THE BARLEY CASE.
Attorney Williams and Witness in
 Several Wrangles.

The second week of the hearing of John Earley's appeal from the ruling of the probate court in ap- proving the will of his wife, Susan, began to-day. Mir Barley had no sooner taken the stand than he was in a wrangle with his cross exam iner, Attorney Williams of Derby. Barley denied forging his wife's name to check for $50 and hav- ing the check cashed at the Citizens bank. This seemed to surprise Mr Williams and he asked Barley if he had not asked his wife for $5 and she telling him she did not have the money if he did not then go and forge her name to check for $50. This Barley also denied and it cre- ated no end of fuss between him and counsel
 This afternoon the evidence dwelt on the condition of Mrs Ear ley on July g, 1906, when she made her will and on the morning of September 22, 1906, when she died.
 Attorney Cole was endeavoring to show that on July g Mrs Barley was not in a mental or physical condition to make her will and on the morning of September that she was under the undue influence of her sister, Mrs Maria Mcdonald of Thomaston when in codicil she revoked the legacy she had left her husband and gave him instead a one-third life interest in the proper ty and the balance to her sister for | life.
 These questions were objected to but they were ruled in and the an- swer was that on both occasions Mrs Barley was not in fit condition to make her will It looked this af- ternoon as if the case was good for this week.

VANDERBILT DEATH
Considerable Dissatisfaction is Found Over the Report of
 Coroner MOke.

Princeton, N. J., May 19.-The dissatisfaction shown by some of the authorities of Mercer and Mid dlesey counties with the decision of Coroner Charles R. Moke of the lat ter county to the effect that Miss Bertha Vanderbilt, the assistant il the library of Princeton university whose body was found in the Rari tan canal yesterday, has been ac, cidentally drowned is creating a new interest in the case. Dr James L. Suydam of Middlesex county who last night made superficial examination of the body, made a more complete examination to-day and coneurred with Coroner Moke that the young woman's death was accidental. The parents of Miss Vanderbilt who live ill Amsterdam N. Y., and who are here to-day to take the body to their home, are sat isfied that the young woman met ar accidental death and say that all autopsy is unnecessary. Chief ot Police Kilfoil of Princeton is moi satisfied with the coroner's opinion and has declared that he is inclined to believe that the girl committed suicide. He favors as does alse Prosecutor George Bodine of Mid dlesex county the holding of an au' topsy to clear up the case.

 iiOn With Graft Scandal.

Indianapolis. Ind, May 19.-John F. McGaughey, aged 55 years, for mer member of the board of county commissioners to-day shot and killed himself at his home in Irvington be- cause of the connection of his name with scandal which has developed in the office of the commissioners.

In this the Atlas company is charged with paying a bribe of s3,S00 to the commissioners. | Emmett Hugins, former bailiff, in a confession stated that he gave Thom- as Spafford, commissioner, $500 O. the $3,S00 to be given by Spafford to McGaughey.

MANNERS IN TOWN.
Man Who Started Building Lot Boom
 on Town Plot.

Thomas R. Manners of New York, the man who converted a large sec- ton of Town Plot from pasture lots into handsome building sites, and put up several houses on them, is back in Waterbury for a season and says he has plans under considera- ton to spend considerable money on Grandview Heights this summer, provided he sees disposition on the part of the powers that be to do something towards making improve ments mp that way. He likes what has been undertaken, but nc wants to see these projects put through so that the property owners may be put in a position to go to the manage ment of the trolley company and re- quest them to run cars up there. something that cannot be done until the Clark street job is finished. Mr Manners Is thinking of crushing sev- eral thousand tons of stone and put ting them on the streets or Grand view Heights. If he does this peo- pie who own property in that part of the town will want to build right away, trolley or no trolley.

O'BRlEN DISCOVERY
Ohio Doctor Says That He Bas Discovered tbe Germ of
 Paresis.

