Squire Preston last week tor the murder
Of John eharpless, and placsd In tbs

stntenCes for the FeFRwood robbery.
This request was refused, % was also
bis request to read the warrant to "Bis
Charley" In the jail here At Media.
The counsel for Samuel johnson, who
are pushing the charges against the
FeFnwOod gang, will have the eVidenO Oe
tending TO tmplioate the man in the
murder of John shArpless ready In n
few days.
II will be presented 10 She shape OF

will be framed aud put In the hands OF
the District Attorney to bring before
the Court in September. Judge Clayton
Is expected home from Europe in about
two weeks and 1t will depend alto
gether upon his decitiOn whether they
will be tried or not,
GeoIgs Il, Stuart, Jr,, who is still no
tive in behalf OF Samuel Johuscn, says
they have strong proof OF Wilson and
Ohopaz both being the men, and 1t IL
daily growing stronger. They have
now six reliable witnesses, who say
they recognize the pictures OF ChopAz
and Wilson as those OF two msn seen
going towards John ShaFpless's home
on the day OF the murder.
Besides Alexander PuseY and his
wife, who sGy they saw Wilson and

Whitaker and wife, both BSJ they saw
the men about O'Clock on the Sunday
Of the murder.
They inquired the way 10 Baucroit's
and went in that direction. At Ban.
croft's they inquired the way 10 Water
vile, and as there IL evidence that Wal.
ton WAS stOpDirg With q relative near
here, II is the theory OF those working
on the case that the men met by Rp
pointment that evening and undertook
to rob the Sherpless mansion and made
q "mess" Of 1t, as one of the witnesses
puts 1t.
Farmer Duf says that neither he nor

In the date the men were seen. When
they heard Of the murder next day they
had talk about seeing the strange men
and although they had nothing more
than suspicion at the time that the
men might be the murderers they drove
to the shsrpless mansion and reported
seeing them. They also told a great
many others Of having seen the men,

CAPTURED AT LAST.
LeRoy Potter of Simonsville in g Serious
 Predicamant.

LeROy Potter of SimOnsville in Serious
 Predicament.
 About week ago as Officer John Byrnes was entering New Haven jail with Q pris- oner. Sheriff Wheeler of Southbury joined him with LeRoy Potter, who was bound 1 over for burglarizing the Southbury rail road depot The officer recognized Potter as Simonsville youth who had served two years for robbing Davis Baldwin of $500. The officer reported the fact to the police station and the chief, after some consider ation, ordered Officers Dodds and Haley to search Potter's mothers house at Simons- vile. The search was made between and l6 o'clock yesterday evening, and re suited in finding of proofs against Potter of half 8 dozen burglaries l Among the articles were the tickets and ticket stamps stolen recently from the Bea- con Falls and Union City railroad stations, number of tools taken from the office and toolhouse of bridge builder Burns, a conductors and brakeman's cap, an over coat and looking glass, stolen from the baggage car on conductor Tolles' train, 8 lantern belonging to the New England road, the door-plate of Supt Beachs office, which thieves tried to force a short time ago, and quantity of groceries, cigars and 1 tobacco, supposedly stolen from Smith s grocery store on South Main street.
 Among other things was found blank account book stamped with the New Eng land railroad stamp, in which Potter kept record of a number of robberies that oc- cured within the past three months, and of which he is suspected. Following are the entries:
 Robinson's carpenter shop burglarized. Naugatuck box car robbed. -.. A. D. Smiths store entered. cigars, cigarettes and shelf goods taken, and S1 Ill in change.
 Union City railroad office burglarized. Tickets. stamps and SS.50 taken.
 Naugatuck railroad storehouse entered by
 Naugatuck station at Torrington robbed last night. Tickets and other things taken. It is supposed the man was caught with stolen horse at Litchfeld It is supposed he is the one who en- office and other places in that portion.
 Horse car of Waterbury line forced with no success. N. G.
 The officers made a second visit to the house this morning in search of goods sto- len from the Naugatuck stores recently, but only succeeded in finding a few more tick cts and mileage books.
 Potter is about 9 years old, and from his personal appearance one would not think he knew enough to rob place. He was adopted by MT Potter when three days old and had $1 900 left in trust for him. MT Potter, ST, married his second wife when the boy was 13, but died several years ago. When the boy became 21 years of age his adopted mother turned over the $1 ,OO0 to him. He had pleasant home and never need do 8 hard days work had he but minded the counsel of his adopted mother, who is very good woman.
 The news of the finding of the tickets will be received with joy by the railroad officials who have been under orders to in- spect closely every ticket they took up.

