Found Dead I'm the Woods.

A HEBREW ABOUT TO BE DIVORCED DISC0v-
Erred WITH HIS THROAT CUT.
A Norwich Conn. telegram says: Coun-
ty-COroner A. f. Park was summoned at 0
O'Clock this evening to Oakdale, manu-
featuring village, midway between here
and New London, on the west bank Of
the Thames, 10 investigate the reported
murder OF Moses Sadock, a Russian jew,
aged twenty-four, who, the telephone said,
was found in piece OF woods by brook,
lying on his back, with tish-pole across
him, and his throat cut from ear TO ear.
He was quite dead when found. This Is
all the detail OF the killing that can be OBJ
talned at this late hour. Sadock has been
at Oakdale about year, employed in Pal
mer Brothers feather factory, and was an
esteemed operative. He came from Lom-
kOn, in Russia. He was smart-appearng
young man, and was well liked in the viii
lage. About four months since he went to
New York, where he wooed and welded
Mary PetreekOwsky, Jewess, handsome
girl only fifteen years OF age. The young
couple returned TO Oakdale and have since
lived In happiness until two weeks or more
ago, when the girl-wife discovered letters
III her husbands effects purpOrting to come
from another wife, and dated at LOmkon.
The missives were full Of love, spoke OF
Sadock As the writer's husband. and
abounded with talk regarding his future
prospects. The girl-bride charged her
youthful husband with being an adulterer.
Amid a storm of tears and SObs he denied
that the letters were from any former wife,
said he never was married before, and de-
lied her 10 prove her charge against him.
There was 4 stormy scene, quarrel after
quarrel followed, the result OF which was
that Mrs. Sadock No. called upon Judge
William IL. Shields, of this city, for adj
vice, and he visited the unhappy couple
yesterday.
The girl absolutely refused to live long
er with her alleged faitbless husband, and
Judge Shields cOunselled her to institute
divorce proceedings. Sadock appeared
cool and unconcerned about the whole
matter. He denied everything and said he
would agree TO any arrangement she wished
10 make. Judge Shields lat once had papers
served upon him claiming an absolute di-
yorce by his wife, and Il was further agreed
that the twain should repair this morning
TO the Jewish rabbi at New London TO pro-
cure, In addition, divorce in accordance
with the requirements OF their religious be-
lief. She was then TO go to New York
to begin life over again. This MORN
Ing she made ready for the journey. when
all at once sadock was found TO be missing.
She waited hour after bour for him, and at
length search was instituted. As the
hours passed an alarm was sent out. and
soon several hundred mill hands and farm
ers were beating the brush in search for
him. Every section OF the country was
gone over unsuecessfuily until about 2
O'Clock this evening, when barefoot boy
came near stumbling over Sadock's corpse.
The village tonight Is wild with excite
ment, and the cry OF murder is general.
Judge Shields thought II probable that
Sadock killed himself through grief at the
turn affairs had taken, although he did not
net yesterday ms though he contemplated
suicide. oakdale Is fourteen miles from
Norwich.
