New Haven Was Murdered.

New Haven, Conn, Aug. 1.-That
Mrs Rosalind- NJ. Starr shot and Killed
John Mclaughlin at the Starr home
in Orange is the verdict of Coroner Eli
Mix fled today. Mrs. STAIRS story
that Mclaughlin shot himself by acct
dent during struggle between the
man and herself for possession OF a
loaded shotgun is discounted bv the
coroner. who says that from the evil
dence Mrs. Starr shot Mclaughlin de-
liberately after an all-d day quarrel and
then placed the broken gun by his
side to give the appearance OF acct
dent or suicide. He therefore holds
Mrs. Starr criminally responsible Tor
McLaughlin's death.
In his finding the coroner says that
Mclaughlin had been employed on the
farm in Orange owned by Mrs. Starr
for six or seven years For the past
year and half she and her husband
had not lived together, having quar-
relied frequently, and during some OF
the quarrels Mrs. Starr had threatened
her husband with revolver and gun,
and at one time had shot at him. Dur
ing the year and a halls she had been
managing the farm with the as
sistance of Mclaughlin. Both. says
the coroner, had INDUCED in intoxicat-
ing drinks and quarrels between them
were frequent. Continuing. the co..
oner says that on Friday afternoon,
July Fl. they had a quarrel during
which horsewhip was broken and
angry words exchanged. Early Satur-
day morning Mclaughlin did not APP
pear about the place and later was
found asleep by Mrs. Starr in the hay
loft of the barn. Later in the day she
awakened him and quarrel followed.
The finding then continues:
From an extended, careful and
thorough investigation, and from ex-
animation of the premises, 1 am Of
the opinion thereafter the quarrel COIL
tinued; that at about $50 p. m. Mrs.
Starr entered the barn, found Nc
Laughlin there took a shotgun belong
ing to her which was in the barn Il
diseharging the same at him inflicted
a mortal wound in the right side Of
the neck about one-half inch below
the angle. of the jaw, from which he
instantly died: that she
then broke away the stock from the
barrel of the gun and attempted to
hide it in the hay in the hayloft: that
later she placed the gun beside the
deceased, the stock being upon his left
arm the barrel parallel with his body,
and, going to a neighbor's, stated. John
was hurt. or shot. or killed. and that
he had been accidentally shot while
they were struggling for possession OF

STOLE DOCTORS HARNESS.
Physician Came From Call on Patien+
To Find Only Carriage.

DR.. Myron A. Cooley of North Main
street was called to S97 East Main
street early Wednesday morning to
attend a patient. He tied his horse a
few doors above the house he visited
says the Waterbury American.
While the doctor was busy with his
patient someone was busy with his
horse. The animal was unhitched and
the entire harness was stolen. Then
the horse was turned loose When
DR.. Cooley left the house he saw his
wagon but no horse. The police were
notified and discovered the horse on
Kingsbury street. 1t looked as though
whoever stole the harness tried to pry
off the horses shoes, too. A search
was made for the harness, but none
could be found.
The theft is one of the most Jdar-
ing the police have had to handle in
some time. Nothing was taken from
the wagon. The theft occurred shortly
after J. o'clock. DIR. Cooley misses the
harness, but he is thankful for. the
horse.@

THE wooDPILE.

When winter climbed the hill Of March
though spring seemed faf
And the long school term had ended
with its exhibition day,
Then father'd mildly venture, a. he

It's time to tackle it,
OF course we'd srow1 a little. but We
knew the. ways of fate,
And fathers mild suggestions were not
open to debate.
Behind the shed it reared its bulk; a
mountain. SO it seemed,
Surcharged with Nightmares full the
worst that ever boyhood dreamed,
The drifts were deep upon its top; for,
The creaking hobs had hauled 1T from
the woodlot to the door.
And o, the bucksaw battle with those
All cut sied-1ength, and closely held in
clasp Of ice and snow'
The gnar1y maple and the twisted ASH
that bites and binds,
The elm, the birch, the beech, the oak
and other upland kinds
All these were waiting, trunk and limb,
within the tangled mas,
But mighty little fir or spruce, or pop
lar, pine or bass.
The first day was the worst. I guess;
and every little while
We'd stop to rest our backs and arms,
but we couldn't force smile.
Our lot was deemed the hardest that
our lives would ever see.
And our hearts were filed with envy
of the snowbfrds in the tree.
The neighbors driving by would pause
to pass a friendly word.
But If they tried to Joke, we'd make as
il we never heard.
o. how we loved the dinner-beIl, And
when the day was done
The chores we'd never hankered for
seemed little less than fun.
And sleep? My SOUL the way we boys
would sleep throughout the night
was something never known in homes
Kept warm by anthracite.
So~day by day we sawed and split and
chopped and piled, until
The pride of something done com
menced to stir us with its thrill.

The pile that seemed so vast at first
grew small like anything.
Then father'd say. You're doing fne~'

While we would buckle to our tasA az
