FREE BED
In Day KimbaII Hospital Favored for
Town.

There is a growing sentiment in
town in favor of making some arrange
ment for the establishment and main-
tanning of a free bed in the Day-Kim-
ball hospital at Putnam. OF the sur
rounding towns that receive benefits
for patients, without cost, from the
institution mentioned. Killingly during
the past year was close to the top Of
the list. For comparative purposes the
following figures from the report of the
superintendent of the hospital, showing
how towns have benefited, are Of inter-
est in considering the matter: Brook
Ign, 46 days care; Eastford, patient,
8 days; Thompson. IS patients, 265
days: Killingly, 10 patients. 1913 days;
Jewett City. 2 patients, SO days; Pom
fret. 10 patients. 122 days: Putnam, 20
TENTS. 1879 days. The figures cover a
period Of a year.
OF the towns mentioned above Put
nam, Thompson maintain a free bed
for residents of those towns and free
bed is provided for needy patients
through the generosity Of several resi-
dents Of Pomfret. Killingly, receiving
a good share of the free service that.
the hospital is enabled to give. is out
ranked by the other towns in hberality
towards the only hospital IN this end
of the county.
Tt is hoped that some plan may be
devised that Will bring to a satisfac-
tory solution the matter of providing

basis of hberality commensurate with
the benefits received.

SHAME OR cUNNINe7
Charles E. Ferguson of New Haven
Mystifies Court.

mystlneS Court.
In the person of Charles Edward
Ferguson, the court was called to rass
upon case unusual and interesting in
certain aspects. Ferguson was charg-
ed with breaking and entering the
mouse Of Aledia E. Weavers on Janu-
airy of this year. He was captured
while trying to escape from the house
and has since been held at the jail in
Brooklyn. he has been one of the
Lnly TWO prisoners to plead guilty at
the first opportunity, seemingly seek
ing no possible opportunity to secure
release. Ferguson's later attitude to-
wards the court which sought to show
him leniency brings him into the lime
lgnt as a man of interesting person.
amy, perhaps OF much honor and may
pc unusual cunning. There is not a
single characteristic Of the criminal in
bis makeup. He is tall, about forty
wears Of age, with the hallmarks Of
the honest working man uron him. He
snrank from the inQIisit1ve ewes of the
court audience and outwardly mani
tested the shame that Tad come upon
him. So striking were these outward
appearances, that Judge Curtis was
evidently impressed with. the possi-
blllty or Ferguson's misfortune and
commenced an inquiry into F'erguson's
Tast. Bit by bit the Judge was able to
learn the few things that Ferguson
vas willing to relate. The prisoner
sald he was New Haven man,
teamster and sawraill employee. He
left that city two weeks before the
new year to seek for badly needed en-
ployment. went to Providence. then to
Danielson. everywhere falling to get
work. The last place he called was
at the new dam, across the Qunebaug,
near Cottou's bridge. Failure again
sent him on his way, and he walked
to Brooklyn, where, worn out. tired,
cold and hungry. he had sought ref
uge from the cold by forcing an en-
trance to the Weaver house.
Tears dimmed Ferguson's eyes when
ne spoke Of an old mother. his wife
and two little children at his home in
New Haven, to whom he has not writ
ten since four days before his arrest
More than this, Ferguson could not
be induced to tell. Even in a private
conference with Prosecutor Torrey,
Ferguson would not consent to give the
address Of his relatives if under the
promise that should his statements be
verified he would be leniently dealt
with. Ferguson could not be brought
to have his dear ones know of his
oishonor and chose a Jail sentence in
preference. Ten months was given him
and his head sank on his breast as
he heard the verdict. Sincere and
sadly misfortunate Ferguson may have
been or else the most cunning actor
that has appeared in this court for
many a session.
