 IS SHOT BY PRISONER
 WHO MAKES GETAWAY
WOMAN WRITES TO LAWYER OF
 SUICIDE PLANS
Judge Nicho1son's Mail Dis closes Facts of Mrs. Mo
 Lean s Tragic Death.

A letter received at the office of Judge E. K. Nicholson early this morning from Springfield, Mass, re- suited in the discovery that Mrs. Mu- rial MacLean Burns; of New Haven, well known in society circles here, had committed suicide in the Kimba1I ho- tel.
 A similar letter is also said to have been sent to pr. George N. Nettleton, and a close friend of Judge Nichol- son.
 Immediately upon receiving the let ter at his office today. Judge Nichol- son is said to have communicated with pr. NettIeton and thence gone to Springfield to~care for the body.
 At the home of Dr. Nettleton it was said today that Mrs. Burns was mere= ly friend of the family but not re- lated. Little information could be given of her reason for committing suicide and Dr. Nettleton, who sa1d that he was going on hunting trip near New Haven. had not returned at a late hour this afternoon.
 Mrs. Burns, according to Medical ExaEniner s. E. Ryan and the police of Springfield, was a. ,,omely woman about 30 years of age. She entered the Hotel KimbaH, Springfield, be- tween 2 and o'clock yesterday after noon registering Mrs. Murie1 Mac Lean Burns. New Haven She went dirctly to her room and was not again seen.
 A telephone call from Judge Nichol- son, received this morning by Man. ager Beard of the hotel, caused the manager to go to the room. He found the door locked but upon opening it found Mrs. MacLeane in bed. where she had apparently retired and then took a large dose of morphine from 9 bottle which was near the bed
 4 note left in the room asked that. Judge Nicholson. of Bridgeport. or pr. George N. Nett1eton. of New Haven, be notified. She had apparently been dead for some hours. Another note in the possession of the medical ex- aminer indicated that she had com mitted suicide because she was tired day that a portion of the note stating just what she was tired of was not in his possession but had been sent to police headquarters. The police de- nied that such a note had reached them and much mystery to the real motive still exists.
 At the home of Dr. Nett1eton, the family were 1oath to make known any, of the particulars of Mrs. MacLean's recent life. and referred 1nquirers to Dr. Nett1eton.
 It is believed by the police of Springfield that Judge Nicholson had been acquainted with the possibility of Mrs. MacLean's act through Dr. Nettleton.
 Mrs MacLean is said to have fre- quentlyS been in Bridgeport society several years ago but that of late she had not visited the city.

 Superior Court. TELLS HOW HE FLED
 FROM AMBULANCE Efforts of Friends to Pro vide LOGO Bail Are
 Unsuccessfu1.

George L. Moshier, 24O Fairfield avenue, the chauffeur who drove when DrJ G. W. Osborn's car crashed through a billboard at the foot of OK HillA North Main street. bringing death to William H. J. Costello, 25O Davenport avenue, was held for trial in the superior court on. the charge of nanslaughters<wh Judge Bartlett of the city court overruled demur- Ter to the charge. this forenoon.
 The car was taken without pernfs- sion of the owner and Arthur Lucier, chauffeur for Dr. Osborn, was recent ly bound over to the superior court under a bond of $500 on a charge of fhking the car without permission of the owner.
 Lucier drove the car as far as Vest port and then surrendered the wheel to Moshier. The occupants of the car at the time of the fatality were the late William H. J. Costello of 25o Davenport street: James w. Reardon, 22 Waller place; Raymend Ely, 464 Kossuth1 street; Arthur Lucier of 195 Fairfield avenue and George L. Mosh- fer of 24O Fairfield avenue.
 In an interview with a Farmer re- porter today kNIoshier said that he re- calls riding on the drivers seat of the automobile emergency am bulance as far as St. Vincent's hospital where he took French leave while the at taches of the emergency hospital were carrying Costello into the hospital.
 He said that he rem membered board ing a passing milk wagon and riding as far as Congress street where he alighted and fell prostrate in the road way. Blood was streaming from a seven inch 1aceration of the right side of his forehead and he was suffering from concussfon of the brain.
 He recovered shortly afterwards and made his way to his room in the Helen apartments at 240 Fairfield ave- nue, where he fell through the bed room doorway and lay unconscious on the floor. His roommate, William Guest, was awakened by the thud when Moshier fell to the floor of his room.
 Guest attempted to revive his room mate but failed and placing him on his shoulder he struggled to the emer- gency hospital where futile attempts were made to revive Mosfier by the attending physician. It was useless and Dr. E. B. Weldon ordered Mosh- ier's removal to St. Vincents hospital where it was at first believed that he was in dying condition.
 Moshier was transferred from the hospital to the county jail about two weeks ago, but had to be taken back to the hospital after two days stay in the North avenue institution.
 Efforts made by the companions of Moshier to procure bail have so far proved unsuccessful and he has been remanded to the county jail to await trial in the high court

