BoTHERING THE POLICE.
Fenr AbstraAtjons of Papers From
DR. GuSIford,r House.


Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. 23.-The police
were chagrined this morning when they
learned that during the night some one
had entered the home OF Mrs. Nancy
Guilford, the local doctress under suspi-
cion of completely In the Yellow Mill
Pond crime. When Mrs. Guilford left
this city so suddenly on Tuesday, Sep
tember l3, the day following the discov-
cry of the dismembered body In the pond,
she closed and locked every door and
window In the house. The police are
troubled because they fear that some one
entered the house and carried off some
discriminating article the property of the
doctress.
Her hunchback son. Harry. who made
an effort to enter the house yesterday
was captured. He evidently wanted some
thing in the house very badly as that
was his second attempt to enter the
place.
A detective working on the case said
today that Mrs Guilford's every move
ment was watched. and that the local
police can have her arrested within an
hours time. He said she might be brought
into the case later.
Walter Foster Charles Plumb and Har-
ry Guilford are stiil held at police head
quarters.
Supt Birmingham said this morning
that it was probable Plumb would be re-
leased today. The obvious purpose of the
police in arIesing Plumb was to secure
from him some valuable information
which he possessed. Although he told
several falsehoods at first, he finally came
to the conclusion to tell the truth and
clear himself, which he did.
A strong chain of crcumstantial evi-
dence is gradually being forged against
Foster. He was the man with whom Miss
Gill was infatuated. TheE were seen in
each others company frequently. When
Miss CHI left her home in Southington
for the last time she had been traced by
the police to New Haven.
While in some house on the outskirts of
that city she was visited frequently by a
young man whose description tallies with
that of Foster.

Paris, Sept. 23-The following appears
I'm the Herald's European edition:
The schemes of the Spanish clerical
party have divided the Filipinos beyonA
the hope of reconciliation.
On Sunday, when the Archbishop of
Manila went to Gaco to administer the
rite of confirmation, a party of rebels
attempted to kidnap the prelate. The
success of the plot was only prevented
by the interference of the American sol
dfers who are stationed there.
The purpose OF the kidnapers was to
take the archbishop to Mololos, where
Aguinaldo is holding four Spanish priests
as prisoners.
Seven F'ilipinos were detected yesterday
at Santa Ana, with money received from
some Spanish priests. They were arrest
ed on a direct order from Aguinaldo. de-
spite the protest of Pho Pillar, the COM
mander-in-chief of the district. They VIII
