FIGHT FOR LIFE
OF THEBAUD BOY,
SHOT BY VALET

year ago. where he was useful as an
interpreter and guide.
Mr.. Thebaud said that Bjorlin had
been a very valuable man in his place,
and that his only failing was an eXces-
sIve fOndness for strong drink. Bjorlin
showed great fOndness for Paul
Ihebaud They became almost INSOFAR
able companions. The boy loved to
hunt, and the valet frequently accom-
panied him on hunting trips
1t was said at the Thebaud home that
Btorlin had been drinking for the last
he would shoot any burglar he saw
without asking any questions.
Planned to Go Hunting.
Paul has been attending a private
school at Pomfret Center. Conn, until
recently Saturday night he went TO
bed early. saying that ne would get up
early today TO go chuckwood shooting.
His mother and father spent the evening
at the Knollwood Country Club. return
ing 10 their home about 1 o'clock in
the morning.
Sunday morning at $50 o'clock, John
Hickey, who patrols inside the Thebaud
home, raped at BjorIin's door on the
third floor, and heard him get up Ten
minutes later two shots We're heard in
that ten minutes the valet had thrown
on a bathrobe and had made mis- way
downstairs TO the boys room.
Tne wound would indicate that the pjs-
tot had been held at about twenty feet
from the boy. The bullet entered the
upper part of his nose, plowed across
his forehead and imbedded itself in the
bone
Then Killed Himself.
Whatever il was that made the Dan
ish valet shoot his young master. it is
certain that he then shot himself He
must have moved closer to the bed than
when he first shot He put a bullet
through his brain and fell TO the floor
dead.
Mr. and Mrs. ThebaUd were awakened
by the two shots. They ran across the
hall, and within a few minutes the room
was filled with the servants. Doctors
were summoned immediately from White
Plains, and later in the day an opera
ton was performed on the unconscious
boy. His pulse vas very weak before
the bullet was removed After that /
there was slight movement, but un-
IaEOTable developments are row feared. |
The elder Thehaud was absolutely at
a 4oss 10 explain the shooting today. |
de said that BjOrlin was always anx-
ious for the welfare Of Paul.
Theories Advanced.
It is reported that Paul tired of the |
attentions of the Dane, and spoke |
roughly 10 him. throwing him into a |
passion OF despair, because he felt that |
he was losing his place In the family az /
fairs Another story is that Bjorlin had /
been drinking heavily, and may have /
placed the revolver at the boys head /
as joke TO wake him
THOSE who advance this theory think /
the pistol was discharged by accident,
ana that seeing what he had done, the 1
Dane killed himself

There was little debate in the senate

Bill No. ia, amending the law relating
to the sale Of binding Irvine from the
state plant, by permitting sales to be.
made outside the state, and permitting
prices to be fixed at other than a .speci-
fed time. Senator Purcell objected to
the amendments as opposed to the or

lTs1cturps Of Seville.

IL is not q s to follow the plan Of MIR.
Albert +. Calvert's Spanish Series" John
lane Company. In the volume on the
Prado museum he provided a great number
Of pictures. which seemed to include every
thing Of note in the collection in hat on the
Escorial the quantity Of pictures exceeded
their artistic merit. but there was some ex-
cuse for most of them. In the new volume
or Seville the reader will be impressed
much more by Mr.. Calvert's enthusiasm
than by his judgment or artistic taste.
There are 300 pictures in this book. II
would seem impossible to any n who has
seen Seville that there could be too many.
and yet MIR. Calvert proves that paradox.
Some Of his pictures are good; some OF
his details are clear enough to be OF use.
but q great many Of them are meaningless;
the photographer had no sense Of pictur-
sequences or Of what was important. Com
plant OF receiving too much would be
undoubtedly ungraoious. but the trivial
pictures exclude a great deal that should
have been included.
For q text Mr.. Calvert supplies an i'm
pressionistic. ~haphazard historical descrip-
ton on which the reader cannot depend
for accuracy. The chapter on art alone.
in which he has Mr.. C. Gasquoyne Hartley's
assistance. has some backbone. He had
the chance Of making a real book OF uni
versal interest and has certainly missed il.
