yoiui Doubt that the
, Swede Who flung Himself in
Tallfree is Not August An-
derson. “of South Norwalk

With his identity still a profound
secret. the young man who was found
dead. swinging by the neck from the
limb of stall hickory tree near Peat
Swamp. last Saturday morning. will
be buried in Potter’s Field. at the town
daring tomorrow. '

Who the man was, or where he
came front has been a mystery that
has baffled the authorities. , Since the
remains have been on exhibition at
the morgue of Raymond a Son in
Hoyt street. Norwalk, a large number
of people have viewed them and
many of this number saw strong re-
semblances to people whom they had
known.“ -

That he was a Swede ~is conceded.
but there are so many young men of
that nationality that Would fit his des-
cmflon that at first glance.he was
s to have been this or that person
who had disappeared.

A Not-walk neWspaper published a
story last, evening headed in large
type: “‘Body of Suicide ts identified.
Mainline Hanged Himself to Peat
Stump. Last Saturday, Was August
Anderson. Employed Until Eight
Months Ago at Volk's Factory. Seve~

 

rat Who Knew Him Viewed The Re- '

mains .at Raymond's Morgue. Was
Evidently Demented.”

That the man was not Anderson ls
proven conclusively. Anderson was
employed about eight months ago as
engineer at the Volk hat factory in
South Norwalk. and at that time is
build to have disappeared and left his
\vl e in the lurch. When it became
known that the suicide was probably
a Swede. Mrs. Anderson took a trip
to theimo‘rgce. At first she thought
quite likely the man was her husband.
but an examination of the remains
proved that the body could ‘not be
that of the missing husband. Ander-
son had a long scar at the back of
the head. but the back of the suicide's
head Was innocent of any such mark.

it is also remembered that one of
Anderson's teeth ovp. gd’ another

UTICA, ‘N. Y.. Oct. 25.~Edward Du-
quette, twenty-seven years old, one oil
the proprietors of Hess’ Camp, at the
head of Fourth Lake, on Fulton Chaiml
in the Adirondacks. was instantly kill-
ed last night‘by the explosion of a
gas plant from which the hotel was!
lighted. The lights failed soon' after..
darkness and Mr. Duquette with a
lantern went to the gas house. 200
feet in the rear of the hotel. to rem-
edy the difficulty. As he opened the
door there was an , explosion which
broke most of the-windows in the sur-
rounding buitdings and which aroused
every inhabitant and denizen of the
forest for~miles around. It resound-’
ed up and down the lakes and was
heard on Seventh Lake and at Eagle
Bay.

The gas house, a. one-story struc-
ture, was blown to fragments. It is
said that when the plant was con-
structed the discharge pipe was not
extended outside of the plant and that
the accumulation of gas which ignit-
ed, from the lantern when Duquette
opened the door, was due to this do-
feel.

Duquette's home was formerly in
Stanley island, Ont.

PUBLISHER SETS
AFTER COMMISSIONERS

Newspaper in Darlen. But Ap-
plications for Licenses Were
Printed in Stamford Paper

 

 

 

 

The county commissioners are
laughing with their friends on a pe-
culiar situation which cost them a. few
dollars each. as the result of the
strong temp rance scruples of the
Worthy propr etress of the Darion Re
view. .

As was noted in this paper. the
law in regard to advertising liquor ll-
cease applications in town which did
not have a newspaper was charged at
the last session of the general as-
sembly. Under the old law the notice
was put upon the sign posts. The
new law provided that the application
should be advertised in a newspaper
printer] in the town nearest to the
town that has no paper, and having
a circulation in this town.

Up to this year. the county commis-
sioners always supposed that Darlen
was without a newspaper and so the
notice went upon the town poet. When
notice was sent to the Daricn saloon
keepers. they were told that they must
go to Stamford, when the commis-
sioners were in that town to receive
applications. prepared to pay for ad-
vertising in the Stamford paper.

Acting on this notice the five ea-
loon keepers‘and the one drugglst
put in t'.'.jr applications and the
commissio' s sent the applications
to the Stamford Advocate for publica-
tion. at a cost of 84.60 each.

The next day the commissioners
were in Norwalk. While in session a
man not known to the commissioners
walked in and said he was from Dar-
ien. Then hp, wanted to know why it
was that the commissioners advertis-
ed Darien in Stamford when there
was a paper in Barton that had been
in existence for ten years.

