General Chemical company, with an Office
In New York city, was mystcriously given
a death wound from Il pistol bail while
lying in bed during the night the guest
OF his brothcr-n-law, Charles \. Hitler
SO mysterious was the case from the out
set that Deputy Coroner Pond opened an
inquest at police headquarters following
"A long and searching inquiry during the
day at the Hitler homestead at III College
street, almost directly opposite East Ri
vinity. a dormitory of Yale.
Mr.. Edwards was found dying in his
chamber by Charles A. Hitler He had re-
tired about II o'clock last night after at
tending birthday party in honor Of his
sister, Mrs. Samuel Harris, who is a cousin
Of former President Timothy Dwight Of
Yale. Early IN the day he had come over
from New York for this special purpose
and of late he had been a frequent visitor
here, usually a guest of Charles a. or
n. MaXcy Hitler. both brtohers-in-aw
He retired apparently in the best of spirits
His failure to appear at breakfast led
Charles A. Hitler to 60 upstairs. Accord

locked and going in he saw Mr.. Edwards
apparently unconscious from what was at
first thought to he a stroke Of apopIcxy.
a little later Benjamin II. Cheney, NJ D..
reached the house, but Mr.. Edwards was
then breathing his last. In the course Of
his treatment of the dying man DR. Cheney
found bullet hole in the left side Of the
head, directly behind the ear The hemur-

the bullet had gone directly into the brain

Sensations Hinted At.

DR.. Cheney said tonight that when he ar
rived at the home Mr.. Edwards was dead.
Mr. Edwards was dressed i'm his under
clothes There were black powder marks
on the left ear of the dead man, according
to DR.. Cheney, but there was no sign Of
powder on his fingers. 1t was stated to-
night by one close to the situation regard
ing the alleged differences between the Hill
lers and Mr.. Edwards that about three
weeks ago Mrs. Edwards came to New
Haven. and at that time there was trouble
over the settlement of the estate of the
elder Mrs Hitler, who died a few weeks
before IT is alleged that Mrs Edwards
called at police headquarters for a police
man to accompany her to the railroad sta
ton in order to protect her from the threat
cned violence of certain members of the
family. The police tonight state that the
case probably will develop into one of the
most sensational IN the annals of crime in
New Haven. \ police guard was kept over
| the Hitler homestead tonight, no one being
allowed to enter the grounds. \. Maxcy
Hitler is quoted tonight as saying that he
| believes that Mr.. Edwards died as the re-

New London Shut Out in Pitchers Battle-Ge of Baseball

New London, May 5.-For team
 of ball tossers with pennant aspira-

 about as discouraging an exhibition as they possibly could. They were
 stacked up against the Waterbury
 ex-tailenders and Waterbury won. ? to o.
 The main cause of defeat was an elongated youth named Treat; Par
 ker Treat. He circulated round with Meriden for several years ere ating more than his share of trouble with the batters of the circuit, and this year he appears in Waterbury, making the same old difficulty New London was not able to hit Treat a little bit--that is, when to hit Treat meant runS
 Warren Mclaughlin was opposed to Treat and did not acquit himself so poorly. He held the Waterbur- ians to six hits.
 The scoring started in the third. Treat landed on Mclaughlin for a single and scored when Rankin made 8 mess of McAndrews' safe drive to center. Rankin let the bound get away from him and had to chase the sphere while Treat raced home and McAndrews, who tried to stretch the error into three bases, was nailed at third on a relayed throw. McCabe flied to Rankin Swander put up a high foul which Refrange caught against the boards of the grandstand.
 X Waterbury scored again in the fourth. Nichols opened with a two base drive to right center. two base drive because Long did not go after 1t and because Rankin, who was hustling onto the very edge of his territory, fell headlong in the chase. O'Hagan's sacrifice advanc- ed Nichols to third and he scored on Wagner's long fly to Rankin. Bak- CT grounded to Mclaughlin, who covered first himself.
 The only feature of the fifth was stupid base running by New London and triple play by Waterbury. Waterbury went down in order. Re- frange again drew transportation and got to third on McLaughlin's single, the throw to third letting Mac get to second. Willie Keane hit to Wagner. who threw over to first. Mclaughlin was coached to run and he was down close to third, while Refrange was hesitating over his course of action. After dallying un- til Keane had been retired at first Refrange started back to third and was thrown out. Mclaughlin was so much disgusted that he stood in the base line and allowed Wagner to touch him. The score:

The following clippings from two Providence papers show how George Lachance Is holding down his posi- ton in that team:
 The Providence Tribune speaks as follows:
 IL came near being an error for Providence when Krueger got a hard bounder from Smith and threw wide to first. Lachance. however. stuck out that glove of his. hauled the ball in with one hand and then jumped on the bag just In time to retire Smith. lt was a great play.

 D. K. Douglass, the defender, who
 failed to win even one set in the chal-

 the English woman had wrenched her

 to visit London and defend the cham pionship against the winner of the tournament on the Wimbledon courts. Before sailing for England the Amert- can girl has arranged to compete in
 many of the eastern tournaments. In this round of play she will be accom- panied by at least two and possibly three of her sisters, all of whom are experts with the lawn tennis racquet. It is expected that Miss Florence sut- ton and Mrs. Bruce, a married sister. will surely contest in several of the meetings in Philadelphia and vicinity in May and early in June. The three who plan to visit Philadelphia have recently been playing in the early l tournaments on the Pacific coast. notably those on the Coronado courts, In which they came through tc the finals.

< William Thomas, pitcher fdr the
 Buffalo Baseball club of the Eastern league. disappeared from his state- room on the New Haven liner Richard Peck yesterday while on the way from Providence to play game against Jersey City. Thomas's under. ciothlng and baggage were found in ms room and it is therefore certain that he was only partly dressed. Man. ager George Stallings and the other members of the club are unable to ex- plain his disappearance, and they and me steamship company officials searched vainly for him. Thomas shared the stateroom with Jalaski, an- other player, but was not missed un. Ill the boat reached New York. He may have fallen overheard.

NEW STATE LEADER.

Norwich leads the Connecticut Base Ball league. Congratulations are III order and there should not be any delay as the honor is not liable to last long. Hartford and New Ha- ven are fighting for second place. Waterbury and New London are tied Tor fourth place. Springfield and Bridgeport are down near Holyoke, which has a good grip on last place. Treat, the old Meriden pitcher, did good work for Waterbury yesterday and outpitched Warren Mclaughlin, one of the best men on the New Lon don stan. Danny Coughlin, the pride of Bristol, won his game for Bridgeport, although Holyoke pushed him hard.
