Waterbury evening Democrat., 1895-06-18


 tiOn coach drove up and stopped in front of the door. Three men alightcd. One was Michael F. HcnncsSy, q young law yer; the other Samuel F.. Farron, also n lawyer, and stocky man of medium height, who was exceedingly anxious to keep his identity secret. The lawyers have an office at $50 Fulton street, Brook lyn.
 The three mon entered the police sta tiOn. Mir. Henncssy told the sergeant at the desk that he had been retained as counsel for William Henry and asked that he be allowed to sec his client.
 You cant sec him, :" said the sergeant
 "Why not?"
 II have orders from the captain not to permit anybody to converse with the pris- oner"
 But 1 am his counsel"
 Cant help it. Those are my orders ["
 Then the lawyer explained that tho man of mysterious identity was an old friend of William Henry; that he had retained him as counsel, and as such he had an in disputablc right to visit his client. But tn" sergeant turned a deaf car to his words and adhered to his original refusal
 Theory of n Missing Will.
 The police are still working on the the ory of a supposed missing will. and that the murder was committed while the old man was engaged in a quarrel with some one. Superintendent Mckclvry said that he was convinced that Henry was killed on Wednesday night and not on Thursday, aS the police first supposed, Later in the day the superintendent said that he had two witnesses who saw William at the house of his father on Wednesday night.
 Anything in the way of positive proof the police, so far as is known, do not pos scSs. It is all circumstantial evidence The chief cause of suspicion against Will liam at present is his conflicting stories as to the way he spent his time on the day of the murder and before and after it.
 The existence of the letter is another cause of suspicion. The burden of it is directed against William. Both he and Henry say that their father wrote tho let ter, which brcathcs hatred toward the elder son and speaks of William being en- gagged in plot against his life.
 The police are nOncOmmittal in regard to Walter. but they have taken the precau- tion to know his movements intimately. Since his fathers death Walters sole in tCrcst has been ccntCrcd upon the money.
 There arc several peculiar circumstances surrounding Walters speech and actions in the last few days which have not been lost on the authorities and from these cir cumStancCs it may be said that wherever Walter goes he does not travel alone.
 While the funeral was in progress yes tCrtlay morning William was arraigncd in the Myrtle Avenue court. At the re quest of Detective ScrgCants Delehanty and Bcarly he was rcmandcd to await the pleasure of the police. The trunk and treasure at about the same hour were talk orO tn ,Nla ;,, charge of the property clerk.
 The Widow at the Funeral.
 Mrs. Maria Henry, the little shrivclcd up old woman who bore the abuse of her miscr husband for 30 years uncomplain- ingly, appeared at the funeral yesterday and was the object of curious yet pitiful comment. She came to the house in a carriage from Mrs. Kcarney's Sanitarium
 ''Thc poor little woman has a new dress for the first time in 20 years, " whisper ed sympathizing neighbor.
 It was true. The miScr's widow, who has been starved and threatened and even beaten at times; who had to depend upon the charity of neighbors for a pair of shoes in which to get away from the house from which her husband had thrust her, was at last clothed respectfully.
 She is very short, very frail and very feeble. She wept little during the serv- ices, and when she came out leaning heav- lily on the arms of tho nurse and of her son Walter she tottcred at the head of the stoop stairs and would have fallen but for her attendants.
 It was said that B years ago, before her spirit had been thoroughly subdued, she began an action for divorce against her husband The present Police Justice liar riman was her counsel. The suit was finally dropped, and her husband pad the lawyers fces-$20-protcsting bitterly as he did so. Several times in the last 20 years Mrs. Henry made up her mind to bring proceedings to compel her husband to support her decently, but she always weakened at the last moment, just as she did on Wednesday when she and her son William were in Justice Harriman's court for that purpose.