The commissioners were dumb-
founded for a moment. Not one of
them had ever heard of the Darien
Review. although it had been regular-
ly issued for the past ten years. The
commissioners began to ask questions
and then he. found out how it was.
It appears that the paper was owned
by a woman who had scruples against
the saloon business. She knew that
she could have the liquor advertise-
ments if she applied, but her princi-
ples being against it she said nothing
and so the town post got all the busi-
ness.

Recently the aper passed into oth-
er hands. As t e law required that
the applications should be published
in a paper in the town wherq the it-
causes were to be issued, the owners
thought they ought to come In for the
work. Later on the commissioners
recoived’a paper signed by all those
who applied for license asking them
to advertise in the Review.

The commissioners thought the
matter over and concluded that there
was nothing to do but pay for the
advertisements out of their own pock-
ets. so that the law would be com-
plied with. What the commissioners
are wondering about is that a paper
could be published in the town for
ten years and nobody. not even the
town clerk, Thaddeua Bell. who know
the law. say anything about it.

A special town meeting, held last
night at the Assembly Hall. Wall
street. voted unanimously to sell the
whole or a. portion of the Smith street
lockup property for manufacturing.

.to representatives of the town and‘ a

certain manufacturer can be agreed
upon. The committee representing the
town is composed of‘the selectmsn.
Samuel Lynes, president of the Nor-
walk Business Men's Association; Cap-
tain Frank D. Layton and Levi War-
ner. town counsel.

The name of the company which de-
sires to locate in Norwalk has not
yet been made public, but it is claimed
that it would be a very desirable ac-
quisition to the town industries. The
concern would utilize a portion of the
output of the St. George Pulp and Pa-
per Company.

Joseph Ooodfellow, president of the
paper company. made a short explana-
tion to the meeting. He said that he
is ,not at liberty to state the names
of the parties publicly until the mat-
ter could be satisfactorily arranged.
if the concern comes here. he said
further. It will employ between 150
and 175 hands and would require from
32.000 to 83.000 tons of paper a year.
Members of the company had been
here to see what arrangements could
be made in relation to procuring a site,
They are men of high standing in the
business and financial world. One man
is a leading manufacturer and em-
ploys a large number of men.

The meeting was called to order by
Town Clerk Smith and Postmaster
Bradley S. Keith was chosen chairman.

Ex-Mayor Arthur C. Wheeler pro
sealed a resolution. which was passed
unanimously with a slight amendment
by Attorney J. Belden Hurlbutt. The
original resolution called for the up-
pnlntmeut of the committee of sale by
the chairman of the present meeting.
Mr. Lynes explained how the matter
of the concern coml here was
brought to the attention of the Nor-
walk Business Men’s Association.

The resolution as adopted was as
.‘ollows:

Voted. That this town sell, for man-
ufacturing purposes. the tract of land,
owned by the town. situated on the
easterly side of Smith street. in said
town. 60 feet in width. and extending
from land of the St. George Pulp and
Paper Company to land of Edward
Merrill, or a portion of said tract 60
feet in width. and extending from the
land of the St. George Pulp and Pa—
per Company to a point ten feet north

up. at a price satisfactory to a com-
mittee to be appointed at this meeting.

Voted. That the selectmen of this
town. the president of the Business
Men's Association. Levi Warner and
Frank D. Layton are hereby appointed

erty at a price satisfactory to them. or
a majority of them. such property to
be sold by them only for manufactur-
ing purposes. .

Voted, That such committee be and
hereby is authorized and directed, as
agents of this town. to execute and de-
liver in the name of and for said
town. the proper deed or deeds of COD-
veyance of said property.

Voted. That theflnda'meived from
the sale of the aforesaid property be
placed in the sinking fund of this town.

Mice Golu' Salary Increased.

Upon motion of Tax Collector Sidney
Guthrie. the meeting voted unanimous-
ly to increase the salary of his clerk.
Miss Olive Cole, from $300 to $600 per
your.

Speaking in favor of the motion, At-
torney Hurtbutt said of Miss Cole:

"Her long service. extremely careful
attention to business, and her cour~
leous' treatment accorded to all, should
induce everybody present to vote for
the increase. She hasn't had the
amount she deserves for several
years."

Protest Against Crescent Street.

The proposition that the town accept
as a highway Crescent street, extending
from Pine Point across the beach to
Sell island brought out a decided pro-
test from J. E. Seweli. representing the
Roton Point Improvement Company
and its losses. the Connecticut Railway
and Lighting Company. The latter
claims. that it owns in fee the property
and beach and water rights appertain—
ing to the proposed route of the so-
callod Crescent street. Any proposi-
tion on the part of the town to take
in the street would be legally contest.
ed. Mr. Sewell wrote.

