John urosz, calling on His
Sweetheart, Teresa Wargo,
Saturday Night, Pulled a
llevoivcrirom His Pocket,
and Probably Accidenily Put
Bullet Into His Brain

A rather mysterious shooting took
place in Springwood Saturday night,
and as a result of it. John Orosz. of 18
Benton street. is a corpse today. in
some respects the case resembles the
famous Nan Patterson case.

Last February John Orosz, a Hun-
garian. aged nineteen years, met Ter-
esa. Wargo, a quiet, pretty little Hun-
garian girl, sixteen years old, who lives
with her parents at 41 Laura street.
'He conceived an affection for her and
had) fltlishrdl shr sbr shrf shrdlunu
the two had “kept company.” When
Omsz had finished his daily work he
was in the habit of going to her nine
and spending the evenings with h r.

they never quarreled. so far as can
be learned, and there was no other girl
or no other luau in the case to excite
the jealousy of either John or Teresa.
John had often told her that he would
like to marry her, bill. she apparently
was a sensible little girl and knew that
she was too young to consider the mat.
for yet. awhile. At times John be-
came moody and thoughtful and when
asked what was the matter, told her
that it was due to troubles “in the old
country” before he came here.

For some time he had owned a re
volver and like many boys he took
every opportunity to shoot it off. lie
liked to hear the noise. He always
carried it with him. There was never
a celebratiomin Springwood, blit that
he fired blank cartridges in observing
it. At times who nhe was calling up
Teresa he would take the revolver
from his pocket and play with it and
several times she had taken it away
from him.

Saturday night he called at her home
a little after 7 o'clock. and Went to
her room, which. (used as a bed-
room and slttlhg‘r as the house is
a very small one an there are eleven
in the family.

They had been there a short time

 

 

, «when tie: other-members of the faintlys

heard a,revolver shot and ran upstairs.
They met reea flying down for as»
claimed. and on going to the room
found John on the floor with a gaping
wound in his right temple, still alivc.
but in a state of coma from which he
was never to emerge.

Teresa ran at once for Dr. V. G.
Tito, of Monroe street. and summoned
him. When Dr. Tito arrived. he saw
that. the case. was a hopeless one and
after securing the. revolver, summoned
Medical Examiner 9. H. Huntington.
The wounded man was taken to home
of relatives at 14 Hoyt. street, where
at 7:30 Sunday morning he died.

Medical Examiner Huntington illl'
mediately notified Coroner Charles A.
Doten who ordered tin inquest to be
held at Police Headquarters at 10
o'clock this morning. Medical Exam-
iner Huntington testified to having
viewed the remains. ilc found that
death was due to a wound in the right
temple. and told of the little the man
died without having been cousious.

Teresa Wurgo, the girl. was then
called. She said that she had known
Orosz since last February and that
they had been keeping company. They
never quarrelod. He had talked about
marrying her, bill they were never en-
gaged. He had told her that he had
never had another girl. He came to
her hoiiso a little after 7 o'clock 8a -
lirday night and they wont to her mo 1
upstairs. The room was a bedroom.
but. was often used as a sitting room
and company was often entertained
there. They talked for a while and
shin told him that she was going to
ltowuyton. Sunday. He wanted to go
with her, but could not, as there was
a meeting of his society, which he
must. attend. He asked her not to go
and he told him she would not go if
he did not want her to.

lie put. his arms around her and
asked her to kick him. She told him
to wait tinttl later. Then he took
the revolver from his pocket. and ill a
joking way said: "'i will have to
make you with the revolver." She
thought he was fooling, she testified.-
Thon he said: "How would you like
to flop mo shoot myself like this?" lie
pointed the revolver to his head and
there was an explosion. She ran out.
to call for help, and did not sec.
whether be full to the floor or not. She

as she. was going for Dr. Tito. Ores:
had been fooling with the revolver pro

that one cartridge was discharged. He
had been in good spirits all the evening

She was not jealous of film, and did

Mrs. Wargo, the girl's mother, was
the next witness. She testified to the
notations between the two, and had re-
garded them as lovers. They had now
or quarreled so far as she knew. The

was a suicide. If she had. it. was be
cause she was so excited she did not
know what she said.
Dr. Tito stated that from the nature
of the wound it looked as if there
might be two bullet holes in the head.
As there were two empty shells in the
revolver this might have put another
view on the matter, but Medical lux-
amiuer Huntington made a later ,tbor-
ough examination of the wound and
ound that there was only one bullet.
From the evidently truthful and mat-
ter of fact attitude of the girl there
was little doubt that she was telling
the trilth and the finding of Coroner
Doten will be "accidental death."

