An Austrian laborer who took part
in the Identification tells how 10th
happened to be singled out. The Aus
trian returned to his, native country
last year, and in confession made
before the authorities there last De-
cember said that while he was stand

summoned to view the suspects he
stumbled and fell over cuspidor.

in revenge, pointed Andy out as the
guilty man. Andy was not even iden-
titled by his right name, but was
pointed out as Steve 10th" which
was the name of a foreigner who had
disappeared from the mill a short
time after the killing and who was
no relation to Andy 10th.
The other foreigners, following
sheeplike, all pointed out Andy 10th.
The case was "railroaded" through
the courts. He was "only Hunkie"
and had few friends. For years after
he was taken to the penitentiary he
insisted that his name was not Steve
but Andy 10th, yet no one would list
en- to him.
The confession made in Austria
reached Governor Tener only last
month and he at once ordered an in
vestigation. This showed that 10th
had left the mill an hour before the
murder was committed. The pardon
followed immediately.

FAIRFIELD :

While Game Warden Wilbur b.
Smith was in town on Friday he ex-
pressed his opinion about some of the
proposed alterations in the game laws.
He was of the opinion that the close
season in the autumn might well be
extended for a couple of weeks, un-
til the foliage is all off, thus giving
hunters a better chance to find game.
And he did not believe that the time
has come for permission to shoot deer.
TT is possible that in some of the
countries in this State they may be
doing a little damage, but not enough
to cause the prohibition to be remov-
ed. He was in favor of county laws
for the deer question, and said that
Fairfield county is especially situated
for such laws, since it is separated
from other counties by something
more than an imaginary line, viz, a
river. Mr.. Smith always on the alert
in the interests of preserving game, has
been in Hartford watching the prepos-
ed legislation.
Friday last Mrs. Charles S. Fox
gave a whist in honor of her birthday.
followed by a musical, and luncheon.
The guests included William o. Fred,
and Henry Burr and their wives, John
r. Taylor ana Wife, Simon Q. Brac:ey

of New York, Mr.. Sartain and wife,

THE CURTAILMENT OF
INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS
Telegram)

CTelegram.)
With his accustomed faithfulness tic
duty, Major Boudren arises to pro test
against the supineness Of city authori-
ties and other alleged representatives
of the people in regard to the various
Legislature. The reproach is a just
one; but this indifference to public
welfare Is by no means confined to
this class of lawmaking. There are
always bills passed at each session
which would never have possessed the
slightest chance of a place upon the
statute books If the public had been
vouchsafed an fnkling of their real
intent. 1t Is not until the mischief
resulting from them begins. that the
people they affect become acquainted
with their existence. A line or two
of mention, which is 50 vague that no
definite information can be cleaned
from it, is all the press often bestows
upon measures, which in one way or
another, aim at curtailing the liberties
citizens of free country ought to en-
joy, as a matter of course. - If the
mass Of such enactments which have
become portions of the general body
of Connecticut laws, during the last
ten years, could be gathered into a
single volume, an amazed and indig-
nant public would confront the makers
of them. Few people realize the ex-
tent to which they have unwittingly
allowed their inheritance of personal
liberty to be impaired.
1t may even happen that the mem
bers of city councils are innocent in
this matter of their apparent neglect
and have been as ignorant as the rest
OF the world of what was being done
quietly. and practically in secret. But
there is no excuse for legislators who
have made no effort to ascertain the
state of public feeling in regard to
such radical departures from prece-
dent, or even to warn their constitu-
ents that they were contemplated.
The full text of such proposed laws
should be published in every news
paper in the State and no action
should be taken upon them until the
General Assembly is assured that pub
lication has been made.
