DEATH OF LIFE
LONG DEMOCRAT
AT NEW BRITAIN

New Britain, Oct. 7-CharIes Sam
ueI Andrews, aged 81 years, died, this
morning, at the Andrews Homestead
in Stanley Quarter, of illness inciden-
tai to old age. Death was probably
hastened by fall Mr.. Andrews had
on Sept. 25, when he injured his hip
while walking from a couch to an
easy chair.
Mr.. Andrews was born in Chapel
Hill, North Carolina, on Aug. 5, 1882.
He was the son of tile late Professor
F. A. Andrews, then president of
Chapel Hill University. He was grad
uated from Yale Law School with the
class of 1851.
In 1857. Mr.. Andrews took his
bride Miss Elizabeth Alden, of West
Hartford, who died on October 9,
1912. He is survived by one daugh-
ter, Miss Elizabeth A ndrews and three
sons, Charles S. Jr., Alden and Rob
ert W. Andrews. Another son, Thos
H, died year ago.
He represented New Britain in the
legislature in 1877-78 and in 1882
SO.
A lifelong Democrat, it was a
source of great qualification to him
to be able to go to the polls, last
November, and cast what proved to
be his last vote, for President Wood
row Wilson.

TESTIMONY OF
RYAN RETAINED
IN The RECORD
Court of Impeachment Re
considers Vote to Have
Tt Stricken Out

Albany, Oct. THE groundwork
for the defense of Gov. Sulzer was
expected to be laid today, by the first
witness, Louis A. Sarecky, formerly
Sulzer's campaign secretary. In out
lining the defense, yesterday, Senator
Hinman laid much stress on the tes-
timony of Sarecky. He told how the
governor practically turned his cam
paign funds over to his secretary and
trusted in him to keep them straight
When it came time to make out a
financial statement, Hinman said,
Sarecky drew it up. The governor
glanced at it, took his secretary's
word for its correctness, signed it and
thus ended the transaction. Sarecky,
Hfnman said, did not know until af-
ter the election that he would have
to make a statement and had kept no
accurate account of amounts receiv-
ed.
Two other witnesses Lieut.. Com
mander L ]. JosephthaI and Hugh J.
ReiIly-were held in reserve for use
in case Sarecky was excused before
the end of the court, today.
Josephrnal is the man who paid Off
the governors Wall street debts and
Reilly maintains he loaned $26, 900 to
the governor for his personal use, not
as a campaign Contribution. There
was much speculation about the capi-
tol, today, as to whether Mrs Sulzor
would take the stand 1t is known
been firmly opposed to her testffyfng.
S5e has maintained, however, that it
Psduty and the problem, that con-
Lfts-the governors attorneys is to
ghvince her that it Win be lest for
l2Rer to remain silent.
The court of impeachment went in
to executive session almost immedf-
ately after reconvening, today, for the
purpose of reconsidering the vote by
which Allan A. Ryan's testimony was
Sfri1
Ryan declared Sulzer had asked him
to see Senator Elihu Rott and emdea-
vor to have him intercede with Will
liam Barnes, Jr., in an effort to pre-
vail upon the Republican Senators OF
the impeachment court to hold the
Impeachment Illegal
Mr.. Ryan also testified that Gov.
Sulzer requested him to see Delaney
NicoH and have him see Charles Muir
ply in an effort to have the fmpeach-
naent proceedings stopped. After a
session of an hour, the court voted
to retain Ryan's testimony in the rec
ord.
Mr.. Ryan was recalled to the stand
and asked what further conversation
he had with the governor on the oc-
casion of the 1atter's request that he
see Root.
''I suggested to Mr.. sulzer that now
that certain charges had been made
against him, I did not see that he
could aHord to put h1rnSeM In a po-
sitiC1 in which he could not answer
the charges. He said the reason was
that he did not want to drag his wife
into the situation and put her on the
stand.
''I told him [ would not go to Wash
If gton but I would try to ascertain
the Republican sentiment on that
question-whether the court had a
right to impeach him.
'Is that all of the conversation -

