|tA1HROP AGAINST SON
Asslhsr SuIl Brought 10 This
 Lopg Drawn Out Case.

Edwin U. Lathrop has begun re. taliation upon his son, Harry c. La- throp, for all the trouble, law and expense he has been put to the past few years. He has begun a suit against him by which he proposes to enjoy some of the fun of going to court and paying big fees to lawyers. The litigation Mir Lathrop has had is of such recent date 1t is needless to cite 1t, but this much 1t Is necessary to state. Two years ago Harry c. Lathrop had Attorney c. c. Root appointed administrator upon the estate of his mother Esther Lathrop, MT Lathrop's first wife, to recover some $3,000 with interest, which he charged his father with taking from his mothers estate. After some months the courts decided in favor of the son to collect the amount claimed, with interest and costs which amounted in all to about $6,000..
 Mir Lathrop has not paid that judgment and he proposes not to.
 He got thinking about things and decided that if son can sue his father, surely, then father can sue his son. So yesterday Mir Lathrop brought suit to recover from his son $2,000 which he claims was money lent him from time to time during a period of years. The suit Is made returnable to the superior court and MT Lathrop will undertake to have 1t heard as soon as possible, and without the customary sparring for points before the matter goes to court on its merits.
 . He has garnisheed Attorney Root from paying to Harry any portion oi the judgment which MT Root, as is said above. secured against him.

PLEAD NOT GUILTY
officer Who Arrested Csva.
 psush Gives Testimony

For the first time since his arrest for the murder of Mrs Edith French. who died in the Waterbury hospital yesterday, John Cavanaugh's voice was heard this morning. With the |pallor of detention in the station house on his face, his hair somewhat disheveled and the mark of the bull let that missed shutting out his life still visible along his left temple, he stood up in the gloom of the dock in the city court and in a steady voice said Not guilty" to the charge of murdering Mrs French. His counsel, Attorney Kennedy. had had few words with him before court opened to instruct him what to do and say when for the first time in the two weeks of his confinement he would be asked to stand up and speak in his own defense.
 His counsel did not seem to mind very much what was said at this pre- liminary trial because he already knew 1t all, and furthermore. because the city court was not the place where very much need be said or done in a matter as serious and mo- mentous as charge of murder in the first degree. So Cavanaugh having made his plea, Officer Joseph Nc Lean was called to the stand. He testified that on the night of Novem Der 16 he was informed that some man had shot a woman on the Si- monsville road in the vicinity of what is known as the Smith & Griggs switch. Then by inquiring he traced the man along South Main street to James E. Watts's saloon and found him inside the door speaking to MT Watts. Cavanaugh's brother was outside waiting for him. Mclean just put his hands on the mans shoulder and Cavanaugh said:
 ''I'll go with you"
 On the way to the station house the policeman asked Cavanaugh why he shot the woman and he said 1t was because she had taken $75 from him. His own words, according to the officers testimony, were:
 She took $75 from me and made me sick. We were off together in Springfield week ago. I wish had done for myself as have done for her I asked him what was the name of the woman he had shot and he said her name was French and that she lived with her husband in Naugatuck. He was. verMx excited, '' went ons the officer. .'Heslooked td have been drinking. He was very talkative. This was about g o'clock His brother was outside the saloon waiting for him. He had no revol- yer"
 Stanbury, the motorman on whose car the wounded woman was brought to town, took the stand then He testified that his car was ap- preaching the Smith & Griggs switch about S!20 o'clock that night when he heard the sound of three shots i fired and saw the flash of fire with and he saw woman fall across the trolley tracks: Next he saw a mar running up the tracks toward tht car. He did not recognize the wo man. He helped place her on tht car and asked her her name and sht said she was Edith French and hel home was in Naugatuck.
 That. was all MT Kennedy offered no defense and Cavanaugh was hel, for the superior court, without bail of course: His counsel then had 1; few words with him and few min utes later he was taken back to tht cells and along with other prisoner, was removed to the county jail ar hour or two later.k

plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues Is abundantly attested
by scores OF the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-

advent OF the white race. This informa-
tion, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.
