 It was the plea of a woman whose cherished dream of love and a. home had been shattered and who no long CT cared for life. The letter was made public after the prob ate court had re- fused to award pr. Suggs a large sum for professional services. J. s. Me Cullough, husband of the dead woman, denies the authenticity of the letter, which was typewritten. The letter purpOrtS to have been written a few moments before she drained the poi son vial that was to cause her death.

Boy Coasts Into Auto And Gets
 Fractured Skull

New Haven. Feb. Milton Wood ward, of F Lilac street, a lad of 19 years Of age. may lose his life as the result of the desire which seized him yesterday afternoon to try a coast down the St. Roman street hill Wood ward was employed as a lamplighter by the New Haven Gas Light com pany. His work carried him through St. Roman street, where a number of boys were coasting and being moved to take part in the run he borrowed an ice sled from one of the boys Un- luckily for him just as he got to the bottom of the hill the automobile of J. J. Newman of 1152 Chapel street. driven by Frederick Frye, sweryed out from the curb where it had been standing, and ran into him.
 The boy was taken into the auto mobile at once and rushed to Dr. B. Austin Cheney's sana torium on Whit ney avenue. Later he was taken to the New Haven hospital. where 1t was found that he had a fractured skull. His condition is considered critical, and his recovery is doubtful.

NO CARETAKER ELECTED
Putnam Park Commission Postpone Selection Until Next Saturday,
 Two Candidates.
Especial to The Farmerl

Bedding, Feb. 7-The Putnam Park commission failed to elect a park caretaker at their last meeting, as they had expected to do, adjournins to next Saturday for decisive acton on the matter. Only two candidates Johnson who has filled the position since last spring and Thomas Delaney, the former caretaker who was made the subject by last years commission of a controversy, resulting in a dead lock. The present commission went so far last Thursday as to decide that they had no further use for Johnson and passed a vote to that effect, thereby terminating his enga cement by March 1. On MT. Delaney's behalf there were presented to the meeting natures of residents of Bedding, Bethel and Danbury. Com. Henry A. Gilbert of Bethel has been doing hard work for Delaney and while none of the members who attended Thursdays meeting committed himself positively the sentiment towards the former caretaker seemed friendly and he would seem to be assured of the ap- pointment aside from the possible rivalry of new candidates who may come forward before next Saturday.
