COLLEGE GRADUATE
CALLED MURDERER
George w. Potter Arrested for
the Killing of Rich Farmer
Last Year.

Canaj0harie, n. Y, June 26.-George
W. Potter, collegian agriculturist, Of
Palatine, was arrested to-day near
Fonda and was arraigned before JUS
tice Hubbard in Fonda tonight
charged with murder for the killing of
John Barrett, a wealthy Palatine
farmer and neighbor of Potter, last
December.
The arrest followed a confession by
one Of Potter's farmhands, Lewis NJ.
Roach, who said that, accompanied by
Potter, he went to the Barrett home
and shot Barrett at the instigation Of
Potter because of dispute as to water
rights.
Potter pleaded not guilty to the
charge. He declared that Roach is suf-
fering from a hallucination and he
blames the pressure put on his farm
hand by the prosecuting officials.
Potter's father-in-law, Andrew J
Nellis, Of Albany, widely known as a
lawyer in this part of the state, went
to Fonda at once. He demanded an
immediate hearing and this was set for
tomorrow morning. Nellis declared
he was prepared to show through sew
eral witnesses every movement Of his
son-in-law on the night of the murder
For months the murder of Barrett
had furnished a puzzle which the au'
thorities vainly tried to solve. Ac-
cording to the alleged confession Roach
did the deed under promise of reward
Potter and Roach, as the story ran
went to the Barrett home together on
the night in question. Roach entered
the house by one door and Potter by
another. As they entered Kate Bar
rett, q daughter of the farmer, sat
reading in the dining room, and Roach
struck her over the head with stick
of firewood, rendering her unconscious
When the farmer, aroused from sleep
upstairs. came below to ascertain the
cause of the noise, he was shot TO
death. Roach said that he fired the
shot at the instigation of Potter. Roach
and Potter then overturned the stove
with the idea of burning the house and
thus hiding the crime. Then they ran
away.
They had not reckoned on the ha II
witted son who was upstairs, however.
After they had gone he eXtingushed
the fire, but did not know enough to
arouse the neighbOrs nor to tell SEN
sible story. Roach, as the result OF a
quarrel with Potter, it is said, told
enough about the affair to justify his
being brought before the Coroner

chusetts, l thank you for your mes
sage Of sympathy, and If the federal
government can be of service I will
call upon you later"
The city authorities, headed by
Mayor John F. Hurley, and the state
officials, headed by Governor David |.
Walsh, who came from Boston, seven
teen miles away, by automobile, de-
clded early this morning on a compre-
hensive plan of relief. For the present
food and clothing will be distributed
from three central points. The aged,
i'll and infrm, will be housed in the
armory and other public buildings.
while for the young and more healthy
refugees tents are being provided in
the common, the ball park, and the
Great Pasture. Some, too, are tenting
in Salem Willows, the park overlook
ing the harbor.
After a survey of the situation the
committee anounced:
"The principal need is money-not
clothing or food. The people who we're
burned out managed to save all the
necessary clothing, and there is on
hand sufficient supply of food to last
week, or possibly longer"
It was added that contributions
should be directed to Gardiner NJ.
Lane, treasurer of the state relief com
mittee.
So many maternity cases were re-
ported that Mrs. Samuel ]. Mixter,
wife of a Boston surgeon, and several
women prominent in the wealthy
North Shore summer colony organized
a hospital for them in the North
Church.
The relief question is complicated
by the fact that most of the $4,000
homeless persons are French Can
adams and Poles. The breadwinners
of these lost their means of supporting
themselves and their dependents when
the leather and shoe factories and the
big mills Of the Naumkeag Steam Cot
ton Company were destroyed. Some
scheme of providing employment for
this army will have to be devised.
In the meantime all will have to be fed.
Other cities have sent in offers of en-
ployment for many, but for the present
at least few of the sufferers show much
inclination to leave the city.
Wealthy Families Homeless.
Not all Of those who lost their homes
are of the factory class. Some of the
oldest and wealthiest families spent
last night watching their residences
90 up in smoke or found refuge on
the common, in the park, or in the
historic Broad street cemetery, for the
best residential sections suffered as
much, comparatively, as did the tene-
ments. These persons, however, have
/ bee ncared for by friends and rela.

