New Workers. Country Residence the
Scene of a Double Crime.


Sherman, Conn, Aug. 24.-William
Taylor, employed in the country home
Of w. II. Il. Crittenden of New York,
was shot and killed while trying TO
capture a thief who had opened Mr..
Crittenden's safe The murderer es-
capped. taking $500 and horse valued
at $500
From the fact that Herbert Schmidt, a
fellow employee, has disappeared and
that he was seen riding away on the
stolen horse the police have been asked
to arrest him. He has been traced to
Patterson, ~ Y, where he left the
horse and boarded a train.
Both men were in the house when
Mr.. and Mrs. Crittenden, with Mrs.
Crittenden's parents and a party of
guests, started away for a days out
ing. Several hours later Mrs. Fannie
Lawson Of New York, who had been in
vited to join the party. reached the
house. Finding the house deserted, she
started upstairs to await the return of
her friends.
She found the safe door wide open
and the floor strewn with papers. She
alarmed the nearest neighbor, and Dep.
uty Sheriff Allen saw indications of a
struggle in the room and on the lawn
saw Taylors hat His body was found
near a we'll behind a barn, 10 which il
had been dragged. He had been shot
in the side. and his skull was crushed.
From the safe $500 was taken. and q
horse, one of a span belonging to Mr.
Crittenden's father-in-law, was stolen
from the stable.
I Authorities of nearby towns were no
titled, ana it was learned from Patter
son that the horse had been left there
by man who Tailed with description
of Schmidt
Little is known of Schmidt, as he had
been only three weeks in Mr. Critten
den's service. Police believe he wa:
at work on the safe when surprised by
Taylor. who was attacked by the rob
ber and fought him to the lawn, wher,
the shooting was done.
A letter addressed to Schmidt, bear
ing the postmark Of Buckhannon. w
Va, was received at the house aftel
the mans disappearance and opened
by Mr.. Crittenden. 1t was from
Schmidt's mother, in which she begged
him to return SO he had stolen from ;
friend and to pay for Il horse he haC
taken. She pleaded with him to be
come a better man.