The letter was read to the meeting.

Mr. Hurlbutt moved, that the matter
be referred to the town. counsel for
an investigation and a report at a fu-
turetown meeting.

Mr. Warner, the town counsel. ro
called that when he that came to Nor.
walk there was no other. way of get.-
tlng to Sell Island except. over the,
route new known as Crescent street.
Of late years. since the bridge ,was
built over Farm Creek. Crescent
street has not been used so much as
formerly. though considerably.

Mr. Warner said that undoubtedly

there is a right of way. though It may b

be a question whether it is a highway.

Death of utilitileugojtiorenzo
Will be Bottll'll our to the
Superior Court ' ‘

Announcement is made today by the
Norwalk police at they have com-
pleted a chain 0 circumstantial evi-
dence that is sufhciently strong to war-
rant them ln holding Vito‘fsasparrino
for trial before a Jury. to answer for
the life of Vincenao Forensic. the ital-
ian barber Who died Monday morning.
a few hours after he was found with
the top of his head crushed. .

Probably the location of evidence the
police have toshow how Eorenzo was
killed is a heavy banana stalk. which
is being jealously guarded at the Wa-
ter street police station. A startling
discovery has been made in connec—
tion with this weapon, which was
found near Forenso's hat. which was
picked up in theyard adjacent to Gas.
parrino's £ace of" business Monday
morning. rgesnt Thomas Hunt made
a close examina’tlon'of the stalk and
found on it a gray hair. which re-
sembles that on thehead of the dead
man. « .
Whatever weapon was, used in mush-
lng in Forenso's skull must have been
resilient to a certain degree. as there
was no abrasion of' the scalp, notwith~
standing that the autopsy disclosed the
top of the skull to be in Oveor six dis-
tinct portions. .

The autopsy was performed yester-
day afternoon at the tour so of Ray-
mond a Sets in Hoyt at set by Dr.
S. . H. ‘Huntinltonr modal-outtakes
of Norwalk. in the presence. of Dr. A.
H. Baldwin. Dr. J: D. ert,‘ several
police officers. newspaper men and un:
dcrtakcr‘s assistants.

The autopsy demonstrated beyond a
shadow of a doubt. that death had re»
sulted from the blow on the head and
as was anticipated. big clots of blood
were discovered on the brain. All of
the vital organs were found to be in
perfect condition and there was every
indication that b‘orenso. under ordin-
ary conditions, would ban: lived for
many years.

One peculiar little circumstance of
the autopsy was the finding of a sliver
of bone in the appendix. This had up
to the time of death caused no incon-
venience. and Would have. probably.
soon passed through. it is supposed
that iv‘orcnzo swallowed the bone at
somc time with his food.

Forenzo is supposed to have been
about fifty years of age. lic. was five
feet. seven Inches tall and would prob
ably weigh about 140 pounds. The
body of the unfortunate man was in-
terred this morning in St. Mary‘s Cem-
etery. A little party of italiun friends
accompanied the remains to the grave
in coaches.

There are several peculiar circum-
stances in the 0.388. which seem con-
tradictions of each other. Captain R.
N. Morchouse saw Forenzo in Main
street Sunday night about 11:30. The
man was staggering and the captain
was of the opinion then that he had.
from his appearance. been in the light.
Another man claims that he saw a
man lying in the lot where Forenso's
hat was found at 10:46. He heard
groans and went back to see what the
trouble was and saw the man. Why
he did not. procure aid for the injured
man is not explained.

Some others who have presented
themselves witnesses evidently have
well developed Imaginations. Some
young men claimed that they heard
quarrcllng going on at the fruit stand
early in the evening and recognised
Eorsnso. The noise continued. they
claimed. so loud that they heard it
several blocks awa . People residing
about the vicinity of the fruit stand
blea'rd nothing unusual throughout the

Hoyi's Theatre Was Well Filled
With Music Lovers and So-

by Miss Effie i. Lane Were
(treat Feature ’

 

 

Society folk and music lovers turned
out in goodly numbers last evening to
hear the treat provided for their ears
by the concert given by David Bis-
pham. at Hoyt's Theatre. Mr. Bispham
as is Well known. was formerly the
baritone soloist at the Metropolitan
Opera House, and and truly a wonder-
ful singer.

