GOODS WERE PACKED.
Hrs. Carnsey Was Ready to Depart

The suit of Mrs Belle Garnsey against John Moriarty to recover pos session of rent at 153 East Main street from which she claims to have been forcibly elected was tried before Judge Peasley and jury in the dis trict court to-day. Attorney c. G.. Root appeared for the plaintnL and At torney CarmOdy for the defense.
 Mrs Garnsey testified that the apart ments were first rented by ain insur- ance agent named Dennis ]. Sullivan, that he subsequently boarded with her and sometimes he paid the rent and sle allowed him for this his board. His last payment was made in December when he fled the town taking with him. she claimed. $50 of her money which she had given him to keep for her. She entered suit against him for this and attached his property in Nau- gatuck.
 After Sullivan's departure she said. she hired the rent till April or May but admitted that she had not paid any rent. On March % she claimed to have been elected Attorney Car moly made her admit that at tnat time she had most of her goods packed up ready for moving and that she had sold some to Patrick Lunny.

NAN IS HAPPY.
Her Lawyer Says Case of Prosecution Has 2
 Fallen Flat.

New York, April 27.-Unless the prosecution has some striking bit of evidence discovered since the last trial and which has been concealed thus far, Nan Patterson's fate probably will be entrusted to the jury on the case as presented by her accusers. After yes terday's session, when PawnbrOker Lyman Stern failed to identify either J. Morgan Smith, Mrs Smith or Miss Patterson as persons who were pres cnt in his store when the revolver, which killed Caesar Young was pur. chased, Abraham Levy, Miss Patter- sons counsel, said he was convinced that the states case had fallen flat. Man Patterson needs no defence" said MT Levy after conference with his associate counsel. "The defendant will go to the jury on the case as made out by the state when Assistant Dis trict Attorney Rand closes the testi- mony." MT Levy added that Miss Patterson was not in favor of this pro- gram-that she wanted to go on the stand again, tell the jury her own story and herself try to convince them of her innocence She will not be per mitted to influence the conduct of the case this time, as in the previous trial, however.
 If the prosecutor follows the course of the previous trial, as has been done up to this point, the only important witnesses remaining to be examined are Mrs Young, the widow of the dead bookmaker, and John Millen, his rac- ing partner.
 It Is probable, however, that the let ters seized when the Smiths were ar- rested in Cincinnati, which did not ap- pear at the last trial, will be put in evi- dence. What these letters contain is not known to the public, but 1t is sssid that among them are several letters written by Nan Patterson to her sister after the flight of the Smiths. These letters are expected to throw some light on the reason for the Smiths hur- fried departure from this city and their alleged determined efforts to evade agents of the district attorney. who were searching for them.
 An interesting over night develop ment was the statement given out by Mrs Fannie Shapiro, wife of an east side dentist, in which she claims 10 have been within a yard of the cab when the shot was fired and signihed her willingness to go on the stand and swear that Young held the weapon which caused his death.

TROLLEY WAR.
Local Company Trying to Keep the
 nilldale Co. Out.

It is amusing to see the Waterbury Business Mems association and the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go at war oyer trolley extensions which everybody knows the people of Water bury want. So far as can be learned the trolley magnates are the only Op- ponents of the Waterbury Milldale and ThOmastOn tramway companies, and while the new companies may win out in the end there are many who claim that the opposition hold the trump card and that the others won't be in it at the rounding up. In any case the Business Mems association must feel rather sore at the conduct of the local company, for it puts them in position where they find 1t hard to explain some of the statements they made to the city government last year with refer ence to trolley matters. One of their communications addressed to the board of aldermen and the department of public works eulogized tlie company in glowing terms and laid the lash onto former officials for what was termed hostility to the company and the use of tactics which deterred it from giving Waterbury the service demanded. Iii fact the company was made to appear as sort of martyr in the hands of interruptions politicians and the bust, ness men thought it time to call halt and give the company a free rein. They had their way and the company took advantage of the situation to get all it wanted and when it got t'e'se things then it stopped short and winked at the men who had done so much for it.. At first some of the trolley wOrshippers didn't think the company meant to go back on them and could not be made to see their error until they found it cutting the ground from under their pet hobbies at Hartford. Now they have nothing but hard words and kicks for the trolley people, but the trolley does not care about them. It made them serve a good purpose ana its officials laughed and made merry with them until they reached the part ing of the ways, which was the first point where something was suggested that would help Waterbury and yield nothing to the local trolley.
 The Connecticut Railway and Light ing Co is all right, but those who think it is doing anything for the sake of Waterbury are deceiving themselves. By the way, what became of that seven and half minute headway!

