JUDGE SPEER EXPLAINS
Why He Refused to Entertain Motion
Of Attorney in Hotel Parlor.

OF Attorney in Hotel Parior.
The climax Was reached Weines-
day in the extraordinary fight before
Judge Emery Speer in the United
States court at Macon, Ga, for the
vindication Of City attorney Wimbcr.
ly, Chief Conner Of the police and
| superintendent e. a. Wimbuah, when
Hon. n. =. Harris spoke for the de-
tense. When court opened the at.
tendance from the Macon bar did not
lag, and the court room was c.owdcd
with attorneys and business men who
desired to hear the close
Attorney Harris argued that the re-
versal Of Judge Spcer, and tha: alone,
was sufficient to justify the three al
legged cOntemnOrs in the arrest Of ia
mison on instructions to carry cut the
sentence Of the recorder by putting
him on the chainGang to work out
his sentence. lie said the filing OF
the mandate Of the supreme court in
the local federal court, which proceed
ure Was followed cut by the city at
torney as soon rs the document came
down from Washington, made the re
versal complete, and devoted consid-
erable argument to the possibility Of
Jamison's flight from justice after the
matter had been disposed of in the
federal supreme court.
A most interesting proposition cen
fronted the attorneys for the defense
in Judge Speers statement that the
court was not to be driven into &c.
ton. The assertion was made, as tho
result Of continued reference to a past
incident, that in which Attorney VIM
borly made an effort to be heard on a
motion to make the reversal in the SUI
RENE court the judgment of the local
federal court, and which was refused
by Judge Speer, while he was engag-
ed in the bankruptcy court upon a
matter involving the Plant estate
According to remarks from judge
Speer, he had been invited into tho
ladies' parlor Of the Eanier to pass
upon the bankruptcy matters, when
the city attorney presented his mo-
tion in the Jamlson case. Here, Judpe
Speer said, it would have been nee
essary to bring Jamison before him,
and as he was merely invited there.
and as it was the ladies' parlor, such
would have been very improper, and.
besides, he said, the court could hard.
~ have been expected to take uD
other business at the time. At this
point want of quarters for the federal
court in Macon in December figured
in the discussion.
Assistant District Attorney Aker-
man closed in short argument OF
rebuttal He found himself fred at
from every direction when he began.
Messrs. Hall, Harris and Ol!n VIM
berly put into his logic and law at
very turn, and the last moment wit.
messed an effort from Attorney Harris
to refute the prosecuting attcrney's
statements.
The accused men found sympathy
in abundance and ready assistance
was offered from many members of
the bar. Attorney Alderman fought
the case through alone, and urged the
conviction OF the three men on MANY
legal considerations.
After argument closed, Judge Speer
discussed the case at length and an.
nouncod that he would reserve his
decision.

PROJECT TIE sOnGBIRDS
Cjy Sholld Look Alter the Boys That
 Destoy Birds Nests.

Youngsters and others who keep track of the movements of members of the woodland choir say that song birds never were more plentiful in Waterbury than during the present season and regret that 80 many of them fall into the clutches of cats, weasels, snakes and other providers that do much destruction among the song birds of Waterbury and every other town. Boys, too, destroy large numbers of nests, so that between the whole of them it is wonder that the birds don't get tired of us alto- gether and seek some more congenial quarters to spend the summer months. The bobolinks have their trunks packed preparatory to start ing on the trip south and many oth- CTS are thinking of getting out so that few weeks hence the woods will not have much charm for music lovers. Just why so many birds should be killed here does not appear, except 1t be due to the fact that few take time to talk to boys about the wickedness of robbing their nests and aiming at them with all kinds of missiles.
 Game wardens are also scarce in Waterbury and while we have one club that devotes little time to consideration of the feathered fam- fly, 1t does not reach out far enough to make it's influence felt among the general public, and as consequence the best singing bird gets no more show than one that never warbles a note.

FATHER O'FLYNN DIED POOR. Had . Valuable Library, Which He
 Gave to the Paulist Fathers.

New York, Aug 24.-That Father O'Flynn, who died on Wednesday at St Joseph's rectory, after nearly forty years service to the Catholic church, followed the injunction of St Francis de Sales that a minister of God should live and die a poor man, was revealed yesterday when an attempt was made to make an inventory of his possessions.
 Why, God bless your soul, boy" Father Corrigan, the assistant rector, said, i've found nothing to start on. He never saved a penny. He gave 1t away as fast as he got 1t; and as for his meagre salary, that just kept the house going. He made no will be- cause he had nothing in financial way to leave. The little insurance he carried will barely cover the fu- neral expenses"
 The only thing of material value Father O'Flynn had was his library, an extensive collection of ecclesiasti- cal and general works. This few days before he died he designated should be sent to the Paulist fathers in West Fifty-ninth street. Father O'Flynn was an ardent supporter of the Paulists and their work.
 Whatever money Father O'Flynt had made or had given to him he gave away to the needy poor. The market women at Jefferson market have lost good friend in him. The bulk of his charity, however. outside the congregational work went to St Vincent's hospital. There is a ward in this institution named after him, which he endowed years ago. He had been closely associated with the development of this institution.

