COOLY DEVISED PLAN
To Take the Life Of an
AttIeb0r0 Woman.
THE WOULD-BE ASSASSIN
Had No Other Object Than to Deliber-
ately Commit Murder.

ATTLEBoRo, Mass, Sept. 25.-Mrs. STAN
ford Wood of this town very near became
the vic,im of IA murderer last week, and
the awful plan being carried out. The
story has but just become public.
The details Of the case ~ far as can be
learned. are as follows: About 9 o'clock
Thursday morning Mrs. Wood was awak.
ened by sensation OF suffocation and by
the pressure of mans hand on her
throat, and discovered that there was a
white cloth saturated with some sort OF
solution being held To her face. The man
who slood ovec her WAS rubbing the
inslde of her mouth with "A portion of the
cloth.
Mrs. Wood screamed for help, and her
husband. who was sleeping in another
part of the house. was awakened by her
cries and ran To her assistance, thereby
frightening the man away.
Mrs. W ood was partially dazei when her
husband arrived, and was only able To de-
scribe to him her experience, rs related
above
Proof That Murder Was Intended.
The house was searched, and in the din
ing room. behind "A box, twoounce vial
Of chloroform was found, with white
handkerchief, soak-d with chloroform,
wrapped around il. When Mrs. Wood
learned Of this she became unconscious,
aud remained so until morning, when she
was .aken TO her fathers house. where
she received medical attendance 1t was
found that her mouth had been badly
burned, and that her eyes were much In
famed.
Deputy Sheriff Brown WAS informed Of
the facts aud he is now on the track Of the
person who is said to have committed the
deed.
Mrs WOOD had received several anony-
nous letters telling her that before long
she would be killed. The neighborhood in
which she lives is not very good one, and
there has been more or less trouble among
the families which compose il.
To reporter last evening Mrs. Wood
said she does not know why any attempt
on her life should be made, although she
has lived in fear for some time lest some
thing should happen 10 her,
Was secretsd In the House.
No door or window was open in the
house last Thursday morning, and how an
entrance was made by the assailants is uu-
known.
Late last evening the police announced
that they Lad located the would-b he MUIR
derer, and that he would be in custody be-
fore the lapse of many hours.
Sheriff Brown said last night that the
attempt TO murder Mrs Wood was the
result of "A coolly devised plan, and that
the fellow who had made the attempt
must have been concoaied in the house be-
fore Mr.. and Mrs. Wood retired To bed
The sheriff also states that robbery was
not part of the mans design, but that he
had attempted the murder with the sole
purpose OF putting Mrs. Wood out Of the
way.
Mrs Wood is "A years old and has two
children. She is the daughter Of Eber +.

THE DAVIS MURDER.
All the Evidence For the Government Is Now
in.-.Trial Nearing It's End.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept. 2S - There
were not "A few long-drawn sighs Of relief
in the courtroom when Attorney General
Pillsbury announced that the government
rested its case. With the exception OF the
frozen pudding interruption OF Thursday,
they had been listening all the week to the
long story of witnesses produced by the
prosecution to establish the guilt of James
Albert Trefethen.
The closing of the governments evidence
renewed the gossip concerning the proba-
BILE quito ome Of the case Trefethen had
goodly contingent f sympathizers before
the trial commenced, and the number has
not diminished by the testimony of the
prosecution. The sympathetic persons
have great hopes of his acquittal, and they
are confident that nothing can happen
worse than II di sagreement Of the jury.
In support of their belief they point to
the fact that the cases have been exceed
ingly rare in the history Of the country
where defendant has been convicted for
the second time for a capital offense No
such Instance is recalled here in New
England.
The governments evidence is not a
source Of alarm TO Trefet hens friends al.
though it is practically the same as that
which convicted him before.
On the other hand, the govern ment's
allies are equally sure that verdict of
guilty will be brought In against Ire
iethen.
Toe defense commenced its testimony
boiay after Mr.. Schofeld finished his
opening, which he commenced Saturday,
aud two days will probably be consumed.
Another day will be taken up by the clos
Ing arguments aud the judges charge.
A verdict is looked for by Wednesday
night or Thursday morning.

a Comparison.

Editor Tribune
have been waiting a long time, Mr..
Editor, for some OF the papers OF the city
to call attention to the expense caused by
the order OF Mayor Brown to provide a
reception to Hon. Honore Mercier Of
Canada on the occasion of his visit here
last July.
There was no such delicacy on the part
OF the papers in pu blishing the expense
incurred by Mayor Carroll I'm 1890, on the
occasion of the Cotton Centenary celebra-
tion. At that time there was much ado
about the expenditure OF $500 which
was spent on behalf OF the city, carried
out by the city's representative, and to
which the people OF the city and all
visitors were welcome at all reasonable
hours during the six days OF the celebra-
tion.
In this latter case am credlbly informed
that the celebration" lasted about as
many hours as days in the case OF Mayor
| Carroll, and the expense OF the affair, with
a very limited attendance, was about ESQ.
Now, | am not going to criticise Mayor
Brown for going to this expense In enter
| tanning such a distinguished visitor to
our city as Hon. Mr.. Mercier, but l
thought | would make a comparison so
that those who were complaining about
the "enormous.~. expenditure of Mayor
Carroll can see how the boot Bts when on
the other leg. FAIR PLAY.

