ILLEGAL HUNTING ‘ For a number of years past it has been the practice 'of certain individ- als to sttirt the hunting season ahead 0 stime, and usually on Sunday. com-2 plaints have reached County Game .Warden Wilbur F. Smith, from time to time, and last week he decided to take cognizance of one or two from the up- per end of the county. He detailed Deputy Wardens Wilkins and Bratton, of Danbury, to go to New Fairileld, and cooperate on Sunday with Deputy Fos- ter, of New Fairfield. The wardens started out about 5 o’clock in the morning, and soon heard shooting in‘ the woods. They followed the direc- tion of the sound, and came upon a party of three Italians, eachone hav- ing a gun, and one man had a par- SUP—[lllllllllflllll lulianVonkuozkowski, Associated With Richard Muller, Shoots Sell in Heart 1111111111 11111 I, 11111 11 1111 Niece Who Lived in House Dls-_ covered the Body .Julian von Knczkowski, superintend‘ this month“. by Shootlpg Muesli in the head with a revolver The actor" done in his home, which is situated on the mill property, on Perry avenue” and the deed occurred at mm o '.clock The suicide's niece, Miss Ottlie Sat- tler, who “1 ed with him, heard the re- port of the revolver and rushing to Von Kuczkowskl's room, tound her uncle lying dead in bed 111 a pool 0! blood. He had used s .38 calibre re volver and had sent the bullet through his temple with the result that death was instantaneous. Miss Sattler rushed from the house and called upon her neighbors. who in turn sent for Medical Examiner 8. H. Huntington; 'He investigated into the circumstances and rendered a verdict of suicide by shooting. The dead man’s friends and business associates, when questioned, this morn- ing, by The Sentinel as to the probe.- ble cause for the rash act, were all at a loss to assign a reason. Last night, it was learned, Von Kuczkowsltl bid good night to the officials of the fac. tory in the usual manner, and they did not notice anything out of the ordinary about him. He did not seem to be de- pressed in any way. About two years ago the dead man lost his wife and her death produced a profound and mark- ed efi'ect upon him. He mourned her loss very deeply, but never had he evi- denced any actions which would make his friends think he contemplated sul- cide, The deduction arrived at this morning when his deed had become known, seemed to indicate that he become temporarily unbalanced, and this hasty and fatal act was the re- sult. . Von Kuczkowskl was a man of com- manding appearance. He was about triage. The trio was placed under ar- rest, and before Justice Connelly, yes- terday, were found guilty of hunting on Sunday. hunting without a license and huntingln the closed season. The fines and costs imposed amounted to $130.19, and it is not likely the men will hunt again until the law says they can. . ~—I have it You want it. I'll sell it. “That Million Dollar Look."
