WRONG
II, !. EDITOR
Actress Horsewhips a Dram
attic Critic, but She Got
the Wrong Man.

Waterbury, Ct, March 2l.-Miss
Edna Bruins, an actress, created a
sensation yesterday by marching in.o
the editorial rooms OF the Waterbury
American and horsewhipping Roland
r. Andrews, the Americans associate
editor and dramatic critic.
The punitory expedition was entire
ly successful, save for one small de-
tail. In the excitement of the mo-
ment, Miss Bruins got the wrong man.
1t developed that the actress was in
dignant at an article appearing in
the paper a week ago, in which she
was mentioned in connection with
Mark Hanna, jr.. whose marriage to
Miss Pratt recently took place in
bridgeport.
This article was written by one OF
the reporters under the direction OF
Carl NJ Chaplin, the city editor, but
the actress who knew that Andrews
had been city editor promptly as
lsumed that he was the guilty man.
| The story called attention ITO the
fact that young Hanna had been u
student at the Taft school in Water
town, while Miss Bruins was playing
IN stock. The intimacy between the
two had been such, ii was stated, that
ilanna's mother removed her SON from
school for fear OF an elopement.
