JURY WEIGHS CASE
AGAINST CAMARCO

The Camarco murder case went to
the jury at 1890 o'clock after instruc-
tions were read by Special Judge Com
stock. The instructions were thirty
pages in length.
A plea was made by the attorneys
for the defense for the jury to take
into consideration the mans family
which is now living in Italy. They
were unabel to attend the trial on &C
count of the fact that they were poor
and the war prevented them from
leaving the country.
Prosecutor Keller, however, said the
reason the family did not come was
that Camarco had left them without
support.
Attorney Lewis opened the argu-
ment for the defense. Prosecutor Rel
Ter insisted that the jury return a ver-
dict of murder in the first degree, as
the evidence, he said, clearly showed
that the Italian had premeditated the
crime. The knife which was used in
the stabbing of Lapenna was displayed
as evidence in the brutal murder.

GRAND FLEET STORY
STIRS BRITISH IRE

LONDON. Oct. 8.-The publication
in America of an American journalists
account Of his visit to the British
Grand Fleet is a matter which the
British public thinks it has right to
ask questions about. Why should an
alien writer. however friendly be the
first to give any picture to England Of
the life led by it's first line of defence
in war times, is asked here. It has
been more than once reported that q
naval Eyewitness was to be ap-
pointed, but for twelve months Eng
land has been told nothing Of the navy
from within, and how it amuses itself
while waiting for the Germans to
come out. The admiralty has allowed
no one near the fleet, and one un-
fortunate journalist, who was ship
wrecked in gale and rescued by a
battleship, was nearly put under ar
rest by her irate captain, when he
found out who the bedraggled storm
battered wretch really was.

CORSET SAVES LIFE

CHICAGO, Oct 8.-Mrs. Charles
Chadwick was alive today because she
wears a certain brand of corset. She
sat in her home sewing last night and
three blocks, Mrs. Frank Charaske, in
her restaurant, was having an argu-
ment with John Wroliczwski, in which
she accused the man of taking SIS from
her cash register. Mrs. Charaske
seized a revolver and fired at the
man. The bullet sailed through the
window of Mrs. Chadwicks home and
went straight for her heart. 1t would
have reached there but it was stopped
when it struck her corset steel.

MEXICAN CRISIS NEAR

WASHINGTON, Oct 8.-The Mexi-

here today and the big question in the
minds of officials was whether recog-
milton is to be extended to Carranza
when Secretary of State Lansing and
the ambassadors from Brazil, Chile
and Argentine and the ministers from
Bolivia, Urugua and Guatamala meet
here tomorrow.
In the Carranzista camp there is al

the opposition there is an equal con-
fidence that no such action will be

DOUBLE ALARM FOR
BLAZE FOLLOWING
BREAK OF CABLES
Brilliant Illumination Follows
Swapping of High Tension
Feed Wires.

Covered with sleet and adorned with
hanging icicles the large cables carry
ing the power to the high tension
wires of the New Haven road housed
in a corrugated iron vault on the Wall
street dock snapped in twain at 2:5S
this morning and what might have
been a serious fire was averted by the
prompt arrival of the fire department
in answer to a double alarm from box
16 at Wall and Water streets. The ca
BILE wires were lin an instant a mass
of flames which was burning the ties
overhead.
Engine and Hose Companies Nos 1,
8, 4, 9, 5, and Truck Companies and
responded in answer to the double
alarm and four lines of hose were di-
rected upon the flames which were
subdued after a half hours work on
the part of the fremen.
The breaking of the cables did not
affect the overhead wiring of the rail-
road as other supply cables in the near
vicinity afforded sufficient power.
The repair gang of the overhead
system of the New Haven road are
working today in an endeavor to re-
place the burned cables. The damage
was estimated at 800.

SUBTERFUCE IN
TROLLEY CO.'S
LATEST PETITION
Board of Aldermen Suggests
Plot to Escape Assess
ment For Bridge.

Members of the board of alder
men look upon the request of the
Connecticut Co. for permission to take
up the unused rails in East Washing
ton avenue as an attempt to dodge
payment for a part of the new bridge
that will be built over the Pequonnock
river there. "A petition for permission
to remove the rails has been filed with
the city clerk.
At the next meeting of the council
the street railroad company will be
given leave to withdraw it's petition.
The company form erly routed Bar
mum avenue cars from Main street
through East Washington avenue over
the bridge and into Noble avenue
Some time ago the bridge was de-
clared unsafe for traffic by trolley
cars and since that time all cars have
gonve over the Congress street bridge.
When the East Washington avenue
bridge was first built it was designed
for the much Nlighter horse cars and
not for the much lighter horse cars
and not for the heavy trolley cars
that now traverse the streets. Conse-
quently the Earring on the bridge
caused the foundation of the piers to
loosen and it was soon declared unsafe
for this sort Of traffic.
Before the wooden block pavem ent
was 1a1d IN East. w aSh1ngton avenue
the Connecticut Co. laid new rails and
ties in a new concrete base.
These rails have never been used
because the condition Of the bridge
has made it impossible to send cars
over this route.
If the Connecticut co. insists on re-
moving the rails the members of the
board of aldermen will appeal to the
public utilities commission to compel
them to allow the rails to remain un-
til the new bridge is constructed!
Some Of theN aldermen are of the
opinion that If the Connecticut Co.
takes up the rails in East Washington
avenue the 80 year franchise that it
holds and which is still good for 80
years more may be affected and there
may be room for another street car
company to come in and due business
in Bridgeport
BY taking up the rails in East
Washington avenue the company is
relieved from keeping this portion of
the street in repair and sprinkled for
a distance of two feet out side the
tracks.
General Manager Chapman OF the
Company when asked about the matter
said his company did mot consider it
good railroading to. allow this portion
of the tracks to lie idle for SO long a
time.
1t will probably be several years be-
fore the new East Washington avenue
bridge is built The plan of the var
ious bridge commissions is to complete
the new Stratford avenue and Grand
street bridges first and then build the
bridge at East Washington avenue.
