The end is not yet reached in tn,

The end is not yet reached in the Pawcatuck boundary line case of Mary Blanchard against J. Irving Maxson, which includes a right of way from Mechanic street to the Pawcatuck river. A year or more ago Mrs. B1an- chard caused a fence to be constructed across the 1aneway that divided the property. MT. Maxson had the fence removed and Mrs. Blanchard brought suit to recover damages.
 The case was tried before Justice James E. Kennedy and judgment was given for Mrs. Blanchard to recover $35 and costs From this judgment appeal was taken to the court of com mon pleas and Judge Waller reversed the decision of Justice Kennedy and decided in favor of Mir. Maxson, he to recover costs.
 Exception has been taken to this decision and the case will now go to the supreme court of errors for the state of Connecticut.

WHAT IS INTERESTING WESTERLY
Arthur E. kelley's rother-in-Law Working in His Be- haIf-Success of Military EaI-5ociety Reception Death of Simon T. Northrop.

Arthur E. Kelley, known In West erly as Deaf and Dumb Dutton,'' now m the CranSton jail under sente.lce of six months from the Third district court for begging, has filed appeal from the court sentence to the next term of the superior court for Wash
 ington county, which convenes in April at Kingston. He expects to furnish
 the required surety bond of $500 for
 his release from jail and appearance in court
 Wednesday Charles H. Flight, who
 married Kelley's sister and who resides in Lynn, came to Westerly and had a consultation with Chief Bransfield and Attorney Clarence E. Roche, who has acted as counsel for Kelley, to ascer- tain the details of the case, prelimi- nary to furnishing the bond to per feet the release from custody and the appeal.
 Mir flight is foreman of one Of the departments of Lynn shoe factory and he says that Kelley worked for him for quite a long while, becoming adept in his portion of the work of manufacturing shoes. Some time ago he underwent an operation and decid- ed to give up shop work for a while and engage in some light out of door work in the hope of regaining health. MT. flight was surprised when he learned that Kelley was playing the deaf and dumb game and was at a loss to understand why he should re- sort to such procedure.
 Mir flight did not know of Ke1ley's arrest in Springfield. but did know of his marriage to a Gloucester girl. KeI- ley's mother and sister, Mrs. flight, reside in Lynn, and until Arthur's sickness he lived with his mother in a comfortable home. His mother is all most heartbroken at the recent action of her son and fee,S the disgrace keen ly. Still she would be glad to welcome him home and his young wife would be cordially received.
 Mrs. Kelley has left her temporary home in Providence and returned to her mothers home in Gloucester, ex- pecting to receive forgiveness for elop- ing with Kelley. She supposed her husband was selling neclaties and sus- penders and was doing a profitable business, sending her regular remit tances. She was not cognizant of the fact that he was working the deaf and dumb dodge and was expert in imper Sonation.

In Gubernatorial Race Both
Dahlman and Shallenberq
Claim Victory
RETURNS, HOWEVER, ARE
YET SOMEWHAT MEAGER
Cady for Republican Nomination for
Governor Has Good Lead Over On.
p0nent and Senator Burkett's Re.
nomination Assured,

Omaha. Neb.. Aug. 17.-Meagre re-
turns SO far received from Yesterdays
primaries seem to indicate that the
race between Governor Shallenberg
and Mayor Dahlman of Omaha for the
Democratic nomination for governor
Is very close. While Dahlman has
carried this (Douglass) county by
three to one majority, returns from
129 precincts outside OF this county
give Shallenberger a small lead.
Most of these returns are from larger
towns where Dahlman's strength was
supposed to be the greatest. Both
sides are still claiming victory.
Cady for governor had a good lead
over Aldrich for the Republican nom-
ination while Senator Burkett seems
to have secured the denomination by
a good majority over Whedon.
For the Democratic senatorial NOM
ination, Congressman Hitchcock leads
Metcalfe, editor Of Bryan's paper,
more than two to one in returns so
far received.
The returns received by the Omaha
Bee up to noon today seemed to con-
firm the earlier estimates of the re-
suit. With all but three precincts
reported. Dahlman, Democrat. has s.
268 majority over Schallenberg in his
(Douglass) county. while Cady, Re-
publican, and Lebeck, Democrat, are
nominated.

