Anotbcr death was addcd this morn-

von at ii o'clock and is scheduled to

ordinarily travels at about sixty miles
an hour through East Norwnlk.

years of age and was well known
throughout the town, lnct Ills (loath
near the White Iiridgc, made celc-
brated a. few yours ago by tho l“lllllt
murder. and within a short distance

‘man was not. ground up so badly as
liridge 'l‘cndcr Charles Willianls. two
weeks ago, Ills body was quite badly
mangled, though the features wvrc
left intact. The back of the bond was
crushed in, tho torso almost. scvcrcd
_ and both legs were mangled and broil-
en. It is not bollcvcd that. tllo «load
man could havc had any realization of
pain, so sooil was life extinct.
The train was brought to a quick
standstill and the body was taken to
the South Norwaik west-bound llopot,
where it, was left in (he baggagcroonl

From information gathered by Mod-
Ical Examiner Huntington, it, appeared
that Mr. Smith, who was of a thrifty
turn of mind, had been picking up
seine coal that had fallen from passing
trains, and evidently did not hear the
approach of thc train. For some time
the identity of the dead man was not
known, bllt ho, was lalcr positivcly
identified at the depot by William Dou-

Believed that Man Who Pursued
Prohibition Candidate for Gov-
emor ls Weslem Lawyer
‘ BRIDGEPORT, Dec. 15.-—Sinco the
appearance of W. 0. Marshall, in this
city, and a vehement attack upon the
Prohibition candidate for governor,
there have been developments which
are believed to connect the movement
against the Prohibition nominee with
the attack upon the anti-saloon league
by O. W.-Mabie, of Detroit. ‘
Efforts have been made for some
time past to locate Mr. Marshall, but
his present whereabouts are as mys»
‘terious as his entrance to Connecticut
and his pyrotechnics] campaign in all
automobile throughout the state.
. In 'a speCial dispatch to The Tele-
gram from"Detroit., it is stated that
Mr. Marshall recently had law offices
‘ln‘that city, but had given them up
and disappeared. From other sources,
comes the information that these offl-
ccs were in close proximity to those of
Mr; Mable, who has conducted such
vigorous warfare against the anti-sa-
loon league. In fact, it has been stat-
ed that the two were working in bar-
. mung. If not In actual relationship.

ovcr by the chief of police of Stain~

When the girl disappeared from her
home about five wceks ago, she lock
with her a basket of notions to peddle,
a business she had been carrying on
for a long time. The girl said she
had lost this basket, and was afraid
to go home without the goods and
with no money, for fear of a healing
from her parents. She told Captain
Arnold that she had gone from this
city to Stamford, and ronlained over
night. iii an ltalian lodging house.
Whell she awoke ill the morning all her
goods had been stolen cxccpt a few
packages of needles. She then went
to live with a Mrs. Dickens, in Nore-
ton, and after that lived with Mrs.
Bcllo Clark, at. Long Ridge. She was
finally located by Chief Brennan, of
Stafford, who communicated with the
police of this city.
The girl and her parents did not
agree regarding her care and the ped-
dling business. She declared that she
did not want. to go peddling. but was
forced to because her father and
brothers had been working only three
days a week. She also said she had
not. been clothed properly. The par-
ent: denied that they had urged the
girl to go peddling, ill fact. the father
said he had been against it, and so
had his wife. Some of the people with
whom she had been stopping between
this City and Stamford said that she
had been poorly clad when she had
gone to them.
At any rate, Captain Arnold had a
talk with the mother. Mrs. Neslaw,
and there will not likely be any more
trouble about the child.

Team F resumed its winning gait
last night at the armory, by trimming
the Mctropolltaus 28 to 25. before a
fair sized audience. The visitors had
an allvstar lineup, but it made little
diffcrcnce to the locals. who should
have overwhelmed their opponents
and would have done so, bad it not
been for the poorest sort of luck in

With the Meta last. evening were
