ASMAN KILLED With CLUB

Durham, Conn, Jan. 6--John Asman
70 years old, farmer living at Reeds
Gap, was found dead in his barn Mon.
day night with his skull fractured.
Mar BY lay club with which it is
supposed the farmer was beaten to
death.
Asman was in the habit of carrying
considerable money about with him, and
Mrs. Asman is OF the opinion that the
farmer had With him Monday night
about $500. The pockets of his trousers
had been cut away and there was no
money in the other pockets of his cloth
ing.
He left the house late Monday to
feel the stock in the barn. On his
failure to return, his daughter went to
look for him and found him lying at
the foot OF the stairs which led to the
hay loft. From marks on the stairs,
Asman had evidently gone to the loft
for hay and had been struck either Just
as he reached the top OF the stairs or
as he started to 20 down. The blow
from the club, which was about three
feet long, had not only fractured the
skull, but had also knocked him down
the stairs
The idea that he had been murdered
did not occur to his daughter immedi-
ately and there was delay in notifying
the authorizes. Dr. W. S. Russell of
Wallingford was called, but Mr.. Asman
was dead when he arrived he said
death was probably instantaneous. DR..
IL. A. Markham, medical examiner for
the town, was notified, but it was not
until early yesterday that Coroner Stew
en- B. Davis of Middletown was noti-
fed
The only trace the murderer left was
foot prints which lead away from the
barn across lots.

competitor, fourth. The Wolf, was
the first American yacht to finish.
She was third, but badly beaten by
both the Hevella and Marguerite.
The Ellen and Joyette finished last.
The result was popular, because
the Germans had taken two severe
beatings this week without a whim-
per. The victorious Hevella was
saluated on every side.
The Americans have now won
two races and the Germans one.
Only the winner of tomorow's race

can fight it out for the Taft cup
Monday. The victor in Mondays en-
counter will take the Taft trophy,
irrespective of whether she won two
races or one previously. The win
ner of the Taft cup will not be elig-
ible for the Draper cup race.
The Hevella won today through
the superior judgment of Captain
Protein and the better qualities of
his boat in light air. Up to almost
the last minute the Marguerite
seemed likely to win. Beating out to

rivals around the turn in both