SOUTHPORT BITTER OVER
TOWN MEETING DEFEAT

Half of Washington Hall to be
Used for School Purposes —-
No New Highways to Little
Danbury at Present

a

 

 

 

 

The special town meeting held in
the b‘aii‘fleld town hall, Saturday of
ternoon. was far from a harmonious
one and every question brought before
the ulcctiug was strongly contested.
The residents of the Southport dls~
tricl rcccived a defeat. from the Fair-
ileld contingent in regard to retain»
ing \‘i’ashlligton hall, and the South-
ports in return defeated the motion
to open a new highway ill lt‘alrflcld.
The result of the meeting has caused
a bitter feeling among the residents
of Southport against the other sec-
tions of the town. The Scilthport
people feel that while the town had
a pcrlcct right to take away the only
public hall in the villngc, that it was
very selfish of them to do so. They
also are of the opinion that if Judge
Perry had remained away from the
meeting they would still be ill pos-
session of Washington ball. The
members of the school board, con-
:rsry to their request, were instructed
by the “looting not. to engage the
services of a music teacher in the pub.
lic schools for the ensuing your. The
meeting was one of the longest on rein
ord and on account of its length it
motion to adjourn was passed before
all the questions in the warning were
acted upon,

The meeting was called to order
shortly after ii o’clock by belcctman
Morehouse. and Clitus King was
chosen chairman, slid Joseph Flint,
clerk. The warning was then read and
as the questions pertaining to schools
were the. lust Judge John H. Perry
made a lnotion that the meeting dis-
cuss the school questions first.“ which
was carried. Moses Edson Banks, u
it Will)! the analog“ board then ex-
p a nod to The “looting the condition of
both the Strstfiold and Southpurt
whoollmuses. He. went into detail and
.nformed the meeting that additions
must be built on both schools at once.
He said $1.l’i0ti was needed at Strutflcld
to raise ills present building. and that
only $500 was needed at Southport.
ltrovldilig half of Washingtfm lulll was
partitioned of! and used for a school
room. After a lcuglhly debate .luiiuzc
l‘erry offered a motion, which was car-
ried by a standing vote, lillll hull of
Washington hull be partitioned off
with sliding doors and used as a school
room, and that a fire escape be built
for the protection of the scholars. A
motion was also passed to build an ad-
dition lo the alrnttleld school.

The next question brought before
the llltif‘lilll: was the employing of a
music teacher in the schools for the
ensuing year. After lunch discussion
it was voicd by tho lllcuting to ill-
struct tho school board not to engage
a tcuchcr of music. The question of
opening a highway from the Main
strcot In Fairficld to Little Dunbul'y
was next brought before the. lliceling.
Andrew B, Wakulilali moved that. the
meeting instruct the sclcclmcn to open
he highway. After another long do
hate, a motion was made to lily the
matter on the table, which was carried.
Although therc were several other
matters to be brought before the "loot.
lug. a motion to adjourn was cur.

Management of Helen Point
Has No Desire to Antagonize
People of the Horwalks, and
will Not Have Professional

. Sunday Games at the Resort

——Comments by Local Pas-

' tors ~

 

“—

Manager James 8. Kelly, of itotou
Point, informed a Sentinel representa-
tive Saturday afternoon, that there
would no Sunday ball playing at
the i’oln lo stated that the Roton
Point mun ‘ nit bad no desire or
intention of ‘ Thgollizing the people
of The Norwulks. it had always been
the desire to retain the good—will oi
the residents who patronized the ill-
tructlvc summer resort. and Mr, Kelly
and the others interested said this
would continue to be the policy.
Therefore. there will be no profession-
al ball playing Sundays at the Point
this season.

Several of the pastors of the local
churches commented on the subject
yesterday. during the course of their
sermons.

Alliance With a Righteous Cause.

