APPEAL WILL BE TAKEN
TO SUPREME. COURT
Attorney Goodhart VIII Forward Pa
per in Addie Burns Case This Week
Inmates Gradually Leaving New
London.

When In this city last week for the
purpose of visiting Addie Burns at the
JAIL Attorney Goodhart informed Clerk
Parsons of the superior court that an
appeal to the supreme court is to be
taken in the case, that action having
been decided upon. He is to forward
the appeal to the clerk from New Ha-
ven this week.
Whether Whey Maleany win be tried
at this session Of the criminal court is
not certain. 1t may be possible that
her case will go over to the May term.
Her arrest is having its effect upon
other witnesses in the case, and II is
stated that Florence Staples, wit
ness for the defense, left New London
with two boarders in Bradley street
houses for Providence on Monday. one
other Is said to have gone to Bridge
port.
In an interview regarding the re-
| cent trial Of Addie Burns, States At
torney Hull said:
"Pharaohs heart was soft com
| fluid through Addie Burns veins.
While she might have been reasonably
| honest in a matter Of dollars and
cents, which was her policy If she eX-
| pectsd to continue in her line, she has
one of the stoniest hearts any woman
ever had. To see the women Of her
kind in the court room was enough to
call out anyones disgust. They spoke
about their business without finch
| ing; never winked."
Subsequent remarks Of the state at
| torney's tended TO show that he did
not believe that the System" by
| which houses of i'll fame are conduct
| ed in New London, and have been for
years, was productive of any more
| hi inv ~ & ND
ness and system employed by Addie
| Burns, showed in the evidence at the
case. tended to show her confidence in
| being able to conduct an immoral
place practically without interruption.
Major Hull thought that u years Of
| free rein for Addie Burns, when she
| conducted q house there, had trained
her to undertake almost any immoral
act.
It has come to the ears of the
state attorney that the woman had be-
| come quite wealthy and one of her
| agents had stated that a 100000 bond
| was not any more formidable to her
than a bond of $1,000. The prose-
| cutOr has found many scraps Of evil
| dence, which when followed up will
| lead to the disclosures of many more
| crimes connected with the Burns
| house There was a rumor that pros
| ecutions for bribery of witnesses would
be made, but Major Hull could say
nothing about that.
Well known to the state attorney
Is the fact that nearly all of the wit
| nesses for the defense in the Burns
case have displayed more or less ami
mostly to Mrs. Burns during the last
two years. This feeling was mutual.
Three women, who testified in the at
tempt at an alibi, have been known
to denounce their former mistress In
!
definite evidences that the woman
friends used corrupt influences to get
testimony in her behalf
| When Whey Maleany, the former
| Burns houSekeeper, was being taken
TO jail on being arrested as a result OF
the trial. she made startling declara-
ton. The officer who had her In Gus
tody says she said: IF they don't gel
me out OF this I'll say something thai
will make it hot for them"
Some Of Mrs. Burns friends work

man Is who assaulted that poor littl,
girl. Addie Burns knows, but so does
Whey. That man is just the man ]
would like to make the acquaintance

It was supposed that the county Of
fcials, concerned in the Burns case
knew who the man was who assault
ed May Burns, the girl on whose com
plant the prosecution was based
However, Major Hull admitted he did
not know. This explains why action has
not been taken against this man. The
remarks of the state attorney also
indicate that this man, together will

Marcellas Nash is also regarded as
valuable person for the state at
torney to get his clutches on. The
| evidence in the Burns case showed
that Nash had some part and he was
sought by county and state officers
for several days, when it was found
he had disappeared. Major Hui
would not say definitely just what
would be done with Nash If caught
but it is known that action similar
to that against Whey Maleany would