BURGLAR SHEEDY'
BREAKS JAIL
Assisted by Hospital Trusty
Both Make Good Their
Getaway

Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 17.-Timothy
A. Sheedy, one of the most notorious
burglars in the country, broke out of
the Hartford county Jail on Seyms
street between II o'clock and mid
night and made good his escape. He
was awaiting a thirty years sentence
from the superior court in March, for
burglary in this city in the Andrus E.
Naedele company's store on Asylum
street In December, 1908, and for be-
ing a habitual criminal
Sheedy sawed his way out of the
bound over" block in the Jail, which
is just off the Jail office, and made
his way through the corridor toward
the north of the prison, into the hos
pital.
There James Cornell, serving two
years for theft and burglary OH Nor
gan street in this city. had sawed the
bars through a window of the hospi-
tai. where there were six prisoner
patients, and both Cornell and Sheedy
made their escape. Cornell was ex-
tradited from New York in June. 1903,
with Florence Cushman, and the two
were, charged with theft and burglary
from Morgan street house. The
Cushman woman got six months in
Jail, and Cornell got two years. With
the time allowed off for good be-
havior, his time would have been up
next February.
1t Is believed that through some
mysterious channels which are yet to
be found out, Sheedys friends, who
came strongly to his support at the
time Of his arrest and trial. reached
Cornell and induced him to aid in the
escape, and got to him the imple-
ments with which to make good the
escape.
Cornell had been a model prisoner
and was used as trusty in the Jail
hospital. and in this way had the con-
fidence of his jailers to the extent that
ne got more time in which to work
the escape. Sheedy sawed two bars
from his cell door, and 1t must have
taken him at least two or three days
to do 1t.
Edward Maher, the night watchman
at the JAIL one of the most highly
trusted employees Of the jail, was on
duty in the prison at the time, and
was being assisted by Charles Loy-
den. another "trusty," who has been
rounder in Hartford for years, and
at present is serving six months
sentence for being common drunk
ard.
The delivery was discovered just
after midnight by Watchman Maher,
who Immediately gave the alarm.
When he made his hourly rounds at
IL o'clock Sheedy was in his cell and
Cornell in the hospital. At midnight
both were missing.
Although Sheedy was sentenced last
March in the superior court to thirty
years in prison, he had not been sent
yet to Wethersfleld owing to the
crowded condition Of the prison.
After getting out Of his cell by saw
ing two bars, he had to. 60 the length

BY Agents Of Third Party.

Chicago. Aug. 17-When the sixth
panel of veniremen called in the case
OF Lee O'Neil Browne reported today,
nearly all of them, as was the case
with the fifth panel yesterday, admit
te dthat they had been approached
with reference to their possible SER
vice as jurors. Judge kersten call

Declaring all of them had been ap-
preached In connection with the re-
trial of Lee O'Neil Browne, Judge
Kersten yesterday dismissed panel
of seventy-five veniremen who had
been subpOenaed in the work Of Sc
lecting a jury.
Judge Kersten pronounced the sit
uation "deplorable."
The veniremen were Immediately
taken to the office of States Attorney
Wayman, where Judge Kersten asked
each man by name if he had been
called upon by any one in connection
with his possible services as juror.
Nearly all answered in the afirma-
tive.
Mr.. Wayman made the assertion in
court that he could prove by de-
tective employed by the defense. that
the latter had Systematically sought
out every prospective venireman,
either by direct approach or through
members of their respective families.
p S. O'Donnell, of counsel for
Browne. asserted that the veniremen
had been seen" by agents Of third
interest, neither defense nor prosecu-
tion. interested for political reasons in
the downfall of Browne.
The first stir in this development
of the case occurred during the fore
noon, when Emil Wennerberg, a
venireman. stated that he had been
called into the Office Of one Dr. Kelly.
While Wennerberg did not go into
details in court. his intimations caused
Judge Kersten to order the produc-
tion of the physician in court
The situation reached a crisis later
when Swan Dahlberg. another MEM
ber of the panel, stated that he had
been seen" by some agent whose real
purpose he did not know.