WAS STONED.
New Canaan Farm Hand Whose Body Was Found
 in Brook.

New Canaan, April 27.-The farm hand, Domino Kradizcimo, whose body was found in Mill river by trout fisherman, is believed to have been stoned to death. The autopsy has shown that the man died of concussioh of the brain. There were six wounds on the head made evidently with q blunt instrument, and on the bank of the stream near where the body was found were some stones smeared ap- parently with human blood and hair.
 The theory of the authorities is that the man was sitting on log not far from the river bank when he was felled from behind with q stone. that his skull was then beaten in with other stones and his body. after the clothing had been searched for money, thrown into the water. When the body was afterward found face downward in the mud at the edge of the stream, the shoes had been removed from the feet, probably'by the murderer in his search for the money. KradizcimO was finished svOrking at the Ashhill farm last Saturday night, and had received three months wages. No money was found in his clothing when the body was discovered.
 The local officers in their investiga- ton have found spot about POO feet from the place where the body lay on which there is a large stain which looks like blood. There were some blood covered stones near by and also vest which is believed to have be- t. hn hn1 faf, of blood on it and was probably dis carded for that reason. The mur- dered man himself wore no vest, and when his body was found his coat was buttoned tightly.
 Some tracks leading from the Dashill farm buildings to the scene of the murder were also plainly visible to the searching party. One set of tracks was made by shoes similar to those worn by the murdered man. while the others were the imprints of rubber boots. Rubber boot tracks leading back to the farm buildings were also found.
 Frank LOckus, the farm hand who is under arrest at the village lookup, has made no statement except to deny any knowledge of the murder. Ac- cording 10 the officers. q pair of rub Der boots said to belong to Lockus fitted exactly into the tracks at or near the scene of the crime. and the vest found nearby is said to have been his property According to other peo- ple at the farm. Kradizcimo left there Saturday night. and Lcckus was also ahSent during the evening returning about o'clock. Other farmers em- ployed there spent the evening in tine village. but it is said that Lockus was not with them.
 Coroner C. \. Doten came here to- day to personally conduct the investi- gation. He was notified of the mur- der yesterday. but decided to wait un- til the autopsy had been performed be fore coming here. In the autopsy. Dr ID. R. Keeler, the medical examiner. was assisted by Dr Huntington of Norwalk-

THREE CORNERED
Senatorial Fight is Now on The Assignment of
 Wages Bill.

Hartford, April 27.-The senatorial contest for successor to the late Senator Platt, is on in earnest. At a joint conference held this morning many prominent republicans from all over the state, discussed the claims of their men. It is generally recognized that pending legislation will not re- ceive much attention until the success sor of Senator Platt be elected. This morning the opinion was expressed that the contest has narrowed down to Ex-Governor George B. Mclean of Simsbury and Senators Fessenden of Stamford and Paige of Bridgeport.
 A serious blow to persons who lend money on assignment of wages, was dealt by the house to-day in the adop- ton of a bill which requires the ac- ceptance of such assignments by en- ployers by their signatures and the filing of copies of the assignment WIT" town clerk and employers. Represen- tative Waller of New London char acteriZed such people as loan sharks.
 The following measures were favor ably acted upon: Resolution extend ing the time of the organization of the WatertOwn and Litchtield Tramway company; bill providing for appeals to the supreme court in criminal cases; resolution providing for the filing of reports of county commissioners on September 30 instead of July 30, each year.
 Concurrent action was taken in the senate resolution which was adopted providing for memorial to Senator Platt.
 The senate passed favorab1y on the following: Bill providing for the com mitment of insane persOns detention of witnesses in criminal cases and against discrimination on account Of color.

 BANKRUPT.
Bank President Makes Assignment
His Liabilities Are More Than Two Million Dol- lars - Assistant Cashier Still Missing.

Milwaukee, Wis, April 27.-The peo- pie of Milwaukee awoke to new sen sation to-day when the announcement was made that Frank G. Bigelow, the defaulting bank president, had filed a petition in bankruptcy with liabilities aggregating over $2,0O0,O0O and assets near the million and half mark. The fact that banks, which are the largest creditors, are placed in the list of se- cured creditors had tendency to quiet the nerves of the people who have de- posits in the city banks. Offers of assistance continue to pour in from all parts of the country to the First National bank, although the time has passed away when any outside aid is necessary. No trace has yet been found of Henry G. Coll, the deposed assistant cashier.
