Guilty of IA HeinouS Crime.
The case of Daniel COnuOrS of Manga
tuck, charged with rape on sixteen year old
Minnie White, came up in the superior
SQUIRT this morning. The little girl told the
story of the crime. She had been to High
Rock Grove on July g. 1898. She lived on
the lower Naugatuck road, and was going
home from the 500 train, when Daniel
COnnOrs caught up with her, and Selling
her dragged into the bushes. and then
committed his vile crime. The story, as
she told it, was pitiful in the extreme
Her clothes We're torn, she said and she was
cut and bleeding when she staggered into

ferent parts of the story: Sheriff Sweeney.

Recor, Edward Recor, Lena Hubbell,
Chief Hosford and DIR futile. Connors
took the stand in his own defense He
said that he had known Minnie White for
ten months. The day the crime was said
to have been committed he worked for his
father cutting hay. He afterwards went
up to the center. He saw the
girl standing near Sherlocks and
talked to her about her trip to
High Rock grove, and then started home
with her. They sat on fence near the
fork of the road but he did not commit
the alleged assault. In regard to the Sc
cond assault, upon the O'Toole girl, Con-
nors said that the whole story wa, untrue
that he had brought the old man home, but
he had not assaulted the girl. His father
corroborated him in his testimony The
boy further said he did not know anything
after he was arrested by Sheriff Sweeney.

CORNELL'S MYSTERY.
No Clew to the Perpetrators of the Gas
Poisoning Tragedy.


ITHACA, n. ", Feb. 22-The city Off
Gals, in conjunction with the Cornell uni
versity authorities, are straining every
nerve to discover the fiend or fiends who
caused chlorine gas to be ditfused through
the banquet hall. Coroner Brown impan-
eled jury, which forthwith adjourned I'M
til this afternoon in order to collect more
evidence.
In the room containing the jug in which
were placed the chemicals were found the
remains of a lunch, thus tending to prove
that the perpetrators were at work during
the daytime. Unfavorable reports are con-
tinually received concerning the conditions
of the victims of last nights episode, but
thus far no fatalities have occurred.
Mrs Jackson's daughter is i'll Il critical
condition, as are also young Mcneil, a stu
dent of Pittsburg, and w. +. McColluch OF
Oneonta, n. Y, both members of the class
of '95. Further interest is added to the
case by the statement of Mr. Gillette, an
assistant at Rumsey & CO.. hardware
store, that a chisel was purchased there
Tuesday morning by a young man, pre-
sumably a student, but afterward was re-
turned and an anger taken in its place.
With these clews it is thought the guilty
parties can be identified by subp9naing
every sophomore and others present at the
banquet.
The arrested students were arraignea be-
fore Recorder Smith and pleaded not
guilty. They were then placed under bail
until Saturday.

LETTER FROM Mr. BROWN
Says the state Central Committee Did
Not Intend TO Violate the Law


Not Intend TO Violate the Law
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb 22-The civil
service commission have recently received
letter from J. F. Brown, the secretary of
the democratic state central committee, in
regard to the assessment of the federal Of
fee holders by the committee. Mr. Brown
states in his letter to the commission, that
the committee acted in ignorance that it
was violating the United States law, if it
was guilty of any such violation, and that
they regret the occurrence. 1t has also
come to the knowledge of the commission
that Collector Goddard of Bridgeport OPP
posed the issue of the assessment circular
and it is claimed that he was the only fed
eral official concerned in the matter. Com
missioner Roosevelt, however, is not dis
posed to drop the matter yet and intends
if violation of the law is discovered, to
push it to a prosecution. He regards the
action of the committee as highly lmprop-
er in any case, but if it appears that no
federal officer had share in the assess
ments and that the circulars were not de
livered in any public building, he may not
ask for criminal prosecutions.
