Frederick w. DonnelIy, New Haven

than intoxication in connection with
the case of Frank Reed, a barge cap
tain who swallowed quantity of car
bolic acid in Donnelly's presence at
the Grand Hotel in Bank street, yes
terday, after the New Haven man had
purchased it for him.
The authorities are not Inclined to
press any charge against Donnelly,
especially As Reed was reported from
ST. Vincent's hospital this morning as
being very much improved and prob
ably on the road to recovery.
The authorities are inclined to be-
lieve Donnelly's statement that the
acid was purchased to prepare an
antiseptic wash and the other man
drank 1t when dazed by drunkenness.
