Convicted of pefrauding Insur-
ance C0mpany-Or gin of
Fire Suspected

After being out but twenty-five
minutes in the Superior court, this
morning the jury in the case of John
Kareman, returned verdict of gull
ty of defrauding an insurance COM
pany. Following the verdict, Judge
Lucien F. Burpee sentenced Kareman
to not less than one or more than
three years in States PRISON.
Kareman was the proprietor of the
Greek restaurant at Main street and
Union Square which was wiped out
by fire on the evening of Aug. 4, 1910.
There was every evidence that the
fire was of incendiary origin. Previ-
Gus to the fire two other small fires
had occurred in the restaurant with
in the month. Suspicion pointed to the
proprietor as he had stated to his
intimate friends that business was
poor and that he was going to leave
town to start in another enterprise.
Following the fire Kareman remained
in Bridgeport till Aug. 20, when he
collected the insurance. He then
went to Chicago where he conducted
a pool room.

WIFE'S TEMPER
FREES HIM OF
WEDDING TIES
Graphorhone Clerk Gets Divorce
on Grounds of Deserti0n

Claiming that his wife. Bella Frances
Fogo, possessed an ungovernable tenn
per, which made life almost unbear-
able for him, William Fogo. a clerk at
the American Graphophone Co. resid-
ing at 1919 State street. was freed from
his better half by Judge William H.
Williams in the Superior court today.
The decree was allowed on the ground
of deser- ion. May IL. 1906.
The suit was brought by Mrs. FOgo
on the ground of habitual intemper-
ance. but the husband filed a counter
claim, alleging desertion. and his claim
was allowed by the court.
Mrs. Fogo stated that she was mar
ried in June. 1903. and tha, she lived
with her husband for two and one
half years. Many tines she said. he
came home intoxicated. making home
life very unhappy. and her surround
ings very unpleasant.
Fogo, in his own behalf, stated that
his wife had an ungovernable temper.
To drown his sorrows he often took a
few drinks and had been under the
weather" In such a condi ion IS
wife would constantly upbraid him for
his faults. She left in May, 1906,
leaving note stating that she was
sorry for the misery she had caused
him. He wrote to her stating that
he loved her and desired her return
to him. She wrote back that if he
loved her. he should leave her alone,
and let her live as she desired.
The court asked Mrs. Fogo what she
meant in the note written at her leav-
ing her husband referring to the mis-
cry she had caused him. Mrs Fogo
stated that the note was written more
in sarcasm than anything else. Mrs
Fogo sta ed that she had heard her
husband was a drinking man before
she married him. but that she did not
believe it.

| dollars. When he sought inforna-
tion Of Mrs. Morris. he learned that
she had gone away. Then he heard
that Mrs. Morris ha1 furnished Maby
from custody when a fortnight ago he
was arrested as a frequenter at a
gambling house raided in East Bridge
port.
Maby and his aged bride-to-be on
reaching Mt. Vernon attracted coDsid-
erable attention The attention Of the
authorities was drawn to the proposed
nuptials. and thinking the matter was
one recurring Investigation they placed
Maby under arrest. After talking the
situation over with Maby. the Nj.
Vernon police decided to charge him
with having no visible means OF sup
port, or being a yagrant. and that -
the charge entered against his name
The captain told the police that as
matter Of truth he did not really
love the aged widow. but that she and
he bad agreed that IL would make 1t
much easier for him 10 continue as her
business representative IL he were TO
/ be her husband rather than her agent.
So the platonic love was about to
lead them to the altar when the ac-
twill OF the police shattered their
plans.
Maby comes of a family afflicted
with q faint Of insanity. His father
died by his own hand. and his mother
State Hospital for the Insane. Maby's
mo her often explained her sons &C.
c6ntricities away by the fact that
bnghted romance in his youth had left
him mentally unsound
She seid that Maby's affianced bride
died after q. lingering illness during
which her son was almost constantly
al her home. and that the strain and
shock was more than he could bear.
Maby figured prominently in the local
militia. and entered the postal ser-
vice after passing highest of 81 en-
trants in a competitive examination.
His expert mathema Lcal bent has OF
late been turned towards games OF
chance, and he has eked out a. livell-
hood by running small gambling ganics
| in the foreign colonies.
Maby carries about with him a min
iature gambling layout. with a set OF
dice. He offers odds that appear
temp ing. but which mathematicaIly
are greatly in his favor. and with these
he has made it practice to fleece the
residents Of the various foreign colo
nies. Just what disposition will be
made of his case the Mt. Vernon au-
thori. Lies do not yet know. They ex-
pect relatives Of Mrs. Morris to come

ROOSEVELT WILL
ENTER CAMPAIGN
New York Governor May Seek Third
Term-"PoIitical" Visits Are
All Social.

oyster Bay N. Y. June 27.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt may never make an
other political speech as he told the
newspaper men the other day, but he
is going to plunge into the thick pol
itical fight to be waged this fall for
the control of New York.
The outcome of the conference be-
tween Roosevelt and Hughes will issue
| the articulated policy. The governor
and the former governor will go over
the entire political situation in New
York Roosevelt indicated the belief
that If Hughes accepts a place on the
United States supreme bench, as the
governor has already signified his in
tenticn to do, and thus withdraws en-
tirely from active service, the result
may be disastrous to the party. Roose-
velt may not, and probably will not,
request the governor in so many words
to become candidate for third
term. He will present the situation
as he sees 1t, leaving 1t to the gov
ernor to decide after he has learned
Rooseyelt's views. A decision to ac-
cept third nomination will carry
with 1t the full understanding that
in the event Of republican defeat
Hughes may find himself with neither
a seat on the bench nor in the execu-
tive chamber.
Roosevelt gave the newspaper men
today his first interview OF any length
since his return from abroad. He was
asked If he had not invited a number
of political leaders, both regulars
and insurgents" to accept his hos
lpitality.
with the exception Of Hughes, 1"
he answered. Il have invited none
here except to make social visit. {"

Objects.


Washington, June 27.--A treasury
draft for 100000 would have been
drawn to the order of Richard Parr
some time next week but for an OBJ
lection made by New England re-
publican senator. He blocked an ap-
preparation for this amount for Parr,
which Chairman Tawney had provided
for, and declared that so long as he
remains in congress the sugar frauds

The senator is seeking revenge be-
cause he says that Parr informed the
Washington authorities that he was
mixed up in the sugar frauds.
Parr denies that he made any such
charge. He admits, however, that he
discovered and reported that some
widely known republican office holders
