WilIimantiC Pastor As Girls Spiritual Adviser Would
 Not Reply
ALLEGED HE ADVISED
 HER TO RETURN HOME
Judge Arnold Reads Statement Saying State Has Been
 Injured
Especial from United Press.)

Willimantic, Feb. 3-In the local police court, this morning, Judge Will liam A. Arnold asked if Rev. J. J. Papillon, pastor of St. Mary's Roman Catholic church was in court to ex- plain why he advised Fortunette TrudeI to leave the city and return to her parents home, while she was the complaining witness against Ez- Zelius Phanuef, on a charge of rape There was no answer. For 10 min utes, Judge Arnold waited to hear from Father Papillon and then read the following statement condemntng the absence of the pastor:
 It is an occasion for regret that Rev Paptllon has not seen fit to take advantage of this chance given him to explains the letter in which it is stated that he advised the complaint ing witness in the case of the state against Phanuef to absent herself from the trial.s It is not a question whether the accused raped and violat- ed a young and innocent girl of 19 years crime more vicious and seri- ous than any save murder, it is a tfcut is supreme and whether or not justice can be thwarted by anyone no matter how well meaning
 ''The State of Connecticut and not Fortunette Trudel was the plaintiff and if a crime has been committed, the state of Connecticut has been in 1ureO as well as MISS 1rudeI. Even though the complainant herself might be disinclined to pursue her case the state, not merely for the sake of pun ishmen- but as an example for others who might also lose control of their passions, was bound to try the is sue involved. Without assuming the Rev. Papfllon, is responsible for the of the principal wit ness in this case, such a construction may be placed upon his absence and lack of explanation"
 At th4s point in the reading Rev J. J. Papillon, who had been seated all this time at the rear of the spec tators' benches, arose and made him self known.
 Amid dramatic silence he was in the bar. Judge Arnold asked the pas tor if he knew Fortunette Trud-l
 ''Yes," answered Father Papillon.
 "Did you advise her to leave the city?" asked the judge.
 ''As her spiritual adviser replied the priest, q refuse to answer the question" And with this reply, Rev Papillon left the court room.
 Judge Arnold continued with the reading of his statement. He outlin- ed the laws under which Rev. Papillon had been called to appear to answer to the charge of having interfered these words:
 '.The lack of proper legal evidence compels the authorities to drop this ma tier here. But the court feels com pelled to make this statement as read as a warning to others in the future who might be inclined to hinder or obstruct justice in these matters"

 Domestic troubles and temporary insanity are said to have caused the tragedy. The victims were found where they fell before the maniac's farmhouse.

Near smokehouse lay the body of the child, John, with the throat cut from ear to ear: On the kitchen floor, the three children found their sister Dora with a gaping wound in her throat.
 The body of the suicide was found in the yard near that of John. He had cut his own throat with a butch CT knife, the same weapon. he had used upon his sister and brother. The bloody knife lay under his body. The three boys who made the discovery, George, Walter and Edward, fled to the home of a neighbor and told the frightful story.

War Department Gives Warning Of Another ManeuVaT Camp
 Along Border
DISQUIETING. MESSAGES
 FROM GOVERNOR GOLQUITT
Rebels Now Have Peace EnVOYS Out To Treat With
 MadeTO'S Men
Especial from United Press.) )

Washington, Feb. 3-Without the formality of a diplomatic note, such as that served on Cuba, two weeks ago, Uncle Sam. today, showed his mailed fist to Mexico and by orders issued at the war department giving warning that another "maneuver camp might be established along the boundary line.
 The decision to make ready for an armed demonstration was taken fol. lowing further disquieting messages, today, from Governor Colquitt, Of Texas, and Ambassador Nelson, at Mexico City. It is hoped that the mere threat of such a step will be sufficient but it is believed if the warning does have this effect the wal department will back it up with sew eral thousand troops, now being pre- pared for hurried mobilization along the border.
 The two regiments of troops now at San Antonio were, today, provided with marching rations and field equip ment.
 Three thousand men in posts near est the line were ordered to make ready for possible quick trip to Fl Paso. The three hundred cavalryTnen now at Fl Paso comprise too small a force to cope with the situation, in the opinion of the department, parti- cularly should the rebels defeat the Federal trops in their expected bat tie.
 Fl Paso, Feb. 8-Although three peace envoys' representing the Juarez mutineers are enroute to meet General Oroszco and treat with the Mexican FederaIs, it was announced, today that -Juaraz has been selected as the headquarters of the provisional government. headed by pr. Emilio Vasquez Gomez.
 The revolutionary junta at Juarez, after making this announcement, sent word to Gomez at San Antonio. Tex, to hasten to Juarez and take charge. The junta also decided to send a rep resentative to Washington to seek to confer with President Taft regarding the status of the new revolutionary government.
 That the trouble at Juarez is not ended is indicated by the fact that all the Americans who frequent that city and the surrounding towns are hur- rying to Fl Paso. The Madero gov, ernment officials have also sent a large amount of government property across from Juarez for safe keep ing.
