Bell is a little colored woman, about four feet tall but it was brought out in downtown city court this morn- Ins that Clara was full of light and that when she was invited out in the back yard inal- nlsht by Robert Smith who is about six feet tall and weighs in the neighborhood of 200 pounds, sho accepted the invitation. and went out in the rear yard of the boarding house conducted by Mary Jones a wid- ow. on Water street, but Clara went armed with a large butcher knife. The argument. started. when Clara became excited when one of her cure tomers for whom she had done some washing did not pay her enough... She was discussing the matter in a bested manner with Mrs. Jones when Smith who was in the room. spoke up and stated that she should -try and curb her temper. and hearing this Clars become more excited. Upon seeing this Smith left the house and stated that he was going to bed, 'and went out into the back yard. While he was leaning over a. sink in the yard. Clara came out of the rear door and started to clean up. During the struggle that followed Smith tried to take the knife ou of Clara's hand and in so doing cut his thumb and forefinger. He also struck Clara. and she fell against the sink. cutting her head open. After Smith landed the blow. he left the scene and started up Eliza- beth street. Clara. followed. him for some distance. She then went and found Patrolman Reynolds and enter- ed a complaint against Smith. Patrol- man Reynolds located Smith in Paynes lunch cart on Washingto‘n street~ and placed both he and} Mrs. Bell under arrest. Judge Vosburgh in handing down the sentence this morning stated. that he thought the woman was the worst offender in the case. he then senten- ced Clara Bell to 30 days in Bridge- port jail with costs. Smith was fined :15 and costs on a lesser charge of assault. Thus endth the tale. LADIE’~ NIGHT AT. EAGLES’ HOME "Ladles' Night" was appropriately held last night by Norwsllf Aerie. No. 588, 1". 0.

It was pro Nagy was that he had been mentally unbalanced for some time and that. the Probate court had de~ clared that he was unable to manage :his own affairs and that I. conserva- tor had been appointed over him.

The husband had found Mega and his wife on several occasions in compromising positions. upon unex- pected visits to his home. and Moss had written him a letter in whlch he tried to place the blame on Mrs. Nagy. This thing‘ worked on Nagy‘s mind and after a "While he became mentally unba‘lanced. and after a. verbal battle with his wife. purchased s. revolver and returning home shot his wife. He fired a. bullet into his head in a suicidal attempt. It was unsuccessful, however. the bullet putting into sev- eral pieces ‘and led ng in his head. It was this fact coupled- with the strain that he was under that made him a raving maniac. His belief was that Mega was pursuing him in an attempt to do him bodily harm. An operation was performed at the prison hospital and the pieces of the bullet were removed and since that time Nagy has improved both in health- and mentally to such an extent that he was recently released from the hos- pital at Mlddl‘etéwn.
