TIE HAWLEY MURDER TRIA

Shortly after 4~o'clock on Tuesday after noon the jury in the Florence Hawley mur der case in the Superior court at Bridgeport reported verdict ot manslaughter, and the prisoners counsel moved for stay of sent ence. Arguments on the motion were heard Thursday morning by Judge Torrance. Mrs Hawley'5 lawyers believe they can present facts which will cause the judge to be lenien1 in imposing the maximum penalty for man slaughter, which is 10 years in prison. Mrs Hawley, who has exhibited remarkable nerve during both trials, was not the least affect ed when the verdict was announced. She is con victed ot shooting and butchering Mary Nun son, ot Shelton, December 2l, 1891, and at tht first trial the jury disagreed.

A FEW REMARKS.

We have not got the largest stock of monuments and head stones in New England" We are not selling our stock at a tremendous sacrifice" Neither are we giving away monuments and headstones. Our pile is hard ly large enough yet to stand that. But we are selling a first class article at as small a mar gin of profit as is possible. The railroad improvement at strat- ford destroyed our turnout and made it impossible to receive any stock there by rail and we were obliged to remove our en- tire plant to Bridgeport. We shall continue to keep up the high standard of excellence the old Stratford Granite and Mar ble works have attained during the past 10 years. We have no inferior stock on hand and we will sell it at a fair price. Our draughtsman will furnish you special designs and, as we cut our work here, you can watch it's construction in every detail if you choose to do so. Come and see us and be convinced that we are telling you the truth.
