Mrs. Ferguson
 With Guide In
 Woods a Month
Reason Why Her Husband Is Seeking Divorce-Gets
 Custody of Child

That Emily Carstairs Ferguson had been alone with a guide in the Maine woods for five years, was one of the reasons advanced by her husband 8 lawyers in the Superior court this morning why her II yeari old daughter should not be left in Mrs Ferguson 8 custody. Mrs. Ferguson who is at present living in New York, is being sued for divorce by Walter Fergu- son, Jr., who has a handsome home at ing this morning before Judge Bur- pee was held to determine who should have the custody of the child. We don't want to go into this mess,'' declared Attorney Shipman of Hartford. representing Ferguson. "We don't want to unseal these dispositions and tell what happened while Mrs. Ferguson and her daughter were camping in Maine.'' Then the law yer proceeded to explain that Mrs. Ferguson had gone away with a guide, who is named as correspondent in the divorce suit, and had been absent for five weeks, leaving her daughter in the camp.
 Mrs. Ferguson is in delicate health and her counsel had pr. E. H. Pue and Dr. John B, Musser of New York in court to testify that it would be nec- essary for her to go away for the summer either to a sanatorium in New York state or to some outdoor camp.
 Judge Burpee decided in view of Mrs. Ferguson's condition, that the child should be given into the fath> er's charge but the mother might see her daughter at reasonable intervals.
 Mrs. Ferguson'S counsel made a motion that the divorce trial be post poned until autumn because their client is not strong enough to stand the ordeal now. Judge Burpee said that he doubted if the case would be reached during the present term so he would postpone the matter.

Hartford, June 7.-After a debate lasting an hour and a half and dur ing which the virtues of women were extolled to the skies, the state House of Representative, this afternoon, defeated the municipal woman suff- rage bill by vote of 168 to 49.
 A motion to. reconsider was lost which means that there will be no woman suffrage bill passed at this session of the legislature. The state Senate passed the bill.
 This amendment was greeted with laughter. Representative Peck, of Bedding, spoke in favor of the amendment and vigorously proclaim ed We gentlemen of the state want this amendment in the bill.''
 Representative Bingham, of Nau- gatuck, said that the amendment was not offered in seriousness but if it was that he would favor it.
 Representative Sherman of West Hartford, said that the measure was too important to joke over. He was in the midst of what the foreign countries were doing with regard to woman suffrage and what this coun- try was doing when Representative Dunn, of Willimantic, arose to point talking on the subject before the House.
 The Speaker disa1lowed the point of order and told Sherman to pro- ceed.
 As soon as Sherman restarted the members of the House commenced a rough house." Speaker Scott bang ed for order. Sherman proceeded un- der difficulties. The women of the state were not being treated. fairly in this state.

Neither do l." agreed Britt. did

Not that l am aware of" replied
Mrs Missioner.
Britt eyed the woman impressively
1--WE must bear in mind" he said
that whoever stole the jewels must
have been in possession of the real
necklace long enough to have du-
plicate made Either that, or he must
have been so familiar with every
stone in the setting as to enable him
to have duplicates made from descrip-
ton. The only reasonable 0upposition
is that the duplicate was made direct
ly FROM the original. 1t is barely pos
sible, however, that some other means
were employed"
THAT is the most puzzling feature
of the theft" said Mrs. Missioner.
How long have you known Mr..
Sands" asked Britz.
From girlhood.
"And Mr.. Griswold?"
About five years"
Both saw th@ necklace on you fire.
Quenuy?"
VERY often"
After several thoughtful moments.
Britt remarked:
THE only one who could have taken
the necklace out of the safe without
your knowledge was Miss Holcomb.
One of the original diamonds was
found in her room. 1t is absolutely
clear to me that she is innocent"
do you really think so?' the Wild
ow asked eagerly.

stole the necklace" answered Britt.
Then we must get her out OF jail

But it is cruel, it is inhuman, to
keep her in prison." protested Mrs.
Missioner.
1T is necessary" assured Britt.
my dear madam, don't excite your
self. My laundering colleagues have
done all the harm they can possibly
do to Miss Holcomb. Far more i'm
portant than the recovery of the neck
lace is the establishment of her in
nocence in the eyes Of the world.
With all the suspicious circumstances
of this case woven about her, your
mere belief in her innocence will not
clear her. Therefore, you will have
to leave this entire matter in my
hands"
The widow bowed submissively. A
shade of sorrow crept over her face
as she contemplated the plight of her
secretary.
May l go to the jail and assure her
of my belief In herr" she asked.
That would be fatal" replied the
detective.
Then what can l dol must do
something for her." groaned Mrs. Mis-

nevertheless, ceased to struggle