BARBER SHOT 10 DEATH
HaItlsId nsn Qssnslsd oIsr Woman and Ono k Dead.

Hartford, Aug 24.-Joseph Prestia was shot to death on Front street this morning by Joseph Ferrainole during dispute over woman. Both men are barbers and work on the east side. The bullet entered Prestia's lung and death ensued while the wounded man was chasing his slayer up Temple street. During the pur- suit he fell on the sidewalk and died.
 FerrainOle was arrested a few minutes after the commission of the crime and was taken to the police court which was in session. and ar raigned on charge of murder in the first degree. He admitted having fired the shot, but the court ordered g plea of not guilty entered and con- tinued the case until Tuesday with out bonds.
 It is alleged that Prestia was repri- manding Ferrainole for insinuations made by the latter against his sweet heart, and that the shooting was the direct result of spirited exchange of opinion.

POLITICAL POINTERS,

At meeting of the directors of the Tammany association last night. the matter of securing a permanent meeting place was suggested. The opinion appeared to be general that the city ought to be able to find the club place where they can hold meetings, and with this end in view the committee on headquarters was instructed to see the mayor and lay the case before him. Nothing defi- nite was done regarding the pri- maries except to decide not to put a ticket in the field, but to vote as a unit for whichever ticket brings out the best men. One of the directors said to-day that 1t was not the in- tention of the society to hold meet ings of the general body in any part of the City hall. but he did think that the directors might be permit ted to meet there, just the same as representatives of other political par ties do, and he had notion that Mayor Thoms will look at 1t that way. The association, he said, has 200 members. every one of whom is an elector. and couldn't be reached by any influence other than the voice of conscience.

! DOG QUESTION AGAIN
AlInal Shot h halglhtk Collar
 Marked [. $. Rodman.

The dog question is forcing itself upon the public again and 1t is likely that in short time the mayor will be requested to issue another order requiring owners of dogs to tic them up. During the past week several persons have been bitten. by stray canines and at the present time ev- erybody who sees dog coming to- wards him gives the animal wide berth. Yesterday afternoon black and tan dog created consternatlon on South Main, street all the way to Naugatuck. It scrapped with every- body's dog 1t met. bit some of them and several persons had close calls. At Naugatuck 1t stirred up such q rumpus that the authorities reported It's doings to the police of this city they were on the lookout for it until and they were on the lookout for It until second telephone mess age from Naugatuck this morn ing stated that the troublemaker had been shot down there, but not until after 1t had nipped half the dogs in the neighborhood and sunk It's teeth into a boys leg. The collar bore the name of c. s. Rodman, Waterbury. There are more crazy dogs about town now than there were when Mayor Thoms ordered them tied up and people walk the streets in con- stant dread of the brutes. They are not muzzled, very few of them wear collars, so that it is out of the question for the officers to get line on them. This is a bad state of af- fairs and whoever is responsible for the health of the community should look to it at once. With one of our public officials taking the Pasteur treatment and private citizens actual " terrOrized on account of the pres ence of so many vicious animals on the public ways, and running into stores and offices. Waterbury has taken on the appearance of frontier town where the inhabitants live in dread of wolves and other wild anil mals and go about prepared to de fend themselves. If the dogs are to be left al large everybody should be permitted to carry arms. If not, many will be at a disadvantage and the town will soon go to the dogs.

IN NIEMORIAM.

(Lines written on the death of Thom- as Sullivan, who met death by drowning Sunday. August 2O.) Grim Death, why didst thou take him To that bright celestial sphere? You severed all his earthly ties
 To home and friends so dear. Scarcely entered into manhood s stage, Possessed of youth and bloom, You ruthlessly assigned him
 To the cold and silent tomb. But one short century's quarter
 Did you mingle with us here. When Deaths cold, icy fingers
 Parted you from all most dear. The loss of one revered by all,
 We sadly now deplore, A friend to all. foe to none,
 On earth he is no more. Loving sisters, won't you miss him? Iris mentally a strain To think of one you loved so dear !. You'll never see again. But the Great Creator of us all
 Unerringly provides A place for those He loves the best With Him In Paradise. Our meeting hall will miss you,
 Where oft we scanned you face. In readiness to act your part,
 Our gatherings to grace. Your ever smiling features
 Will be pictured by us all Until we. too. are summoned
 To answer to that call. Many friends your loss will mourn For many days to come. The sudden news of your demise Enveloped round your home. A veil of grief and sadness
 For those who loved you best. Who laid you gently meath the clay, In your earthly bed to rest. But that Great Almighty Parent Whose wish is always best, Assigned you to better place
 In the realms of the blest. Rest, rest, Dear Brother Thomas, Tn your silent bed of clay, Until we'll meet you once again. On the great Accounting Day.
