Lot. kus has been held by direction of the coroner. in the Stamford lockup. He has been closely questioned, and, It is said, has shown no disposition to tell any falsehoods. His record has been looked into, and is said to be good, with the exception of a petty criminal offense of which he was accused in another city. if there was any rea- son for his arrest other than that he- was a companion of the murdered man,,with whom he was employed up- on the Dashieli farm at High Ridge, it has has not been made clear. His rep- utation on the farm was good. Radzimito’s body was found In the river on Tuesday evening, April 25. The man was last seen the previous Saturday evening. when It was suppos- ed he visited New Canaan, It was said that he had some money on his person, and the supposition was that he was murdered by some one tempt- ed by the money. From New Canaan comes a story to the effect that a resident of that town was fishing iii the stream on Sunday mothlng~the morning after which it was supposed the crime was committed lie was at the spot where the body was found. if it had been there Sunday morning. he would have seen It, The murder must, therefore. have bceu committed at least a day later than was at first supposcd. It. is said that the man under suspicion is ablo to establish an alibi. The story about lilo Iisherman was late in com- ing out, for the reason that It is not lawful to fish for trout on Sunday, and some New (‘auaau grand juror might Issuc a warrant for his arrest. Had Loikus demanded a hearing hc might havc bccu rcleasr-d iii any timc sfibscqucnt to his arrest. 'i‘hc man Is like those with whom he worked, a foreigner, ignorant of the law. investigation of the casc has been dilflcult because thamcu with whom Radzimilo worked speak a dialect i‘a‘ millar to very few In this vicinity who understand English, and interpreta- tion has not been easy. if Lolkus is released. that will by no means imply that the attempt to clear tip the mystery will be. abandon- ed.

Man, After Being Elected from Paul Preussor’s Saloon, Proooodod to Fight Owon Rice, who is a cyclonic tor- ror when his appetite for liquor gets the better of his discretion, managed to get into trouble again Saturday at- ternoon. Owen has been keeping pretty straight for about a year and In view of this fact, Judge E. M. Lockwood suspended sentence for a week. The fracas occurred at Paul Prous- ser‘s saloon In lower Wall street. On the stand this morning, Preusser stat- cd that Rice had come into his place first about A o'clock and drank two glasses of beer. He evidently had been drinking before this time. and It became necessary to put him out. He returned again shortly before 6 o'clock and proceeded to demolish the place because he was ejected again. Rice‘s anger. when aroused, assumes fierce proportions and a crowd began to gather on both sides of Wall street, to view the festivities. The infuriat- ed Owen jabbed a hole through a pane of glass in the door and this seemed to- relieve him considerably. Automobile Policeman Bryan H. Silk was secured but when the ofilcer ar- rived. Rice was in Smith street. He readily submitted to arrest and asked what he was charged with. in court this morning he pleaded guilty to'breuking the window, but declared that he was innocent of the charge of breach of the peace and drunkenness. He denied all remem- brance of the occurrences of the of- ternoon. in explanation of his con~ duct, he said that he had taken some morphine pills andrthey, rather than the liquor he had absorbed during the day, were to mime. Rice asked for another chance to do better. Prosecuting Attorney Leo Davis thought he should be. given a jail sentence and made this recom- mendation to the court. The offender promised to pay for the glass he had broken. There were three witnesses against the accused, Officer Silk. Preusser and William F, Bryant. The latter had seen Rice go by "the Holmes. Keeler & Sellock Company's store. mutter- ing to himself. He had not seen the occurrences In frortt of the saloon. FELL OVER DEAD. Mrs. James Rauch, ot' Union Avenue. Dies Without a Moment‘s Warning.