His program was along one fora
single soloist and he was enthusiasti-
cally encored by the audience. which
was delighted with him. The program
alone, exclusive of the encores com-
prised seventeen numbers, which were
English and German compositions. and
was as follows:

Ruddier than the Cherry. (Acts and

Calatea). ................. Handel
Qui Sdegno, (Magic Flute). .. Mozart
Deb. vieni alla finestra. (Don Giovan-

ni). ...................... Mozart
The Wanderer. ... ......... Schubert
Who is Sylvia. ............ Schubert

Liebst du um Schonhelt.
................ Clara Schumann
lch stand in dun’klen Truemen,
............... Clara Schumann
An einom lichten Morgen,
................ Clara Schumann
The Wedding Song, .......... Loewe
How Deep the Slumber of the Floods.
........................ Loewe
The Pirate Song. Henry F. Gilbert
Ah. love the sea-gulls hover,
........... Elite 1. Lane
Rosigc Koningln ........ Effie t. Lane
Four Old Songs.
The Dream of Little Rhys. .. Welsh
Down Among the Dead Men. . English
Annie Laurie, ............... Scotch
My Love Nell, ................ Irish

Mr. Blaphnm was in excellent voice
and rendered the more difficult por-
tions of his program with that easy
grace which marks his every perfor-
mance, indeed Mr. Bispham's easy
manner when singing and apparent
lack of effort constitutes one of his
greatest. charms.

He was heard to particular advan-
tage in Mozart's "Magic Flute.” which
be rendered in a highly artistic man»
ital. showing how amply he is the
master of technique and interpreta-
tion.

"Liebst (iu um Schonhelt." by tiara
Schumann. was another example of
his masterly manner in dealing with
what many singers would find exceed-
lngly difficult.

The feature of the program rendered
was two songs. compositions of Miss
Elllie l. Lane, of Norwalk, entitled
"Ah. Love the Seagulls Hover." and
“RosigoKonihln”. They are musical
gems and Mr. Bispham in rendering
them allowed the audience to hear
them produced under the most favora-
ble circumstances possible.

At the close of the program Mr, Bis~
pham gave by request "Danny Dee-
ver." which pleased the audience very
much.

The feeling of the music loving pub
lic. that they should be highly grateful
to Miss Eitiie l. Lane and others. who
have helped to secure Mr. Blspham's
presence here is one which found gen-
eral expression last evening.

Paint Msttufsoiuring Establish-
meat of Felgol a Company
Destroyed by Fire

 

NEW YORK. Oct. 25.——Explosions of
turpentine injured ten firemen. and
half as many spectators at a are that
early this morning destroyed the paint
manufacturing establishment of Felgei
& Company, on West Fortyrnlnth
street. t

On the way to the fire. an engine.
was overturned in a ditch and three
firemen were seriously hurt. One will
probably die. Of those Injured by the
explosions. none was sent to a. hospi-
ta.

Because of the Inflammable material
upon which it fed. the blazequickly
became difficult to control. Three,
alarms were sent out, as warehouses,
on both sides of the blazing factory
were seriously threatened.

‘No one knew how the fire started.
but a night watchman told of driving
two young men from the building only
about hfteen‘minutss before the blaae
was dishonored. This led the police
to the belief that an incendiary was at
work, . , . '

The first explbaion occurred when
the spectators. breaking through the
police lines. were close to the fire.
Glass was blown in all directions and
ovary member of one fire company
was thrown. stunned. to the ground.
Spectators were cut and the firemen
were hurt. but none seriously. No
estimate of the loss was available this
morning.

of Officers and Escapes to

ALSTEAD. N. H.. Oct. 25.~Just
when the town authorities felt sure of
taking George Ford. whom they had
held a prisoner in his room at the
local hotel all night. after he had been
accused of shooting a man on the hotel
piazza. Ford Jumped from the second
story window early today during the
momentary absence of one of the posse
surrounding the hotel. and escaped into
the woods, Those who had been guard-
ing the place. including deputy sher-
ils. constables and citizens. were
quickly on the trail. but the man had
disappeared. Cautious and systematic
search was then begun. as Ford was
armed and had declared that he would
not be taken alive. '

Fred Shortcleeve, who. it is alleged.
was the victim of a bullet from Ford‘s
revolver. was somewharmore comfort-
able this morning that he was last
night. with improved chances for re-
covery.

The shooting followed an argument
between Ford and Shortcleeve. the sub
ject of which has not been ascertained.
in alluding to it after he had taken
refuge in. his room. Ford gave Intima-
tion that Shorlcleeve had angered him,
by asking a deputy sheriff: "lf’a mdn
insulted you. wouldn't you kill him?"
