irrespective real Estate FurcHaSerS
Only Wanted Joy Ride.
One day the past week two well
dressed men, one elderly. the other
young man, walked into the office of
leading real estate broker and init
mated that they were anxious to in
spect various farms that the broker had
listed for sale. The broker was very
courteous and as soon as he had ar
ranged matters at the office so as to
give the prospective purchasers his I'M
divided attention he invited them to
get into his automobile and took them
all around the countryside, showing
them many desirable places in various
towns in the suburban districts. Upon
the partys return to the city Office the
obliging real estate broker asked few
questions and was astounded to hear
that the visiting men had no intention
whatever of buying farm property, but
simply wanted to see the country.
The agent, who rather enjoyed the
humor of the situation, took the visit
tors around to another real estate office
and introduced them to another broker.
who also obliged them to the extent
of showing them around some more,
only to be given the same response that
had been given the first real estate
man. The sightseers were from West
Virginia.

also was asleep on the upper floor.
He came rushing down to the assist

How Kiley got into the house is

says he found the front door unlocked.
The man has evidently been drinking
heavily for some days. Asked what
he went into the house for, Kiley said
that he wanted to get away from some
people that were going to kill him and
he thought that the house would be

Charles Place who was shot by his
half brother, Ernest Handel in West
Stafford, Friday morning, died at the
Hartford hospital at II o'clock Friday
night. Coroner Robert II. Fisk went
TO the house Saturday and took the
statements Of the mother and other
members of the family Ernest who
had spent Friday night in the Stafford
Springs lookup was brought into the
borough court Of Stafford Springs Sat
urday morning, charged with man
slaughter r. H. Fisk represented the
state. and NJ. D. O'Connell, who was
appointed guardian ad Item, appeared
for the boy. The little fellow said he
had a good nights rest and seemed the
least concerned OF any one in the
court room when the complaint charg-
Eng him with having killed his brother
was read, and he answered in strong
voice mot guilty" On advice of his
attorney he waived examination and
was bound over to the June term Of
the superior court under bonds of ST.
600. In default Of bonds he was taken
to ToIland jail by Deputy Sheriff Louis
Helm. Neither of his parents were in
court at the hearing. The family is in
rather destitute circumstances, and
conditions are being investigated by
the town authorities. 1t is probable
that the children now at home will be
sent to the county home.
Only One Bed in the House.
Although there were eight in the
family, there was only one bed in the
house when the officers were there, and
II IS said that the copditions of the
place and family show deterioration
and degeneration. Though Handel and
his stepson have been at work in the
mills for some time, they don't seem
TO have been able to get ahead at all.
They are very shiftless and belong to
the spend -as-y ou-go class. Their house
is in West Stafford. just west Of the
Crystal Lake schoolhouse, where the
children attend school. Ernest who is
now in jail awaiting trial, has always
been known az a well behaved boy.
The neighbors say that although he is
quick tempered,he was always thought
