Greenwich, Conn, Sept. N.-There now
is reason to believe that Mrs. Antoinette
G.. Morrell, who was shot by a house,
breaker on Tuesday morning. not only
will recover from her injuries but also
may be reconciled to her husband, from
whom she has been separated for long
time. After an operation last night by
which a splint was placed in her throat to
hold her wounded jaw In place Mrs. Nor
rell was able to take little milk. her first
nutriment since the shooting. To-day she
drank a great deal more and was allowed
to talk a Bit Several X-ray photographs
were taken this evening and will be de-
veloped tomorrow. With these it will be
possible to trace the bullet. There will be
no more operations Of any sort until the
bullet Is found. Mrs. Morrell has only a
slight fever and in general Is much i'm
proved. The doctors in charge are we'll
satisfied with her condition.
Mrs. Morrell was able even to bear tho
excitement incidental to a meeting with
her husband. Mr.. Morrell and his mother
and sister came to Greenwich this after
noon and had an interview Of half an hour
with her. This was the first time that
Mr.. Morrell had been seen in Greenwich.
in two years. His children we're not at
home to see their father. they being at the
Converse place in Stanwich.
There seems to be an impression that tho
police are looking for some one in the
vicinity Of Cos Cob who may have some
thing to do with the crime. 1t i 8 con-
sidered certain that there was a second
man with the active criminal, and the
Pinkerton men and police officials are
searching for that other person. They
feel sure that in Brown they have one Of
the housebreakers. but they think that II
they have a second prisoner he will be a
man Of wealth.

DR.. L. P. Jones, the family physician, and

lighting time The dentist brought with
him the splint to be placed in Mrs. Morrelrs
mouth to keep the broken jaw in place.
An anesthetic was necessary. While the
three doctors and two nurses were busying
themselves. they forgot that some Of the
window shades1 we're not pulled down, and
they were afterward informed by their
drivers that crowd Of reporters had been
looking through the windows. This was the
only operation Of the night
The reported findiny Of the pistol holster
and the red binding ripped from horse

has been discounted by the fact that q
New ork newspaper reporter is said to
have admitted that he placed the holster
and binding on the road 80 that he would
have a chance to make another story to
send to his paper. An opposition paper
heard of the find after it was reported
to the detectives and got beat on the
one who planned the game. The detec-
tives traced the plant and the suthori-
ties say that a repetition OF such trick
will result in an arrest.
Prosecuting Attorney White said to-
night that Brown had not implicated any
one. ,,,..,, .. .-. 20
Mr.. Converse has offered a reward for
the arrest and conviction Of the other man
in the case-the one whom Nora Flanagan
heard say to the fleeing criminal Hurry
up" The man who did the shooting never
said a word while in the house. and this
makes the Sheriff believe that ne was
afraid he would be identified by his voice.
1t ia said the detectives are trying to
find man who spent good deal Of time
in Greenwich this summer and who was
about the Morrell residence. IL not actually
visitor there. The man was known in
Cos Cob as drummer and he seemed to he
we'll supplied with money. He was about
the Morrell place on the day before the
ASA ult on Mrs. Morrell. and it is said he
was there at daybreak after the shooting
but did not tarrv.
John Brown. who is about to secure
counsel to-day said that he is native Of
Hull, England, but spent most of his life
in Ireland. For several years he was a
steeplechase rider and his work won him
prominence throughout Ireland. He rode
for many gentlemen in Ireland, among
them the late Capt. Mears. In 1903 he was
thrown and hurt his hip so badly he had
to quit riding.
He says he met Kate Tierney. Mrs. Nor
rell's cook, two years ago, and the meeting
was the result OF the Morrell family's in
te-eet in horses. He worked at the Gibson
stables in New York at the time. His earn
ings there were insignificant compared
to what he received as jockey. He ad.
mitted betting on the races good deal OF
late. He says he was robbed Of Sl57 and a
gold watch In Devaney's saloon, 800 West
