POLICE COURT DOINCS
Boys Accused of Stealing Pockstbooks
 Were Discharded.

The mysterious disappearance of Tony Ffsh's pocketbook containing S45 was the cause of landing Peter Meara and Joseph Commerford in the police station last evening and being charged with theft in the city court this morning. They were defended Dy Attorney Lynch. Fish runs a shoe blacks chair near the Arlington house on Bank street. He testified that he had two pocketbooks in his hip pock- cts, one of which contained the S45. He was shining Meara's shoes and while doing so Commerford and an odher were joking and jostling him. someone asked him for a nickel and 1 then he missed both pocketbooks.
 Robert Bourke, small boy of neat appearance, testified that he saw one pccketb00k fall out of Fish's booker. He picked it up and Commerford took him up an alleyway near by and opened the pocketbook despite Bourke's remonstrances. When he saw some papers in it he said it would be worth Keeping, but on finding that the papers were of no value he gave it back to Fish. It was then Fish felt of his other hip pocket and found the pocket i book gone.
 Officer Noonan testified that when Fish accused Meara of taking the missing money, Meara tried to strike him. But for the officers presence there would have been more trouble. Meara stoutly denied takingAhe pock- etbook. He said he has lived here two years and that lis home is in Hart ford. Both accused were found not 1 guilty.
 Michael Lane was fined $10 and costs for intoxication. and he was in- Tormed by Judge Burpee that when he next appears in court he will he charged with habituaI intoxication.

LEFT GAS TURNED ON.
Two Hen Were Asphyxiated at New
 Haven.

New Haven, Oct 12.-A verdict of accidental death by asphyxiation was rendered by Medical Examiner Bar nett of West Haven to-day. after view ing the bodies of John B. Harlan and Peter Samuelson, which were found yesterday in Harlan's home on Wall nut street, West Haven. Dr Barnett finds that the men were out visiting on Sunday and apparently had been drink ing. They returned to Harlan's home that evening. Apparently one of them failed to turn off the gas properly after extinguishing the light and the vapor filled the bedroom in which both men had laid down to sleep. They never awoke, and their bodies were found yesterday by an congressman who had gone to the house. The appearance ot the bodies indicated that both men died during Sunday night. Harlan lived alone in the house. and it is thought he asked Samuelson, who boarded a short distance away, to stay there over night. Harlan was 75 years old and Samuelson 55. The lat ter had no relatives here as far as known, while the former has a son l who has been visiting his sister in Thomaston.
