Drowned In a Tub of Hos water.


 BRIDGEPORT, Dec. A.-A sad accident oc- carred at No. 299 Pembroke street at twelve o'clock this noon in the apartments oc- cupied by Mir. Robert Norton.

When she return ed she found the child lying head downward in the tub of water. The mother hastily ex- tricated the child from this position, but he was then gasping and nearly dead. Medical assistance was hastily sent for. but before Q physician arrived the child had breathed his last. Death resulted from drowning. The child must have died without making an outcry, ss the father slept calmly until aroused by the screams of his nearly frantic wife, who went nearly distracted when she discovered the little boys condition.

KINGS FINE STORY.
Mrs. Lemer Corrects Some OF His Plausi-
BILE Statements.

Mrs. Lener COrrectS some OF HIS flau5l-
BILE Statements.
Mrs. Lemer, the mother of the girl who
married James King, the man convicted of
bigamy and sentenced to three years in the
State Prison at Folsom, says that number
OF the statements made by King to a
RECORD UNION reporter on Friday last are
false and she produced documentary evil
dence to prove her assertion. Among
other things, King told the reporter that he
never received the letter from his first wife
which was produced in Court against him.
but that it had been received and opened
by Mrs. Lemer, at the house. This the lady
positively denies, and yesterday showed
the reporter the envelope in which the let
ter came to King, it having been left at
her house with a number of letters and
other things belonging to King. 1t was
addressed to King at the Western Hotel
and Mrs Lemer says he received it there
and brought it over to her house, where he
told them about it and appeared very blue
over it. In this letter his wife informed
him that she had never been married to
anyone but him. This letter, she says,
was received on Saturday and on the fol-
lowing Tuesday he was married to her six
teen-year-old daughter
King also stated that while he was room
ing at Mrs. Lemers he kept the house in
nearly everything. The lady says that he
not only did nothing towards the support
of the family but that he did not even pay
for his washing and room rent In regard
to his statement that she gave her consent
to her daughters marriage she saws that
she told King positively that she would not
give her consent until Matte was eighteen
years old, which would be in two years.
He married the child against her protest
and as soon as she found it out she took
steps to break it up and have him punished
for the crime he had committed.
