AUTHORITIES BARE SENSATIONAL
 LIFE STORY OF MURDER VICTIM

Details of an eyentfu past in the underworld have been laid bare by the investigations of the state police and Coroner J. J. Phelan into the cir cumstances surrounding the discovery of the near-skeleton, of 8 woman last August in the woods near Darien.
 Sensational and sordid disclosures have been made as a result of the in vestigations. The murder victim has been identified as Grace clifton, a once
 notorious character in Albany, N. Y- 1, Pending the finding of the coroner, William F. Fair, who was said to be the husband of the woman, and "Jack'' Devereux, protege of hers, arc still held at the county jail.
 Fair stoutIy denies that he knows anything about the affair, and says l his wife left him last June. He did not know where she went The de- 1 tective who ferreted out the case claims that he has the goods on the man and there is no way that Fair
 can get out of it.
 Grace Clifton was one of the most ] notorious of the New York town wo- men of the red light district. She conducted two places until the police l closed her up. She gained pronnin- ence at one time by suing William

 esting it was settled out of court
 While she was in Albany it was known that she was infatuated with a man named Fair who was a thea trical man with wife. She often remarked that she was going to mar ry him some day. At intervals she sent him money, it is said. Devereaux, who is only 22 years old, was often with the woman in Albany She said he was her adopted son; bhat as his parents were dope hends she took him away from them. It was later learned that the boy became a drug fiend. Miss Clifton often went to New York to see Fair
 About a year ago the woman re- ceived letter from Fair. it is said. who wrote that he was broken in health and had to go to a farm. He told the woman that there was a place in Connecticut called the OK ridge farm. which could be bought for $500. It is said that the wom- ans sympathetic nature got the bet ter of her and she forwarded money for, him to pay down. Just what this amount was is not known, but some believe it was $1.OOO. She told Fair, it is said, to buy the farm in her name, and that she would pay so much monthly.

STRIKERS WON'T BE GOVERNED BY
 UNIONS ORDERS
Meeting of Dissatisfied Bricklayers Votes to Stay
 Out, 164 to IT.
PRESS COMMITTEE
 ISSUES STATEMENT
Number of Strikers Return to Work at Arms Go. Plant
 This Morning.

Nearly 200 bricklayers met this morning in Carpenters and Painters hall on Broad street and agreed to disagree with the Stewart Construc- tion company and the local union of- f1cials. By a vote of 134-17. these men decided that they would not ac- cede to the customs of the com pany.
 The union officials, both locally and nationally, have disavowed resp onsi- bility for the acts of the men who walked out. They won't support the disagreement and the meeting this morning was not sanctioned by them.
 It is asserted by the malcontents that the Stewart company has broken an agreement that the men will be paid by 12 o'clock Saturday or aI- lowed overtime wages. They anege that frequently they stand in line from 11:40 o'clock until o'clock. Not only is the wait compulsory at noon but it occurs again at night, it is declared. because the brdcklayers have to get 8 check that admits them to work in the morning.
 The company has agreed to have two wickets for the men to be paid at. but this will not alleviate the trouble sufficiently, say the strikers.
 Concerning the disagreement over wages, the worknen say they are maintaining two homes, one here and one in the towns from which. they came. and they need the money. The company will not consider this prop ositipn, said Superintendent Griest this morning.
 According to union men, 125 re- turned to work this morning. Super intendent Griest said the men drifted ! in all. morning. Bricklayers who didn't return to work, as ordered by the union officials say only 30 men went back to work Superintendent Griest and mem bers of the union locally declare that the places will be filled in a day or 1 two. The Stewart company will not accede to any demands.
 A committee from the meeting of the sBricklayers issued the following statement to the Farmer;
 A meeting of the Asocalled dis gruntled .bricklayers were held

Two Men Known To Have Been in Vicinity To Be
 Questioned.

With the failure of the big steam shovel employed near Seaview avenue, to bring to light other parts of the corpse, the torso of which was found on Monday near the yards of the City Ice 6 Coal company the police were checked in their investigation of the probable murder of an unknown wo- man.
 Mrs. John Weidenheimer, of Mill ford, who had been unheard of by relatives and friends until yesterday was visitor at police headquarters last night where she reported having lost her handbag on a trolley some months ago. With her reap pearance one of the most promising clues yet unearthed by the police was extinguished.
 To-day a city-wide search has been ordered by the police for women who may be missing but as yet unreported. The Charities Department whose rec ords will be carefully gone over for reports of husbands that wives have left them may afford further clues Policemen on beats have been asked to ascertain all possible details of per sons believed to have left the city and houses in which serious altercations have taken place during the past year. Search is being made for two nnys- terious coveredS wagons known to have been seen in the vicinity of Stratford- and Seaview avenues dur ing the last summer or early fall. It
 was recalled at police headquarters to-day that two such rigs had been reported by patrolTnen doing duty in that section many months ago.
 The records of the Second precinct station to-day rAvealed that Police men Lavin and Feeley, on September 10 noticed suspiciousNcov buzz gy in Stratford avenue, near Seaview, at an early hour i11 the morning. Three ItaIian-speaking youths who came from Derby occupied it, and upon be- 1 ing questioned by the police were un-
 able to give a good account of them
 selves. When the wagon was search

 said that they had hired the rig in Derby to come to this city and were
 on their way home. Telephonic com
