the least sign of emotion or the from
or of a muscle. John Zet, the farmer
who killed his wife and granddaughter
on Tuesday, stood at the prisoner's
bar in the local police. court today and
heard a complaint read charging him
with the murder of his wife. Mary.
Through an attorney, Dennis J. Mc-
Carthy. Zet, pleaded not guilty, listen-
ed to the‘introduction of enough evi-
dence to establish the fact that a crime
was committed. and then was bound
over to the fall term of the Superior
Court. Upon the making out of the
court papers High Sheriff Spragtte took
the handcuffed prisoner over to the
jail.
The arraignment was before Judge
J. E. Fiske. The complaint fixed the
time of the murder at the Zet farm
at between 6 and 10 a. m. on Tuesday.
Charles F, Roberts, of New Haven.
was sworn in to take the testihiouy
and then Prosecuting Attorney Noone
called several witnesses. Zet had
walked over from the jail without any
ing a word. He did not show in his
gait that his injuries troubled him.
but his face and head bore signs of
the strugglafihe had had with his son.
Andrew. There'was a gathering of
men and a few women outside the po-
lice court room and inside the accom-
modations were taxed. Zet walked
unconcernedly into the room and was
placed in a seat used by the prisoners.
When his name was called he stood up
and evinced little interest either in
the surroundings or the proceedings
which were being commenced him. At-
torney McCarthy stepped forward
when the complainfiiad been read and
entered the pigs of not guilty. The
admissiomof ”Colony at this time
was waived an! the son, Andrew Zet.
was called as vaitness. He said.that
he w a son 0‘?
were ix members of the family living
on the farm on the Bolton road. at
,,~ which placsriho crime was committed.
The six were John, the father. Mary.
the mother, Jobs. In. employed in a
mill in..th_ii‘t city, .the,witness, Susie
Kloetser, who is a married daughter,
and the latter’syhild, Viola.
The witness said he had left home
at 5 o’clock Tuesday morning to take
his brother to work. He bought some
groceries and returned home. Upon
arriving his father came to the wagon
. d took out the groceries. Witness
en took the horse and went into the
barn. He went later into the kitchen
and took off his coat. in going in to
change his clothes he passed the room
in which mother and niece lay on the
bed. but he did not notit‘e them particu-
‘larly. While disrobing, his father
came in behind him and attacked him
with a small mason’s sledge hammer.
After a herd tussle he overpowered his
father and tied his hands and feet.
During the fight he saw for the first
time that his mother and niece had
been wounded. After he -had con
trolled his father .he went into the bed-
room and saw that both apparently had
been'killed. Hewont to the door and
met Walter Reincld. who had been
berylng dad had come to the house for
a drink. Reinhold helped to carry the
father out of doors and then he went
for assistance. .
On cross-examination no other ma
terial facts were brought out.
Walter Reinhold was the next wit-
ness. . ‘
He told of stopping at the house for
a drink and of helping Andrew to drag
his father out. Then he went to get
.help. Miss Elizabeth A. Pitz, the
nearest neighbor, told of Reinhold com-
lng to her. She went to the Zet farm
._ and saw John Zet. Asked him why he
committed the crirge and he did not
answer. but asked is she dead?" Zet
then said his wife had been nagging
him, and that he would have “gone
away if she had given him money.
Medical Examiner Rockwell in his
testimony said- he had known Zet: for
two or three years and had been treat.
ing him for sores on his legs. He dear

considerably benefitted by the showers
of yesterday afternoon and lasteven-
ing. At the filter, the gauge showed
that 1.43 inches of water fell during
the showers. in 50 minutes the pre-
cipitation was 1.25 inches, or the next
thing to cloudburst volumes. '
From 12 o'clock noon yesterday un-
til 12 o'clock noon today. the water
in the reservoir was raised from twen-
ty-seven and one-half inches below the
high level to twenty-four and ouocuarv
,ter inches—a gain in the threat -four
hours of three and. one-quarter i ches.
The water commissioners of the City
of Norwalk are unable to ascertain as
yet what effect the rain of yeslcqioy
bid upon the city reservoirs. It is re-
ported that it rained hard for over an
hour in‘the vicinity of the reservoir
and its brooks. d it is roughly esti-
mated that cons derable over a week's
supply was gained. The brooks are
still pouring water Into the reservoirs
and it is difficult to estimate how
much more will come in. .
By tomorrow morning the measure
ments will be taken and will. be pub-
lished. if the city can get rain at
short'intervals, it may not have to can
uect with South Norwalk's water sys-
tem.

blew out. he laborers on the car at
the time were scared out of about a
year’s growth by the incident. as were
other people who happened to be near.
A flame shot out about thnee feet in
length, and it looked as though it was
going to envelop the car and set it
afire. but this did not happen. how-
ever,.and when the flame stopped and
the great cloud of smoke gleared away.
the car was drifted back to the barn.

ternoon played havoc with the trolley

And now Duriell has a bold, bare fac-

The case is a bit different from most
Black Hand affairs, however. for the
chief artist and his alleged accomplice

a comparatively easy matter for the
Darleil constables to bring them to

on the chief conspirator. He has

“But I haven't got any money,"

"How can i when i haven't a cent?"

Then Autere cuffed the be more.
and finally the lad said Rich (1 Skel-

“Go to him and get it," directed Au-

Mr. Shelton evidently did not suspect

it out, andso valiantly did he and his
assistants work, that the South Nor-
wnlk fire department was not called
out.
Mr. F‘oote, however, did not escape
unscathed from the exciting few min-
utes. He slipped and fell. and today
looks as if he had been in the way of
one of those trees that was uproded
by the storm at Greens Farms, yester-
day._ He received a dig under the
right eye. a large section of cuticle
was scraped from his right cheek. and
his right wrist was sprained. Eli-Chief
Foote is quite satisfied, however. in
that the coal yard was saved from des-
truction.
