Testimony Before Coroner
Conflicts With 8 t o r y
Fairficld Constable Told
Last Week.
Constable Arthur J. Bennett. of
Fairlieid. was accused of having
carried a. revolver openly in his
hand and with having tired shots
when he took part in a surprise
sally on a group of “crops" players
clustered about the steps of the
Nathan Hale school building in
Falrfleid. on April 24 by men who
testified before Coroner 'John J.
Phelsn. Monday and who took
part in the dice game that ended in
the tragic death of Henry Fischer.
20. of Maplewood avenue. Bridge-
port.
Under oath. last Monday. Con-
stable Bennett sworo before Coroner
Phelan that his revolver remained
untouched in his coat. pocket and he
declared with emphasis that he did
not fire a shot.
“Ridiculous and unreasonable."
he said of the condomnatory testi-
mony offered by the players. When
he was asked point blank, as he
was several times during the hear-‘
ing. if he did take out his revolver
and if he did fire shots from it. he
said he “did not remember" having
done so. and that he did not "to his
best knowledge and belief."
Coroner Phcian told him he was
not satisfied with the qualifying
phrases and insisted that he knew
if he had acted as charged. or if
he had not. Constable Bennett
made the final assertion that “I
have nothing to change in my testi-
mony."
The coroner was shown a bullet
found by a boy imbedded in the
earth near where the “crops" game
was held. About 2.500 feet away.
on Falrlleld avenue. another boy
found the metal cartridge shell
from which the bullet had been dis-
charged.
No mention was made as to
whether the claim will he put forth
that the bullet discovered is the one
that killed Fischer. The condition
of it, or if its shape indicates that
it had passed through a human
body, was not mentioned.
Joseph Solotsky, a truck driver.
of 101 State street extension. was so
close to Fischer when he toppled
over mortally wounded that he fell
with him. the dying man grasping
hold of his arm as he crumpled to
the ground.
Before the two tumbled. however.
Sofotsky told the coroner that he
saw Constable Bennett appear at
the corner of the school house and
while there fire off his revolver.
Bennett. he said. fired a. second shot
when he got close to the school
house steps where the men were
playing "craps."
When he got up from the ground
alongside the dead youth. Sofotsky
declared he came face to face With
Constable Bennett. He ran quickly
away, and bumped into Constable
George Larson. Those two officers
he eluded. only to fall into a deep
water hoio in the nearby swamp. He
got out of there. however. and ran
home for a complete change of dry
clothes.

The chief executive's strong pre-

it was said that he did not take
kindly to an article by an American

The article among other things de-
scribed the President at a "flier

Open Air Art Exhibit
Proves Very Successful
PARIS.-—-Artlst and critic met on
own terms in the annual "Daub
Fair" 'of the Boulevard st. Michel.
which this year turned out to be
unusually successful for the Mont-
pariiassian painters who exhibited in
this open airaalon.
Pipe in mouth, artists stood by
their paintings. eager to discuss art
in its deepest phases with the in-
ltihtcd and ready to explain to those
who sought knowledge. some of
the pidtures brought good sums.
The "Daub Fair" is one of the
best known of the sidewalk salons
of Paris. and this year was heavily
patronized by American tourists ap-
preciativo of art but not caring to
pay the higher prices charged in the
more pretentious showings.
