MURDERER BORJESSEN.

Hears the WOrkmen Erecting the Dread
Instrument of Death.
LITcHFIELD, Jan 26.-Andrew Bories
sons life will be sacrificed to the 81 ate on
Friday, but to see the man last night in
his cell in the county Jail here no one
would ever think that he was to die on
the gallows in less than three days
Borjessen was lying on his cot in the
little cell reading "a bible given him by
the Rev Mr. Mclaughlin, who has work
ed so hard to give the condemned man
an idea of christianity. Borjessen has
been close student of the scriptures for
several weeks and few DAYS ago ex-
claimed to his spiritual adviser. "YOu
have saved my soul and 1 wish you
could do something to save my body" .
Borjessen will be bouyed up by religion
when the awful moment arrives. He
is finally convinced that he has been for
given for his sins and the clergyman is
confident that he VI ill die without max
ing a scene. The Jail officials are not so
certain of this. Borjessen appears to be
resigned at present, they say, but they
fear when he is led from his cell to the
gallows his courage will fail him.
This morning the first sound that
reached the ears of the murderer was
the hammering of the carpenters en-;
gagged in erecting the galIows on which
he will swing. This instrument of
death arrived last night having been
brought from New Haven on a truck.
This morning a number of men were
early at work placing it in readiness for
the hanging. The place where the
gallows stands is not more than forty
feet from Borjessen's cell and he could
hear every blow. After reading the
bible for fifteen or twenty minutes
Borjessen laid it aside and engaged in
conversation with the death watch who
sits in the corridor just outside his cell
door. Although Borjessen knew moth
ing about the preparations for the hang
ing he asked the watch if they were
erecting the gallows. The watch
he knew well what the hammering

Last Chapter in Notorious Camp-PearsaL
Case.

Last Chapter in Notorious Camp-Pearsall
Case.
The New Haven papers state that by
the terms upon which the suit for aliena-
ton of affections, brought by Mrs S. NJ
Camp against Mrs Laura E. Pearsall,
was settled, the latter agreed to pay the
plaintiff $4,000. Attorney O'Neil was
out of town to-day. General Kellogg,
the defendants attorney, was found and
denied that such an amount was agreed
upon. He said that the papers had con-
founded the amount of alimony allowed
Mrs Camp in her suit for divorce, 81, 900.
with the amount Of the settlement.
General Kellogg would not give the
exact figures, but said that the sum was
not far from So, 900.
Thus ends one of the most sensational
cases ever tried in Connecticut. The
suit was brought by Mrs Camp on the
ground that Mrs Pearsall had alienated
her husbands affections, and she
claimed $50, 900 damages.
In October, 1890, Mrs Camp brought
two suits, one against her husband,
Edwin N. Camp, for divorce and ali
mony, and one against Mrs Pearsall for
alienation sof affections. In the divorce
suit. Mrs Pearsall was named as the CO.
respondent.
This SUIT was tried before Judge Prem
tice last June and after a two weeks
trial Mrs Camp secured the divorce and
about 81 900 alimony. Attorney O'Neil
appeared for Mrs Camp and Kellogg &
Kellogg, D. F. Webster and Cole ap,
peared for Mr. Camp and Mrs Pearsall.
The suit for alienation of affections
was next in order after the divorce suit
had been settled, but the defendants
attorneys placed the case on the jury
list and thus it went over until the
January term. The case was assigned
for trial to-day.

JOHN +. cAss UNDER ARREST.


A Derby Man Claims He Obtained
Goods Under False Pretenses.
Chief of Police Nolan Of Birmingham,
came to town this afternoon and in
company with Detective EPan placed
John F. Cass under arrest, charged with
obtaining goods under false pretenses.
sGCass, who conducted milk route in
this city, some time ago purchased a
wagon from Joseph N. Booth of
Derby. On January he sent a
check for $3.50 in payment
for the same, but later discovered that
his account at Holmes & Parsons bank
had been overdrawn, and the check
went to protest. Cass claims that when
he learned of this he at once notified Mr.
Booth and told him. that he would make
matters right within a short time. The
latter brought the action as above. II
is probable that the case will be settled.
Cass was taken to Derby on the 1895
train.

with music, "Uncle Celestin." Much

it seems to be conceded by all that in
"Uncle Celestin" Audran has offered a
work that makes a distinct period in
comic opera, in that 1t combines all the
beauties of refined farce comedy with
the sweet and tuneful strains that have
made the fame of the author If ''The
