FISHER RAPS RAILROAD
 FOR LODGING ITS TAXES
Candidate for Governors Chair Speaks Harshly of
 State Finances.

That the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad evades the pay ment of thousands of dollars in just taxes every year, was a statement made today at a noon talk at the rule shop by Professor Willard c. Fisher of Middletown, candidate for the democratic nomination for gov ernor.
 Professor Fisher spoke on the states finances, how they could be improved and how the treasury had been drained by unjust methods. He said the enlargement of the state debt was unnecessary and that the state is running behind. This could be righted and should be righted, he said.
 That he intended to hamper pub- lie service was denied by the speak CT. He would, however, force all to pay their proper share of taxes. The New Haven road is evading it's the men who should collect the taxes haven't the courage to insist on the payment of proper dues. The tax laws have been rigged by Robbins, he said.s referring to an attorney in the employ of the railroad.
 The inheritance tax was touched on by Professor Fisher when he said he would tax heavily vast bequests mades7in wills. He also criticized Attorney Benedict M Holden for charging $2,50O for legal services given an investigation committee of the state and he said that the board of equalization in 1912 practically gave the railroad $1O,0O0 by lessen ing it's, tax.

IRATE WIFE CALLS
 POLICE CHIEF LIAR
Mrs. Joseph Niedweczki Then Orders Chief to Refund Money to Her That
 Her Husband Was Fined

You're a liar," screeched Mrs Jo- seph Niedweczki of No. 1S2 Broad street to Chief W. J. Rawlings this that her husband had been arrested Sunday night for breach of the peace and resisting an officer.
 On Monday Niedweczki was ar ranged on the above charge and was fined $30 and costs, amounting to something over $40. He paid up like a little major.
 This afternoon his wife, accom- panied by a friend who acted as in terpreter, appeared at the police sta tion and asked why it was that her good husband had been fined. Why, he got into a fight and resisted the officer and pulled his ear," explained Chief Rawlings very politely.
 You're liar screamed the irate wife in perfectly good English.
 "All right replied the chief.
 She then asked who had made the ficer did she told the chief that the officer was crazy.
 ''All right, I'll have him examined" was the answer.
 It developed that Mrs. Niedweczki was mad because her hubby was fined so heavily and before she left she de- manded the chief return the money to her. She was told that she could see Judge Andrew tomorrow morn ing and possibly he would turn the money over to her-and possibly he wouldn't.

State and Defense Sum Up ET-
 deuee at T0day'S Trial.
ACCUSED GIVES WAY TO GRIEF
Attorney Bauby Contends State Has Failed to Prove, Under the Law, Bristol Woman's Connection With the Murder of Her Husband.

New Haven, July 29.-The trial of Mrs. Bessie J. Wakefield charged with the murder of her husband, probably entered upon its last day, when Judge Reed opened his court this morning. Two hours for each side in which to sum up the evidence had been allotted and already Assis- tant States Attorney Pickett had used up a part of the states time by making half hours address to the jury before yesterdays adjournment.
 Argues For Defense.
 Charles Bauby, junior counsel for the accused, made a half hours ad- dress as soon as court opened. MT. Devine followed with ninety minutes for his argument and States Attorney filling expected to be through by 4 o'clock
 MT. Bauby contended that the state had not proven. under the law. Mrs. Wakefeld's connection with the murder. He maintained that the state rested it's case upon the wom- ans own admissions while the statutes require that the state shall prove, affirmatively, by two witnesses or their equivalent that she had ac- tually participated in the crime. He said that the person who actually killed Wakefield, the man Plew, has already paid the penalty for that deed.
 Gives Way to Grief
 While MT. Bauby was talking Mrs Wakefield gave way to deep grief, sobbing so that she could be heard throughout the room. Deputy sheriffs turned away a score or more of ap- plicants for admission to court after the seating accommodations had been taken.
 MT Devine closed his argument at noon. Recess was then taken until 2 o'clock when States Attorney filling will sum up for the prosecution.
 Adjourns Till Tomorrow.
 When MT. Alling concluded his ar- gument about 3:30, Judge Reed ad- journed Court until tomorrow, when he will make his charge and deliver the case to the jury.

LOCOMOTIVE WRECKED;
 FIREMAN IS KILLED
Engineer and Flagman Seri- Ously Injured in Holmes,
 N. Y., Catastrophe.

Danbury, July 29.-One man was killed and two were seriously injured when a locomotive on the Central New England Railroad was wrecked this morning at Holmes, N. Y., twen- ty-five miles west of this city.
 Joseph Remington, a fireman, was pinned in an upright position against the boiler of the locomotive and scalded and burned to death, while two companions who escaped similar fate by small margin, were unable to save him because they were dis abled by their own injuries.
 Romeo Whitson, an engineer, all though feariully scalded, made his way today to Holmes Station, mile away, by alternately walking and crawling and summoned assistance. Engineer Whitson and Frank Cowles, flagman, who was also badly hurt, were taken to hospital at Fishkill, N. Y. Both are expected to recover.
 The wrecked locomotive had been engaged in assisting trains over a heavy grade between Hopeweli Junc- ton and Holmes and was running toward the former place, tender first, when the trucks of the tender left the rails in the center of a high rock cut. The tenQer plunged Into the Sluc or the cut and the cab of the locomotive telescoped into it. Remington, Whit son and Cowles were all pinned in the wreckage and enveloped in clouds of steam. The engineer and t1agman managed to free themselves aud drop to the ground, but Remington hld been caught between the tender and boiler and was unable to extricate himself. When the steam cleared away his body was visible through the wreckage. F1agman Cowles' hip was broken and he was powerless to move after dropping from the lcco- motive. Engineer Whitson was able to make his way back to the station at Holmes with the greatest difficulty and railroad men who saw him after he reached the station marvelled that he had been able to complete the journey He fainted after telling the station agent about the wreck.
 The west bound track was torn up for a distance of about 500 feet at the scene of the accident and a wrecking train was dispatched from New Haven to remove the wreckage.
 Fireman Remington's home was in Hopewell Junction. He came to the New Haven system from Pennsylvania and his wife is said to live in Sheola, Pa. He was about 27 years old.