Massillon, O., May 19.-In the laboratory of the Massillon state hos pital, Dr John D. O'Brien to-day re- iterated statement made by him before the American Medico-Psycho- logical association's convention at Cincinnati, that he had discovered the germ of paresis and that the dis ease is curable. He summed up the result of his experiments in these two declarations: That paresis un- doubtedly is germ disease and that the germ has been discovered; that while in the experimental stage suf- ficient tests have been made to show that paresis is curable and that he has specific cases to point to as defi- mite results.
 Dr O'Brien does not believe it would be proper to make public the names of the patients whom he claims the treatment has cured, out he gives the specific cases as news paper man of Washington, D. O., who was treated for paresis and again is at work, cured man; civil en- gineer of prominence in Nashville, Tenn, who is cured and at work, be- sides number of people in Ohio who were brought to the hospital with severe forms of the disease and cured. Others who are now at the hospital still under treatment arc showing marked progress toward re- covery.
 pr O'Brien has at hand, in addi- tion to his own statements and re- ports from hospital authorities in re- gard to the successful treatment of paresis, patients photographs which show he hysterical form of attack when brought to the Massillon State hospital, and the patients when dis charged from the hospital as cured.
 T know" said Dr O'Brien, that 1t is bold statement to make that the germ of paresis has been discov- cred. People may doubt it. Many scoffed when the germ theory of diphtheria and tuberculosis was advo- cated. We feel warranted from the number of cases treated and from the Tsatisfactory results of the experi- ments made in stating without quail fication that paresis is germ dis ease. We also feel that, from the work done, We have found the bac- cillus. We have cured patients, are helping many now and expect to go forward with the work
 Dr 0'Brien has confined his work to living subjects; no pathological in- vestigation has been done on post mortem subjects. He now has germs in cultures" Since Dr o'Brien read his paper at Cincinnati he has re ceived many letters from doctors urg- ing him to receive patients for treat ment for paresis. Acting on the theory that the disease was similar to that of tuberculosis or diphtheria that germ might be found which would yield to serum treatment, Dr 0'Brien began his experiments by taking serum from the spinal col umns of living patients. With this he treated dogs, rabbits and rats with results which proved to him that the animals inoculated contracted we'll developed forms of paresis. In turn he used the treatment on human patients.
 Dr o'Brien was graduated from the Jefferson Medical college. Philadel- phia, in 1903. He has passed four and a half years at Massillon State hospital in hospital and laboratory work.

KILLED ON TRACK.
Unknown man Met Instant Death on
 Cheshire Line.

A car in charge of Motorman Err nest Stubbs and Conductor Frederick Pierpont last evening about o'clock struck a man on the Cheshire line and instantly killed him. The acci- dent occurred a short distance be- yond Stupidity" bridge near the ball grounds and on the private right of way of the Connecticut Co.
 Who the man is is mystery and up to press hour no one had called at Lunny's morgue to identify the corpse. At first the dead man was thought to be Burr Johnson but 1t was soon learned that 1t was not Burr. Just, as soon as Thomas Lun- ny saw the body he declared that it was not Johnson. and others who knew Burr asserted later it was some one else. i.
 It is thought that the man, who was about 55 years of age. was on his way to this city from Bridgeport.
 Ii Is presumed that he was blinded by the glaring headlight which the cars carry outside the city and that In his haste to get of the rails he walked right into the car. He was on the outside rail when the car struck him. He was hurled to the ditch below. some twenty feet, and when the car reached him he was dead. He had a bad scalp wound, three fractured ribs. broken collar bone and several bad bruises.
 The man wore black cheviot suit, black soft shirt, a black tie and a good pair of shoes. He had sandy colored moustache and brown, hair. On the right arm were the initials U. S." tattooed between the wrist and elbow. A mark on the collar of his coat showed that 1t had been bought from Sam Harris of Bridge port.
 Medical Examiner Crane ordered the body removed to Lunny's morgue where 1t stirl remains. It will be held in all probability for a few days.
 Medical Examiner Crane places nc responsibility for the mans death on the car crew.
