I ' . _ Why Stranpsrs Are Here. .Why the city ofllcials have had two strangers In town the past for. even- ings dolag detective work became known today. it appears that the charge has been frequently made that street demon- strations such have occurred a few times during the present strike. would ave the effect of frightening off any manufacturers who might be Intending to locate in this city. and consequently the officials have had these men for , the two laid purpose of protecting the omplcyccs of the Crofut and Knapp Company and of guarding against any claim that manuf turers hero face the likelihood of aving the whole populace turn out whenever ,any labor troubles develop. Not alone have the ofilclsls had these two strangers at work. it was learned today from an authoritative source. but. in addition. have had lo- cal people getting th'e names of people on the streets when these little demon- strations have gakcn place. The object . is to put thcm'flina position. should oc- casion requ -‘to get'out an Injunc- tion prevent rig every person whose name nwnssn secured. from appear- ing sails in the assemblage. l . stated today that the molt of this work has been the securing of that name of practically every person who has been on the streets, from the Crofut and Knapp factory right up thtrwgh the business section of the c y. In view. however. of the way' In which the whole situation has been qul down, it Is not expected that In to elicit will be resorted to unless the city cmolals are complained to concerning the small number of people who gre now along the line. The city officials. one official said today. intend to demonstrate that this city protects everybody alike and that the protection ls equal to any place. it has been quite extensively report- ed that a manufacturer who came here recently to locate, was frightened off on account of being at the South Nor- walk depot when two batters were 1'3""an to take a train home to Dan- ury.

Prosecutor Wil- liam F. Mmany will file his brief tomorrow afternoon. ‘ A city official not connected with the town court said this morning that there is no disposition on the part of the city to press these cases. the de- sire slmply being to preclude the like- hood of any more gatherings. Greetings From Orange. John W. Sculley addressed a gath- ering of 600 trimmers at Orange. N. J.. yesterday. By a vote of the whole assemblage. Mr. Sculley was directed to take home to the South Norwaik trimmers the greetings of the Orange trimmers. and an expression of the latter‘s determination to stick by their associates. it was moved “that we do not go back into the factories until the men and the label back." On a rising vote every trim for to attend once was up in quick time. Attendance Again Dwindies. There was practically nothing for the police to do last evening at clos~ his time about the Crofut a Knapp fac- tory vicinity. Along the way from the factory to the center of the city there were perhaps'bwantydive or thin ty people. Chief of Palms Vollmer walked along or the way with Edward Barrett and Patrick Ii. Rough. 0h previous occasions Mr. Barrett and Mr. Haugh have kept company up through North Main street. but last evening Mr. Barrett went by way of Washington street to his home in Falrdeld avenue, and Mr. Haugh con- tinued up North Main street. So far as the police could see there was ab- solutely no attempt at an escort. Strangers Still Here. Two strange men. supposed to be any ofi'snoe be offs Messrs.

There is apparently no reason for any change today In the hopefulnoss that has brightened the batting situs~ tion since Monday. and the statement was made this afternoon by the Rev. John D. Dennsdy, who is closely in touch with both sides. that progress was being made toward the proposed conference, which, it Is hoped, will be theilrst step towards peace. Father Kennedy said that the time had not yet come to make public anything more In relation to the matter than the information that had been contained in the brief announcements of the last two or three days. all of which have held out hobo that there would be A conference of committees from the manufacturers and the United Hatters within a short time. No formal statements were issued today by either slde.~nnd ofiicers of both the trade Organizations and the Manufacturers' Association said that there was nothing to be said in rela- tion to the situation. P. H.

DEFEND! MAY END TODAY. Dr. Manson, Allsntst. Gives Testimony In Maine Case. FLUSHINOH. N. Y.. May 6~The ex- amination of expert witnesses for the defence was expected to be concluded today in the trial of Capt. Peter C. Halos. .lr., for the killing of WIUlam E. Annls. District Attorney DeWitt was prepared to begin the examination of witnesses in rcbutal if necessary late today. At the opening of court today the district attorney resumed his cross- ex- amination of Dr. is_ S. Manson. the first ailenlst who testified yesterday for the defence that Capt. Hains was suffering from manic depression in- sanity at the time of the killing of Annis. Dr. Manson was asked by Mr. DeWItt if any form of mental disease would be called insanity. Tho physic- Ian thought It would. District Attorney DeWItt declared that he was submitting Dr. Manson to such a lengthy cross-examination be- cause he did not consider Dr. Manson had qualified as an expert. He said he would concede that Drs. Clark and Brush. the other allenlsts for the de- fence. were qualified experts and his cross-examination of them would con- sequently be much shorter. The district attorney asked Dr. Man- son If a man suffering from manic de- pressive insanity would be able at all times to plan and carry out his acts. The witness said he would, during periods of quiescence. and at such time would have a tolerably clear com- prehension of his surroundings. "When Capt. Hains stood on the yacht club float at Bay Side with fold- ed arms looking out over the water, and then grabbed the boom of Aunls' boat and shot Annie to death. what kind of insanity was he sudcring from at that time?"'asked Mr. Dertt. “With impulsive Insanity." was the reply. Dr. Manson said the defendant would be able to recognise-the face of Annis while suffering from manic depressive lnunlty. "Would he be able to distinguish the difference between right and wrong?" asked Mr. DoWItt. - "He might and he might not." was the answer. “Were the defendant's mental func- . tions in operation .up to the time of the shooting?" asked the district at- torney. . "Yes." Dr. Manaop replied. 1‘ M AMMONIA TANK EXPLODES. BRIDGEPORT.
