FELL FIVE STORIES
Hartford JaDitOr Had Bis Life
Crushed Out Early This
Morning.

Hartford, Feb ID. X. Chmsten-
sen, a janitor in the employ Of The
Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
company, met dreadful death early
this morning as a result of the ice
glare. His life was crushed out by fall
ing five stories from the insurance
building to the sidewalk, distance
of over 100 feet.
The unfortunate man was about to
clean one of the windows which opens
on balcony. As he stepped out on
the ice covered stonework his feet
shot from under him and he was car
ried by the momentum of the fall
across the edge of the balcony, which
is not protected by railing like those
on the other floors. His fall to the
sidewalk was witnessed by several
spectators. The body revolyed in its
flight and after hitting the sidewalk
continued to revolve. Death followed
in very few minutes Christensen is
survived by wife and two children.

EGAN in MEXICO
Sent Word Home Of His COnver.
salons With Walker--Lalter
Smokes and Drinks.

William F. Walker, who stole
$565,000 from the Savings bank of
New Britain and who robbed the
Connecticut Baptist convention, Of
which he was treasurer, and who
forged signatures to mortgage notes,
is having the time of his life in tno
jail at Ensenada, Mexico. Thomas
F. Egan, superintendent Of the state
police, is at Ensenada to bring
Walker back as soon as the Mexican
government turns the prisoner over
to him. The states attorney has
heard from Egan.
Mr. Egan, who called on Walker
at the Jail in Ensenada, saw him
smoking cigarettes, drinking wine
and later smoking pipe: States
Attorney Arthur f. Eggleston got a
letter from Mr. Egan yesterday In
which he said he had conversation
with Walker which lasted about an
hour. 1t was while he was at the
Jail that he saw some of the things
that Walker is doing in the way of
smoking a pipe and cigarettes and
drinking wine. Walker had evident,
ly seen the papers which were pre-
pared by States Attorney Eggleston,
because he told Egan that Judge
Eggleston had some things in tho
papers that were not true.
Early yesterday morning States
Attorney Eggleston got telegram.
from Superintendent Egan saying
that it would probably be fifty days
before he could start on, the return
with his prisoner. The states at
torney Immediately wired Egan for
details of conditions that would oc.
casjon such long delay and he also
wired Secretary of State Root ar
Washington asking that Ambassador
Thompson be requested to assist i'll
pushing matters. To Secretary
Root he forwarded copy of Mr.
Egan's telegram. Egan's letter
came a few hours after the telegram
was received.
Walker doesn't want to come back
to Connecticut. While MIR Egan did
not say that Walker was going to
make objection, he did say that
Walker has lawyers in Mexico. He
had seen one of them, who calls ON
Walker frequently, but he had no.
Spoken to the lawyer at the time no
wrote the letter received yesterday.
The one thing that convinces Egan
more than anything else that Walk
er does not want to come back here
is The fact that he has written long
letter to the governor ef Ensenada,
saying that 1t would be a great loss
to Mexico to allow him TO be taken
from the country, as he, with several
financiers of Los Angeles, was en-
gagged in developing a section of the
country and if he was taken away
Mexico would lose the development
that he and his moneyed friends had
been interested in.

LEAP YEAR RELIEF PARTIES.
Self Sacrificing Club to Save Members
Threatened With Marriage.

Ever since the first of this year a
number Of young bachelors in South
Philadelphia have been living in con-
stant dread lest their friends of the
other sex should take seriously the
tradition about women proposing In
leap year. Unoficially they have
banded together into self sacrificing
club to save any member who is
threatened with marriage. Whenever
one Of their number gets the habit of
calling on young lady on Wednes-
days and Sundays pretty regularly the
remaining members take 1t upon them
selves to protect him.
They quite casually drop in on him
at the girls house. coming In pairs or
one by one, and make it a point to
stay as long as he does, thus insuring
him from a proposal. Thus far this
plan has been successful, but the
young mea are getting fearsome, as
there are now four members engaged
In regular calling. and they have to
split up into four relief parties every
Wednesday and Sunday evening.

Explains.

Hartford, Feb 13.-The appeal Of
Leonard d. Fisk of this city and
Louis A. Fisk of Branford from the
action of the commissioners on the
estate of Eugene D. Fisk, late of
Branford, begun before Judge A. T.
Roraback in the superior court in
New Haven, Tuesday, was continued
yesterday. Mrs Margaret Fish, nee
Dwyer, who used to be the second
girl at the homestead of the late
Eugene d. Fisk, at Sachem's Head,
and in 1894 was married to the
owner of that property, was on the
stand and told how the various notes
signed by her husband came into
her keeping. She said they were
given to her after the birth of chill
dren, one note being for 100000,
after the first child was born, and
$4,000 each after two other chill
dren we're born. The sons of Mr.
Fisk, the contestants, claim that the
100000 note was a pre-nuptial
agreement. They also claim that
their father before his death was
not of sound mind. Arguments were
begun in the afternoon. ~