At the First Methodist Church the
pastor, the Rev. W. Wol‘ford 'l‘. Dun-
can, preached the third sermon in the
series on special topics, speaking on

isiislla‘s Lodgings." After telling the
story of the Shunamitc woman who
and a room built on the wall of her
house in order that the prophet. of God
might have a lodging place in his
JUllilll‘NH, the preacher spoke of the
value of identifying unc's self with a
righteous caller. and applied the
thought to the baseball controversy
as fullowu: "We have had during the
past week a very clicouruglng ovi-
dencc of the fact that there are men
in this community who am willing to
ally themselves with a righteous cause.
The fact that the official men of near—
ly lift the churches of the town, repl‘e
scutiug by far the majority of all
the church members of all de-
nominations, were willing to have
their names appear in protest against
Sunday baseball, must be gratifying
to all lovers of good (ll‘ficr‘lilld of tilt
cause of Jesus Christ. ‘

'lili.. identification of the Christian
rullglon with the common practices of
daily life is often criticized. Christian
people are fearful that religion will
become secular if the pulpit and the
church deal with questions of the
day. They are willing that the pr0<
phet shall be llkc Elijah of old and
.iwcll apart from the ballots of men.
.iltlicr than like Ellshu, who is more
.l uly the type of (Jurist. and come into
..;()Bi intimate. l'clution with it“ the
doings of business and social life. flllt
men of the world are still more heal.
tilllt about permitting religion to touch
lllc daily doings of life.

The church has been frequently crit—
icized by these very people for bold-
ing aloof from practical lit’o. Men
have told us that. they did not curc
anything for our prayer lllectings ulld
our sougswthey wanted every day
Christianity. But last wcuk we gave
tllc world a little every day Christian-
ity. We turned aside from otlr prayer
meetings and dealt with money-milk-
Inn. and ill“! observance, and plcilsure
sucking. and the world was hugely
offended.

The world is willing that Christ
collie in contact with life so long as it
duos not rebuke the sin of the world.
bill this is impossible. slum Jesus
came to the world for the one pur-
[iUt-lf' of destroying the works of the,
devil. Then, again, this Shuuamlte
woman exposed herself to the charge
of inconsistency in thus identifying
herself with the cause for which Elisha
stood. She was intimately related to
the royal family, and that family had
no sympathy with Elisha nor his
cause, and yet she dared to build for
him a special room, and thus did him
ill his work.

We have been charged with Incon-
sistency in opposing iiunday baseball.
We have been told that there are vio-
lations of the law in abundance and
to these we might have given exclu-
sive attention. but we answer that
we have not singled out Sunday base-
biill; it has singled itself oilt. it
stands alone as it proposed violation
of Sunday law. We know of no ()lllt‘i'
proposed violation that in like it:

if tomorrow the local papers should
announce that all the saloon keepers
of the town proposed to open their
saloons next Sunday. and permit all
their customers to come in the front
door Instead of compelling them to go
in secretly as is now the case the
churches and the ministers would is-
we a protest and a luminous to the
autiwrttlee similar to that issued last
week. The saloons know better than
to thus openly defy the law and the
ilolitlmont of the people. Yet this iii
what professional Elliott-y baseball has
done. Then again we find that. flun-
diiy Marshall has singled itself out not
only in our state but, throughout the
country. Our movement in Noiwstk is
not an isolated one. in other cities
and other states self-respecting citi-
iienii hilVo been compelled to not.

A general invasion of the rights of
the people has occurred, and Sunday
baseball is played only where the citi-
sens have looked either the manlmuss
or the morality to rise up ugiiilliit ‘it.
or where the baseball leaders have re-
sorted to .a contemptiblo process of

munity. The young men do not know
it themselves, and their lapral salva-
tion is dependent on those who can
see, and have the courage to oppose
the influences which tend to drag them
down.

Nor-walk Methodlct Church.

Sunday baseball and other violations
of law Were subjects for caustic denun»
ciation by the Rev. Lewis K. Moore
at the Norwalk Methodist Church last
evening. Mr. Moore did not refer to
the crusade against Sunday ball so
lunch as a fight. against the game pri-
marily as oppOsitlon to out and out
professional ball. . He called upon the
citizens to take a decided stand, so as
to make it as hard as possible to via
late the law.