Several aged persons and others who

loss is covered.
Prompt Relief Work Started.
From all parts of the country and
Canada relief and promises of relie1
are pouring in tonight. While the
FIRE was yet burning Henry c. Frickr

mer home is near by, gave $4,000 for

tee formed by Governor Walsh at the
State House he'd raised s97,0l9 by the
close Of banking hours this afternoon
The national government, through the
Secretary of War, Mr.. Garrison, offered
tents, rations, medical supplies ana
such other aid as the army might af'
ford. The Red Cross telegraphed
$4,000 and placed trained relief work
ers at the disposition of the authori-
ties. Nearby cities sent in supplies OF
cooked foods and clothing, while the
farmers Of Essex County sent in big
supplies Of milk for the hundreds OF
homeless babies.
From the President, through Gov.
ernor Walsh, came an expression OF
sympathy, and a proffer of every aid.
In reply to the Presidents message

OLD ST. JOHNS CHAPEL
GETS NEW LEASE OF LIFE
Vestry of Trinity Agrees to Tentative Plan to Hold Re
gous Services There for Two Years at Least-Fstoncal
Societies Must Arrange Preservation Scheme

The city, as its part of the bargain,
will put in the necessary piers to hold
the pOrtico of the structure up over
the Seventh az. subway, at a cost of
about $1,000. The first offer of the citv
was TO do this if Trinity, or any other
body, would agree to maintain the
church for. public purposes in per-
petuity.
Trinity fatty refused to do this. The
plans for the widening of Varick st.
as the extension Of Seventh av. have
been made so as 70 run the sidewalk
under the portico.
The St. Johns plot has frontage Of
239 feet, and it is suggested that the
property might be used as a public
park, with the building as its central
feature. The city has taken over that
part Of the property extending thirty
five feet back, including the church
building as far back as the steeple.

proposed that Trinity Corporation un-
dertake 70 maintain the chapel for re-
iigious purposes for at least two years
from July !.
It is hoped that before the end of
that period the historical societies in
terested in the permanent preservation
Of the structure will have been able
10 work out some plan TO that end. II
not, Trinity will be at liberty TO dis
pose Of the property as 1t sees 1T.

Second Visitor at Angle
Flat Was Jealous, Is
Allegation Made.
MAY ARREST MAN
IN MYSTERY SOON
Spectacle Case Presents New
CleW-Woman's Mind Blank
on Many Details.

Stamford, Conn, June 26.-The po-
lice of this city are now of the opin-
ion that when Waldo R. Ballou met
his death, after spending the evening
with Mrs. Helen Angle, the divorcee
and singer, rival, who was jealous
of Ballou, was in her studio apart
ments in the Rippowam Building.
This theory was advanced by Homer
S. Cummings, States Attorney, after
spending the afternoon at the Rippo-
wan Building, reconstructing the
events of Tuesday evening as he
thought they happened
Chief of Police William Brennan,
who arrested Mrs. Angle on technical
charge of being a material witness
after the finding of Ballou's body on
the sidewalk in front of her home,
said tonight that he believed he knew
who the second man was, and had him
under surveillance.
"If developments should warrant
our arresting him at any moment, we
can do So" said Chief Brennan. He
refused TO say if he believed this man
struck Ballou.
Mrs. Angle Better.
Mrs. Angle, who recovered her COM
posure sufficiently to return from the
sanatorium, received the Tribune cor
respondent at the home of her friend,
Mrs. George Eagle, 427 Main ST., to-
night.
When told what States Attorney
Cummings said, she cried out:
81 wish to heaven that some one had
been present Tuesday night. Then |
would not be in this plight. Then
there would be proof positive of the
fact that Mr.. Ballou fell dowh the
stairs. No one hit him. He fell down
the stairs"
Then she became hysterical, and
between her sobs said:
Don't believe me guilty, | would
never think of hurting any one. And
as for the flatiron that Chief Brennan
saws was used to hit Mr.. Ballou, |
used Il to iron some clothes for my
friend, Mrs. Carrie Barrett, who just
moved into the apartment directly be-
meath mine that very day"
At this moment there was knock
AZ the door and Mrs. Barrett entered.
Mrs. Angle, throwing her arms
about Mrs. Barretts neck, exclaimed;
"Oh, your coming is providential. You
know what | had the flatiron for. Tell
him" -
"She used it to iron some little
things for me-" said Mrs. Barrett.
Mrs. Angle was then told Of the
finding of Ballou's spectacles in a
small wooden box in her apartment
late this afternoon. The spectacles
were bloodstained but uninjured, and
some gray hair, which the police be-
leye to be Ballous, was matted to
the gold ear loop on the right side.
Her Mind a Blank.
az do not know how that got into
the box" said Mrs. Angle. 81 do not
remember whether Mr.. Ballou wore any
spectacles that night or not. Ny mind
is a blank about many things that
banneued after he fell on the stairs"
She said that just before Ballou
left he asked her to go on an outing
with him Sunday, but that she had
TO decline because she was due TO sing
in the Labor Temple, Second ay. and
14th ST.. New York, on that day.
The finding of the speetacles Chief
Brennan regarded as Of the utmost
