Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-06-28

After years of litigation the end of the affairs of the defunct Watertown Savings bank is in view. Before Judge Curtiss in the superior court in Winsted this morning Burpee and Carmody appeared with proposition from the bondsmen of B. H. Mattoon the treasurer of the bank. who caus- ed the trouble, to allow them to Aug ust 1 to pay up some $13,000 bal ance on a judgment against them and give them the management of certain property belonging to Mat toon which the bank had under at- tachment. The court approved of the proposition and an order on that basis went into immediate effect. By this arrangement the bondsmen hope to be able to recover some of the money which their gurantee for Mat toon's honesty cost them.

ed tomorrow. The reading began d.
rectly after court opened with Clar-
enee Darrow and Senator Borah alter
mating for their respective sides and al
though they pressed ahead as fast as
they could, folio calculation made just
before adjournment tonight showed
that much of tomorrow would be con-
sumed by the affldavits. The deposit
tons have an important bearing on the
case.
The dispositions probably will furnish
much material for contention when the
trial reaches the argument stage, One
objection from the state constituted the
sole interruption for the day. During
all the rest of the time, counsel for
both sides seemed united in getting all
the matter in the sworn statements
before the jury.
The state counted it victory that
Bradley had receded from his first and
positive statement that 1t was a gas
explosion and was prepared to believe
that a bomb might have been used.
Bradleys first statement was made be-
| fore he knew Of Harry Orchards con-
! fession or any Of the evidence placing
! orchard in the vicinity Of the house.
The prosecution was also pleased to
have it show that Wyte Bradley was
still inside the door when the explosion
occurred and that particles of glass
from the door fibres from the rug out
side the door, and pieces of stone and
cement from the mosaic floor of the
vestibule were blown into his face and
body It will be contended that this
shows conclusively that the explosion
ewas from the outside and it could not
have been gas from the inside of the
house.
The defense on the other hand is sat-
isfied that the dispositions show that
it would have beeen impossible for Or
card to reach the vestibule and place
the bomb in the manner and time des-
crlbed by him; that theevidence shows
that a gas leak was the cause of an
explosion and that Orchards testimony
as to his movements in the rear of the
building when he says he poisoned the
| milk is shown by physical conditions tic
be unlikely.
The delap by the length Of the Brad

in his own behalf until Thursday morn.

Around the immense arena of the
Pacific ocean the embattled nations OF
the world are gathering, as the nations
gathered around the Mediterranean two
thousand years ago. Careful observers
will universally agree that the great
events of the twentieth century proba-
bly, will be occupied with the rim OF
this vast saucer.
War between Japan and America is
almost unthinkable. We believe the in
tentions Of the statesmen OF both coun-
tries to be profoundly pacific, and that
the incidents at San Francisco are not
responsible for the movement of the
American fleet. Japan commenced the
war with Russia, without previous dec
laration, by destroying half the Rus
sian fleet. Such q move was very effec-
tive the first time it was performed,
and henceforth no nation will wait for
formal declaration of war, but will be
ready TO strike while there are yet no
signs of a diplomatic rupture
THE cautious and wise statesmen d.
recting American policy are not violat-
ing prudence in deciding to concentrate
their forces in the region where the eye
can detect the menace of the obscure
horizon"

Warden Garvin Of the state prison
was to-day asked his opinion of the
present bill. He said: I'm 1899 I APP

was then pending to have the transfer
of convicts made by prison officials

wholly from the standpoint of the
prison. l showed that just enough
officers were employed at the prison to
attend to the regular and ordinary
duties Of the institution and that to
send prison officers to various parts Of
the state to bring convicts to Wethers-
field would create frequent and tenn
porary shortages of guards at the in
stitution. This argument, which was
sound in 1899, Is equally sound in 1907.
From the prison point Of view the sit

an embarrassment to the institution tc
take officers away from their regular
work for the purpose of bringing pris-

"An Act Concerning the Powers OF

is as follows:

sTnANGhrp TO DEATH.
william Owens Fell I'm ApopIectic Fit
and suEocated.

uhu
Bridgeport, July s-William Owens,
a machinist employed by the Liberty
Cycle Co., died this morning in his
room at $50 State street, under such
peculiar circumstances that it was at
first believed that he had committed
suicide by strsngulatIon. An investiga-
ton by Medical Examiner Downs later
brought forth the fact that death was
due primarily to stroke of apoplexy,
and that strangulation was induced by
the cramped position into which he
fell when the fit overlook him.
Owens was discovered about o'clock
this morning. doubled up in narrow
space between the bureau and bedstead
of his room, with one hand clutching
a window curtain which had been torn
from its fastenings. His face was to
the wall and his neck was bent back at
a sharp angle. A curtain cord about
his neck gave rise to the theory of
strangulation, but an examination Of
| his remains proved that he had been
attacked by apoplexy
1t is believed that Owens felt the att
tack coming upon him in the night
He arose and went to the window to
get some fresh air, and when he
reached the window was overtaken by
the fit and fel Ito the ground, tearing
down the curtain as he fell. His body
was wedged in the narrow space be-
tween the bureau and the bed, and
| suffocation, due to his cramped posi-
ton, may have fastened his death.
Mrs, r. Mahoney, who Is house,
keeper at the place, discovered Owens
remains about o'clock this morning.
She thought he was not dead, and
summoned the ambulance corps. DR..
Ives, who responded, found that the
corpse was cold and that death had
taken place some hours previously.
In view of the suspicious circum-
stances he reported the case to Coro-
ner Doten and Medical Examiner

Newport, R. l., July SHREVEPORT to-
night bore an unusually martial ap-

the army and navy forces stationed

city. In the bay were two torpedo
boat flotillas of the Atlantic feet. the
first submarine fotllla, and the sub
marines Octopus and Cuttleflsh, togeth-
er with the monitor Arkansas of the
naval cadets training squadron. On
land, in addition to the usual forces at
the forts, were two regiments of Rhode
Island National Guard, the First regi-
ment at Fort Grshle, and the Second az
Fort Adams. The militia were put
through hard work to-day, including
many kinds of drills.
The troops at Forts Adams and Gre
BILE were called to arms four times in
readiness to repel an expected attack
from the enemy" and once again
early in the evening. During this last
call the searchlights picked up the
quartermaeter's steamer Charles w.
Rowell, one Of the "enemy-s" ships,
about seven miles out to sea, and the
guns of both forth were trained on her.
After several rounds Of blank ammuni-
tlon had been fired the enemy was

lacking fleet could not be located, how
ever, at the time and the officers
thought that landing might have been
effected.
