Not Hiring Counsel for Geidel.
Hartford, August THAT the Heu-
blein brothers, or any member of that
family, have anything to do with the
hiring of counsel for Paul Geidel. the
youthful murderer of Broker Jackson
in New York, is strongly denied by
both Col. Louis F. Heublein and Gill
bert F. Heublein. Any references in
the newspapers to wealthy hotel men
of Hartford being back of the defense
for the boy, is absolutely without foun-
dation. Colonel Heublein said today
if any inference is drawn that it re-
fers to the Heubleinl family.
Not, for an instant would we con-
done any such brutal crime as this boy
has committed" said Colonel Heu-
blein.
ct is the most cold blooded murder
I ever heard of, and it seems to me
there is no escape from the electric
chair for that boy unless he is proven
insane. Moreover, it is ridiculous to
assume that we would have anything
to do with the defense of this young
murderer, when we had lost all con-
fidence in the boy ourselves, and had
to discharge him from our employ
because of his untruthfulness.
WHY. that boy. with his angel face,
would look you in the eye and lie
as deliberately as could be-" said Col
onel Heublein, "and so far as our
wanting to help the fellow. no. We
did what we could for him when we
employed him at our hotel but we
found him scamp. He had good
mother and We felt sorry for her and
we gave her employment, but when
my brother went to her and told her
the boy was going wrong she stopped
working for US and gave as her rea-
son that she did not want to work for

Hartford. August 1.-The second ve-

the resolution which passed both
houses granting divorce to Herman

and Agnes Lisiecki Schmidt. but with
proviso which postpones the taking
effect of the divorce to some future

The Governors Objections.
The governors objections are: In
my judgment all legislative divorces
are prohibited by the constitution Of
the United States There are but
few states of the union in which they
have been permitted Congress has
for many years forbidden them in the
| territories of the United States.
Previous Legislative Diverse Case
Prior to the adoption of the Four

| of the United States two cases Of leg

before the supreme court of errors
and their validity was sustained by
divided court. The first and main case
was SO decided on grounds that have
/ since been declared untenab1e by the
same court.

| At the dates of the two cases first
mentioned the power of state to
grant such a legislative divorce wss
not limited by any provision in the

LAWS
Would Deny Woman Equal Psetsetisn
OF Law.
The divorce which the resolution un-
| der consideration purports to grant
seems to me to deny to Agnes Lisiecki
| Schmidt the equal protection Of the
law.
Superior Court Has Exclusive Juris-
diction.
| General statutes, section 1851. pro-
| vide that "the superior court shall

Must Be BY Decree Of Judicial Tri-

| If other married women are divorced
at the suit of their husbands. It must
be by decree of a judicial tribunal
before which they are summoned and
may be heard in their own behalf;
! nor can such divorce suit be main

\ Gifted in the general statutes. Tho

by the general laws Of Connecticut,