The selling of liquor Sundays on
the outskirts without interference on
the part of the authorities was anoth-
or practice flayed by the Rev. Mr.
Moore, The pastor also spoke of the
planner in which the islet machines
had been taken out. Thepolice were
criticised for first notifying persons to
take them out. He rigid this wasbol
the practice followed in arresting all.
tomobliists. ‘ ‘

Mr. Moore understood that there is
still one slot machine being run in
Nul-walk and he was told that the ma
son the. owner kept. it in use was be-
cause he had not been notified by the
police to take it out.

First Congregational Church.

At the service in the First. Congrega-
tional church in Norwalk yesterday
morning. Mr. 3gbert called attention
to the published protest of the official
board of the. churches regarding Sun-
day baseball. lle emphasised the fact
that the behavior of fiunday baseball
crowds elsewhere in going to and re
turning from guinea (notably in New
York on the 3rd. avenue elevated road,
where the police reserves were called
olli ailtl'at. Ridgcwood, where rough
anti rude behavior is general) made it
incumbent upon the people of Norwalk
to oppose to the utmodt, this attack on

lions of youth and called attention to
the fact that the proposed playing was
not in behalf of overworked young
men who have no other opportunity
but was in behalf of a beam that plays
on Saturday, and for Money. not for
recreation.

Mr. ligllcrt. added that, the proposed
games mean not only disorder. but a
,lrt-cudcul for other sports that would
ilitcriurc still more with the. spirit llllii

dily.

Building industry in Chicago is
Threatened with Paralysis.
and there Does Not Appear
to be an End to the Struggle

 

 

CHICAGO. May 22.-—8preadlng of
the teamsters' strike began promptly
today. Thirtycslli teamsters employed
by the thtenhouse dc Embree Com-
pany, lumber dealers. and four by Ed-
ward Hines' Lumber Company were
the first to be forced into the struggle
following the refusal of the teamsters'
Joint council to endorse the settlment
provisionally arranged with the em-
ployers by President 0. P. Shea. of the
Teamsters' Union. ,

Through the threatened spread of
the strike to all lumber dealers every
branch of the building industry in
Chicago was today apparently facing
paralysis. There are only 800 team-
stors employed by lumber firms, but
so close are the relations between
them and several other unions of men
engaged in hauling building material
that the walkout of the lumber teamv
store, it was said, would doubtless lead
to strikes in nearly every department
of the building industry. indirectly
dependent upon the building material
teamstcrs, it was estimated today.
hung the employment of nearly too.-
000 men in yards, mills. factories and
on construction work. it was not be-
lleVod the drivers” strike would affect
the wood industries or building con-
struction work generally at first. if.
however. the walkout should go all
along the line. at is threatened today
to do, all the lumber yards of Chicago
would be tied up.

The same program was seemingly
in store for the stone industries and
the enterprises dependent upon them.
The planing mills, the sash and dill»
factories, the box factories, and kin-
dred plants would also face soon a
shortage of lumber supplies which
would necessitate closing down.

Action by the toamsters today was
decisive. in a few moments the first
forty recruits to the strike had been
increased to an own hundred. Sov~
only of the total were employees 01
the Edward Hines Lumber Company
at the head of which is former Presi—
dent Hineu‘of the lumber dealers' as-
sociution. Mr. Hines has been pur-
ilculally prominent unwng the em-
ployers in the recent negotiations for
a settlement. Aside from the firm.
the itiltcnbouse dz Embrce Lumber
Company was the first to feel the
spread of the strike today. Thirty
tealnslcrs employed by Rittenhouse dz
Emul‘ec quit. The full force in each
case struck. The cause, us heretofore.
was llll order to dclivcr material to
firms boycotted by the tcillllslcl‘s.
Paradoxical as ii. may appear, Pres-
ident Sllcu was reported today as not
anxious to spread the strike. lie was
understood furthermore to take the
ground that the strike would not be
extended unless it were through the
actions of the other side. if the team
owucrs insisted upon delivering goods
to the strike bound houses, the team—
sters directly affected would strike.
but that otherwise no strike would be
called.

Edward llincs. president of the
Lumbermcn's Association. dociareu
that every lumber yard in the city
would before long be without. drivers.
"it means complete stagnation of busi
ness at a time what building opera
lions in Chicago are becoming to a
greater extent than has been known
since 1892, said Mr. lilacs.

