Has Won High Place Among Senators
< New Haven Times Leader

NUN A1ANEl AAAifEHH AaEAAlNAf
 Yes, if the Republicans expect 10 win they must stop lighting, unless thereIis something that ought to be fought about. There ought to be no question about the unanimous renomi- nation of Senator Brandegee and we do not believe there will be any. He has won a national reputation as states man and particularly during this last term he has been frequentlyscalled up on for the largest and most important service II is possible for a senator of The United States 10 give.
 He has a splendid record of many successes and nc failures Sin public life and it is the policy of Connecticut to keep in the senate the men who have been tried and found to be trustworthy in all they have tried 10 do-mea who have the ability to maintain the high standard of efficiency which has long been the measure of Connecticut s de- mand.
 Senator Brsndegee has taken his place among the great isenatorS of the century in which we live. His public service has been loyal, progressive, clean. We have yet 10 hear of a single Connecticut Republican who favors nominating another man. We believe very emphatic majority of Connecti- cut voters, regardless of partisan poli- ties, want him to stay where he is.
 We living and voting in Windham County are pleased to know the ser vices of our senior senator; Frank B. Brandegee, are known and apprecia- ted in different portions of the state, as extracts from the larger papers indi- cate, tor example the above.

Bradley TheAter

One of the plays in the repertoire of
 Yale Stock Company coming to Put nam for weeks engagement com-
 mencing Nov. r, is charming story of life in the Sunny South, titled "One Girl in A Thousand'. Unlike the great majority of plays whose scenes are laid below the Mason and
 Dion line, it has not the Civil War as a theme. There are no soldiers or battles introduced, nor is it "moon. sinner" play; it is simply heart touching story of home life, and the author, being Southern man himself, has faithfully portrayed the characteristics of the land where true hospitality reigns at all seasons of the yrar. The plot of the play is rather a departure from the usual type of melo- drama; it has no "betrayed heroine" or murder to stimulate the interest, yet so carefully has the author worked out his story, it has not one dull moment in it's entire four acts. The play is particularly rich in comedy and is well calculated to please all classes Of theatre goers. Some iexcel- lent specialties will be introduced be- tween acts.

Threatened To Kill Him

Howarth had told witness that if he opened his mouth he would kill him.
 In reply to questions of Attorney Harvey on cross examination Cain said in part: He is charged with the same crime. Been in jail since arrest. Been in court room each day. Known Hurley by sight two years. Don't know Mrs Bennett. Never saw her before trial to know who she was. Never spoke word 10 her. Had seen her enter jail. HowaTth said Mrs Ben nett was going to buy car and asked him how he would like to drive it. He would be under his orders.
 Q-Thought you said you were going down to rob her.
 A Oh yes, we were surely.
 Howarth told him it ould be hard on the Woodstock girl if he married frs. Bennett but he needed the money. Had made written confession. Hadn't seen it for three weeks. Talked with Torrey. Told Hurley he would make confession Sunday. Didn't see an attorney until week after that. Confession made in Hurley's presence. Hurley read it over to him three weeks ago. Never saw copy of 1t. Talked with states attorney once. Had talk ed with Torrey four times. Hurley asked him if he had a confession to make. Said he had. Hurley said make it and he would take 1t to MT. Searls. Never was told that it would be easier or that he wouldn't be prose- .cuted. No threats nor premises were made. No one had told him to say this. Torrey said hei would take any confession and would give 1t to MT. Searls. Never told him it would be easier. Also talked with father and mother. Related the matter concern ing the Priest Island ii re again. When they started out Howarth said Hurley was in town and it was good time to slip one over on him. Didn't tell him to get .malches. Wasn't sintention to set fire at Paiest's Island when they started. He came from church and met Howarth on corner. Had been in choir two full years. Met Howarth by chance Howsrth said come on and do job tonight. Didn't go near town farm. That's what they had fixed up to say, if any asked them abo9t 1t. Howarth had the ,matches. Hadn't heard of candle at this time. Went to house with express purpose of setting it atire. No grudge against society, only against Hurley. Both gathered leaves and put them under shed. Shed wasn't attached to house. Turned back because afraid of being seen House was visible from fair grounds When he said "Theres a fire," How arth said, "I wonder what it is. It looks like the flair grounds" Didn't want to show Knowledge before Bald win. No one at wreck left. They ran down track to bridge. Met Joy, Ar hold, and Champlin at Arch bridge. Alarm rang when half way Ito bridge. Howarth said, "Some one has seen the fire and there goes the alarm.p Has told his story to Torrey, Searls, Hurley, Fields, father and mother, and counsel, Mr Back.
