MARK TWAIN'S HOUSE SOLD.
Former Residence in Hartford Disposed
OTTO Richard NJ. Bissell.

HARTFORD, Conn. May MARK Twain's
house in this city WAS sold to-day to Richard
NJ. Bissell, who recently came here from
Chicago to become vice. president OF the
Hartford Fire Insurance Company. The
property has been on the market since
Mr.. Clemens returned from Europe few
years ago. and while the price paid Is not
made public it was probably about $40, 900.
Since the house was built, in 1874, by Mr.
Clemens it has been one of the show places
Of the city 1t is on Pennington avenue
on the steep bank Of a branch OF the Park
River, and the house itself hes some ma rked
individualitie Of architecture.
One Of these is that 1t backs on tho
street" the part nearest the avenue being
the kitchen. The door to the main build
ing is on the other side OF the house. 1t is
built Of red, black and gray brick and would
attract attention apart from it's being the
residence OF the celebrated humorist.
Mr.. Clemens and his family occupied the
place until business reverses came and he
went abroad in 1894. His friends here had
hoped he would return to Hartford again,
even after it was learned that he had bought
place on the Hudson but the sale OF this
property puts an end to the hope.

THE TRIAL OF DIR. KENT.
4 Letter OF Miss DinEle's Showing Her
Love for Nr. Grant.


ROCHESTER, May DIR. George H.
Grant was recalled by the defence in the
DR.. Kent trial this afternoon, but the pros e.
cution made capital out Of his testimony.
Two Of the most important letters in the
ca.e were given out to-day. They were
written by Ethel Dirale 20 DR., Grant and
both breathe the greatest devotion to him.
They are dated June IS, 1902. Here is one
Of the letters:
RIVERSIDE HOSPITAL. June ls. ls0?
Good morning. darling George many happy
returns OF the day, with all the love Of my
heart and lots OF kisses. Lovingly. ETHEL.
Two days after these letters were
written. Kent first went to- River
side Hospital in place of DR.. Weed and met
Miss Dngle. Ethel became infatuated with
him and lost her affection for DR.. Grant
The letter skaters the defence's conten-
tion that at the time Kent met Miss Dingle
the girl had lost respect and love for Grant.
1t also places Grant in much better light
before the public.
Joseph A. O'Gorman, a member Of DR..
Kents college fraternity testified that
Kent had engagements for a week follow
ing the crime. 80 he could not have con-
templated suicide.
Lloyd A. Drake Of Buffalo, who new Miss
Dingle, testified that Miss Dingle came to
his office on the Saturday of the tragedy
weighed down with despair. She exclaimed
Il believe III get revolver and blow my
- brains out This remark startled
Drake, for he had never heard her use such
language before.
she also told him, he testified, that Grant
her fance, was pursuing her; that she feared
him, that her relatives had found out her
relations with Kent and that there was
nothing for her to do but to die. Drake
told OF taking vial OF chloroform from Miss
Dingle after a struggle.

as she ever expects to get again.
