This Angered Milo Mead, Who Went to
Law to Break Up an
Excursion. .-

GREENWICH, Conn. Aug. 23.-All OF
the inhabitants Of the western end OF
the town of Greenwich. including ByraH
Shore. where the Mallorys, Joseph MI
bank and other New Workers Of wealth
summer. are laughing about how the In
dependent Citizens Association fooled
Milo Mead. the Sage Of New Lebanon"
as ne calls himself. and had an enjoy
able excursion which he had planned 10
break up.
Mr.. Mead IS eccentric. He lives in
East Port Chester but insists on calling
it New Lebanon. This spring Charles
Grigg, a contractor, had a freight boat
built a City Island, which he named
Milo Mead. That gentleman loaned
| Grigg 5000 in acknowledgment Of the
honor and took a mortgage.
No Good Sunday.
Saturday word was brought to Mr.
Mead that -he Citizens Association was
going on an excursion on the Milo Mead
on Sunday. ana already had her stocked
with beer and other drinks.
Mr.. Mead sent at once for Lawyer VII
liam Ferris 70 see how h, could stop it..
The lawyer told him to attach the boat.

his trouble and release the attachment

Richard Morreu was the constable

Mead Certainly Hot.

in possession all Saturday night. When

Should Need Arise.

IF a need for more men should arise,
l will give the strikers an opportunity TO
resume work-that is, II they still q sire
TO return.
"The alleged promise that no non
union men would be employed on the
work Is unwarranted. Such promise
would be wholly unconstitutional and
certainly did not make and know abso-
lutcIy nothing of any such promise
Captain SeweH said that at present
about thirty-five men were employed at
the barracks. and that the work was
progressing both rapidly and satisfac-
torily. The men employed a present are
all non-union men and are both whites
and negroes. Most of them are said to
have been brought here from other
cities

CAPTAIN SEWELL EXPLAINS
When Eeeded He Will Give Union Men
a Chance Under Conditions
Prevailing There.

Permission to resume work on the new
War College was withheld a trife too
long by the Bricklayers' Union. and rs a
result its members are unable TO obtain
the desired encouragement at the
arsenal.
Captain Sewell. when seen at the bar
racks this morning. said:
None Of the striking bricklayers have
returned TO work; there Is no employ
ment for them. Had they decided to
come back sooner, l would have been
glad to re-engase them, but at present
l have ell the men l need. and, as they
are ali competent. I have no intention Of
discharging them without a very good
reason

Brought to Trial.

Investigation by the coroner showed
traces Of arsenical poisoning IN May
bricks stomach. and Mrs. Maybrick was
arrested on her sick bed and lodged in
the Walton Jail MaybriclE had been in
the habit Of doctOring himself with ar
senic for stomach trouble. At the post
mortem examination arsenic was found
in the liver.
Mrs Maybrick was brought 10 trial
on July 81 before Judge stephen, who
seemed to already have shown a predis-
position against her. The trial. which
lasted six days, showed that Mr. May
brick had three months previous 70 his
death purchased $50 grains OF arsenic for
medicinal purposes. and by the last day
Of the trial, public opinion, which had
hitherto been against the prisoner, de
Clared her innocent.
Judge Stephen, in his charge TO the
jury however. left II little choice, and
after being out about half an hour IL
gave a verdict Of guilty.
Judge Goes Crazy.
Mrs. Maybrick was then sentenced by
Judge Stephen 10 be hanged. 1t was only
a short time after this that Judge Ste
phen was declared insane.
Public opinion voiced itself so for
chilly that Home Secretary Matthews
committed the sentence TO life impris-
onment. which in England usually means
twenty years.
For fifteen years persistent efforts
here az we'll as I'm England were made
to secure the wOman'e release, and the
United States Government even took up
the case. With five years deducted for
good behavior, Mrs Maybrick served
the fun sentence. She was released
about a month ago.
She comes 10 this country on a ticket
OF leave which was granted on her plea
that she had 10 be here to present her
suit for the recovery Of her right IN

II IS rumOred I'm Richmond that the
friends OF Mrs. Maybrick used this

/ opinion so much I'm her favor in both
