to Pearl to pull the snake OF his arm;
but Pearl was not much of snake

Cut off from all assistance, Deadly

PUTNAM


Connecticut River Shad, 80 cents
each. This announcement, displayed
in the window of q locaf market. would
make Representative John /. Hutchin-
son of Essex step in and make some
inquiries, it's safe bet, II he had
been strollifg about Putnam Satur-
day afternoon. Uncle john has a
habit of knowing what he is talking
about and when he stood in the hall
of the house at Hartford one day last
week while talking in favor of his bill
to prevent the shipment of this specie
of fish outside the state and said
that it was necessary even in the river
towns to get up at o'clock in the
morning and go down to the wharves
there to beg of the fisherman to
sell Connecticut river shad at IS cents
each, he created some impression
enough to pass the bill The toothsome
fish all go to Fulton market. New
York, he said What the gentleman
from Essex would have said if he had
seen the price quoted in Putnam Sat-
urday. may only be guessed at. 1t
is fair assumption that he would
have been surprised, however. Con-
nectfcut river shad are not always to
be had in Putnam at 30c each, but
there was barrel of them for sale
at that price Saturday,

Preparina Asnaraaus.

Thre are few vegetables that are
more of a favorite than asparagus,
and probably no vegetable is more Oft
en- spoiled in the cooking. Great care
must be taken not to cook the aspara-
gus too much. 1t is, to be sure, diff
cult to cook 1t SO the tips are not
done too much and vet have the hard
part of the stalks edible.
That this may be accomplished
many housewives cook the asparagus
standing up in the kettle, having just
water enough to come to within an
inch of the top of the asparagus. If
this plan is followed, the tips are cook
ed by steam, while the rest of the stalk
is boiled. IF the asparagus is covered
with water. it is well to soak the veg
etable for half an hour in salt water,
before cooking. Then boil for 25 min
utes.
Some people like the asparagus
served on toast, with only melted but
ter poured over It. Others prefer a
cream sauce, drawn butter or Ho1-
landaise sauce
IF one likes the asparagus cut into
inch or two -inch lengths, it is wise to
cook the tops a shorter time than the
rest. When cooked in this way the
vegetable is served as peas or beans
are Batter must be used literally for
seasoning.

ed. The two state officers came to
Putnam after the searching seance at
Danielson and joining Sergeant Hayes
and Patrolman Cordier of the local
police started for the Elm street house.
When Anger heard the Putnam officers
getting into the house he made an
attempt to escape by climbing out an
upper-story window, but the state of

Anger crawled back into the house

later locked UP. Anger has a bad rec

pay the help. Soma of the time of the
men was made out by himself and time
Alarly and the company paid most of
the help themselves.
Ian. IS, 1911 was the first time that
they had paid the help and at the time
there were three checks given him to
pay the men who Judge Storrs did rot
Champion, Jere Haley and George
Rich. He had no recollection of the
Lynch check and did not think that he
was working for him, as he had stop
ped working about Jan. l. He did not
think he owed Lynch anything on Jan.
%. as the books showed that Lynch
had been paid off Dec. 81, which was as
near as he knew the last day that he
hal worked for him. He did not know
who made out the first payroll paid by
the Willimantic Lumber and Coal COM
pany. but he thought that at that time
he had received a check for Mike

he had the Lynch check in his posses
sion or not.

wich, formerly doing business in the
Marguerite building, but now on Main

know whether he ever had the check
in his hands or not, but he never re-

thereon 1t was mistake. He admit
ted that the initials on the receipt
book were a receipt for the payroll.
The time book that he had brought

Paying the Help.
Mr. O'Donovan stated that the Will

advanced him money to pay his help
and he thought the ARRANGEMENT had
Desn made in February or March, 1909
h'he help was paid sometimes by them
and sometimes the money was given
to him. The payroll was made out I'M
der his orders. He did not think there
was any arrangement made to confine
the payments to any enc particular
contract. At the time he was carrying
two or three jobs besides the convent
JOB in Taftville. Money received from
them he treated as money to pay his
help and was principally used to pay
the help in Taftville. but he could not
say that it was used entirely for that
Job. The arrangement continued for
about a year.
Never Padded Payroll.
All payrolls were correctly made out
as FAR as he knew He denied having
ever padded the payroll. Mr.. O'Dono-
van declined to answer as to whether
he had ever received any money or
check from the Willimantic Lumber
