ROE EXTRADITED
Alleged Murderer ofMr. Case Brought
 to Winsted.

Harry Roe, the negro, held for com plicity in the murder of County Com missioner Hubert B. Case of Barkham- sted. was brought from Poughkeepsie to Winsted, Monday evening. He at- tracted considerable attention from pas sengers and curiosity seekers at the various stations. He was in custody of State Policeman Hurley. A despatch from Poughkeepsie to the Hartford Courant, dated Monday, said:
 The affidavits which the Connecticut authorities presented to support the ex- tradition papers were gone over care fully by County Judge Arnold and District Attorney Conger and at the close of the conference they expressed the belief that the state of Connecticut had sufficient strong case against Roe to warrant his surrender to Hurley.
 Previous to appearing before Judge Arnold Harry c. Harris, counsel for Roe, had a consultation with the prisoner, at the end of which Roe ex- pressed his willingness to go to Con- necticut Harris will go to Connecti- cut to appear as counsel for Roe when his case comes up for trial. ..
 Roe now denies absolutely that he was in Connecticut the night of Nov ember 28 last, when :Coun-y Commits sioner Hubert B. Case was murdered at Barkhamsted and declares that he has several witnesses to prove that he and Isaac N. Williams, who: was indicted with him for ; the. Case murder, were both in. n.Poughkeepsie that night: ''' h''
 assigned statenent.hrad several weeks ago to Policeman Hurley, Roe swore that he acted ass~lookout on the night of November 28, while Williams robbed a. store five or six. miles cut of Winsted. Roe then said hesrcouH mot tell what town it was sand#, that when Williams came out of the store; had only $10 or $12 in. cash and that no mention was made of any trouble: Roe now says that this robbery was on the night of November 8, and that on that day he wrote a postal card to his sister in-law in this city and that he persuad- ed Williams to come with him to this city after that robbery.
 X When interviewed, this afternoon Roe appeared confident that he would be &C., quilted of the murder charge. "Iwant to go to Winsted,' ,'' he said, ito show them that was. not concerned in the murder. It is true. that Williams and myself have been mixedsup. in a. good many safe blowing. jobs, but I, would never shoot at4a mop or try to kill a man when was robhing. his place., l would rather be caught doing.;a trick than have to shoot person.''3gt.,. ,:'~
 Roe admitted that he carried a gun when he robbed place, saying he was often forced to, shoot in the air over a mans head when he went to make a getaway. He says he and Williams had broken into any number of places in the small towns about Winsted but he denied absolutely that he had been con- cerned in the Barkhamsted murder.

SUFFRAGE-PR0 AND CON
Pro-.

The women of Illinois are hoping this spring to repeat and increase their victory of last spring in regard to the wiping out of saloons. Last year about l 900 saloons went out of business ow- ing to the way in which the women used their votes; and Illinois was not the only .statea where the temperance forces were strengthened by the asses sion of women voters, In the No yember elections both- Colorado and Oregon voted on prohibition amend ments and thanks to. the helpof the women both these states are no in the prohibition column. In Colorado the vote 129, 589 dry to 113,017 wet; and no-one pretends that the majority of about II ,500 could have been obtained without the women. AS iu many sim- liar cases a majority of the women's votes united with a minority of the men to make a majority for the meas ure. It was the same in Oregon where the vote stood 136, 842. dry to 108, 362 wet-a much larger. majority for pro- hibition than in Colorado;, but even here the men are wiling to give the credit to the women and to declare that it is unlikely that the measure would have carried without, the women's s votes. There are now three prohibi. tion states among the eleven states where women have full suffrage-a good proportion in comparison with the man-suffrage states, and a proportion that will undoubtedly increase if the women find that temperance is I TO- noted and drunkenness deareated by statewide prohibition.

Wildcat Haul.

On exhibition in the office of the Evening Citizen are the skins of five wildcats which were killed this winter on the Walcott- Childs game preserve in Meekertown, in the southwestern part of Norfolk, by D. l..

Childs, New York bankers and brokers, with an office at IA Wall street, are the owners of the 4.000-acre preserve in the Meekertown district, where they are interested in the propagation of wild ducks, geese and pheasants.

 Webster has been trapping at the pre- serve he has killed ten wildcats, besides otter, weasels mink and flying squirrels.
