FOR HIS LIFE.
Young Sidney’ s Fate to be De-
cided by a Jury Soon.
Frank Leonard of Norwalk Selected as
One of the Jurors.
\V illiam E, Sidney, the alleged
Greenwich murderer, was put on trial
for his life before Judge Milton A.
Shumway ands jury in the criminal
supe1ior cou1t yesterday. Sidney isa
young man but 24 years of age. He is
charged with the killing of Edward
.. Long at Greenwich on the night of
June 6. Long was shot through the
head, the result of a quarrel over the
affections of a low woman, known to
the authorities as f‘Nellie.” Her real
identity has never been disclosed.
Sidney was one of a gang- of 12, who
had been in the company of the woman
on that night. He denies the charge
against him and says he is, confident of
an acquittal. He claims he should
have been released some time ago but
for the action of the state. He is sat-
isfied to have his case fairly presented
to the jury and feels sure that he will
be released.
The jurors who will t1 v the case aie

Before the jury, was completed a
number of jurors Were, examined. Hi-
, rams. Brownmof, South Norwalk was
excused by his own request on account
of ill health.
Stephen S. Hatch of South Norwalk
had no prejudice against the death
penalty, but he was strongly opposed to
circumstantial evidence and would not
convi‘bt a man on it. He was the first
man excused by the court.
William T. Raymond, also of South
N orwalk, answered all questions accept-
ably. He new nothing of the case. He
read the New 'York Tribune and the
Norwalk papers.
' ‘.‘Do you kniiw Mr. Fessenden?”. ask-
ed Mr. Lynch.
“0, well, if you are going to make
that a bar it would knock out the whole

About Completed.
Contractors'..Cain 81. Kinnear have
about completed their contract of re—
paving Wall street. All of the brick
have been laid and the finishing
touches will probably be given to-day.
The widening of the bridge “still
hangs fire” and thetentire work of im-
provement intended will probably not
be completed before spring.
The, selectmen, however, have under
advisement an offer from the Berlin
Iron Bridge Co., to construct an annex
to the present bridge, but as the town
meeting voted that a stone arch addi-
tion be constructed, it is not believed
that they will take any action in the
matter. ' '51 . l

' Sherwood—Newkirk Concert.
Seldom has such an audience gather-
ed. in Norwalk as that which filled
Lockwood’s Hall last evening. It was
composed of music loving people and
admirers of Mrs. Newkirk and Miss
Sherwood from neighboring towus as
well as from our own city. From the
beginning to the end of the delightful-
ly rendered programme the audience
manifested its appreciation and warmth
by repeath applause.
Mrs. Newkirk and Miss Sherwood
were in splendid voice and won merited
applause, to which they gracefully 11e-
sponded. Mrs. Richard Arnold, pian-
ist, and Mr. Richard Arnold, violin
virtuoso, are artists ofa high order and
delighted, their hearers. Mr. George
Leon Moore’s pure tenor and Mr. Miles
7‘
. R. Bracewell’s rare bass voice elic1ted
great applause.
The last number on the programme
was a fitting finale to the evening’s en-
joyment, and we venture to say that
should these talented sisters. give an-
other concert in the ‘w'near future they
would meet with a like response from
their hosts of friends.
