The tragedy recently committed in the northern part of New Canaan, re- sulting in the death of Mrs. Susan Anderson, recalls a murder that occur- red in the same neighborhood more than fifty years ago, says the Stamford Advocate. At that time Samuel Mon- roe lived near the place where Mrs. Anderson was killed. He was a. quiet man when sober, having but little in- tercourse with anyone outside of his OWJ limited circle. He was addicted to the use of strong drink and was fre- quently under itsinfiuence. One bright day in the fall of 1848 Monroe disap- peared. He left his home in the morn- ing and did not return. Two days later searching parties Were formed, and for a week the fields and woods were scoured in vain. The only house for miles about stood in a lonely part of the East Woods, and was said at the time to be occupied by lawless characters, who were a dread to the honest people of New Canaan. It was suspected that Monroe had been killed by the occupants of the hut. It was also rumored that his body had been buried in the cellar, but no one possessed the courage to investigate; superstitious acquaintances,consulted a four- —year-old clairvoyant living in a neighboring town. As a revealer of the future an un- veile1 of the past this boy was said to be a wonder. ' He had a manager who knew his way about without the aid of a chaperon, and who had heard all the rumors concerning the missing Monroe. When the delegatiOn waited on the ju- venile astrologer and stated the object of their visit, he kindly went into a trance, and, having been posted by his manager, he told them a wonderful story of Monrbe and his actions after leaving his home The country folks were so astonished at the boy’s alleged revelation that they engaged him to try to follow the course Monroe had taken. T 1e following day the young astrologer kept up his“bluff” and led a crowd of 300 persons over the hills for several hours trying to find the place where Monroe was alleged to be buried. He continued the search for two more days. At every pile of leaves or brush he stopped, saying, lie, ” and again he started off a gain on a run for half a mile, to stop at another bush, prod the ground with a sharp- ened stick, and exclaim, “ They have moved it again.” Thus the hunt went on and on, until the wearied multi- tude was warned by coming darkness that it was time to disperse._ The clair voyant was finally forced to admit de— feat, and was discharged in disgrace. The search for Monroe was never 11e- sumed. Excitement growing out of the tragedy died out soon after the clair- voyant fiasco. The inmates of the sus- pected house were driven from their miserable abode, and for a long time thereafter the good people of that neighborhood enjoyed a period of rest. Monroe’s body was discavered early in the following spring, a long distance from the piths covered by the search- ing party. It was mutilated almost be- yond recognition. The immediate cause of death, however, was shrouded in mystery, and remains so to this day. ———————-¢m>— Dr. Nancy’s Quiet Day. - Dr. Nancy Guilford passed a quiet day in thecounty jail, yesterday.
