JESUS MONTENEGRO DISCHARGED
The Victim Of Circumstance sand An-
 other Mans Imagination.

Jesus Montenegro, who was brought down from Beardsley Thursday night by Deputy Sheriff Cunningham and King, was given an examination yes terday before Justice Burnett and was discharged. He was arrested on the story of a Mexican who had acquired some facts and drawn some other con- negro knew more than had been told concerning the tragic death of ApOloniO Nendez, whose bocy was found on the Santa Fe track near the Yuma road on August 27. The story as it had been woven together was suggestive and plausible, but the explanations offered by Montenegro. both to the officers be- fore he was apprised of what he was wanted for, and to the court, quickly dissipated the shadows that had been thrown upon him.
 The infOrmer. whose name was not learned by the officers. said that on the night of the 26th, when Mendez came to his death. AIendez, Montenegro and another Mexican named Hernandez had been seen standing together at a late hour ir Phoenix. The next day Hernandez and Montenegro were ask ed to go to the undertaller's and iden- tify the body of the dead man. They did so and said it was that Of Men dez. The inforner also said he had heard a story told by a boy who had overheard a conversation somewhere in which it was related that the three men had left town together for Glen dale; that BIendez was drunk and quarreled with Montenegro, who would not fight nim. whereupon Her nandez became disgusted and killed Mendez by hitting him over the head with a club. He said further that Hernandez left town a day or two later and his whereabouts is not known. It was also alleged that since that time Montenegro has been trOu- bled with nightmares, insomnia and a general fear of strangers. Another statement was that at the time of the Identification of the body Montenegro was very much agitated. rubbed his eyes and seemed greatly disturbed.
 When the deputies reached Boards ley they immediately took him into cutody and asked him what he knew about Mendez. He said he knew him and had ident tffed his body. His hab- it's were those of a drunkard and he never associated with that kind of people if he could help it when they were drinking. He said there was no special intimacy between him and Mendez and he knew him only as fellow cOuntryman. On the night of Aug. 26 he said he was in Phoenix with his wife and that they had a room at the Central hotel Though he is not a drinking man he is an invet
 crate gambler and after taking his wife to the room he went to a saloon and tried his luck at the various games until probably 4 o'clock in the morn ing when he rejoined his wife in their room. About midnight or 1 o'clock in the morning while he was gambling, Mendez came into the saloon and bOr- rowed a dollar saying he was going to start to Glendale where he was

working on the section. lie never saw him again until he was in the morgue. Early that day, and before he had learned of Mendez' death himself and wife had gone from the hotel to the home of Hernandez, who was his friend. and it was there that a mes senger summoned both of them to identify the body They did so and he related Cwithout any previous hint concerning his alleged agitation on that OccasionJ how he had been affect ed by the odor of the embalming or other fluids used by the undertaken as the body was then being cared for by that dignitary He said it made ihs eyes smart and as he had to get close to see in the dark room it rath- CT affected his breathing and he had to withdraw for fresher air. In respect of Hernandez he said it was true that he had left the city and he does not know where he is now
 After this questioning and knowing he had several hours to wait for train, he lay down at the depot and went to sleep as naturally as a baby, having said he was no criminal and was willing to go to Phoenix to clear the matter up. He had no nightmares that afternoon nor did he display any
 
 the section boss said they had never noticed anything peculiar in his con duct.
 While one of the officers guarded Montenegro, the ether visited the mans wife in their home nearby. She had not heard of her husbands arrest and knew nothing of the mission of the officer who questioned her as he had her husband. She told a story that cOrroborated his in every partic- ular that she could possibly have had Knowledge of, even to the time of his returning to the room on the night of the 26th of August. The opinion of the court was that the story of the infOrmer while very uniquely told and quite interesting. had no foundation in fact.
 There is a bare possibility that Her nandez had something to do with the death of Mendez, but it is remote, as he was accounted for the next day and after all the body of Mendez looked just like a man ought to who had been pushed off the track by train.

MANUAL TRAINING
May be Established in Crosby High
 School.

1t is said that before night school opens next fall that a manual train ing course will have been established in Crosby High school. 1t has the consideration of the members of the board of education and Is favored by Superintendent of Schools Tinker. At the present time there is no kind of trade taught in Crosby either at the day or night session. The manual training course has been talked over several times but as yet no steps have been taken toward starting the pro- ject It was said that the school would be extended back to Water street before long for this purpose, but this idea seems to be dead just at present and new plans are being formulated. In Hartford and other large cities drafting. engineering, all points about machinery, etc, are taught in the High schools and are taken advantage of by the young men. especially those who work In the fac tories during the day, getting the practical side of the work and getting the theories in school at night. At the present time the stenography de- pertinent in High school has a large number of pupils and a manual rain- ing course would undoubtedly be q successful undertaking.

