been devised by officials and con-
tractors, was simple but effective.
Bids would be asked for grading a
much larger number OF cubic yards
than the work in question involved.

mates on which bids we're based being
90 per cent greater than the work

 Then followed in quick order the naming of the rest of the ticket with Senator Denis Blakeslee of New Ha- lieutenant governor With Goodwin for governor and Blakeslee for lieu tenant governor certainly the New Haven road has no reason to feel that the Republican convention was not good to 1t.
 When the result of Goodwi11's seIec- ton was made known the Fairfield county section broke loose into wild mounted a chair and waved up the crowd in fine fashion.
 Frequently while the fight was going on among the tellers, friends of John T. King around the hall yelled Stick to it, John, old man, you've got them by mile, and Don't let them horn swoggle you and This will be a great night for us. Johnny.''
 The importance to Goodwin of hav- ing a forceful man like King in charge of his interests down this way was been for the efforts put forth by King and his lieutenants Lake would have captured Bridgeport and the eight votes that were cast against him, if on the first ballot, for the Goodwin men certainly got every stray vote they could possibly secure
 The Lake men point to the example of Senator Latiner of Groton as a sample of what they were up against. Latinler wanted to go to the cenven- tion as a delegate from his Senatorial district. He was told that he was not believed to be a Lake man. He professed indignation at such a thought and offered if allowed to go to see that the delegation of which he would be a member was publicly in structed by the caucus to vote as a unit for Lake. Such instructions were given for Lake, Latimer himself sfa- voring it. His own town of Groton also instructed flor Lake.

ACCUSED TELLER DISCLOSES NARROWING TALE OF PERSECUTION
 BY SECRET SERVICE SLEUTHS

I can account for. The secret service men cannot make a goat out of me.
 The first money. I made was $500 Which got through selling the house that I was living in. This I invested in real estate and made little more through quick sale. Then I cleaned at 15 3-s5 cents dozen, held them through the winter and sold them all the following spring at 19 and 19 1-2 cents.
 q invested my earnings in several enterprises. I owned seventeen shares in the Illinois Bolt & Nut Company and stock in the Hammond Repair Company. but I have not made any such lavish display of wealth as the secret service men say that I have. How could [?
 q am satisfied that one of the req sons for my arrest is the suit for $50,- 900 damages have pending against former Treasurer Boldenwreck for his having aIne arrested two years ago on a State warrant.
 q shall push this charge although know that every trick will be turned by the government sleuths to hang the crime on my neck. Before, the case lack of evidence They had nothing to convict me and they have nothing more today
 Fitzgerald himself pays unconscious tribute to the work of the government secret service and the tireless pursuit by the government.
 For months I saw two men fre- quently hanging about my house and attempting to get in,'' said Fitzgerald. 'tThey would come to the door. draw out a bulls eye lantern and Hash the light through any opening they could find. The light from this lantern was even flashed through a window and across my body as lay in bed. I was never alone. A man whom I knew to be 9 secret service agent would sit opposite me when I had my meals down town. I could feel their presence everywhere, but my feelings were not those of man who is guilty and thinks he is being watched, but of an innocent man lodged from morn ing until night.''
 District Attorney Sims declared that enough circumstantiaI evidence against the former teller to make his conyic- tion a certainty.
 From the day after the s173.00 dis appeared from the sub-treasury. Spe- cial Agent Erbstein and his men have been Investigating the theft said Sims. They seldom make an arrest unless they have the evidence.
 The prosecutor and his assistants were secretive as to the direct evidence against Fitzgerald and would not be drawn actively into the case until the proper time.
 Surely, if my husband had stolen that vast sum which the detectives claim would not be doing the family washing and all of the housework, ' said Mrs Fitzgerald today. My hus- band is the victim of a job to make it appear that the secret service men have done their duty and earned their money by solving a mystery"

GAN HUDSON BEAT BANKS?

In view of the success of Charley Goodwin yesterday at Hartford It may be pertinent to inquire if Stiles Judson can stop Judge E. s, Banks for the senatorial nomination at the convention which will be held Satur- day morning at the town hall of Stratford.
 Banks said a few days go that Judson had him beaten. NBut that was a few days ago. Now, in view of the added prestige which Banks takes. on by. reason of his open cham pionship' of Goodwin the victor, yes terday, there are those who believe that Judson can be beaten by the re- sourceful Fairfield man. Banks speech for a second ballot, yesterday, undoubtedly was strong strategic move and it made 3. good impression. In fact so good an impression did it make that some Of the Bridgeport delegates were whispering around that it practically assured Banks the votes of sufficient delegates to defeat Judson. But the states attorney to all outward appearance has fairly won a majority of the delegates and if he is defeated there is no telling of what may not happen.