The express companies. whose ut-
filliliuvml lilo question of reinstating
their striking ‘(il'iVOl'fl caused the
break in the peace plans, stood him
today, refusing to take back any of
their old men. The officials of the
express companies declared absolutely
that none of the strikers would be re-
instilled.

IN WALL STREET. SATURDAY:

with in.
St. George’s Horse. (iollldes
with Express Wagon .

 

loseph Notchaliy,

 

An exciting runaway, which borrl-’
fled spectators. was brought to a clt-
max at the corner of Main and Wall
streets Saturday afternoon about it
o’clock. Two men were painfully in-
jured and a deep wound was inflicted
in the chest of the runaway horse,
which was being ridden by Joseph
Notchaky, a coachman employed by
Mr. and Mrs. E. L St. George, of Elm
street.

The young man was riding the spir-
ited animal to a blacksmithshop. in
West avenue he was thrown from the
saddle, but was assisted on again. it
is stated that soon after one of the
reins broke and the horse started on a
dead run, with its rider clinging to the
saddle. to save himself from being
thrown again.

The trip through. crowded Wall
street was negotiated successfully,
hilt when the runaway animal attempt-
ed to make the turn into Main street,
he immediately met with serious‘trou-
his. Apparently he attempted to slack.
on his pace somc'Whnt. but on the slip
pery pavement this was impossible
and he collided with one of L. Janey-
nold‘s big trucks. Notchsky was dis-
‘ogcd from his perilous seat and was
thrown headlong Into the truck, fortun.
ately landing on a pile of burlap. Not-
withstanding his soft. landing place.
his face was badly scratched.

The force of the collision was so
great. that Edward Clark. driver 0. the
truck team, was thrown from his seat
and landed on the stone pavement. His
face was gushed and one hand sev-
erely bruised. Clark is unable to work
today and may be laid up for several
days. Apparently Coachman Notc‘hsky
was all right. with the exception of
the bruises on his face.

The runaway horse fared badly. A
"rave" at the back end of the truck
penetrated into his chest. about four
inches, making a very ugly wound.
Spectators came to the rescueandpre.
vented the horse from doing any more
damage. The injured animal was taken
in charge by Dr. G. M. Brundage, the
veterinary surgeon, who still has it in
his care.

The truck team was also frightened
by the collision and started to run
away. They only succeeded in run-
ning a short distance before they were
captured.

’ngton.street butcher. was painfully ln~

cured the implement, and had it sus-
,iendud over her head, when it struck
1 line. and the back of the axe came
town heavily on her forehead. making
a bad gash. Dr. Jean Dumortier was
summoned. and took a stitch in the
wound. 1

Defeated the ‘ Hewtleliis, of,
Bridgeport, at Hotoli Point, ..

Saturday Afternoon, By the
Remarkable Score of Eight-

 

 

een to Two—Some Other lie-
sulis Noted
The Norwalke celebrated their

grand opening on the new diamond,
at Roton Point, Saturday afternoon,
by defeating the Newnelds. of Bridge-
port, by a scarf of 18 to 2. The Roton
Point grounds are considered to be
as good as any in the state. There is
a fine grand stand in back of the
catehcr‘s box and bleachers on either
side, each capable of accommodating
three hundred people. Wheeler t
Wilson's band, of Bridgeport. furnish.
ed a concert previous to the game, and
rendered selections during the change
of players after thehalves of each in-
ning throughout the afternoon. '

John Cahill, the captain of the Nor-
walks. was painfully hurt while mak-
ing home plate in the early 'part. of
the game. being spiked by Hoeschle.
the catcher for the Newflelds. The ac-
cident was an unfortunate one, al—
though it did not appear to interfere
with Cahill's good playing throughout
the rest of the game. He was slid-
ing toward the plate, when Houchle.
who had the ball, darted forward, and
stepped on Cahill's right leg. The flesh
was cut, and a painful bruise caused.

At another point in the game some
excitement was caused by one of the
braces on the timber supporting the

bleachers on the west side slipplnl

frommlace. The scores of spectator-
occupylng seats there hustled for the
ground. and very fortunately no dam-
age was done. The accident was due
to excessive weight on the boards.

The Norwalks made sixteen hits.
while the Newfields madp nine futile-
attempts to stop some would-be hits.
Tuckey pitched great it for the
Norwalks, retiring thir ‘p men on
