ARREST BRIGGS IN Toby CASE.
Several Developments in Mysterious
Affair at Woodstock.

WOODSTOCK, Oct. George W.
Briggs was arrested yesterday in con
nection with the death of Frank j.
Toby. He is in the county Jail. State 5
Attorney Raymond Trainor, Deputy
Sheriff j. H. Ober and Officer c. J.
Gould found Briggs at work for Ellis
r. Eaton.
Tie arrest follows an inquest on the
death of Toby which began last Fri
day and continued Saturday, Monday
and Tuesday 1t will be resumed to-
day. Fifty or more persons have been
examined in secret, including Toby :
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. l.. ?. Toby of
Lima, Ohio.
Stories of a possible tragedy are cir
culated but the public yet knows moth
ing of the result of the inquest except
the arrest of Briggs and no report has
been made by the state laboratory to
which Toby 5 body was sent. One or
two discoveries recently made, how
over, may have bearing on the case.
The hat worn by Toby on the evening
he disappeared has been found three
miles from the c. X. Thompson corn
field near Taftsville village, which in
dicates possibly that he might have
been killed and carried to the corn
field where the body was found.
Toby disappeared on the evening
of August %. On the next or second
morning following automobile tracks
were seen at the entrance to the corn
field. The road passing the corn field
was closed during the building OF a
bridge and the machine having enter
ed the closed road stopped at the corn
field instead of proceeding far enough
to discover if it was passable as other
vehicles had done.
Rumofs that Toby carried a large
sum of money, $1,000 or more, are
denied by his father, who does not
believe he had more than $15 or $50
A dress suit case, said to have been
left by Toby at f. F. Eaton's the
second week in September, is missing
Briggs, who is employed by Mr.
Eaton, is about 80 years old and has
been seen with Toby more or less
since the latter came from the West

COLON. Panama. Oct. >. - Two
earthquakes of an intensity much more
severe than any disturbances since the
Americans took possession of the canal
zone occurred late last night in Pana-
ma. They were felt from this city to
Panama. The first shock as experience
ed was slight, and was quickly fol
lowed by one of longer duration which
shook the buildings to their founda-
tions. The church bells were set to
ringing, doors were thrown wide open
land the residents were brought
tumbling out of their beds. The first
movement lasted about five seconds. 1t
occurred about Il.20 clock. The sec
ond movement was of 10 seconds du-
ration.
The people at midnight gathered in
the streets The Jamaicans who went
4 through the disaster at Kingston and
i the Italians who have had similar eX-
perienees in their home country, were
particularly alarmed. According to the
seismograph there were two slighteI
shocks, but these were practically un-
noticed by the people. The general
movement appeared to be from west to
east. Those who are familiar with
earthquakes said the movement was
more of an upheaval than vibration
from side to side. There has been nc
severe damage to buildings and ne
