which has stood for over 60 years

view of building new church. The

section for several years. He was a
unique character. He freq aently
visited the northern states and usually
returned with fine horse. On his
last visit to Delaware he was arrested

sent to the penitentiary for number
of years. His real name is said to
have been Blair. He was a man of
considerable ability and commanded
the respect OF his congrega in

WIFE AND MALE FRIEND
 HELD FOR DEITZS DEATH.
Male Prisoner Says He Has Loved Woman Two Years.

Chicago. April 17-At the conclusion of today's session of the coroner's jury investigating the death of George Dietz, the wealthy woman's tailor, who was murdered in his room Sunday night by hammer blows. the coroner's jury ordered Mrs. Dietz and George Nurn- berg who admitted that he was her intimate friend, held for the murder.
 Attorneys for Mrs Dietz and Nurn- berg protested that the jury had no authority to give such an order. It was agreed that the two might return to their homes, but under police surveil- lance, and that they would be brought to the police court tomorrow, where they would plead to the charge and be released on bail, pending the con clusion of the coroners inquiry.
 Mrs. Deitz and Nurnberg left the court room each in custody of two de- fectives. who will remain with them during the night.
 The identity of the man whose finger prints the police say correspond with those on the hammer with which George Dietz was slain, was not reveal ed at the coroner's inquiry.
 Mrs. Dietz denied that relations be- tween herself and Nurnberg had been improper. Nurnberg insisted that he knew nothing of the killing of her hus- band.
 Nr have loved Mrs. Dietz for two vears'' said Nurnberg. "She loves me, and told me that she loved me better than she did her busband.''

ANOTHER DECISION IN
 DANBURY LABOR CASE.
Supreme Court Rules Closed Shop"
 Against Public Policy

Hartford, April 17.-Questions of public policy in connection with "c1os- ed" shop agreements are involved in a case on which a decision was handed down by Chief Justice Samuel o. Prem tice of the supreme court of Connectf- cut. The case in point was that of Doninick Corners against Patrick Connolly. a Danbury case. COnnOrS
 was a member of a, matters union, and Connolly an official of the organization. After Q recent strike in that city Con- nOrs was dropped from membership in the union and was unable to secure employment in the shop where he had formerly worked. He brought action against Connolly, and on an adverse decision in the superior court appealed to the supreme court Error is found and a new trial ordered.
 When the strike was declared Con- nors quit work with the other mem bers of the union. and returned to work with them after the adjustment of the trouble Subsequently he was called on to pay an assessment and re- fused, ond tn ground that the union owed him strike benefits which exceed ed considerably the amount of the as sessment demanded. As 8 result he was dropped from the membership in the union. and as a consequence, ne claimed was forced to seek employ ment elsewhere, as the union men re- fused to work with him. He brought action against Connolly, but the case went agaInSt nm Tn the SupeE1Of cOuIls and he took an appeal
 In finding error and ordering 3 re- trial of the case Chief Justice Pren- tice said it was difficult to find a more marked instance of a large community given over to a single industry, "or one where the individual, if he elects not, for reasons of his own, to join a, union, is placed in a more disadYantageouS position"
 It is apparent" continues the opinion, that the seed and the fruit Of are present in striking meas ure, and the field of labor has been monopolized."
 The option says further that in the presence of such facts 1t was the plain duty of the court to have compiled with the plaintiffs request to instruct the jury Fthat the defendants sole at justification, based as 1t was on the restrictive agreement between employers of Danbury and vicinity and the United Hatters, an action to secure the enforcement of it's provisions for the non employment of non union men was not a Justification in law, since 1t was one involving the use of means forbidden by public policy"
