How Sir William Hankiord Or-j
dared Game Keeper to
Shoot Him
Those who commit. suicide often
adopt ingenious methods, but the art
ol’ the felo de se seems not to have
advanced materially during the con.
turies. The modern spec of a houvi-
ly insured broker who on a reigned
hunting trip ‘ stood barcleggt-d in a
quagmire for hours and wilfuly con-
in cleverness by one 500 years old
T he following facts are well vouched
for and indeed were never questioned. I
Sir William Hankford, a Judge of thei
king' 5 bench in the reigns of Edward:
ill, Henry JV, Henry V and Henry Vi,
and at the time. of his death chief lots 3
tlce of England, was a man of melan-
choly temperament :
lie seems to have contemplated sul ,
ride the greater purt of his long llfoi
and during his later years the idea hc-‘i
came it fixed purpose. The act was oil
peculiarly serious consequence lnE
those days for the reason that tho lawf
, treated it as a capital crime. The 00
' fender was buried at the cross roads.3
with a stake driven through his body.?
and all his goods and property wore;
forfeited to the crown, to the utter}
ruin of his family. :
flanki‘ord made good use of his wits;
and succeeded in. accomplishing his;
purponc without. incurring either un~3
picusnnt penalty. He gave open inl
structions to his gamekeeper, who had}
been troubled with poachers in the]
passcrs in the future and to shoot to
kill it they would not stand and give”
an account.
One dark night he purposely crossed
the keeper’s path and upon challenge
made motions of resistance and es-
cape. The faithful servant, falling to
recognize his master. followed instruc
tions to the letter, as was expected of
him, and Sir William fell dead 'in his
tracks. The whole truth of the affair
was common knowledge, but it was
impossible to establish a. case of sui
side by legal proof. The servant was

tats passed to those whose interests as

Connecticut Has Been-
Dead Loss
That the experiments with Hungar—
ian partridge in this country and par-
ticularly New England have been a‘
total failure so for as the various gun
clubs and protective organizations are
concerned. is now acknowledged by
Game Warden David Walker. of Wu—
terbury, one or the fdrelnost experts
on game preservation in the State.
hir. Walker makes trips to various
parts of the state frequently on oili-
ciai business and is in a position to
watch results carefully.
Probably $40,000 has been expended
in importing these Hungarian part-
ridges to this country for purposes of
propagation. and it would now appear
as if the money has been a. total loss:
Of this amount. strange to say, Con-
necticut has expended nearly $25,000.
The Waterbury gun club alone wast-
ed over 8400 on these birds in one sea»
son.
There is a mystery attached to this
singular condition and as yet no one
has been able. to solve it. The iriun‘
gal-inn partridge are hardy birds, ac-
customed to seven-r winters and lots
of snow, yet they do not seem to be
able to get acclimated. They migrate.

comes on, if it is their first time in
New England, these imported birds

Game Warden Walker have spent days
in searching covers and various ren-
desvaus where these birds wero plant
ed. for the one purpose of trncing
them. Not even an evidence re.
tnsincd to indicate that they had
raised broods during the nesting son-
son.
Only one instance has been recorded
wherein a bird of the imported line
was brought in bv n gunner and think
was by a foreigner who thought it on;
American partridge. Of course the
law against shooting or snoring Hun
