DR.. LEE NOT GUILTY.
Result Of His Second
Trial For Murder.
A PREJUDICE AGAINST HIM.
The Verdict Was q Just One in the
Opinion Of the Judge.

NEW HAVEN, April e0-After delibsr-
ating one hour the Jury In the case of the
state against DR.. J. z. Lee. charged with
murder In the second degree, returned a
verdict of not guilty. The doctor was
charged with having caused the death Of
Mrs George Miller by producing Q orim-
inal abortion. This II the second time
within six months that DIR. Lee has been
cquittsd Of the charge Of murder.
The hrst case was that In which he and
DE- George K. Whitton, now Of Boston.

inal mslpraotios. The trial Of the FIRST

GOOD RECORD.
A Brother Of Or. SIatteY Of This City is
HlqhlY HonOred.

Highly Hon0red.
There has been quite fight at South
Framing ham, Mass, over the Post master
ship and one of the candidates was a
brother of DIR. Slattery, the High street
druggist OF this city. That the candidate
was truated representative of the people
is shown by the following editorial in
the Boston Herald:
at will be remembered that ex Senator
Slattery, who has just been appointed
Postmaster at South Framingham,
distinguished himself by bis honesty and
courageous action at the time OF the
Beverly Farms scandal in the Legislature.
1t is well that the public should be re-
minded by Mr.. Slsttery's appointment
that men who win by their conduct the
respect of the public are not the losers
thereby. The appointment, therefore,
deserves special commentator for Its ex-
cellence. When Senaror Slattery was up
for re- election he was met by strong OPP
position, fomented by the interests he had
antagonized, but many OF the best people
In his district had been led to form such
a high opinion OF him that the deter
mination to sustain his efforts In expos
ing corrupt methods caused him to
triumph by largely increased majority"
Postmaster Slattery Is we'll known In
this city and the news OF his worth being
recognized was gladly received.

IL seems that another son OF Mr.. Nc
Aloon, Sr., named Felix runs a saloon at
700 Prospect street and while away We'd
nesday installed Stone as bartender.
The saloon Is near st. Mary's cemetery
aud has long been complained OF by the
more respectable neighbors, and for years
Father HalligaD did not want the place
licensed. The wisdom of his advice, It
must be said with sorrow, was unheeded.
McAloon has been prtronizing his own
bar for long time and has kept fellow
named Stone there since last November
until the latter came to think that he was
part owner and boss.
Felix is the son OF James and his father
who Is one OF our most highly respected
old residents, has been trying to straighter
him out.
On Wednesday night at about 6:15, Mr.
McAloon went from his own house near
by to the sons to see what he was doing
The son and Stone, who, by the way, is q
Canadian, was talking. Stone afterwards
started to fill the lamps when Mr.. Nc
Aloon told him to mind his own affairs
and that he would fix the lamps. Stone
went into back room and spoke to young
McAloon and came out and inImedi-
ately grabbed a big club and ordering

nerve and muscle OF the hardy old
gentleman won the "stick." In the scuffie
both got some bruises. The fight con-
tinued out into the street and James Nc
Aloon, Jr., seeing his father in the fig hit,
ran up and saved him and separated the
combatants. Stone has made complaint
for assault against both and II Is prob
able that the old gentleman will have him
arrested.

trees, ash, birch, buttonwood, cedar chest
nut, elm, hickory, maple, oak and pine
were voted upon. The counting of the

carrying the day by small plurality.
The watering Carts.
The streets OF the town are as dry and
as dusty as IL swept by prairie fire ana
storekeepers as well as citizens are anx-
iously awaiting the appearance OF the
watering carts. Surely there is no lack OF
water in town judging by the opinion OF
Rev. Mr.. Chalmers of the Law and Order
League. There Is no reason why the carts
should not be put on before the customary
time, May 1.

TO BE SETTLED TOMORROW.
Alteration Of the Merchants Exchange Build
ing will Cost $4,000.

The matter OF settling the question of
whether the Merchants Exchange build
ing should be remodelled was delayed
several days by the oversight, Mr.. Shell
don says, OF the architect who failed to
state In the specifications that the con-
tractors should include in their bids the
fitting up OF the building with gas and
steam pipes.
The lowest bidder is now at work fg-
uring on the cost OF the same and will be
ready to make statement tomorrow
when the matter will be settled. The
lowest bid was between &c, 900 ana 1917 900
and as there are some gas fixtures and
steam pipes IN the building II is tnoug ht
that the addition to the original bid will
be less than $1,000 which will MAKE the
total about 10000. Mr.. MeiKlejohn is
ready To sign n lease and the whole matter
will be finally settled tomorrow when
another conference of the firm OF Csllen-
dar, McAuslin a. Troupe, Mr.. Sheldon