As the Nylic fund did not have that amount of money to spare the New York Life advanced that sun to Kidder, Pea body & Cd on Mexican Central rail- road bonds which were deposited by the Boston company. The Life h. surance company received interest at the rate of per cent on loan as profit on the transaction and the Nylic got $40 193.

Insane Woman Who Shot Her Husband at South
 NOrwaIk.

Westport, Nov 27.--Mrs Edward Gustafson, who fatally shiot her hus- band ill sudden attack of insanity at their home in South Norwalk. Friday, committed suicide early to-day in the Westport sanitarium. Taking advan- tage of temporary absence of the nurse of her ward, Mrs Gustafson tied her night robe about her neck and then throwing a loop of it around q post of her bed, lay her weight against the moose and died of strangulation.
 Mrs Gustafson was committed to the sanitarium last Saturday for safe keeping pending court hearing, there being no suitable place for her ill South Norwalk. She was suffering from acute melancholia and exhaustion due to her all night wandering about the country. before her capture by the South Norwalk police. Sunday her though she still showed signs of de- spondepcy. The death of her husband which occurred early Sunday morning ill the Norwalk hospital was not made known to her.
 About 3 o'clock this morning the nurse who attended Mrs Gustafson ill the sanitarium ward made call at the patients bedside, and found her sleeping soundly to all appearances. Half an hour later the woman was dis covered hanging by her night dress from one of the bed posts, and an ex- animation showed that life was ex- tinct. She had evidently watched her opportunity to take advantage of the absence of the nurse on her rounds.
 The medical examiner was sum- moned and rendered formal verdict of death by strangulation, self-inficted. after which the body was prepared for removal to South Norwalk.
 Mrs Gustafson had been i'll for seV. eral months, but most of the time had been able to, attend to some of her household duties Recently she had shown evidences of dementia due to her weakened physical condition,

Itywas some time before anybody came along who knew him, although his daughter. who is an employe of Elume & Atwood's,/ with others, watched from the windows the crowds of people who came along to see what was the matter, but of course she had no idea that the body was that of her father. Later it was identified and ordered removed to Mulvllle's morgue by Medical Examiner Crane. Mir Howard leaves widow and son and daughter. Thomas and Elizabeth.

JURY ROOM PROTECTED
Double Door Put on To-day-In-
 trudsrs to Be Kept 0ui.

On account of the newspaper episode following the murder trial of Ciriaco Capobianco. who is under sentence Co be hanged on February 27 for ihe murder of Angelo SOlomita. double door has been pun on the jury room in the superior court. At all times rhe jury room has been open. but it will be so no longer.
 The door will serve another pur- pose. IL will no longer be possible to hear a murmur of what Is going on in the room while the jury is deliber- ating. Heretofore. one had only to sit on the jury bench and obtain pretty good idea of what was gong on inside. for 1t was quite easy ro hear the jurors discussing the evil dence. and 1T there was any argument or warm discussion. one need not even sit on the jury bench.
 It was not on that account. how ever. the second door was found ne- cessary. though it keeps all sound within. It was on account of finding the newspaper In The waste basket the day after the trial and thereby furnished grounds for an appeal iron the verdict and probably delay in car. rying out the sentence Of the court.

PAGAN" TOWN IN ENGLAND
Village of 1,7o0 People Who Seem to Have Gone Spiritually
 to Sleep.

Pagan Hook" is the name now en- joyed by the quiet little village of Hook, which is situated some three miles from Kingston-on- Thames.
 So lost in indifference Is this village that the vicar, the Rev. w. M. Ding we'll, has thrown up the cure of the parish in despair, says recent Lon don report.
 T have worked hard here for nearly three years" said the vicar, in an in- terview, land 1t seems largely in vain. have spoken to the people personally and have implored them to come to church, but they will not do it.
 No effort, either spiritual or ma terial, no concert, whether high-class or extremely popular no branch of church activity that have been able to devise or carry on will induce the people of Hook to come to church.
 There is population of 1,700 peo- pie, but many of them absolutely re- fuse to attend church. In fact, only 200 out of the 1.7OO have attended church, and some of these even are not Hook people
 The fact is that the village is splr- itually asleep. They do not go to non- conformist places of worship, nor do they go golhng or motoring. They have simply gone to sleep and they do not give thought to spiritual things. !"
 The vicar has now departed for the West Indies on holiday voyage.
