Mysteries of Crime in Connecticut.

From Hartford PaperJ
Connecticut is maintaining it's reputa-
ton as a state where terrible crimes
against the person stand very good
chance of going UNPUBLISHED and the
perpetrators undetected. The Hayden
and Jennie Cramer cases are not for
gotten. Nor the brutal double murder
at Avon three or four years ago. With
in the past month there have been half
a dozen cases of mysterious
deaths and assaults and, in
the case of the former, with the suspi-
cions of foul play. The terrible assault
on DIR. link, of Branford, is as much of
mystery now as it was month ago.
There is no explanation of the death of
the hunter Frank Cook, in Morris last
week There were indications of a
struggle, and on searching his hut no
traces could be found of money he was
known to have boarded. Every cent
was gone. In Birmingham, the other
night, Michael J. Ryan was found dead
under low rail fence, with broken
neck and a bad bruise on the face. Mr..
Ryan was man of steady habits and
must have known every inch of the
road between his house and Birming-
ham, so that the theory that he fell off
the walk and broke his neck is ride
ulous. He was the father-in-law of
Hayes, for whose murder "Chip" Smith

Some time ago I CHANGED in CONVEX

practiced during the civil war by few
ladies in Philadelphia who were in Ethe
habit of sending food and clothing to
the Southern prisoners at Fort Della
ware. Those were days when the most
simple necessaries of life had risen to
an enormous value, and the shoes,
stockings and fannels, to say nothing
of tobacco, pickles and jellies, all cost
more than it was pleasant to contem-
plate. Thanks to the unfailing courtesy
and kindness of the Federal officers,
these offerings, though sent by Southern
sympatnizers, were always safely delv-
cred to the sick and wounded prison
ers, who watched for them with CRATE

trouble and cost Speaking of these
things, lady who had listened with

gang of roughs know all about the old
man Ryan's death, although the med
1cal examiner has decided that it was
accidental: The mutilated body of q
man was found at noon Wednesday in
the Naugatuck River under the rail
road bridge at Torrington. How he
came in the river is deep mystery,
for he had not the appearance of dis
sipated man. He looks like q laborer.
The bruises on his body may have been
made by the falling, but they arouse q
serious question in the minds of many.
The medical examiner thinks he NAV
have been knocked off the bridge by q
train. The deceased is John Burns of
Winsted, who went down to Torrinp-
ton Tuesday night to attend the CIeve-
land celebration. Nothing was found
in his pockets but several large plugs of
tobacco.

President CIeYeland'S Mascot.

A correspondent of the Buffalo Cour-
Ter has discovered mascot, which he
describes as follows: During the trial
of the great erape-sugar suit of John L.
Alberger and Horace Williams against
Cicero J. Ha1nlin and others, which I'M
der change Of venue came before the
courts of Genesee County in December
1880, President-elect Cleveland spent
ten days in Batavia as one of the attor-
neys for the plaintiff. Mr.. Cleveland
stopped at local hotel, and during bis
stay was given seat at one of the dining
room tables, which he retained at every
meal. One of the dining room girls
took particular pains to see that he was
served promptly and well, and when
ever Mr.. Cleveland's name was brought
before the public as candidate she has
been enthusiastic in his support. In
October, 1882, when the adjourned iu-
dicial convention was held here, the
Hon. l.. l.. Lewis, of Buffalo, one of the
candidates for the nomination, made
the hotel his headquarters during the
deadlock that ensued, and occupied the
same seat at the same table that Gov.
Cleveland had retained, and was waited
upon by the same girl. The result of
the convention was Judge Lewis nom
nation and subsequent election. Dur
ing the recent Republican congression-
al convention here Landlord Collins, of
the st. James, was telling Judge Saw
yer, of Orleans, whose name was pre-
sented for nomination, of the good fort
une of the gentlemen who had occu-
pied the seat referred to in his dining
room, and, though Judge Sawyer's
chances of receiving the honor did not
seem to be great, he was given the chair
at the table that had seated the other
gentlemen. The days of the conven-
ton wore away without any perceptible
improvement in Sawyer's chances until
the 577th ballot, when the long and ac-
rimon1ous contest was brought to a
close by the selection of Judge Sawyer,
and he has been elected by round ma
jority. This dining-room girl, consider
ing the good luck that has attended the
aspirants to Office who have occupied
the seats at her table, lays claims to be-
ing mascot. Good fortune has surely
attended the three gentlemen whose
names are mentioned
