New Haven Lad Tells Sweetheart He
 Will Kill Her.
 New Haven, Nov. 6.-Aside from the serious side which was that a loaded revolver was found, the police cannot help smiling over the seventh arrest on the charge of having con- cealed weapons since the shooting of Detective Dorman. In this instance Anna Swonkuto, a domestic, com plained that A. Rudolph Stag, who had been keeping her company, was annoying her, that he sent her bou- quet with a note attached stating that if she refused to marry him the flowers would be placed on her grave.
 A few nights ago Stag had seen the girl and tried to get her consent to marriage, at the end of a gun. She put him out and Stag poked the gun through the kitchen window and per sisted in his threats. Last night Anna said that Stag told her that she would be dead by Sunday. The police found a loaded revolver behind a clock in Statz's room.
