VETERAN, DEAD
Passes Away This Morning

\ and Hyperion in New Ha-
ven-Friend of Barnum

George B. Bunnel1. one of the last
of the old school of showmen con-
temporary with P T. Barnum, died
at his residence in Greens Farms this
morning after a lingering illness of
Brights disease. He was rs years of
age.
Mr.. Bunnen was best known to
BridgepOrterS through his manager
ship of Hawe's opera house, the
original Legitimate" house Of Bridge
port, standing where Polls theatre is
now located. He acquired this house
in the SOS and for many years it
was known as Bunnell's, and was the
chief amusement place in Fairfield
county. Mr.. Bunnell retained this
house until about 1890, when he ac-
Quired the Hyperion theatre in New
Haven, of which he was the lessee
and manager until his retirement in
1904.
George b Bunnell was giant in
stature and was typical of what is
known as the "old school, of show
men, which flourished in the days OF
dime museums" He was for 20
years associated with Barnum and
had many Of that great showman's

After obtaining employment with p.
T. Barnum, he contracted with that
magnate to run his side show, con-
sisting of two or three old cages and

Mr.. Bunnen bore a striking re-
sem mblance to his employer and was
many times mistaken for the great

to appear the people began to roar
and shout, and finally threatened a
stampede unless the manager was
forthcoming.
Quick as q flash Mr.. Bunnell, who
was a giant in statue, sent page into
the ring, who tremblingly announced
that p. T. Barnum would make his
usual appearance at the close OF the
following act. In the meantime G. b.

on their hands
Kemper disappeared some weeks
ago and Poole's son Emery accused
his father of having killed him and
taken possession of his clothing. He
told the sheriff that his father was
wearing the missing mans clothes
and had taken his effects to his room
When the sheriff interviewed the old
farmer he told the detectives his sou
was lying and aided them in digging
up space in the backyard where
young Poole said the body would be
found. Nothing came of the search
and Poole was not arrested.
Despite this, the police took pos
session of a pair of Poole's boots
which were bloodstained and a hatch
ct similarly marked.
Yesterday afternoon, while plowing,
Emery Poole dug up a mutiliated
body. Both legs were severed and
the trunk and head badly nutilated
but Emery said he was certain it was
that of Kemper. He notified the
sheriff who at once arrested John
Poole.
1t was said by Emery Poole that
three former employees of his father,
ali of whom had money and jeweIry,
mysteriously disappeared and the po-
lice are going on the theory that
Poole murdered them and disposed of
their bodies on the farm.

DENOUNCES
USURY
Pleads Before Legislative
Committee for Law to
Prevent the Mulcting of
Needy People.
fBy our Special Cores,

Hartford May 3-The hearing on
the bill introduced by Representative
Joshua Meltzer aimed at the loan
sharks so-called was held before the
judiciary committee, yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Meltzer made an admirable
presentation Of the case against the
continuation of the practices now in
vogue on the part of many engaged in
the loan business He said under the
present law it was impossible to sue
cessfully prosecute offenders as the
lenders successfully placed themselves
behind the excuse that their loans
were based upon chattel mortgages
and most of their usurious charge
was laid up to the expenses incidental
to a personal investigation. Mr.. Melt
zer said there were instances in the
City Of Bridgeport which had come to
his attention where usury was prac-
ticed and he regretted to see there
was no law against it in this state.
Mr. Meltzer introduced Mayor E. T.
Buckin CHAM of Bridgeport who he
said had taken a commendable inter-
est in the effort to stamp out this
nefarious practice. Mayor Bucking-
ham said he appeared in the interest
of a great many poor men and poor
women in the City of Bridgeport. He
was talking in favor of an element in
our population that could not afford
to be represented by paid attorneys.
He had caused e personal inveStiga-
ton to be made into the conduct of
this business, using detectives, and
had secured evidence that in some
instances poor people who had pat
ronized loan sharks in Bridgeport
were compelled to pay from so to 100
per cent per annum upon the money
borrowed. He believed such a condi-
ton was shocking and disgrace to
the State. He told of his Intellectual
efforts to secure prosecution. He said
in ms vr-rn n N
made to secure an arrest the prose-
cutors had said that under the law
they were unable to make out case,
as the lenders claimed that their loans
We're based upon chattel mortgages
and what appeared to be an excessive
charge as interest on the loan was
really due to the expense Of personally
investigating the chattel mortgages
Mayor buckingham said that men
and women frequently signed papers
In these loan offices without knowing
or understanding. just exactly what
they were placing their names to. He
said he had in his possession evidence
to show that in some cases instead Of
signing one paper as they supposed.
carbon sheets were being used and
their signatures appeared upon as
many as three documents. He said
that in his Judgment the pawn brok-
er is a charitable man compared to
some of these so-called Illegal money
lenders He said that frequently
since he became Mayor of Bridgeport
he has been addressed and appealed
to by letter and in person by many
poor people who have asked him to
use his offices to prevent them from
being robbed by some of these money
lenders In closing he said Gentle
men. this is not guess work with me.
What I have said is based upon a
stringent personal investigation and
have the books and papers to back
up my statements"
