ON TRAIL OF GODFRIED RUTH
John J Walsh of New Haven Has Tracked Him From Here Through South Windham, Windham Center and Hamp ton-Last Definite Trace Locates Him the Way to Pomfret Last September-Escaped From Grand View Sanatorum Then.

John J. Walsh of New Haven, whe has been trying to find Godfried Ruth, alias Reed. a patient at the Grand View sanatariun, who escaped from there on the afternoon of September 9th, was in this city on Thursday ev- ening, having just come from Say brook, where he had been following up @. eiew only to find that it did not lead to the man he wanted.
 So far the last authentic informa- ton that MT. Walsh has located as to the whereabouts Of Ruth located him leaving Hampton on the road 10 Pomfret. That is the last that he has heard of tho man alive, and as he has learned that they have been two u1l- identified men killed on the railroad up in that section he intends to lock these up to see if they possibly may not have been the man he is searching for.
 Investigator WaIsh's efforts have traced Ruth on the day he left the sanatarium to house in Grosvenor place where he took refuge in the at- tic, soaring the children in the house and a Mrs. St. Lawrence who lived there. From the attic he was driven out by a Mrs. Champagne who was armed with a poker, and he was seen going up through the Falls by a man named Mcintyre.

 Rev. Mir. Tullar is to give another illustrated lecture during the after noon, probably at S.S0 o'clock, for men. The lecture, which will be of religious nature, win no doubt be interesting, as it deals in some measure with the great struggle now waging between the ma. tions of Europe.

Walsh has ,learned that a. man car- responding to the description of Ruth appeared in South Windham at the house of family named Galiivan. His hands were torn as if by pushing his way through the woods and his feet had a number of stone bruises on them. In South Windham he was given a cap, as he had no hat and he was also given a pair of shoes by some family there. He was wearing one carpet slipper and an old shoe. He left South -Windham and went to- wards Windham Center. People were found in WindhaTn Center who saw him, one woman having seWed up his torn blue coat.
 MT. Walsh has also found a barteni- CT in Wil1imantie who remembers . man who came into the saloon, dress ed very much as Ruth was, and hav- ing scar on his head which coz responded very much to the wound where Rutl1's skull had been fractur- ed. The Dartepder helped the man and gave him 50. cents, which he promised to return as he said he was looking Sor work on 8 farm.
 Then the trail leads to Hampton where the trolley starter saw a ulaa Of Ruins description and a rural de- livery letter carrier also saw him. Thl last that was seen of him he was talk ing the railroad track towards PoE.- fret.

UPSET CARRIAGE
 ON MAIN STREET.
Occupants Were Thrown out-smala Daughter Of Mrs. BiekneII Slightly Hurt.

Quick action on the part of several bystanders probably prevented a serl- ous runaway on Main street Thursday afternoon at 4.45 o'clock. when a horse attached to light carriage and driven by Charles Woodmansee Of Preston City dashed up on the sidewalk. over turning the carriage and nearly de- naeiishiag the plate glass windows in Reuters flower store.
 Mir. Woodmansee, who was accom- penied by Mrs. Bicknell and her small daughter, faeighbors whom he had brought to Norwich on a shopping trip, was on the left hand side of the road and was headed towards Franklin square when another carriage driven by Ike SchewelI Of Uncasville ap- the New London Willimantic trolley car due into the square at 4.45 o'clock came along, and as g. precautionary measure the Tnotorman stopped his car, as there was not room enough for the teaIns to pass each other, and barely room for the car to pass either oar- riage. Sehewell started, presumably, to draw up closer to the curve, and in so doing lie crowded MT. Weodma1lsee's horse, who suddenly backed the car- riage Into the rear end of the car. The sudden impact between carriage and car frightened MT. Woodmansee'S horse, which reared and dashed up on to the sidewalk, overturning the car riAge and throwing the occupants out
 Several men who happened Tn close proximity jumped for the horses head and, grabbing the hridle, prevented the animal from crashing through the plate glass windows of Reuters store Mir. Woodmansee, who saved himself by putting out his hands as he fell, measured his length on the sidewalk, luckily escaping injury. Miss Bicknell was not so fortunate, as she slightly injured one of her knees in the fall. She was taken into Utley & Jones' store, where she received what aid they were able to give her, and in 8 few minutes was able to walk with the assistance of Mrs. Bicknell. The carriage was lighted and was found to have suffered but slight damage. MT. Woodnnansee soon had the horse quieted down and was able to drive to his home in Preston City.
 The car, which was in charge of Conductor William Ryan and Motor man William BarEell, was delayed but a few minutes.
