STATE POLICE INSIDE
Handed Over Iatchkcy to Locals in
 Sterling House Raid,

There Is a mystery connected with the raIdIng of the Sterling house last Sunday that the police, the proprietor and many others arc wondering about This is, how did the raidIng police get in so easily? They don't know and Sergeant Watrous who had charge of the raid won't tell,
 The facts are that the front door was open just at the time that the police arrived and it Is always kept locked The most obvious conclusion from this Is that someone inside connived with the local police. Was it a member of the state police or did Dr. Parkhurst of New York change the field of his re- form movements? Or was it merely a coincidence? To the last, the answer of the proprietor is, "No," as the bell wire that connects with the hell had also been cut to prevent any possIbil- ity of an alarm.
 The general supposition is that the state police or their employees had gained admission to the hotel and ar ranged matters with the local police to arrive when the door was open.
 There may be "a reward offered and no questions asked regarding the sor- ton of the case, but, anyhow, propri- etor Byron would really like to know.

HIS BROTHER GAVE $10,000
Judge Paid All the Rest Himsclf-- Much of the Money Went to the Various Town Com
 mittccs.

Judge A. Heaton Robertson, who ran for governor on the democratic ticket, will to-day probably forward an account of his election expenses to the secretary of state at Hartford. It is understood that the judge complet- cd a list of his expenses and also ap- peared before Judge Simpson of the common pleas court and swore to it's truthfulness.
 That lt cost Judge Robertson q tidy sum for his great run will be seen when 1t Is said that his expenses will total something like $33,O00, Of this sum his brother ], Brownleg Robert son, contributed St0.OO0. and the re- maindcr came out of the judges own pocket. He received absolutely no ti- nancal aid from the national demo- cratic committee and fought the bat tie with his own ammunition alone. The money was pretty well distributed throughout the state, good sums uf it going into every city to the various town committees
 There is considerable curiosity to learn the figures of Mir Lilley's cN- pensc list. It is believed those of Judge Robertson will pale into insis- nficance beside those of the success full republican candidate.
