|POMPY ARRESTED
/ FOR THREATENING
WOMAN With knife

On the technical charges OF breach
Of the peace and assault, a man de-
scribing himself as Felix Pompy. a
painter. aged "a, Of 512 Broome street,
New York. is held at police headquar-
ters in bail Of 5000. pending the COM
pletion of an investigation into a SEN
sational story. disclosed by Katie Car
pen. aged %, upon whose complaint
Pompy was arrested this morning.
She declares that Pompy, whom she
deserted in New York city several
months ago. pursued her here, and
threatened her life. drawing a knife
to emphasize his threat, when he met
her on the street today and she re-
fused to return to the old life.
Patrolman Weston. responding to
the .woman's screams. ran to Court
and Gilbert streets. at $3.50 this morn
ing. and disarmed Pompy. He had
a steel knife. the blade Of which was
broken off an inch from the hilt. which
the girl said he waved as he threat
ened her.
Prosecutor Delaney asked Judge
Foster to hold the man for further
investigation. The court fixed bail at
$500. The Carpen girl admitted she
had been practically enslaved to
Pompy in New York city for more
than year. but tiring of him had
come to Bridgeport. taking up a resi-
dence at 676 Main street. When she
was starting for breakfast today she
met him on the street. He demand
ed that she return at once to New
York, and she refused, she says.

STRANGE ABSENCE
OF MRS. THOMPSON

underhanded in the deal when she
transferred the property Glasner
convinced the police that Mrs. Thomp-
son knew well what she was doing
when she made the sale.
In October. 1909, the property was
sold to Rosie Stirn, but Sallie Glas-
ner of this city held a part interest
when she transferred her interest to
Mrs. Stirn. Mrs. Stirn is a sister-in-
law of Mr.. Glasner.
On top of his discovery came the
equally startling disclosure that Mrs.
Thompson had withdrawn Thompson s
savings and trust funds. $500. from a
local bank. He supposed the ac-
everything to his wife was not GER
tain. He cared not so much for his
own funds as those of two nephews.
for whom he was acting as trustee.
But with characteristic honesty Of
purpose. he has already declared that
his relatives will not be losers by his
wifes conduct.
Mr.. Thompson's plight has excited
the greatest concern and sympathy
we'll as his neighbors. Those who
know the family hold Mrs. Thompson
in the highest esteem, and they are
at a loss to account for her absence,
except that she was not in her normal
mind.
'I have every reason to believe my
wife is a faithful and good woman" :"
said Thompson today. 'I know of no
other way to account for her conduct
than that she is mentally affiliated.
She has had no diversions or habits
that would lead to her spending so
much money. Yet cannot account
for what has become of the money"

BUILDING CODE

ing Samuel H. Wheeler presented
strong opposition to the proposed
building code at the first hearing held
relative to the matter before the al
dermanic ordinance committee last
night. He said that Mr.. Wheeler was
of the opinion that the eNadoption of the

move for the city to take at one
bound. He said that the code was
taken largely from that Of the city
Of Cleveland, Ohio, and that Cleveland
is a larger and wealthier city.
Architect Joseph w. Northrop and
Robert E. Hurley appeared in opposi-
ton to the creation OF the office OF
plumbing inspector. Appearing foI
the measure were State Labor Or

MUL LYIhILL GRATEFUL
FOR HONOR BESTOWED
Ex-Mayor Believes His Nomination
"a county Commissioner Would Be
Confirmed If Representatives
We're Guided by Vote I'm
Fairfield County.

Former Mayor Dennis Mulvihill was
congratulated today, because of the
honor conferred upon, him yesterday,
at Hartford, when the Democratic
County Caucus for Fairfield County
selected him as its choice for county
commissioner.
The former mayor, this morning,
when asked if he believed that the
Republican majority will confirm the
nomination, said: "As to that I cannot
say. If the Assembly approaches the
matter in the same spirit that the vot-
ers did, last November, there would
be no question about it. But Of course
it is true that the Republican ma
jority in the Assembly can do what it
desires to do. regardless Of the ex-
pressed wishes Of the Democratic ma
jority in Fairfield county.
But" continued Mr.. Mulvihill, 81
am very grateful to my Democratic
friends in Bridgeport and elsewhere in
the county for the distinction they
have conferred upon me-"

HARB0R MASTER
NOT To CONTEST
COUSINS Will
He and Other Direct HeirS-at.
Law Are IgnOred-Estate
Amounts to 100000

Harbor Master Charles Morris, his
sister Georgianna and his brother,
Andrew B. Morris. a we'll known con-
tractor at the Wheeler & Wilson
shop. the heirs at law to the 100000
estate of Albert M. Hill of New Ha-
ven. are ignored in the will, which
was filed yesterday. but members of
the Morris family deny that they in
tend to contest the will, which leaves
most of the property to Mrs. Frank
s. Bennington of Stamford.
Mrs. Bennington is the daughter
of Mrs. Eliza johnson, a first cousin.
Harbor Master Morris, his brother
and sister. are first cousins.
Mr.. Hill was retired manufac-
turer and his will which was filed
yesterday, is a remarkable document
in many ways. 1t disposes of the
100000 estate in a number of 1ega-
cies to persons other than the near
est of kin, who are completely ignor-
ed.
The New Haven Journal & Courier
this morning printed a story to the
effect that the heirs have filed notice
of contest. Harbor Master Morris,
when shown this statement by a Far
mer reporter today said:
"1 don't know who can have filed
notice of contest; certainly not any
member of my family.
81 think that Mr.. Hill had a right
to dispose Of his estate just as he saw
fit" continued the harbor master; "I
certainly shall not contest the will un-
less it is proved to me beyond the
shadow of a doubt that Mr.. Hill. was
not in his sound mind when he wrote
the will, or that he was unquestion-
ably subjected to undue influence. OF
course, that puts another light on the
matter. But as matters stand I have
no idea of contest.
'I don't love money enough to at-
tempt to interfere with any man from
disposing of his estate as he sees fit.
81 think the report must have been
erroneous. The only heir who could
have fled a notice of contest is Mrs
Johnson, and as her daughter is the
principal beneficiary under the will,
I hardly think she is likely to contest
the document"
Albert NJ. Hill was a wealthy man
ufacturer, and retired from business
a number Of years ago. One of the
beneficiaries to the extent of several
thousand dollars is Mary L. Potter, a
nurse, who attended him in his last
illness. Most of the o-her legatees
with the exception of Robert d
Townshend of Washington, D. c., to
whom is given large property holt
ings. in North Carolina, Virginia an ]
Maryland, are women.
