FIRE AND SUICIDE
Dudley Waite Sets Fire to tho Ham.
den Town Barn and Then Hangs
Himself From Fright.

Dudley waite Sets Fire to tho Ham.
don Town Barn and Then Hangs
Himself From Fright.
About hslf-past one O'Clock yesterday
morning the large barn which stands about
three hundred feet from the almshouse in
Hamden was discovered to be in flames.
There were horses and COWS in the barn,
besides large quantity of hay, feed, all
the farming utensils used on the Hamden
town farm, two carriages, wagons, harness,
etc. The livestock was gotten out, but
everything else was burned and the barn
was burned to the ground.
The suspicion was that the fire was of
incendiary origin, and q great many be-
lieved that Dudley Waite, an inmate of the
almshouse, an old man in slightly de-
mented condition, was the person who set
it on fire, and as he was missing 1t was
thought he had persisted in the flames.
Some men who had been at work at the
fire discovered his body, however. on their
way home hanging from the limb of tree
about one hundred yards from the burn
ing barn.
The inference was that he had set fire to
the barn and watched It burn from the
bushes and that he became frightened
when the neighbors focked together at the
fire.
He had hay rope with him, which he
threw over q limb of q tree, and fastening
one end to his neck, made the other end
fast to the trunk of the tree. He stood on
the decayed stump of tree while he tied
the rope about his neck and then jun ped
from his perch and swung by the neck
with his feet about six inches from the
ground

DROWNED in THE HARBoR.

Charles Gardner Meets Death Near
the End OF Long Wharf-Hts Body
Recovered Yesterday Afternoon.
The body of Charles Gardner, long
shoreman who was drowned in the harbor
near Long wharf yesterday morning, was
recovered about4 o'clock yesterday after
noon and removed to his late residence on
State street, after 1t had been viewed by
Medical Examiner White.
Gardner was French Canadian, about
fifty years of age, and was employed by
A. Foote & Co., the fish dealers at Long
wharf. Shortly after 10 o'clock he was
sent to some clam bins just back of E. P.
Avery's place to bring load of CLAIMS
around to the wharf of the fish company.
Gardner loaded up two boat loads and
started back with them. There was quite
heavy sea running at the time and as he
had loaded the boats down to the waters
edge the one that he had in tow sank. A
couple of gentlemen at Avery's place saw
the boat sink, but Gardner kept on in
the other boat and they paid no further at
tention to him.
Shortly after this one of the same men
saw Gardner swimming for the wharf, but
as he disappeared around the corner Of the
dock he thought he had landed in safety.
He did not appear on the wharf, however,
and must have gone down just as he got
out of sight of the spectator. Graphing
irons were at once secured, but it was not
until o'clock that the body was recov-
cred

hit him on his right hand 80 hard as to
break 1t badly. He had to carry It in \
sling for eight weeks steady.
Bryan E. Lynn has no skill at all in
fencing for scientific points. will put up
$3.50 In any gentleman's hand for match,
II he will show his beautiful swordsman-
ship, but no thrusing allowed. I will put
a small flag on the top Of my mask for Mr..
Lynn to knock off, that says If he has any
skill fencing to do it.
Hoping that Mr.. Lynn will not disap-

much If you will put this in your widely
circulated paper.
Yours respectfully,

land, mafne-Wil be Buried in Cam.
bridgeport.
The large number of friends in this city
of the deceased were startled yesterday
morning by the news of the sudden desth
of James T. Leighton of "a Gill street.
All that was stated in the telegram was
that he had dropped dead in Portland, Me-,
on the street in front of the United States
hotel. The news was all the more shock
to the community as a letter was received
from Mrs. Leighton Wednesday stating
that her husband was feeling very well.
Mr.. and Mrs. Leighton left here about
five weeks ago to visit Lubeo, Me-, which
is Mr.. Leighton's native place, for the
benefit of his health. A year ago Mr..
Leighton suffered stroke of this CHAR
acter which inoapacitated him for business.
James T. Leighton was sixty years old
last April. he was born in Lubec, Wash
ington county, Me. At the age of twenty
three ne moved to Boston, where he en-
gagged in the car manufacturing business.
Later he came to this city, about twenty
three years ago, and was superintendent of
the New Haven Car Manufacturing COM
pany in Nashville, remaining in that posi-
ton until the company suspended. He
then accepted position as general mana
ger for the jackson, Sharp company of
Wilmington, Del. acting at the same time
in similar capacity for the Middletown
Car Spring Manufacturing company of
Philadelphia.
Five years ago he went to work for the
Baker Heating company and later for the
Urited States Car Heating company of
Albany. He was in their employ year ago
last January, when he sustained the apoplet-
10 stroke thatincapaoitated him. He was
man of fine presence, q genial and true
friend and leaves many sincere friends.
Mr.. Leighton leaves a widow and one
con, George Leighton. A sister, Miss Susan
R. Leighton, resided with him, and his
brothers are D. R. Leighton, 154 Grove
street, and II. NJ. Leighton of Boston. He
was prominent and much esteemed mem

of the will of the late Herbert Bigelow was
heard yesterday morning by Charles K.
Bush as committee of the superior court.
The will gave to daughter of the deceased
his whole estate and left out entirely two
sons, his two remaining children. The e.
tate amounts to about $1,000. The will
was admitted to probate here, but one of
the sons, Fred Bigelow, took exceptions to
it and took an appeal on the ground that
the testator was of unsound mind and was
also unduly Influenced. The will was rep
resented by Attorney E.P. Arvine. and the
contestant by P. W. Chase. The entire
day was consumed in taking evidence.
