f'Charies Sooysmith. a wealthy civil
engineer, of New York city. with a
summer residence in Greens Farms,
notified Supt. Birmingham yesterday
that his chauffeur. one Scott Wilson,
had distt’ppesred from Westport, tak'
ing with him a 84,000 10 h. p. auto-
mobile. The chauffeur had left his
employer’s place at b o'clock yester-
day morning. and all trace of him had
been lost. Mr. Sooysmith wanted him

, apprehended.

Wilson Quickly Captured.

The patroimen were given a de-
scription of the car. a blue one with
the New York license No. 6.335 and
the Connecticut number 3,468. Some
of the patrolman remembered seeing
such a car driver about the city yes—
terday with‘ some of the girls of the
"midway" as occupants. A quest for
the chauffeur and the automobile was
then begun. About 8 o’clock Wilson
ran the machine into the Blue Rib-
bon garage. on Cannon street. The
police were quickly communicated
with and Officer McGirr sent to get
the chauffeur. He found him at the
garage and took him into custody.

Chauffeur Had Been Drinking.

Wilson admitted leaving Westport
yesterday and driving the car about
the city last. night with a party of
women friends. He said he ilad been
drinking "some but. not to excess.

“You don't think i would drink
heavy and try to run that car. do
you?" he inquired of the superinten
dent.

"I don't think you know what, you
have been doing,” said superinten-
dent. “Where have ,1!!! been since.
you took the machine away from
Westportf” ..~

Stranger, and Lost His Way.

Wilson said .he was a stranger
about these parts. but knew he’start»
ed for home all r giving his friends
a dash last pig t, and when he
reached the warhead: bridge in Fair
field on the rohd home he became mix-
ed aod got on the wrong road. Said
Wilson: "The car broke down sonic
miles from here andl spent. several
hours fixing it. Then l returned to
this city. i would not. be so foolish as
to try and steal the car. i have plenty
of references to show good character."

Pleaded Hard for Release.

Superintendent Birmingham inform-
ed Wilson he would be obliged to hold
him. Wilson is a young man of pre
possessing appearance and had cvi-
dentiy boon drinking and lost track
of limt’. llc plcuded hard to be allow-
ed to tuko the car back to the owner.
He said he came from Plitsbnrg, i‘a..
and only worked for Mr. Sooysmith
a few months, but imd been Well rec-
ommondcd.

He said further, he had bot-n a
chauffeur for Janice M. 'i‘bompsou, a
rich broker of ilaltimort', Md, and
workctl a your in the l’opct'i‘olodo
works anti also at the garugc of the
concern in Fifty-fifth stroct, New
York. lie woulctl a cltuut-c to talk
to Mr. Hooycmiib over the lltlcpbonc
to see if ltc could not fix the tnullt-r
up.

8°oyemlth Angry.

The owner of the machine. however.
was not in a frame of mind to "be
fixed." lie iooit the young man to
task over the lob-phone for his con-
duct in running on with tho machine
and later urged lllt‘ police to hold Wil-
son.

The chauffeur was bold and locked
up for the night awaiting the arrival
of herlff Kempor or Buikicy. of West
por .. one of whom is expertcd to come
here and take the young man back
to that town for trial. Prom ludlca~
tlonll Mr. Sooysmiib will press the
charge of theft of an uulottlobilc
against the young man. whose little
escapade promises to become a scri-
oua matter with the prisoner.

After a deadlock lasting over a
month, the county commissioners have
elected Judge Filmore 8. Banks, of
Fairlleld, county treasurer for a term
of two years. The appointment did
not come much in, the nature of a
surprise, as it had been predicted last
week that there was a decided leaning
toward the b‘airhoid man. The elec-
tion was unanimous.

Judge Banks succeeds Judge John
H. Light. of South Norwalk. In ad-
dition to Judge Banks, former Lieu-
tenant Governor Edwin 0. Keeler and
Judge Light were candidates for the
office. Each county commissioner had
a candidate, but things were eventual-
ly smoothed out.

One of the important matters in
connection with the office of county
treasurer is, the depositing of the
county funds. The money is in a
South Norwalk bank at present, but
it is thought there may be some
changes now. The county always has
a balance in the South Norwalk bank
of from $5,000 to 320.000. Judge Banks
was asked if he contemplated making
any changes in regard to the transfer
of the county money:

“i haven't taken the matter under
consideration.” said Judge Banks. "1
received notice of my appointment
only yesterday morning, and l have
not thought about the depositing of
the money at all. in fact, i don‘t
know which bank in Norwalk it is
n.’ .

At the present time the City Na—
tional Batik of South Norwalk has in
its custody 820.000 of the joint ac-
count of the bridges and county home.
The Connecticut National Bank of
Bridgeport. has the license money,

which amounts to considerably more-

than the other accounts The salary
of the county treasurer is $300 a year.

Judge Banks is one of the best
known Republican politicians in the
state. He has had a wide experience
in legislative matters and has been
active as a Republican leader for
many years. He was a member of the
judiciary committee of the last gen-
eral assembly. He served in the gen»
cral assemblies of 1901 and 1903 and
in the last named one was house
chairman of the most important com-
mittee, a position which carries with
it. the house leadership.

in Faitleld. where Judge Banks
resides. he is the recognized leader of
his party. He succeeded to the posi-
tion so long hold by the late Judge
Glover as judge of probate in 1896
and has held it ever since.

Judge Light, who retires. hold the
office of county treasurer for six
years, one month and seven days. lie
was originally chosen to fill ollt the
unexpired term of 'l‘slimndgo linker
on June 23. l899, anti he was also
chOscn on the same date for the
long term which began July 1, fol—
lowing. He was rc-clocted in 1901
anti i903.

Senator Fessenden Pleadeti
With Senator Donovan to
Let lip on Senator Lake, the
. Accused-Claimed that it
Would Prolono the Session—-
Donovan Roasts Lake

 
 
 
 

 

 

Just. why Senator Donovanwewho
accused Senator Lake, of this, city, of
trading his vote on the repeal of the
general railroad law for a postpone
meat of action on the demurrage bill,
and. on Senator Lake's denial of the.
accusation, repeated the charge and
demanded an investigation—«lid not
put his motion in writing as requested
by the presiding officer. has come to
light, says the Hartford Post. _

it was not Senator Donovan's inut
bility to write the motion in the clue
inf; hours of the senate, but Senator
Fessenden.

While Mr. Donovan was engaged at
his desk Mr. Fessenden came to him
and. resting his arm on Senator Don
ovau's shoulder. made a personal ap-
peal.

Mr. Fesscnden believes in lcttlns
bygon‘es remain bygones. lie is not
thirsting after investigations.

He said in substance that the vote
trading accusation had gone far
enough and must be stopped. intimat-
ing that. parliamentary points might
be raised that would stop it.

The inference of the appeal was
that the investigation would stir up
things too much for the comfort of all
concerned.

The motion was not put in writing
and the investigation was not or-
dcrcd.

Confirmed by Donovan.

Over the telephone Senator Dono-
van at his home in South Norwalk
confirmed this version of the affair.
when asked about it. He even elabo-
l'ulcd somewhat, saying:

"You, Pessenden did make a per
snuai appeal to me not it) pill my mo
