The committee appointed by Ms.-
yor Thomas Robins. to investigate
the matter of laying a water main
from the harbor through Washing-
ton street. to the railroad bridge,
(through which" water from the hur-
bor will be pumped by the tire
pumpcr in case of fire in the down-

are investigating how the plan has
worked out in other cities.

The system is used in Hartford
and data. relative to the cost and the
the advisability of installing the
system in the Second district will
be obtained from that city.

It is thought by the committee
that it is not necessary to install
thitsystenl in Wall street. in the
First district. as the river runs
through the business section and all
that will be necessary in case of tire
there would be to drop a line of
hcso over the bridge into the water.

Murder Case,” Avers
De Forest

BRIDGEPORT. Feb. 25.——Public
Defender Robert G. DcForcnt, who
is counsel for Harold _F. Isml. 23
year old ex-soldicr charged with the
slaying of Father Hubert Dahm’e on
Main street on February 4. said you-
terday that he considered no conclu-
sive evidence had been brought for-
ward by the police to Justify their
accusation that. Israel was the
priest’s slayer.

Referring to the testimony of
Captain Charles Van Amburgh made
at the hearing into the death of the
priest concluded on Saturday by
Coroner John J. Phelan. Attorney
DeForcst said:

"The statement of Van Amburgh
that the bullet taken from the brain
of the priest was fired from Israel’s
gun proves nothing. As far as I
could see there was very little left
of the bullet and it had been flatten-
ed out compfctcly so how the mark-
ing of a gun could be drawn from it
I do not‘know."

Attorney Dcli‘orcst said that there
had been several cases where ex-
perts had given similar testimony to
‘that of Van Amburgh on Saturday
and that when produced in court
it had béen excluded from the rec-
ord. In those cases it had been
held thfi it was impossible for ex-
ports to state definitely that certain
bullets travelled through certain
guns. DeForest said that it would
be easy i‘or‘mnrkings to be repro-
duced on bullets which looked sim-
llar to those of the gun, but which
had no relation to it.

“The public has only heard one
side of this case so far." Attorney
DeForest said. "lsraei had not been
put on the stand as it is not cus-
tomary. nor have we given any evi-
dence whatsoever. I an going
ahead checking up on the evidence
and ‘sesrchlng for more which will

 

 

 

 

bg used if 'the case ever comes to
trial."

Captain Von Amburgh who
continuing an examination of the

bullet takén from the priest's head
refused to make any statement yes-
terday. Asked if his examination
was yet completed he said:

"I have nothing to say. Don't
misquote me."
Coroner Phclan will Publish his

finding in the murder case during
the week.

GYPSYSMI'IH

 

Large Audience at
NorWalk M. E.
Church

Large audiences greeted ’Gypsy
Simon Smith at both the morning
and evening services in the _Nor-
walk Methodist Episcopal church
yesterday. The Gypsy completely
captivated his hearers at the very
beginning of each service and held
their closest attention We end of
the hour.

In the morning he spoke on “How
the wildmen were tamed." Ho
based his talk on the Gospel story
of the healing of the demented Gar;
darene. His points were all cm-
phasized and illustrated with many
incidents from his own experience.
He said that he wanted people“ to
be real optimists. From his ex-
periences ho moweddhat the un-
expected is always happening. and
that most extraordinary events oc-
cur in the most ordinary places.
The Gypsy has a rich clear; voice.
I. very pleasin personality, a win-
ning smile. a con subtle sense of
humor.

 

versation," again illustrating from
his own rich and varied experiences
Rte point of his subject.
He stated at least one article of
his creed last night in these words:
"There is as much religion in
laughter as in tears."
The audience entered at once into
practicing that part of the creed.
In speaking of evangelism he said:
“I do not understand it to mean
the performance of circus stunts
and acrobatic feats: but it is the
lifting up of the nillcn. the healing
of the hurt. and speaking courage
to the l‘srt of the dcmondent.
“Conversation is one of the most
real things- in the world." sold the
speaker. “Yet it is a mystery.
You use the wind. electricity and
it yet you uncut-explain where
things come from; Jesus
said. ‘You cannot tell where the
wind comes from. or where it goes
to. no more eat? you explain the
mystery of niw birth. yet both are
real!”

The speaker continued. "You
might as well try to run an automo-
bile without gas as to have a revival
without prayer or the Holy Spirt.
More depends upon what people
want than upon what the evangel-
ist wants them to have."

His solos at both services were
well and most effectively sung. Two
of them were of his own writing.
Services every night except Satur-
day. at 7:45.

Tracey. There have been accidents
at the crossing. Something should
be done about it immediately. I
think that a. bridge is a practical
