Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-05-21

stranger beIore, and that the man told him of friend named Bill Ma loney, and he came to see if this was the same fellow, but it was not. Ma loney says the man hung around some time talking to the prisoners, but he did not pay any particular at- tention to him. He evidently got hold of the name of one of the prison CTS and then carried out his scheme with another of them, if, indeed, he is the man who put up the poisoning job.'
 Wright asked that Warde should publish the facts in the Gazette and place him right before the public, the jailer corroborating all he had said
 During the afternoon Warde ran against John Holcombe, the city editor of the Journal, and asked him how he got the points about the sui eide in jail.
 Jim laughed and said: ''I scooped you badly on that, didn't I, old man? That item was a bird.''
 But have some curiosity, Jim, to know how you got it. Who gave it to you?"
 T can't tell you that. The party who put me on made me promise not to give him away. He also made me promise not to go to the jail for it. Said he thought the authorities were trying to keep it dark, as it occurred shortly after supper, and nothing was known of it-at least not for publi- cation-at the station house at mid night I
 He made great guy of you, who- ever he is.''
 "What do you mean?"
 Why, there is scarcely a word of truth in his story from beginning to end. The man did not try to commit suicide, and your report that he is not expected to recover is all bosh. l found him sitting up in the jailer's office smoking cigar this morning" tsss We'll, I'll be damned! If find out that have been imposed upon in that way I'll wiring the neck of that little skunk!''
 "Who is that?"
 'sWhy-no; that won't do, Warde. |. I won't give him away until I've given him chance to, explain himself"
 Holcombe departed in a brisk ,dud- geon and Warde sought the office, where he found Fenton awaiting him
 .tI got what I wanted this morn ing,'' he said.
 'Tell me- said Warde.
 Mrs. Wright said that her nearest { neighbor, kind-hearted widow by l the name of Mrs. Anderson, had been there at poon to take care of her child while she visited her husband Just as Mrs. Anderson was about tc take the child away Mrs. Wright had examined the pistol and called Mrs l Anderson's attention to the fact that it had not been shot off for long time. I then went to see Mrs. Ander' son. She remembered the pistol very well, and knew where it had beer placed. The ivory-handled revolver was net the weapon she had seer I there. But Mrs. Anderson had some other facts. She had seen a mar coming out of the side door of the Wright house and she accosted hin and told him there was no one in al present. He replied that he hac found that out and would drop 1T 1 again when Mrs. Wright was at home I Mrs. Anderson had thought nothing further of it until she was told about the pistols"
 Did she describe the man?"
 t'Yes; she said he was rather stoutly built man with probably { couple of weeks beard on his face and that he wore red flannel shirt.
 ''Fenton, you have done splendidly and if you will agree to help me fur ther, we will unravel one of the deep est-laid crimes ever planned in thi' section of the country"
 -"I'll help you any way that can
 ''Then we will win the game yet
