SUPERIOR COURT, CIVIL SIDE.

The Complicated Case of Attorney Cole
Against Sam PepIn on Trial.
Judge Wheeler opened the superior
court here this morning and the first
case put on trial was that of Edward F.
Cole VS. Samuel Pepin ct al. A re-
hearsal of this peculiar case will be of
interest. In the spring of 1889 Samuel
Pepin was in Strengthened circum-
stances. He approached Jean Jacques
with a scheme to open up summer
garden in the rear of the American
hotel, on Scovill street. The hotel was
occupied by man named Boisvert, who
held a lease of the premises from
Augustus P. P. Camp. Manager
Jacques entered into the scheme, fur
nished all the money, some $500 or $500,
and Pepin secured a suitcase from
Boisvert. A few weeks after the garden
was opened Camp, who had not been
paid his rent by Boisvert, sent con-
stable and assistant down to clean out
the place. They not only closed the
hotel but the garden as we'll. The case
was put in Attorney Coles hands and a
judgment for $500 was secured
installments. Pepin, who had
removed to Springfield, demanded the
whole amount of the money, saying he
would settle with Mr. Jacques. This
was refused and he then made an as
signment of his interest to Attorney
Pierce. The suit was brought by Attor
ney Cole to recover his fees of $3.50
The evidence introduced by Attorney
Cole and Manager Jacques this morning
was that Attorney Cole was to have
half the judgment if he won the case
Pepin denim denied this and said Coll
offered to do the work for $50, and aft eI
winning the case wanted $500, and h
| the made an assignment.

The Body of PanIster, Who Escaped
From Sing Sing With Roehl, Given Up
by the RIver-He, also, Had Bullet
Hole In the Head
SING SING, May 1e-The body of
Thomas Pallister the murderer who es-
capped from Sing Sing with Roehl was
found at 10 o'clock this morning, by a
fisherman, in the river about midway
between Sing Sing and Rockland.
The body was towed to this place,
and although badly decomposed, was
identified by Keeper Connaughton and
Detective Jackson by the clothing. The
coroner, will arrive this afternoon.
A startling discovery was made when
the body was examined by the prison
physician. Over the right eye was a
bullet hole, showing that Pallister was
either murdered or committed suicide.
In his pocket was found a revolver
with every chamber loaded, which gives
rise to the belief that Pallister was
murdered by his companion, Roehl, who
then committed suicide by shooting
himself. Detective Jackson believes
that this is the correct theory, and is Of
the opinion that Roehls skull was frac
tured by striking against the side of the
boat or a stone, after shooting himself.

POLICE COURT,
A Physical Wreck and Almost Insane
From Drink,

A Physical Wreck and Almost Insane
From Drink.
One of the worst cases of drunken.
ness ever seen in the police court sat In
the box this morning. His name was
James Cahill. Officer King found him
roaming about the streets yesterday, ap-
parently insane. In the box this morn
ing he was trembling from head to foot.
His hands beat tattoo to the pounding
of his feet on the floor. He could not
stand without assistance and was the
most pitiable wreck that the court had
ever sentenced. He was given thirty
days in the town house. His wife was
present and begged for clemency. She
said she would take care of him; she
had four children to support. Judge
Root thought Cahill ought to be put
under a doctors care, and he changed
his sentence to fifteen days, and said the
selectmen would take care of the
woman and her children.
James Sweeney said he came from
Bridgeport yesterday and got drunk.
He said he worked at Eaton, Cole 6,
Burnham's. When asked by Attorney
O'Neill who was the engineer at that
factory, he replied after some hesita-
ton: "A man named Ryan" This
settled him, as Attorney O'Neilrs
brother has been engineer there for the
past twenty years. He was fined 81
and costs.

Tailor Simons Makes Application to Have
Him Declared InsOlvent.
There was another move made in the
case of Chas L. Stocking, ex-assistant
treasurer of the Benedict & Burnham
Co. this morning Philip H.. Simons,
the tailor, went into the probate court
and made application to have Stocking
declared an insolvent debtor. He al
legged in his application that on May ~
he filed writ of attachment against
the estate of Charles L. Stocking for
$50 for clothing. On May Is Constable
Egan made his returns and said that no
property could be found sufficient to
meet the attachment. Simons set forth
further in his application that Stocking,
sixty days prior to the writ Of attach
ment, was the owner of real and per-
sonal estate which he has fraudulently
and wilfully conveyed away to avoid
payment of his debts. Judge Lowe ap-
pointed tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the
probate court for a hearing on the ap-
plication.

will leave that to the public to decide.

Kelly Says:

Everyone would live to be a hundred If
they only took more pains in selecting
what they eat. There is no wealth but
life. That country is rich which nourishes
the greatest number of human beings
That man is the richest who perfects the
functions of his own life to the utmost.
Health is mans birthright. 1t is as natural
to be we'll as to be born. All diseases and
all tendencies to disease are the result of
eating food never intended for the human
family. A break down in health is caused
more by errors in diet than all other causes
put together. Errors in diet are of two
general classes. First, the use OF food
unsuited to the organism; second, the par
taking of food in quantities greatly in ex-
cess of the needs of the system. 1t is
well-known fact that nine-tenths of the
people IN this country are suffering from
some unknown complaint or disease. Now
what causes this troubles Is it caused by
the lack of some nourishment in the food
that we use For an illustrations: It was
intended by nature that your teeth should
last as long as your life, but to the con-
trary we find the nine-tenths of the people
loses their teeth before one third OF their
life is spent, and when you lose your teeth
9anism. and this Is the basis of all our
trouble. Now, how can we remedy this
The best authority says: If you will feed
Yourself and children on Entire Wheat
Flour YOU will get all the bone and muscle
Qualities which nature intended we should
Use the genuine Entire Wheat Bread made
bv KELLY only, at least once a day, and
you will soon get over that tired feeling.
$3.50 will buy barrel of Pillsbury's
Best and other brands of Flour, If you will
give my man an empty barrel.
