Mrs Rogers proved an object OF

face covered with a veil while being

Glastonbury Man Who Shot a State Policeman Last
 Night.

East Glastonbury, Oct 1.-After hay ing spent a good portion of the night searching the woods for John H Whipple. who is wanted for shooting Samuel J. Starmer and Policeman Louks, Deputy Sheriff Sheffield and 3 posse of twelve men resumed the work this morning.
 The searchers are heavily armed be- cause, should they encounter Whipple it Is believed he will jput up a stiff fight.
 Whipple seems to elude the officers with great success as soon as he strikes the woods. 1t is there that he ran after shooting Starmer. Last night he returned to his house and Pc liceman Louks, learning of his pres ence, went to the house with several others for the purpose of capturing him. Whipple was away when the party reached the house and Louks oe- cided to wait for him. When Whipple returned Louks attempted to place him under arrest, but the fugitive from justice quickly whipped revolver from his pocket and sent the officer to the floor with bullet in his right thigh He then dashed out of the house and escaped into the woods Louks fired his revolver several times at the retreating form, but none of the shots took effect.