LONSDALE.

The cut down In wages by the Lonsdale
Company and the accompanying increase
In rents by the same concern are not prov
Ing more welcome or acceptable as time
goes on. This village has among its work
ing people very large proportion of per-
sons who read, reason and reflect. These
persons are fast arriving at the conclusion
that the reduction In their pay was very
unjust proceeding on the part OF the mill
management. They are sufficiently in
formed concerning the state OF the mar
kets as to understand that there was little
II any reason for the sweeping decrease in
what was already rather meagre compen-
sation.
For the raising OF the rents they argue
that not even the shadow OF an excuse
can be found. IL times are hard and
values are lower surely the value of real
estate must share In the evil effects OF
the general distress and depreciate in
worth. This being so, 1t would follow
that rents should be lower rather than
higher. IL tenement house property has
fallen off in its selling price, what earthly
reason can be advanced for exacting from
the holders of tenements an increased
amount for rent. A cut down in wages
and jump up I'm rents by the same COM
pany at the same time leaves ground for
suspicion that possibly the "hard times"
furnish profitable pretext for doing an
unreasonable and ungenerous act.

AWAITING AN AUTOPSY
Daniel Cronan's Body at
a Boston Morgue.
SEVERAL ARRESTS MADE.
Barroom Fight Leads to What Will
Likely Prove to Be Murder.

Boston, Sept. 25-Chsrles buddy. who
has been very much wanted by the police
since Saturday night for being concerned
ln the killing # Daniel Cronan, was cap
iured in Cambridge last evening. Cronan
was struck several times In the neck dur
lug an alteration In McNamee's saloon, 10
Cambridge street, the las. blow flooring
him. When he was picked up life was
extinct
Captain Watts arrived quickly on the
scene and several arrests were made, but
buddy escaped.
IL seems that buddy and friend named
Harry Angus entered the saloon together.
buddy knew one man in the gang already
there, who also lived In Cambridgeport.
Cronan called some hard names, and
they went for him. buddy and Angus
both punched him, but II has since been
learned that the final blow that knocked
Cronan down
Was Struck by Angas.
Captain Watts told the story of the ar
rest and the subsequent chase and cap
ture Of buddy last evening
II had the doors locked as soon as got
into the saloon and began to pick out
those concerned and some witnesses" he
began.
II arrested these and had them locked
up: John s Mulverhill, f. +. Daniels,
Arthur III. Hackett, William Durnan and
Edward 4. Downs. AS came out Of the
place, a man pointed down the street and
said ought to arrest the two walking
along there. l ran after them and gra bbed
their arms.
"Both men showed fight and buddy,
whom did not know at the time, got
away. The other was Angus and took
him TO the station.
"Then, as soon as / learned the facts.
/ took several officers and started for
Cambridge to look up buddy. He lives
at 10 Broadway, but was not al home.
/ then sent Special Officer Gilmore and
Officer Hickey back to search the West
End.
I'VE stayed in Cambridge until 5
o'clock this morning We got on his
track and followed him
From Place to Place.
At one place they said he was going to
visit relatives in Brighton, so we followed.
but they had heard nothing If him.
He had started all right, but, becoming
frightened, had got of the car, clinL. u
the fence at Beacon park AID spent the
night there. This afteiIiuua W" "Gut o
Cambridge and brought "cY wi
Us.
What charge will bc pi,i rtea against
the prisoners, Angus and D.d ), e. ,AoU
say until after the autopsy, n.'cu IS 20 DC
held tomorrow. II CronaD died o. neart
disease, he will probably be held only for
assault, but If the blow caused the death,
IL will be a different matter"
This arrest OF buddy clears up the whole
business and reflects great credit on the
police of station 3 and of Cambridge.
Two witnesses were secured III Cam
bridge, John and Eugene Flanagan, who
knew buddy well, and the former came
In and identified Angus yesterday as the
man who struck the last blow. Mulverhill
also identified him.
Harry Angus is ST. Louis man, who
has been in Boston but week. buddy
knew him, because they once worked to-
gether as stonemasons. lie Is taller than
the Cambridge man, but about the same
age.
Cronan's body Is at the North Grove
street morgue. awaiting the autopsy.
