Frazier's Case Continued Until the

In the criminal side of the Waterbury

piled for reduction of the bond in the
rape case against Ezra G. Frazier.
Judge Phelps reduced the amount from

hopes to prove an alibi.
Walter Limont, accused of stealing
500 pounds of fish bait from Henry w.

sicians employed by the state to examine
his condition reported that continued
CO fnement would result in his death.
Others, however. are inclined to laugh
| at the statement concerning McKier-
mans health. Those who have seen him
within the past few days say that he is
strong and robust. The delay on the
state in again placing him on trial is said
to be caused by the absence of witnesses
on whom the state depended for a con-
viction. The Brennan boys, who were
the principal witnesses for the state
weakened the prosecutions case con
siderably at the last trial, and if Nc
Herman was again tried by the jury the
chances are that he would be acquitted

Mayor Baldwin modestly explains
that whatever glory there may be at
tached to the calling of a city meeting to
secure for the people of Waterbury a
title to the old Grand street cemetery,
does not belong wholly to him. The
meeting was called at the urgent re-
quest Of many citizens both republican
and democratic, who see in the old ceme-
terry beautiful site for public build
ing of some kind. The meeting called
for next week is for the purpose of es-
tablishing the city's rights. When that
work is accomplished the Bronson
library agents may heed the voice of the
public in a matter which concerns
equally every citizen of Waterbury.

No Food for Sixteen Days.

The officials Of the Hartford Jail re-
port that one Of their prisoners, Patrick
German, has gone without food of any
kind for sixteen days. German was
sentenced to Jail on April Q for sixty
days for breach Of the peace. Since
that time he is said to have absolutely
refused everything but water, yet his
strength and appearance remain I'M
changed. German is under constant
surveillance in going to and from his
work and while at work, and the prison
officials feel sure he has had no food.
he says he feels as we'll as he ever did,
and he works the same AS the other
prisoners. He is probably insane, and
this fact is set up by believers in his
abstinence as an expla nation of his con-
tinuing to live and work without food.
