Last week,

and surrounding towns of the honest
old peddler, Simon Miller, will be
interested in the following story from
the Waterbury Republican:
Simon Miller's condition at the Wa
terbury hospital is practically unchang-
ed, though he has been talking more
freely during the past few days than
at any previous time during his con-
tnement there. Miller's most inter-
estipg utterances were made last Fri |
day to Philip Aperian, peddler who
lives at 81 School street. He seemed
to be able to talk intelligently for the
first time, and reiterated his former
allegation that Jacob 1sraelOvitch, the
missing Hebrew, was the man who shot
him. The first words that Millerspok
last Friday were an inquiry as to the
health of his wife and children. He
then asked Aperian for his books, in
which he kept an account of his bust
ness as a peddler. When he learned
that they were safe, he seemed more
at ease and gave brief account of the
attack made upon him. Miller said
positively that the only man whom he
saw on the Thomaston road was Israel
ovitch. He says that Israelovitch
halted hist Miller's) steam and demand
ed his money. Miller promptly turned
over $40 to him, supposing that was all
he had. His assaIlant then knocked
off his hat and when Miller stopped to
pick it up, shot him through the head
and took silver dollar from his pock-
ct. Miller insists that only Israelo-
witch assaulted him, or at least that the
missing Hebrew was the only man
whom he saw. The police, however,
are watching very closely man who is
said to have been with Israelovitch on
the day in question. 1t was reported
the day after the assault that a black
haired Hebrew had been seen with
Miller, driving the team to Bristol.
The police of this city have found a
fectly and are watching him closely.
1t is commonly reported that Israelo-
witch has left this country and return
to his old home in KroZ, Russia. The
man who is now under suspicion is said
to be in frequent communication with
Israelovtich and it is believed that he
knows the missing Hebrews where
abOuts. He has been ordered to re-
frain from visiting the home of the
; IsraelOvitch family and is under the
: strictest surveillance. David Miller,
the son of the victim. has come to this
city regularly once week to visit his
{ father at the hospital. Yesterday he
was refused admission on account of
the smallpox epidemic. Miller's wife,
whose eyesight was seriously impaired
by excessive weeping, has been entire
ly cured. She was treated in dispen-
sary in New York and though her attlic'
ton was at first thought to be serious
the case readily yielded to treatment
