ease.
Montrey came here from Meriden about
eight years ago, and has since that time
worked at his trade a. burnisher at
Simpson, Hall, Miller & Co., and recently
at Aaltby, Stevens & Curtis 90. About
year ago he, with his family, consisting of
a wife, daughter and ten-year-old boy.
took up his residence on Hall avenue, In
Mrs. E. L. Rockets house, and since that
time has kept several boarders. For some
time past he has been drinking heavily,
and two weeks ago he came home intoxi-
Gated and had serious alteration with
his wife, which resulted in her receiving
two black eyes, and in Montrey leaving
horne, and afterwards posting his wife
at the various stores about town.
Since that time he has been stop
ping with another, French Canadian
on Hall avenue nearer to Community
bridge. Friday Montrey was badly under
the influence of liquor > and early Saturday
morning started out to one of the saloons
for an early drink, and returning fell in
the gutter opposite his former home, where
he was found and taken in to the home he
had left two weeks before. Several years
ago while stopping in Meriden he was
taken down with heart disease and for q
time it was thought that he would die, but
he recovered and since that time he has
been apparently in good health, but 1t is
supposed that his reesnt excessive drinking
brought on another attack of the heart
trouble which resulted In his sudden death.
