Gregory Claims Self.Defence-The Car Driver Very Low The Murdered Woman.
 Coroner Sperry, of Hartford, was busy all day yesterday investigating the Hartford tragedy. Harrison, the car driver, was very weak with loss of blood yesterday afternoon. There was faint hope that he might re- cover. He is about 55 years old and a wid over. Gregory, the murderer, is the son of the late s. W. Gregory, of Hartford. He is 28 years of age and is said to be hard char acter. Several years ago he was arrested for shooting his wife, Maggie Mclaughlin. She is still alive and carries the bullet yet. Ada Brown, the murdered woman's, name was Keney. She was a daughter of Shelton Keney, well-to-do farmer, who at one time lived near Windsor. Years ago he moved with his family to Winsted and in that town the girl was brought up. She married, but for long time has not lived with her hus- band. By him she had child, little girl, who has always lived with her. The child is now in the care of neighbor. From let ters found in the murdered woman's room it has been learned that her mother resides in Great Harrington, Mass She has two up- cles living, one in Windsor and the other in Waterbury.
 Gregory makes the statement that Harri- son was about to kill the woman when he in terfered and in self-defense killed Harrison Gregory late yesterday afternoon asked to be allowed to see the deceased woman. His re- quest was granted and his face blanched as he took nasty glance at the pale face. He staggered back and accompanied the chief of police back to his office. He sank into chair and begged for water. It was given
 
 'sIt's too d@d bad" A few minutes later he was taken to the jail.

 The family of Ferris Lake, Q man about 55 years of age, were startled yesterday after noon about o'clock by the reports of re- volyer coming from the room to which MT Lake had retired after dinner, saying he would lie down and take 8 nap. He had eaten heartily and had seemed well and ap- peared happy. The noise of the shots struck terror to the heart of Mrs Lake. She rushed into the room and found her husband lying on the bed. He said that he had shot him. self and was sorry he had not died immedi- ately. Four shots had been fired into his ab- domen.
 Mir Lake was for many years contractor at the clock shop. He lost his contract re- gently, and although continued as hired mechanic, the reduction in his wages caused him great anxiety and despondency. He be came dissipated somewhat and is said tc have been victim to policy playing. Dr. William H. Hotchkiss attended the wounded man. He lived through the after noon and evening, but will probably not long survive.
 Ferris Lake is the father of three daugh ters5 the oldest of whom is the wife of c. F Thompson of the firm of Platt 6 Thompson The remaining two. are under twenty years O age and live at home.

 ination honor After another short
 deliberation, Colonel Henry Allen, of Bran
 ford, was presented by w. F. Andrews, of East Haven. His nomination followed
 like a whirlwind. Middlesex and Middle town. Waterbury and the Naugatuck Valley, Meriden and Derby aligned themselves with New Haven. Colonel Allen was unanimous ly nominated Proceeding to the chairman's desk he addressed the convention as fol- lows:
 Mir Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: Your determination in nominating me for this
 high position is not in accord with my feelings and I don't think you ought to have done so. But you to stand up before you and decline to accept the I nomination so unanimously preferred by you ingj Your unanimity has forced me to accept.
 Ny health is not of the best, and am sorry to say l soldiers record and defy any man to show me a better one
 The resolutions passed by the Middletown convention were re-passed with the name of Colonel Allen substituted. The convention I then adjourned well satisfied with the morn | ing's work
