 The tragedy occurred at Nelson's home No. IS Carey street. About 8 o'clock in the morning Nelson, who had been sleeping in a room next to the kitchen, arose and complained of being sick. Mrs. Ellen Stackpole, who has been keeping house for the Nei- sons. suggested that he go to bed up- stairs. SD that the children might not disturb him. This he supposedly did and nothing more was heard from him until Mrs. StackpoIe detected the odor of gas about the house shortly after Il o'clock
 The mill1mSn called soon after. and together they started 10 locate the es- capiug gas. The odor led them up- stairs and to the door of the room in which Nelson was. The door was locked and the corridor was filled with gas. \ message was sent to the black smith shop and Andrew Larsen, Nel- sons assistant responded and broke in the door.
 Nelson was found in bed with the clothes over his face. Upon the floor near by was one end of rubber tube attached at the other end to an open gas jet. pr. O'Neil and Officer ThUm- as Glauy were called ana nptlAcdtion was sent Dr. l.. l. Mason, medical eN- aminer for Windham In the opinion of the doctors, Nelson had been dead about an hour when found Dr. Mason stated that it was a clear case of sui eide

He leaves his wife and six children, the oldest but seven. and the youngest the twins born Sunday.

For Second Season Robin Annoys Palmer Household by Peckine on 3a----Lccal Attendants at Norwich Rally

A strange coincidence for which there seems to be no explanation has occurred for two years al the home of James E.. Palmer, Jr. Early in the season last year a male robin came to q window in Mir Palmer's house and kept up a continual tapping on the glass. As early as in the morning ne wound appear, then two or three times during the day. So violently did he work that at times he would seem to be exhausted and fly to a wistaria vine near by 10 rest. He kept tius hp until finally the mate appeared. A box was placed on the side of the house and there the nest was made-a very unusual thing for a robin to dc. Four eggs were laid in this nest and as soon as the mother robin began to hatch the eggs the father discontinued the pecking at the window pane. His bill had become bent on the tip, SC violent ly had he worked.
 This year he appeared again, March 26, and has commenced the same per formance. A blanket was hung over the window last year, but that made no difference, for he went to another one. The son in the household has been obliged to move his bed to the rear of the house, as the continual noise dis tuI-bs his early morning slumbers. What the bird is trying to do is a mystery.
