Heretofore, when motorists have
been held up for failure to have num-
erals displayed on the front part of
their machines and for not having tail
lamps lighted at night, bonds of 825
:have been required. Most owners will
return for trial rather than lose this
amount. Now, however, a bond of 810
is taken by the police. The practice
of the court has been to impose a fine
of 85, but rather than come any dis
tance to save the other 35 practically
every owner will forfeit. Half of all
forfeited bonds go to the town under
the new law.
The first man to forte the 810 .was

on
WiliamIC. Carpenter, in the county
Jul], at Schenectady. told the story of,
his escape in company with William
H, Tucker. of Hartford, the wifermur-
tiered, from the Asylum iorthe Insane
at Middletown. Carpenter. as has been
reported in The Sentinel, is under or
rest for shooting a. man of whom he
was Jealous.
“On April 30," he _ said, “Tucker
and I get out of the place together.
I don't care
to tell just how we got out. We had
inside help. Once outside we beat it
to the north and soon get into a
scarcely settled country. We kept to
gather for about an hour or so. When
we came to a crossroad, Tucker took
the road to the north, and I kept on
to Waterbury. That is the last I saw
of Tucker, and I have never heard a
word from him since that time. I told
my wife that I had heard from Tuck
er, but I was simply kidding her. i
never have heard from him. But I
know the plans he had made before
we made our get away. Tucker had a
sister in Brooklyn, and he said. he
meant, to go to her as soon as he
could get there ",and with her help
he expected to board a. vessel for
San Francisco. He was going around
the Horn. While I do not know posi
tively what became of Tucker. I have
.every reason to believe that he car-
ried out these plans."
It is probable that Carpenter would
not have been identified as a fugitive
from the asylum if. he had not taken
to drink. Further details of the shoot-
ing in Schenectady are as follows:
The Shooting inschcnecta‘dy.
Carpenter had Just been placed un-
der arrest for falling to support his
wife, when he deliberately fired two
bullets from a .32- calibreirevolver at
John D Isham. Both took effect, one
Striking Isham in the right side,
glancing from the lung, and the other
entering the bdomen. Carpenter then
attempted 5: shoot Detective B. S.
Van Densen, who was fighting for pos-
session of the revolver but this time
missed his mark and. the bullet how
wide. Isham, whose injuries are of a
serious nature was taken to the
Bills Hospital, where it was said that
he will probably recover, and Carpen-
ter was bundled to the police station.
Mrs Carpenter, who fainted at the
time of the shooting, said afterwards
that her husband had been in an asy-
lum and escaped. She also asserted
that six years ago he shot a woman. at
Norwalk but the bullet did not Prove
fatal. " Oh God. I hoped you had killed
him. I wish you had shot him," she
cried hysterically when Detective Van
Deusen spoke to her. Those in the
room when the shooting occurred
were Mr. [sham and his wife, Carpen-
ter and his wife, Forest Jepson, law
clerk, and Russell Richtmyer, a bar-
tender, who it is said is one of Car-
penter's friends. Detective Van Deusen
had just stepped into the doorway, af-
lter notifying Carpenter that he was
under arrest and Carpenter followed a
few steps. Van Deusen had no knowl-
edge about Carpenter's past actions,
and had no cause to think that he
would commit a. crime.
The alfair was all over in a moment.
Just as Carpenter was about to leave
the room he turned suddenl, and pull-
ing a revolver from his poc et, blazed
away at Isham, who was less than ten
feet from him. The detective wheeled
like a flash and rushed at the man,
while Jepson attempted to strike up
his arm.
Hardly had he fired the second shot
before Carpenter was borne to the
floor. He turned the revolver on Van
Benson and again pulled the trigger.
the bullet, lust gracing the officer‘s
clothing. Then Van Deusen got his
knee on the man's arm and Jensen
snatched the revolver from his hand.

couch in the rear corner of the room.
sank over groaning and with a wild
cry Mrs Carpenter pitched forward
on the floor in a faint. For some time
it was believed that she also had been
shot.
labour and his wife have lived at
the Lafayette House for the past aov

there about two months ago. Both

bably puncturing the ascending colon

Carpenter did not attempt to deny
the shooting. "I did it, and now I’m
ready to take the punishment,” he
said. “It was not premeditated. and

had decided to marry her and give her

STATE WILL AID
, IN PAUPERS’ CARE
Towns Helped Considerably,
Buta Rigid investigation is
Required
. Because of the new law concerning
the support of state pnupcrs. which
went into effect today, new applica-
tion blanks are being sent by the
slate comptroller to the various towns
of the state with the warning that they
will have to be used if applica-
tions are to be considered. It is ex-
pected that under the new law there
will be a large increase in the num-
ber of paupers supported by the act
that all persons who new no settle-
ment in any town in the state and all
Indigent persons discharged from the.
state prison or the county jails or
workhouses, who were not inhabitants
of the town where committed to the
institutions, shall be provided for by
the state. Under the old law the slate
comptroller Was authorized to pay out
money for the support of indigent
persons for the period of six months
after they came into the suite and
no longer. It can be seen that the
revision opens up the state aid to a.
great multitude of needy persons who
have perhaps lived in the state for
years, and it is quite certain that
town will ask state aid for many per-
sons who In the past may have need-
ed help or who may apply for it in
the future.
in most cases, as in .the past. the
town will provide for the state pau-
pers at their almshousos and will re-
cover fromthe state the expense in-
curred. Within five days after the
selectmen commence to provide re-
lief for such paupera, they must file
with the state comptroller a statement
of the facts. The blanks for these
statements are those which the comp-
troller is now sending out. Because of
the apparent ease with which towns
may get state aid for paupers under
the new law. the state will require a
much more careful investigation into
the affairs of the persons receiving
support, to see if some town is not
liable for the expense or if there are
not some relatives able to assist.
