 We were so unfortunate as to wind up our Wolcottville items, last week, with the astounding announcement that Deacon Roberts had been sent to jail for 30 days for drunkenness. Of course it was an ab- surd mistake, growing out of a. transpo- sition of names. The real criminal was some one else. We prefer not to say who for fear we should get the wrong Wolcott- william in limbo once more. We wish to be very safe and very fair in this matter. The current newspaper style of retraction is about this The Sun, for instance, re- marks some Wednesday that 'sThe Hon. s. W. K-gg failed to vote against the new Salary bill and then went out and hung himself!" On Thursday the Sun regrets to find that it's statement was 'prema- turer' e-a ye3 zaiai.fo .a --.
 Another Wolcottville announcement oi ours in portion of last weeks edition may perhaps turn out case of 'sprema- turity." We published notice of the marriage of Mir. = to Miss A C., Esq. It isn't at all improbable that we shall have woman suffrage here in Connecticut and then no doubt Mrs. B -- will be chosen 8 justice of the peace and then our 'Esq." will be real bit of prophecy; ;but in the deacon's ease there is no hope for us.

he answered in q detected manner, "For
murder, | suppose don't know anything
about It," He was quite communicative,
and went on to say that on the night of the
4th inst, he had visited the 81 ooklyn
theatre with his wife, together with Wes-
ton and his wife According to Lowen-
stein, Mr.. and Mrs Weston did not live
happily together, and when he (tbe pris-
oner) kissed his wife, Mrs. Weston re-
preached her husband for his GOODNESS to-
ward her. On the day of the murder Lowen-
stein, according to his story intended to
take the early train for Philadelphia, where
his father lives. He missed it and took the
noon train, going straight to Philadelphia,
where his father gave him 5000. His wife,
he said, did not know he had any money,
but this was the way he obtained it. He
went back to Brooklyn and purchased u
barber shop for 5000, paying $3.50 down.
This was on Friday, the 9Th inst. He
found the investment an Improbable one,
nasmuch as he had to pay two Jour-
neymen $14 per week cach and also pay
off the balance on his shop. He had not
told his wife of this arrangement Mt first,
nor the fact that he possessed money
which he placed in his fathers hands long
before their marriage. His wife. when she
knew of his purchase, counseled him to
give up the shop, as he could get more by
following his trade as journeyman. He
became sick of his bargain, and afraid of
getting into trouble, so he left the shop
and made up his mind to come west and
seek work He arrived in st. GATHERINGS
on Thursday last and got position as jour-
neymcn with Mr.. Kiddow being arrested on
Monday as stated above. He intended to
send for his wife as soon as possible, and
had already written to her.
Lowenstein denies all knowledge of the
murder Of Weston, and claimed to have
been at his fathers in Philadelphia when it
occurred. But the statement appears rath-
er incredible, when the matter is duly con-
sidered. One strong point against him is,
thatdrectly aftcrthe murder was found out,
he offered to sell the barber shop back to
its former owner for 500. The detectives
who made the arrest found among his bag
gage a pair of slceve-buttons which are
positively said to be Weston's. These cir
cumstances tend to make his explanation
of the way in which he obtained the 5000,
just the amount Weston was robbed of
rather doubtful one. Another fact is
that the officers assert Lowenstein cannot
possibly prove that he was in Philadelphia
on the day of the murder
We have given the substance of the pris-
oners story, just as he related it to our re-
porter in his broken English, and without
any prejudice against him. Those who arc
familiar with the circumstances of the
murder may best judge what it is worth.
