For the defense there were called
Isaac Williams, Charles w. Hewitt,
Horace H. Main and w. l. Slocum. The
latter testified to paying Chapman $l5
about the time of the alleged theft,
and Mrs. Knowles said Chapman gave
her $40 to keen for him about August
%. Ira Main gave him a good name.
In his own behalf, Chapman denied
the theft absolutely. He told Of work.
ing for Miss Main at different times
for years, and made his home there
when not working elsewhere.
Arguments were made by Attorneys
Burrows. Douglass and Hull, after
which Judge Wheeler charged the jury
and they retired at 4 o'clock.
Chapman Found Not Guilty.
At 4.45 the jury returned and through
Fol eman Griswold Morgan gave a YER
dict of not guilty. Il thank the jury"

LoLdon Sept. last, and William Kiley,
I Ion ,t,0 ra6
with being an accessory, were brought
here Friday morning from the New
London jail by Sheriff Sidney A.
Brown and were in the prisoners pen
in the court room.
Bogardus and Kiley, looking better
If anything than they did when they
were sent to the Jail last fall, chatted
freely and laughed as though going t.
a church picnic instead of to court to
face a murder charge.
Prosecuting Attorney Charles B.
Whittlesey of the New London police
court, who acted in these cases in the
lower court, was on hand to assist
States Attorney Hull and Attorney

pears for Kiley, were in court.

NO ONE COULD LIFT
THE 800 POUND SACK.
Eight Made an Effort to Get the $50,
But Did Not Succeed.

Friday night at Sheedy's theater was
the time announced for any heavy
weight litter of this city or vicinity to
try to win the $50 offered by the APP
polio brothers for carrying off the
stage the sack of sand weighing 300
pounds, which Alfred Apollo rugs of
several times a day in the course OF
his exhibitions, and the expectation Of
seeing local men try the feat jammed
the theater to the doors, to the vesti-
bule and even out into the street. BY
the time the trials were to take place
in the first performance the manage
ment had stopped selling tickets and
it was impossible to get into the the
alter.
there were numerous aspirants i,y'
the $50, and all furnished the rarest
kind Of entertainment for the wildly
applauding crowd as they tugged and
sWeated at the sack without coming
anywhere near getting it off the stage.
Six men made try at the first show
and two later on. The first set TO
make the attempt were ZimInond Oloff,
Patrick Cox, John Bolan, Charles Mar
tin, Michael j. Kelly and Sam Austin.
Most of them took their cue from the
professor and tried to tip the sack over
onto their back as they lay on the floor.
Mr.. Kelly displayed a new move by
bringing a chair into the game, get
ting the sack into the seat OF the cnalr
and from there trying to get it on his
back, but without success. In some
cases one of the Apollo boys put the
sack on top of a man on the floor
which invariably pinned the victim
fast and immovable. At the second
performance Dan Maria, the baseball
pitcher, and william Nolan tried to lift
off the sack, but without success.
Maria smashed a chair into kindling
wood in his efforts and Nolan was
nailed to the floor when Apollo put the
sack on his back. Any aspiring filters
are to be given another chance tonight.

SOLITUDE OF
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Former Editor of Bulletin Writes on
His Visit to Norwich.


Edward ]. Edwards, at one time ed
itor of The Bulletin, had page art4-
Gle in last Sundays Times regarding
the solitude of Abraham Lincoln. Re
ferring to his trip into Connecticut
during his campaign. the article
reads:
At the Norwich meeting Lincoln and
Governor Buckingham met for the first
time They were to meet many times
during Lincoln's presidency, and were
to establish intimate relations, for
Buckingham was known as one of the
great war governors. At the first in
slant of the meeting between Lincoln
and Governor Buckingham the COVER
nor could not escape some sense Of
disappointment, wondering if it were
true that this was the man who hau
overthrow THE Little Giant" in the
terrific verbal combat in Illinois, the
man who had delivered the widely
famed House Divided Against ITSELF
speech and the man who had gained
the amazing triumph on the Cooper
Union platform.
Lincoln greeted the governor in a
whimsical, homespun way, so that the
governor was mOmentarily distressed,
but later, when listening to Lincoln,
Governor Buckingham found himself
thinking What manner of man is this
who speaks? Is this the man whom
saw this afternoon? 1t is he, yet an
other and a wonderful man. such as I
never before saw or heard" That was
what Governor Buckingham said some
years later was impressed upon him as
he listened to Lincoln. And so pro-
found was the impression made by
Lincoln upon the audience that when
he closed and turned to quit the plat
form no man moved, none cheered, nor
was there any applause by hand-clap-
ping or stamping of the feet. It was
the perfect tribute of silence. The
recognition of intellectual supremacy
and moral sublimity is best acknowl-
edged in that way. But when ap-
plause did begin it was overwhelming.

ment of four judges during his term

ent. 1t is generally conceded that

ven county will be one of the new

prising if Colonel Burpee of Waterbury.
will be the other. From the reports
that are heard there is no opposition
to the appointment of Mr.. williams. A
number of other names have been
mentioned for the other two judge
ships. 1t is said that another 1uoge-
ship will be given to New London
county in the appointment of Frank 4.
Brown of Norwich. 1t is not general
ly known that Mr.. Brown could have
gone on the bench when Governor
woodruff was the chief executive of
the state. Governor Woodruff was
very anxious to appoint Mr.. Brown to
the bench and 1t is understood that his
desire was made known to him. Mr..
Brown did not show that he was will
ing to give up his lucrative practice at
the bar for a judgeship.
Mr.. Brown stated Friday evening
that he did not have the slightest de-
sire to secure such an appointment
and has not the slightest intention of
seeking a position of the kind.

The Bridgeport authorities do not
remember a time when they have been
so bothered by women, who either are
insane, or act so as to convey the
impression that mental balance is
lacking. Only Wednesday. Blanche

Thursday three other women were
subjected to the same process. One
was taken to Middletown. Another
will be deported to Austria. The third
