Crime Committed June '.

Mrs. Roberts died at her home in Columbia on the evening of June following peculiar circumstances. Rob- erts had been to Colchester that day and had drunk and it is assumed that his wife scolded him for 1t upon his return. There was a quarrel and when neighbors arrived Mrs. Roberts was lying unconscious on the ground near the driveway and a stone was beside her. She was carried into the house, and when it was learned that life was extinct theamedjcal examiner was call- ed in on the case. That official found nothing to fix the death as an unnat- ural one and he based his findings, it is thought, on the story of Roberts that while they were quarreling she had dropped dead. Roberts was great ly feared. in the neighborhood where he lived, as he had been known to make . number of threats.
 The body was taken to Tarrytown, N. r., and buried. Several days later First Selectman Winter of Columbia became convinced from various sto- ries circulated by neighbors that all was not as appeared at first. and the matter was brought to the attention of Coroner Robert F. Fisk of Stafford, who had the body exhumed when ev- idence of violence was found.
 The autopsy disclosed that death was due to a hemorrhage of the brain caused by external violence.

Following the funeral Roberts came back to this city from Tarrytown. N. Y., and was found beastly drunk in doorway on upper Main street He was before the police court the next
 morning and was sent to Brooklyn for term of thirty days.
 During his term the evidence was gotten together so completely that there was but small question of his guilt, and he was arrested and taken to the Holland county jail when his thirty days were up, and after being given preliminary hearing in Colum- bia. probable cause being found, was bound over to the present term of the superior court. Sheriff Sprague took him to Holland county jail, where he has been ever since, except when he was taken to Rockville at the opening of the present term of court and pre- sented before the grand jury that found a true bill and returned an in- dictment oe the murder charge and the trial was set for the 27th inst.
 Saturday there was conference be- tween States Attorney Charles Phelps of Rockville at Attorney William A. King of this city. who had been re- tained as counsel for the accused, and it was agreed that Roberts should be brought into court at noon Monday to plead guilty to the charge of man slaughter.
 Mrs. Roberts was 30 years old and had lived in Tarrytown. N. Y. with her husband. up to about decade ago There is a daughter, Ida, about Is years old. Mrs. Roberts was con- nected with prominent Westchester county people. Roberts himself also has influential relatives, but drink got the best of him.

looking young fellow without sign of dissipation.
 Continuing his story, CroweH told of walking as far as the Connecticut line, but from there his fare had been paid to Danielson by a kind hearted person. He came into Danielson Sun day and not finding any place to stay he had walked back to Elmville and slept in a vacant house near the Cat Hollow mill. The windows were broken out of the house and he evil dently became so chilled that he was on the point of collapse when he was found near the Cyr building Monday morning after again starting on his way to Hartford.
 Crowell is evidently a young man who dislikes to ask for favors and rather than do so had suffered about to the limit of his endurance.
 He was kindly treated by the off, cials here and after he had enjoyed a good rest at the station he was given transportation to Hartford at the expense of the town.
