SUICIDED IN THE CAPITOL
CLERK IN STATE COMPTROLL- FRS OFFICE HANGS HIMSELF.
Mushroom by Night Watchman O'Keefe-Had Been in Ill Health - Leaves Wife, Three Daughters and Two Sons ln TorrtMgton.

1WO sons kh 4OEEbhStOhs
 Hartford, Oct. 21-John H. Wadhams,
 aged sixty-five years, assistant clerk in | the office of Comptroller Chamberlain, committed suicide by hanging in a washroom in the capitol building this afternoon.
 While making his first round of in spection at 5:35 this afternoon Night Waterman James O'Keefe entered a washroom connected with the comp troller's department and was mortified to find the body of MT. Wadhams hang ing from a hook on the wall. Around the neck was small cord and the end of this was fastened to a coat hook The feet of the clerk were on the floor indicating that the body had slipped ! after the moose had been tied. The watchman found that the body was still | warm, and Medical Examiner Fuller was notified. After viewing the body he announced that death was caused by suicide.
 For a month past MT Wadhams had been in ill-health and within the past two weeks had become quite despond- ent. His home was in Torrington l where he had wife, three daughters and two sons.
 | Neatly folded in the dead mans coat pocket was found 8 note which read: 1 am an embezzler and my son and daugh- | ter, being on my bond, are both ruined. | Have Isaac Brooks bury me in pauDer' s | grave. l The note was unsigned. MT. Brooks, 1 mentioned in the note, is president of | the Torrington National bank. He said | that the note itself showed that MT | Wadhams was mentally unbalanced
 when he took his life. In regard to the statement making reference to embez- | element, MT. Brooks said that, inas- much as Wadhams was neither execu- l tor nor trustee of any estate, it would be impossible for him to become a de- ! faulter There is no money handled in | the office of the comptroller, so that it l would be impossible for him to commit any such crime in the office in which he was employed.
 MT. Wadhams for some time had had a hallucinatio that he was becoming very poor and it is thought that ill., 1 health had weakened the mans mind.

oARRLAGEDRIVERs, UNION.
Held Important Meeting-Deny Asser-8 E fions About Out-of-Town Hacks.

Held Important Meeting Asser-
 tioms About out-of-Town Hacks.
 The Carriage Drivers union held an important meeting last evening and considered many items of importance pertaining to the welfare of the organi- zation. A constitution was adopted and by it's adoption several of the former members were politely asked to with draw as members. This action was made necessary by the adoption of an article in the constitution which makes ineligible for membership every man who owns more than one hack, provided he drives on one and has another per son work on the other or others.
 T The committee which had in charge the matter of securing from the city a license fee for all hackmen reported that the city authorities had declined to grant any such concession. The union will now work for the adoption by the city of a six months residence rule. e.
 After the meeting President Doble of the local union said very emphatically that the union has never made the as- sertions attributed to it, to the effect that it's members would not drive on the occasion of the Junior Prom. at Yale if out of town hacks are used. President Doble also stated that no au- thorized member of the union had made such g statement and that the union was especially desirous that the public and the students understand the mat ter in it's right light.

 the Other from the JaII by an Im- patient MOs-Thc Victims GuiIty of Assault and Murder of Aged Woman
 -Bodies Hang from Arm of TeIs- phone Polo.
 Hampstead, Texas, Oct. 21.-After be- ing tried with legal form and procedure for criminal assault and murder and given the death penalty in each case. Jim Wesley and Reddick Barton, ne- groes, late this afternoon were taken from the authorities and lynched in he public square by an infuriated mob. The district judge asked the governor for troops to accompany the negroes here, from the jail at Houston. At the request of a large number of citizens of Hampstead, who signed a written promise to aid the authorities in pre- venting any mob law, it is said Judge Thompson countermanded his request and the troops did not accompany the negroes.
 Barton was tried first. He pleaded guilty to criminal assault and then to the murder of Mrs. Susan Lewis, aged sixty-three, on October F. The juries in each case on which were several ne- groes promptly returned verdicts as- sessing the death penalty. Wesley pleaded guilty to the murder charge, but while the second trial was going on 3 mob broke into the court room and attempted to take him, having learned that the sheriff finally had ask ed for troops. The mob was dispersed and the trial proceeded. the state put ing through its testimony hurriedly in corrOboration of the plea of guilty. The officers of the court sat about the room awaiting the coming of the troops when there was a sudden movement on the part Of several men in the room. The sheriff was oyerpowered and Wesley away Another part of the mob at- tackled the jail and Barton was sur rendered to them without struggle. The two prisoners were hustled to the public square and there executed by hanging. Neither of them had been sentenced and District Judge Thompson had positively refused to permit them to waise the thirty days of grace al- lowed by law. It was the general de- sire that they die quickly They are hanging tonight to the arm of a tele- phone pole. The town is quiet tonight.

The Stammerina Prisoner.

Former Judge Pimbrick, of Arizona,
while visiting New Yorker few
weeks ago. related an amusing expert
ence which he had in his younger days
when presiding over police court in d
Southwestern town. His story was
something like this:
"One morning an Irish policeman
brought q man named SissOn up for
trial. The man suffered badly, and
when / asked his name he stammered
out, 'S-s-s-s-ss, and then gave it up.
Again asked his name. 'S-s-s-s-ss,
the same futile attempt.
"After few more efforts to obtain
his name, which called forth more
'sisses,' l turned impstiently to the
policeman and asked: What is this
prisoner charged with, officer?"
81 don't know for certain, yrr 'oner, "
he replied, his eyes twinkling, "but |
suppose 1t must be soda water."-Chi-
cago Tribune.
