Held For Murder.

In the preliminary hearing before
Justice John Z. Marshall, at the court
house yesterday afternoon, J. w. Hodges
and Ella Flowers were held 10 the spring
term of the circuit court for the murder
OF old man Hughes, and without bonds.
There was a good sized crowd at the
hearing. Hon. A.V. Long, the new state S
attorney for this circuit, conducted the
examination for the state, and Merryday
& Walton and E. n. Calhoun represent
ed Hodges and the Flowers woman.
Hodges and Ella Flowers were pres,
emf. They have lived together as man
and wife for some ten years and have
three children. Hodges mother lived
with them.
Hughes, the murdered man, was in his
Goth year. He had an unSavory reputa'
ton and had been parted from his wife
for several years. He had been away
with the Flowers woman for several
dyaS; then she longed TO see her chill
dren and returned Hughes was guilty
of enticing her away. After her return
TO the children the woman repcnted,
but ii is said that Hughes was compelling
her TO again leave with him. Hodges
came upon them with gun. Then
there was murder. The woman sides
with Hodges and confesses to cutting
Hughes throat. Hodges shot Hughes
twice.
The fact that no clergyman's cere,
mony bound Hodges and the Flowers
woman as husband and wife may be
against their making much out of the
unwrtten law. But they seem 10 have
been getting along reasonably harmoni-
Gus until old man Hughes "butted in"
Hodges looks like man with hook
worms. The woman, if dressed in mod
ern raiment, would be quite attractive.
She started life wrong. Maybe she
couldn't realize the folly of her false
step. She begins TO see il now. Poor
woman. She has some of the feelings
of mother. She has children and she
loves them.

Mayor Reilly Gave
 Silver City $500
Chief. Executive of Meriden
 Turns Back His Salary Checks
 For Six Months For City's Use

Meriden, Dec. 15.-Thomas l.. Reilly,
 mayor of this city. has made another philanthropic assignment of his sal ary,, having turhed in to City Treasur- CT. James. Cloonan checks aggregating $500, the amount of MT. Reilly's sal- ary as mayor for the past six months. The money is to be devoted to the ! needs of the city. The following self-explanatory let ter was made public to-day by Treas
 urer Cloonan:
 James F.. Cloonan
 Treasurer, City of Meriden, Dear Sir:
 T herewith turn back to you for | the use of the city six checks, aggre- gating $500, for six months salary as mayor.
 'I have served nine months as may Or since March 4, 1911, when my term as representative in congress began. The checks for the other three months salary were used for the following purposes:
 ..one month (sss. .ss) to milk inspec- tor for use in performing duties con nected with his office for which he could get no assistance from The mis- 1 cellaneous fund controlled by the fi- nance committee.
 "One month ($83.S0, to Fourth of July celebration fund.

 The December check, which will be payable in January, will be turned back to the city as soon as received. Yours respectfully, THOMAS l.. REILLY, Mayor. "Meriden. Conn.,, Dec. Il, 1911" Mayor Reilly's action is unique in that it probably has never been done
 by any mayor in any other commun- ity. The spirit of the deed and in

 deared him to the voters of Meriden
 who have never failed to. elect him to
 the office of mayor when he sought

Baldwin Not Sure
If He Calls Special Legislative
 Session it Won't be Until Late in 1912
FEARS A LONG SESSION
Governor Gives Out Interview Telling Why He Asked Opinion on
 Mileage.

Hartford, Dec. Ex-Governor Sim con E. Baldwin was asked yesterday why he had requested the attorney general for an opinion as to the con stitutionality of the law authorizing and directing the state 'comptrorlert to furnish the. members of the legisla- ture with mileage tickets. He replied as follows:
 "A bill for several hundred dollars was presented to the board of control by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company for & balance due, as claimed by it, on q contract made with the comptroller. This contract was to furnish mileage books to each memberrof the general assembly in exchange for an assign ment of mileage at the rate fixed by the constitution. I had grave doubts whether the statute authorizing the contract was not contrary to the con stitution. and before passing upon the bin in the board I asked the attor- ney general to give his official opin- ion as to whether the contract was authorized. The opinion of the at torney is accepted as law in regard to any matter of statutatory con struction by the executive officers of
 When asked what effect this would have on an extra session Governor Baldwin said: '1The constitution pro- vfdes specifically for that. The mem bers of the general assembly shall receive one mileage each way for the regular session at the rate of 25 cents a mile, and also one other mileage at the same rate for attending any extra session called by the governor. As a matter of fact, under the stat ute now declared unconstitutional he has been receiving good deal more. I think the result of the opinion of the attorney general will be to make further sessions shorter than some have been in late years. and that, I think, was the intention of the con stitutional amendment adopted in 1884 which governs the question"
 In reference to calling an extra ses- sion of the general assem bly, to re- district the state into new senatorial districts the governor said he had not determined whether he would call one or not If he did call an extra ses- sion. 11e said, it would not be until the latter part of 1912, he did not care he said to fix the time any near CT than that. In explanation of call ing 1t so late he said: 'I do not think the interest of the state would be promoted by another long session, lasting ufAny months which might possibly follow. if one was called at an early date"
