The DINING Room.

The dining room is about 13X13,
containing Il bay window and win
dow facing the piazza and further on
is the door leading to the hallway

a flight of stairs leading to the upper
apartments. In this room there were
the dining table sideboard, stove, sew
ing machine, other dining room furni-
ture and pOtted plants in the windows
and altogether was one Of the most
cOZy and at the same time commOdiouS
rooms farmers family would care
to have. 1t was in this room that the
final stages of the tragedy were en-
acted, for apparently Chas. Northy
stood on the threshold of this door
when he received the bullet wound
that caused his death. Tottering and
stunned he turned toward the rocking
chair beside the piazza window and
fell into it.
The wound bled profusaly, there was
evidence of it on every hand, the floor
to the fore and side Of the rocker be
ing u mass of clotted blood, the wall
paper too. being spotted. Becoming
weak from the loss of blood Northy
fell to the floor, the head rest falling
under his head and in this position he
was found when DIR. SWith and Chair
man Graw arrived on the scene.
IT was here, too, that the young man
WIS latter lain on a mattress taken
from A he'd upstairs and where at TAO
O'Clock, Tuesday night. he passed away
without having reGaincd consciousness
to have spoken the words that would
have explained this sad eliminating
point in his young life.
Later after he had passed into the
great beyond. his body WAS placed i'll
4 is room to be viewed by the authori-
ties and here the autopsy was per-
formed.
This room was far from being in an
orderly condition. the furniture having
been placed hurriedly in the efforts to
make the victim Of the shooting COM
Portable.

Edwin Cooper's Story.

Edwin j. Cooper, owner of the place
on which the shooting occurred, told
the story of what he knew of the trag-
edy, in the presence of Journal rep
resentative, today. His story seemed
straightforward, as though there were
nothing left back, that is, at first
glance, but when it came to minute
particulars and the stating definitely
of a fact, it seemed to the writer that
his memory failed him.
Mr.. Cooper is Il man of apparently 81
years Of age, tall, somewhat slender
in build, but one of those strong, rug
ged frames secured by devotion to d
chosen calling at the forge. His reputa-
ton mas stood the test of Is years of
life at South Windsor four corners. He
came here Il few months after his mar
riage and located on one of many
abandoned farms" and by economy
and strict attention to business, added
Improvement to Improvement and, to-
day, the buildings are as good as the
best in this section.
He has always borne the reputation
Of being square and is a well-known
attendant at the Methodist church, his
wife being member.
His story of the occurrence gives lit
tie of what led to or in fact. anything
about the quarrel, but it appears that
he heard and saw NOrthy come to the
house at noon. Tuesday, sometime be-
tween the hours of L and 1 o'clock He
had done this before and Cooper did
not think this an unusual occurrence.
He kept busiIy working away at his
anvil. with his 3-ycar-old son, Ralph
with him, and about an hour and a half
after he saw Northy, he heard a
scream and coming from the shop
caught his wife in a swoon about four
rods from his shop door ana some 10
rods from the house. Soon after a man.
whose name he does not know, came to
the shop to have work done and he
sent word to the authorities.
Asked whether he heard any shots
fired, he said he might have, did not
remember. Other particular features
Cf the happenings of the afternoon were
phasers to him.
Cooper has been married u years.
and has three children, Nelmar, aged
10; Leila, aged IA and Ralph, aged 3
years.
Early this morning, after having
passed the night under the surveillance
of the authorities. he accompanied
Deputy Sheriff Pinkham around the
grounds and showed a marked willing
ness to aid the officers and it was by
his knowledge Of the sideboard that the
missing box of cartridges We're found.
During Mr.. Cooper's morning visit
under the watchful care of the sheriff,
he was not allowed in the house fur
Their than the shed door. but passed a
greater part of the morning walking
about.

STERN coREAN POLICY
Said to Be Contemplated by the JAP
anese Home Authorities.

Victoria, 3. c., oct. IA dispatch
from Toxic by the Empress of Japan
states that stern Corcan policy is to
be adopted by Japan following the an
nouncement Of the Anglo Japanese
treaty. COrean publicists state freely
that since tile treaty guarantees the
freedom Of Japan in its prosecution
Of Corean interests the shadow of
Corean government will shortly be
swept away and practically suzerainty
over Corea established. Several Jap
anese papers state that foreign minis
tiers in Corea will probably be with
drawn shortly.
A Yokohama paper says a part of
the Manchurian army may be quar-
tered in Corea instead of being with
drawn to Japan as a concerted upris-
ing of the Coreans, abetted by officials
of the Corean government is consider
ed too imminent possibility TO be
treated lightly.
The recent attacks upon japanese
administration ir Corea by two news
papers published by Americans at
Seoul have angered Toxic politicians
and there is a demand for their sup
preston.

The Other Rooms.

In the rear of the dining-room was
the parents bed room and while the

the clothes being punched and the
pillows rufflcd. On top Of the bed
We're q hat thrown carclessly on the
clothing and further hat pin sticking
in the clothes. The beds in the other
rooms were in the same condition and
this was explained by the fact that as
Mrs. Cooper carried the children to the
district school and returned late in the
morning found her parents paying a
visit and then later NOrthy's call made
her late in her daily duties
The parlor on the lower floor the
next room in the front hallway, was
well furnished with a piano and ordi-
nary parlor furniture, showing the
occupants of the home to be neat and
tasty in establishing a coy home.

everywhere prevailed. There next to

Association, in annual session here.
The subject was brought before the

name Society.
Miss Anne S. Hall of Cincinnati,
startled the convention by proposing
the adoption Of a resolution favOrinG
legaliZing the administration Of anaes-
thetics to persons dying in agony. Miss
Hall said there We're often incidents in
time Of railway wrecks WI en- trainmcn
and passengers were so injured that
their lives could not possibly be saved.
In such cases Miss Hall thought it
ought to be permissible to administer
anaesthetics to relieve their sufferings.
She also favored the use Of anaesthct-
les when persons were dying of incura-
BILE disease in which they suffered ago
n.y. After a discussion the resolution
was ruled out.