 By Bulgar Invaders

London, Oct. 3o-The position of Serbia is becoming more desperate daily. Nish is threatened by the Bul- garians. while stEe A54sszzans and Ger mans are gradually opening the way toward the great Serbian arsenal at Kraguyvatz.

 According to the latest official re- ports from Sofia the Serbians are in retreat in a westerly direction all along the Bulgarian front. Unofficial despatches state that a Bulgarian of ficer commanding an advance patrol has joined with the Austro-German staff. The Bulgarians assert that they are in possession of Negotin, Brza Pa lanka, Zajecar, KniajeVats and several villages in the Timok valley which gives them a strategicaI position. of primary importance. The complete capture of Pirot is not claimed by the war office at Sofia which says the Bulgarian troops, after storning the southern Qualifications, penetrated the town where night put an end to the fighting.
 With the exception of the unofficial report that the French are now firm Iy in possession of Strumitsa, no news hsa been received concerning the military movements of the entente a1- lies in the Balkans.
 From Bulgarian sources admissions have been received that the seaports recently bombarded suffered severely
 A Bucharest despatch say that Rus sian troops have set sail from Odessa and Sebastopo1 for the Bulgarian coast.

POLITICIANS IN !. MAZE OVER HOLD UP ON CONTRACT Garbage Bids Submitted By Ancient Rivals, Ford
 \ and King. LONG TIME BIDS
 NOW ARE ORDERED King In Tilt With Health Commissioner Zepp Over
 Situation.

The contract for garbage collection was not awarded, this morning, but the matter was put over for new bids which will be for one, five and ten years.
 Theodore B. Ford, former comnis- sioner of public utilities, and John T. King, head of the Republican party were rival bidders. This was not the first time they have been rivals, and their face to face meeting over 3 meaty contract gave zest to life in city hall, this morning.
 The proceedings leading up to the demand for new bids were solemn The Board of Health met in the Com mon Council chamber, at 10 a. m. The Board of Contract and Supply assem- bled an its own rooms, After grave deliberations the Health Board met with the Board of Contract and Sup ply, for joint de1iberation.
 The announcement that new bids would be received led to a brisk con- versation between MT. King, and Will liam L. Zepp, a member of the Health Board. The bids as advertised called for one year. MT. Ford had bid on one, five and ten years.
 MT. Zepp explained he had said things which might have caused MT. Ford to believe the long term bids were in order.
 Do you generally talk of the boards business to outsiders?' asked MT King.
 T ta1k,'' replied MT Zepp, "when- ever I think the city will be benefited by speech
 The contract is only legal for a year said MT. Ford. ''I hired a law yer and he told me so.''
 You can hire a lawyer to say any thing retorted MT. King.
 T wanted this one to say ten years, '' said MT. Ford, ''but he wouldn't
 And so the matter was adjourned for more bids, and city hall is in a maze.
 It doesn't understand how the thing was brought about. The belief has been thats.Mrs King arranged the one year bid, to have a. sure thing.
 It was supposed the letting would be on the basis of one year But whether King, or Ford, or somebody else, is responsible for the change is an unsoIved5 mystery.
