The letter in regarded by Chief

note sent by Leopold and Loch. it
is only one of 100 letters received
by Chief Justice Caverly concerning
the Franks case and was sturned ov-

the police believe a number of cranks

concern. It was established in 1:60
by Ebeneser Hill. an uncle of 00nd
greesmsn Hill. and a few associates.
It had then a capital of 8800.000.
A short time' before thip. the
Dwight Company. o. concern from
Springfield. Mann, which manufac-
tured steam pumps. came to this
city for the purpose of getting near
tide water. and adding to its rather
small capital. Ebenener Bill and A.
E. Beard became two oftho largest
stock-holders in the company. The
plant was located on land belonging
to them.
The concern had not been here
long when it was discovered that the
pump which it was melting was rath-
er obsolete. and the Dwight inter-
ests scan retired. Mr. Hill and his
associates took over the plant at. that
time and began the manufacture of
air and gas compressors. The name
was changed to the Norwalk’lron
Works. and Dudley Ely become the
frat president. in about a year. how-
ever .the firm fell into financlll dif—
ficulties and Mr. Ely resigned. Mr.
Hill then reluctantly took the office
of president. but resigned after two
years because of increasingly ,, DOOr
health. Henry 1. Hoyt then became
president for a short time. until Mr.
Hill resumed the office. Mr. Hill was
i ntimc succeeded by his son. Eben.

plant for manyycars. One of the
products of. the plant was called the
Earl punip. This~was an air com-
proact- used for forcing air into min-
es. and was the principal article of
manufacture for many years, al-
though steam engines were ‘also
made. One of these engines was sent
to the Vienna Exposition. which was ‘
held‘ in 1874.
While the concern concentrated on
the manufacture of air compressors.
the business flourished. The machin-
es Were sent‘ all over the country.
Later. however. a number of other
kinds o! machinery were made and
experiments tried in various listen at
considerable expense to the company.
Among the machines made was is
Potter Rotary Offset Press. which
printed pictures in four colors.
In August, 1920. the plant went
under new management, and most of
the old stock holders sold out. Soon
after the rte-organisation of the com-
pany at this time. Ebenezer Hill. Ill.
n‘ot liking the way things were going
resigned his position as president.
He had lost control in the concern by
putting a great deal of stock in an-
other man's. name. This man died
suddenly. and the interests were die
vlded among his relatives or sold to
outside parties who thus got control...
The principle stock holders. after
the re-orgsnlssllon of the company.
were C. L. Thompson. Howard E.
AdL. and John T. Manson. The com-
pany took up the manufacture of
ammonia. refrigerating plants in ad-
dition to the air and gas compres-
sors. and for a. time thrived. The
refrigerating plants were installed
all over the world. But :within the
last two or three years the business
dropped off. and the plant wag run
at a financial loss until it went into
the hands of receivers. and was sold
to a new company.