He said that if they voted that the
trial was not legal he could make a
public statement and explain the sit
uation satisfactorily

Two Gas Jets
Open; Unknown
Man Found Dead

Two open gas Jets in an attic room
at 253 State street brought death to a
man, who, from an envelope found in
pocket, is supposed to be Richard D.
Smith, early today. Cold and with
rigor mortis partially developed his
body was found in bed by occupants
of the house, who had been attracted
through the odor of gas penetrating
even into adjoining apartments. Ac-
cording to the opinion of Dr. L. J.
Friedman, emergency hospital ambu-
lance surgeon, death had preceded dis
covery by four or five hours. Dr. S.
NJ. Garlick, medical examiner, was no
titled and is investigating a number
of somewhat mysterious circumstance
this afternoon. 1t is believed to be
an ordinary case of gas asphyxia tion
with suicidal intent.
Nothing lis known concerning tho
man by Mrs. Edwin Bray, from whom
he rented the room. He was seen sell
dom from Thursday when he arrived
with his trunk, until he was found this
morning 1t is believed that he was
out of the city for over Sunday, as he
was not seen and mentioned some
thing the day previously about going
away
The peculiar feature about the case
is that, although both gas jets were
open, one of the two windows was like
ton take much longer and, had only
one jet been open, tend to indicate
that it was accidental.
Mrs. A. NJ. Fowler, living at 247 State
street, was the cause of the discovery,
having gone into a storeroom in her
attic and finding it filled with gas.
She was nearly overcome. Then. find
ing that it did not come from her
house, She ne&iaed Mrs. Eseg md Mrs.
Burton E. Plat next door. They be
gan an investigation. Upon reaching
the attic, the gas was found pouring
from beneath the bedroom door and
aid called
It is thought that the contents of
the trunk, found locked by the side of
the bed, may include evidence of value
in Identifying him. In a pocket was
found a letter from the White House
Clothing company on Water street ad-
dressed to Richard D. Smith and in
forming him that the bond of 800
would be satisfactory 1t also said
that he could commence work.
The man was well built, heavy and
apparently of American descent. A
sandy mustache was worn and his hair
was turning gray. His clothing was
found to be of medium texture. A
seal ring without initials was found
on the ring finger of his left hand.
The body is held at the house waitin g
orders from DR.. Gar1ick-

BOMB VICTIM
WANTS CITY TO
PAY EXPENSES
Lewis, Badly Injured, Claims
Police Were Not On the
Job On Momentous
4lsa Night
Petitioner Suffered Loss of
Hearing in One Ear, Frac-
tured Leg and Other In
juries.

Claiming that lack of police protec-
ton caused hi nserious injury in a
bomb explosion on April 6, 1913, War
rem W Lewis through Attorney Al
bert ]. Merritt today filed with the
city clerk a petition for damages and
reimbursement.
Mr.. Lewis alleges that he was walk
ing on tha west side OF Water street
between Wall street and Fairfield ave-
Aprdl when he noticed smoke com
ing from a doorway. Thinking that
it was a smouldering fire which if not
eyrfug1ished might do great damage,
Lewis made an attempt to put it out.
The smoke he now claims came
from the fuse of a bomb which ex-
r,loded with great force just as he
was attempting to put it out Lewis
claims that various parts Of his body
were perforated by flying bits of
metal driven with great force that
one of his legs was broken and his
hearing totally destroyed in one ear,
but he does not say which leg or ear.
He also says that the clothing he
wore at the time was ruined. He
claims that he was obliged to spend
ten weeks in St Vincent's hospital for
treatment for his injuries. He claims
that his injuries were due to lack of
police protection, in that some person
was allowed TO place the bomb where
it was unseen and undetected by any
member of the police department.
Mr. Lewis claims his clothing which
was destroyed was worth $60- He
says he spent $50 for medicine, $40
for physicians services, S11O for hos
pi4aI treatment and Is still suffering
from his injuries and permanently in
cspac4tated from performing manual
labor.
