WILL BRING SUIT
 FOR $5O,OOO FOR
 BEING ARRESTED
Bridgeport Man Claims His Brother-in-Law Trumped up Charges Against Him

Papers are being made out in a suit for $50,000 damages for false arrest, and property in Bridgeport, New York and Brooklyn will be at The bringer of the suit is Andrew Troppani, a restaurateur of Al Wa ter street who was today released from custody after having been ar rested at the behest of his brother in-law, Rocco Sciano of BIT 10th street, Brooklyn.
 The Bridgeport man declares that his arrest was trumpedup bit of malicious work on the part of his brother-in-law and accordingly is ar- ranging to sue him for the sum named The fact that Prosecuting ed to recommend a nolle in the case of Troppani seems to vindicate his claim.
 Troppani was taken into custody by the local poIice on March 13, on complaint of his brother-in-law who alleged that the Bridgeport man had broken into his stables in Brooklyn and stolen a valuable pair of horses.
 The Brooklyn police were notified and they in turn got into communica- tion with the Bridgeport authorities and caused Troppani's arrest as fugitive from justice.
 Protesting that he was the victim of a plot, Troppani was arraigned in the city court and held under bonds of $2.O00. That the case will be nolled was decided after an investi- gation by the local authorities. y
 Troppani claims that the whole affair was a plot to railroad him to prison while the estate of his dead wife is in the process of settlement. Troppani's wife was the sister of Sciano, and the Bridgeport man claims that Sciano conceived a gigan- fio c0I fn roi ri y1- law to jail on a trumped-up charge, and then divert the funds of his sis ter's estate. s,4-
 Troppani claims that both the New York and Bridgeport authorities were mislead by his brother-in-law and ac- cordingly is suing for heavy damages as the result of having been imprison- ed upon false charges.

 which she was one of the best known members. Her demise has occasion ed especially keen grief afnong her own people, who rejoiced over the ar- rival of her second child, a daughter, on March IT, and who had made ela- borate plans for a summer of enjoy ment in the new residences erected by her father.
 E. T. Bedford was anxious that his grandchild should be born in the new Schiott residence, and to that end Of- fered substantial premiums to the contractors to hurry the work. The new $75,000 residence was ready for occupancy three weeks ago, and on March 10, a week before the birth of the child the Schiott family moved in.
 Lieut.. Schott, the bereaved husband, |, relative to the death of Mrs Schiott:
 After the birth of the child on March IT, my wife recovered very quickly. There was no trouble at the birth. Her family came to the house and seemed quite pleased at the way denly something seemed to change her condition. Not understanding what it was, we called in a physician, pr. Blackman from Bridgeport, on Friday evening last. She seemed to recuperate nicely and we thought 1t was coming out all right. We noti- fled the family that we had called in a physician. Her father proposed that we get a specialist, Dr. Dorman, of New York. He came up here Sa t. urday morning. He worked in con- nection with Dr. Blackman and found that what Dr. Blackman had done was according to his views. Then she recovered slightly, in the afternoon. We had great hopes. Tn fact, the family spoke of returning to New York. But during the evening she was seized with convulsions and the

HUDSON IS DENOUNCED

Representative Hall, of Wilmington, spoke in favor of Judge Mathewson.
 s.I,he history of this whole case is ren,,lsive to me. In the first place the resolution did not emana)te from the citizens of New Haven. AS l un- derstand. when Attorney Webb was asked by friends of his whether he would be a, candidate for judge he re- piled that his name was in the hands of T. Henry Roraback and he could do with it as he saw lit.
 s.Tf this petition did not originate in New Haven as it ought to have orig inated. then it must have been an at tack upon a man whom they want to r,hliterate politically and against whom a. determined effort Is being made.
 CT understand that four of the six Represen ratives and Senators rom New Haven favor Judge Mathewson. Thirteen members of the New Haven Board of Aldermen favor him and a majority of the members of the Re- nu1hlican State Central committee.
 Here Representative Hall paused for at least "a minute and gazing about the House, thundered:
 s"There is a power somewhere, gen t1emen that we can't see, and it puts me in mind of a story of the China man when he first saw an electric car. He couldn't see the power that made if eo In explaining it's working to fellow counpryman he said: NO pushee, no pullee, but go Nike Hellee.',
