On a Serious Charge.
John Farrell, a watchman employed
at a summer shore house at Stamford
owned by a New York woman, was ar-
rested yesterday charged with at-
tempted murder. ‘ On Saturday, Nehe-
miah Rich, steward of the Stamford
Rod and Gun club, was searching for a
missing boat and thought he had found
it.
Farrell protested that it was his boat,
but Rich started to take it away. Far-
rell promptly emptied the contents of a
shotgun into Rich. The wounds, while
painful, are not dangerous. Farrell
was held in $1,000 for a hearing next
Saturday.

TAKEN T0 NEWARK.

and is Arrested.
___-___———-A
First Apprehended in South Norwalk.
Charles Harris, who has been in the
New Haven county jail since Jan. 5,
where he was committed to await trial
on the charge of having impersonated
a= United States official, was again
taken before United States Commis-
sioner Wright yesterday morning to
answer to a similar charge. The of-
fense for which he was first arrested
was committed in South Norwalk and
he serveda sentence in the Fairfield
connty jail for the same act on the
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses. Harris, it is claimed, pre-
tended to have been government pen.
sion agent and under this guise obtained
money. He was taken before Commis-
sioner Wright on a warrant issued by
the government authorities at Newark,
N. J., where it is alleged he committed
a similar offense. To this charge he
waived examination and was taken to
Newark for trial.
The Newark case is thought by the
government to be a stronger one than
the South Norwalk one.
A Runaway.
This morning as “Tom” Dowd was
driving down Main street with Butcher
Smith’s meat wagon,the horse suddenly
shied and before the driver could get
full control of the lines the wagon was
flashed into a lamppost near Cross
street. The horse by the force of the
collision freed himself from the wagon
and trotted on down the street to the
market where he stopped. Dowd was
thrown over the dash but escaped seri-
ous injury. The shafts of the wagon
were broken, an axle sprung and the
dash suffered a heavy curvature.

Arguments in the Case of
State vs. Mamie Kelly
Heard.
The Accused Found Not Guilty.
The arguments in the case of the
State vs. Mamie Kelly charged With
having been an accessory to the acts of
Katie Flood in getting goods from
stores with Katie Flood as the princi-
pal, were heard in the Town Court this
morning. Attorney Warner appeared
for the accused and Attorney Gregory
for the State.
The Flood woman had prevxously
pleaded guilty and in her testimony
not only implicated Mamie,but also her
mother, Mrs. Margaret Kelly.
The cases have been before his honor,
Judge Hubbell in the Town Court,
since Saturday and a number of wit-
nesses have been examined. Those not
specially interested in the case incline
to the belief that no small amount of
lying has been done.
The Judge after listening to the argu-
ments, rendered a verdict of not guilty
in the Mamie Kelly case. This after-
noon the arguments in the complaint
against Mrs. Kelly will be heard.

Alice Clark Placed Under Ar‘
rest by Officer Thomas‘,
Hunt.
Her Bonds Fixed at $l75.
If Alice Clark was seeking for more no-
toriety than she had before, her search
for the same must have been entirely
satisfactory to her, as yesterday she
got it.
By the foreclosure of a mortgage on
property on Mott avenue of which she
had been the reputed owner, the same
passed out of her hands. In the serv-
ing of the execution papers on such
mortgage claim the officers were sur.
prised to find that property supposed
to be part and parcel of the premises
had been removed and that the walls
had been defaced by some one as if in
a spirit of malice.
As no one but the Clark woman was
known to’have a key to the premises,
which it is claimed she had previously
refused to give up, suspicion reverted
to her as the one who had performed
the mischief of defacing the walls and
taking the property consisting of
plumbing parts and gas fixtures. ‘
At the instigation of Alfred E. Austin
who is financially interested in the
preperty. a warrant was sworn out
against Alice Clark, she being charged
with malicious injury to the house in
questibn. The writ was handed to ofli-
cer, Hunt who learning that the woman .
wanted was in towo, apprehended and
placed her under arrest yesterday after-
noon.
She was taken to police head-
quarters where she stoutly denied the.
charges made against her. Shortly
after, she was placed under $175 bonds
for athearing in the Town cOurt this
afternoon. A. Bach of South Norwalk
became surety in that amount and she
was released.
It is the same Alice who has a $3,000
suit pending in the Superior court
against Commodore Francis Burritt of
South Norwalk.
g This afternoon the hearing in the
case was adjourned until Saturday
afternoon at 2 o’clock.