THE TAYLOR MrRpER TRIAL.
Opened by the Superior Court in Hart
 ford Yesterday.


 ford Yesterday.
 The trial of Clarence E. Taylor, for the murder of William Tracy, began in Hart ford yesterday. Tracy, it will be re- membered, lived in New Britain about two miles from the center of the town. On the 2Sth of October, about 6:30 p. m., he was found on the floor of his barn with several severe wounds on his head. On the fol lowing Monday, October 29, he died. Clar- ence E. Taylor had been employed by MT. Tracy since the preceding April, and from evidence he was arrested for the crime. On the opening of the court the jurors were boiled, thirty-seven answering to their names. Before examining the jurors MT Hungerford made statement of the mur- der, detailing the incidents of the finding of Tracy in the barn on the evening of the 28th of October last, and his death on the 31st. The court excused ten of the thirty seven jurors, the state seven, and the de fense eight. Taylor entered plea of not pui1ty

A Camp for the Regulars.

The United States government has leased 300 acres of land on Fishers Island, at Race Point, with the purpose, it is said, of making camp there for portions of the troops of the division of the Atlantic in the summer months It is probable that a sham battle may be arranged for the pre- sent summer at this point, between the troops of the division of the Atlantic and the forces of the North Atlantic squadron. Arrangements are to be made for target practice and in their turn the troops at the various military posts within the division will have the advantages of the camp.

Among the things we do not do is this: Never annoy people, who are not ready to buy, or lie about our neighbors goods, but are willing to accord all fair valuation in the market. Neither do we run after a customer who has purchased of other agents, trying to make them dissatisfied and are yet liberal enough not to do all the Business. No Miniature Pianos carried in our pockets or Tuning Ham, mers thrown in We prefer the principle of every farmer to his milk cans, and mechanic to his ing and sympathy for Piano Tuners. Lastly, we manage our own business honestly, fairly and le- ultimately; pay dollar for dollar promptly. fur Installment Customers without the aid of Sher- ifs to collect on the same. Thirty years standing before the people as a Company, is sufnclent guarantee of our stability. Those Shoninger New Style Upright Pianos are elegant in design and finish.

Amateur Dramatios at the Ponce de Leol

New York Star.
Word comes from the South that at
old st. Augustine some very swell anna
teur dramatic performances are to De
given very shortly at the Ponce de Leon,
chat MIR. Fales Coward will go down to
manage them, and that Mrs. Alfred Bish-
OPP Mason will create the principal part at
one OF the performances, while several
well known New Workers who are in ST.
Augustine will appear in the cast. This
is IN error SO far as Mr.. Coward is con-
cerned, as he has no intention of mi-
grating southwark and knows nothing
more about the theatricals than Dame
Rumor has whispered TO him and the
pens of the newspaper correspondents
have told him.
Mrs. Bishop Mason is a charming little
woman and very clever writer, and, if
it be correct that a play by her own self
is to be interpreted and that she herself
Will take part in the cast, those who are
fortunate enough to be ''hard by at the
time are to be congratulated. Mrs. Ma
sons name heading the list of patronesses
would insure the success of any sort of a
performance, and there can be no doubt
that if a charity be the object of the st.
Augustine entertainment it will benefit
largely by it. No more propitious sea-
son could possibly be found than now
for the theatricals, and no more ideal
place than the Ponce de Leon. 1t will
be but nietamorphosis of the place of
action, there will be the same crowd of
fashionables that one would find at the
Lyceum Theater at a swell charitable
performance, and probably about the
same amateurs.
