COL. CORNWEL.L SUICIDE
SOCIETY MAN AND SOLDIER PUT
BULLET IN HIS HEAD WHEN
FACING TROUBLE.
SHOT HIMSELF IN MOUTH

Commander OF Pennsylvania Ma
tionaI Guard Charged With Lar
ceny After Trust. ''Good Night,
Dear" Farewell Note to Wife.
PHILADELPHIA.~-Col Gibbons
Gray Cornweil of the Sixth regiment
national guard of Pennsylvania. who
was a prominent lawyer and society
man of Westchester, committed sui
eide tonight on a train on which ne
was returning from New York TO MS
home town to face charges OF appro-
priating bonds belonging to a trust
estate. Sitting beside the constable
as the train approached West Phila-
delphia station he leaned over the
seat in front where he had placed
dress suit case. Pretending to be
sleeping he quietly opened the suit
case and drew out a silver mounted
revolver which had been presented
to him by officers of his regiment.
Before the constable was aware OF
what was going on he had placed
the weapon in his mouth and shot
himself through the head. A physi-
clan said that death had been instan-
taneous.
Represented Large Estate.
Col. Cornwell was partner in the
law business founded by his father,
Capt. r. T. Cornwell, which repre-
sented a number of large estates.
While the regiment which he rep
resented was in camp one of his cli-
ents died, leaving a will in which
other executors were named for the
estate which he held in trust. Inves-
tigation on the part of the new exec
utors, it is alleged, led to the dis
covery that number of bonds be-
longing to the estate were missing.
Col. Cornwell, who failed to re-
turn home when the regiment broke
camp a week ago, was taken into
custody last night in New York, but
was released today on his promise
to return home with the constable.
Returning Home to Face Charges.
He Indignantly denied that there
was anything wrong with his ac-
counts and at the beginning of his
return home seemed in good spirits,
but as he neared his destination be-
came morose and finally ended his
life.
News of the tragedy was te1e-
graphed to Westchester, where prep
arations had been made to give Col.
Cornwell hearing tonight. Col.
Cornwell was charged in West
chester warrant with the larceny of
three bonds valued at $4,000 each
from the estate of Alice P. Darling
ton of Westchester, but from the
first the colonel protested his inno-
cence.
Big Trust Funds.
Although it had been estimated
that the amount of trust funds Col.
Cornwell would have been called up
on to account for exceeds 100000
those engaged in Investigating his
affairs have thus far made no detail
ed public statement. He left no
message showing the extent of his
alleged shortage.
A letter addressed to his wife
while on the train, with 1925 to be
given to her by the constable, was
opened late tonight and found to
contain only the words, Good night,
dear" 1t was signed Colonel"

WI that of her mother, Mrs. Ulrich,
when she registered at the De Soto

The fact that she was coming 70

arrival however, and those who
nora expecting her had no difficulty
tn generating her incognitO.
Mrs, Grace and her mother arrived

Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace, Daisy OF

has been pictured. The hardships
Of countless natures which she has
endured since the night that her
husband, Eugene Grace, was found
slowly bleeding to death from a mys-
terious wound which he says his
wife inflicted, have not broken her
health.
Unless it be indicated by the hard
ness at the corners of her thin-lipped
resolute mouth, or about her strik-

she has but few days since been
tried on the charge of attempting to
kill her husband for his life insur-
ance has passed from Mrs. Grace's
mind.
No Longer a Beauty.
There is nothing of the beauty
about Mrs. Grace Now, whatever she
may have looked in other days.
Mrs. Grace was clad in brown and
wore a brown hat, which made her
look much different from her innum-
cradle photographs as they were
taken while she affected a wide
brimmed, fappy panama.
She looked to weigh between 100
and 40 pounds, and showed every
ounce of it. Those about the hotel
who expected to see a beautiful wo-
man were disappointed.

Early in the afternoon Mrs. Grace,
after asking some question regard

Norwich District Superintendents
Heads of Sunday Schools Meet and Hear Addresses by
 Prominent Speakers.

secretary should not be allowed to in- terrupt the lessons, for Miss Stooker said she thought more secretaries in Connecticut were spelling the teachers lessons by needless intrruptions than any one other thing. Visits for the superintendents to the departments should be arranged by the department leaders. It is the place of the super intendent to provide trained teachers for the elementary classes, and in this connection there should be teacher tT raining classes. The superintendent should also provide trained parents, for parents are waking up to the fact that the church can help them to know how to give their children re- liglous training.
 Miss Stookers talk was followed by a discussion on teacher training class es, and the executive committee was assigned to meet MT. Woodin, the state superintendent, for a conference in regard to teacher training classes
 Rev. MT. Wright spoke upon the Superintendent Relations to the Off, ffcers, saying that he believed the school would be what the sUperin- tendent makes it. He emphasized the points that there must be a mutual understanding and single purpose making for team work under care fully organized officers with whom the superintendent will frequently meet
 Thanks to both Miss Stooker and Rev. Mir. Wright were voted and the next meeting was set to be held at the Church of the Good Shepherd in the month of March.

RIVER CLOSED BY ICE. Impossible to Get Through Except to the Riverside ShiPyard.

The ice embargo in Thames river is on, and Allyn's Point, the coal ship ping station for the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad is locked up tight, as far as all prac- tical purposes are concerned. The shtpyard at Riverside is accessible by a channel being kept open. The ice on the river near the Thames draw bridge measures 5 1-2 inches.
 At Allyn's point three big ship barges and a schooner are discharged and await tugs to tow them down. Tug Gertrude started up Tuesday morn nig for that purpose, but after bucl5ing the lower edge of the ice near the bridgt, found she could make no i'm precision and gave it up. The only only other steamer capable of blowing through the ice is the Tasco, and it is expected that the ship owners, who are interested in either getting hulls down from the Point or getting loaded dulls there, will combine to get the use of the big steamer in breaking out a path.
 The big ship barge Felix is wait ing in New London harbor to go to the Point, and the owners are anxious to get her there.

THERMos BOTTLE COMPANY
 RECEIVED WITH OPEN ARMS
Proposition Considered the Best Nor wieh Has Had-Mueh Enthusiasm Over Raising the Necessary Fund.

The chief topic of conversation on Tuesday was the proposition as set forth in The Bulletin of getting the American Thermos Bottle company to locate it's plant in this city. Every where could be heard the arguments in favor of contributing to such an as- sociation as will be formed to erect the building and secure the land.
 It is the best proposition Norwich ever had presented to it in the indus trial line, said one citizen, and the op- p0rtunity should not be allowed to go by default. There were number of earnest advocates of the idea on Tues day and there were not few who were confident that Norwich would not falter in raising the necessary money to clinch the deal, inasmueh as Phila- delphia, Cincinnati and Pougkeepsie all want the plant
 W. r. Hill has been enthusiastically working in behalf of IT. proposition and has already secured two signatures to the plan of organizing an industrial improvement association. The first signer was the Eaton Chase company and the second is James B. Shannon, each taking one share or contributing $750 to the association.
 There has been no solicitation of contributions up to now, but today MT. Hill and others will make @ push along that line, and it is expected that there will be a long list of contributors be- fore the meeting next Monday night With but a month in which to do the work, those back of it feel that as the proposition has merit they will have nc trouble in securing the contributions The company has agreed to come if Norwich does it's part and there re- main just exactly thirty days in which to do it, so that a trifle over three signatures a day will be required. The committee will center all their ener- giSs upon the matter and they art confident of success.
