Lincoln worried greatly over the situation. He
felt that he in honor bound to marry the

But while Lincoln had due regard for the
sanctity of his promise, implied otherwise. he
tried hard to make Miss Owens understand that
he was not desirable partner for life. He wrote
to her some of the queerest love letters that per
haps any man ever penned. He told her over and
again what miserable life she would have
with him. In one of them he said:

is great deal of fourishing about in carriages

 Mrs. John Sheehan. an elderly woman, of Gil Fairfield avenue, fell in John street, and suffered com pound fracture of her left wrist.

TECHNICALITIES WILL NOT FREE

Judge Refuses to Sustain Demurrer Filed By Coun-
 sel of Darien Man.

'1 don't feel quaI fled to let these men escape on a technicality," declar- ed Judge Burpee in the criminal su- perior court this afternoon as he over ruled demurrer filed by counsel for William F. Fair and Jack neveraux, charged with having killed Margaret Fair in Darien in 1914
 Attorney John Keogh of Norwalk, filed demurrer on the ground that the states complaint did not state how the accused met her death. He claimed the accused should have more specific infornation so they would know better how to frame their defense. He wanted to know if the state would plaim Mrs. Fair had been shot or poispned or what method had been used. States Attorney Cum mings said he had given all the in- formation he had in the complaint. He declared if the state didn't know inst how the woman had been killed that fact was more to the disadvan- tage of the state than to the accused for it would make the states case harder to prove.
 After overruling the demurrer Judge Burpee allowed a short recess and then stated that the trial of the accus- ed would start at 2 this afternoon.

STANLEY WON'T BE RENAMED AS COMMISSIONER Present Term to Be Last One, According to Rumor
 About City CRITICISM OF HIS
 REGIME THE CAUSE Friends Circulating Report That Press of Business
 Is Reason

As a result of the severe criticism to which the police department has been subjected under the adninistra- tion of John C.. Stanley, president of the board of police commissioners. which has included charges of in- competency, it is stated that Stanley, although desiring reappointment will not obtain the position, but will have to quit when his term expires Jan. 1.
 Realizing this, friends of the com missioner have caused to be cfrcu- lated a report that his duties as vice president of the American & British Co. have assumed such proportions that it precludes giving attention to any affairs other than those at the factory.
 It is understood that despite the present status of Stanley with the. po- litical powers-that-be, influential per sons will attempt to prevail upon John T. King to have Stanley reappointed. Whether or not they. have sufficient inbuence remains to be seen.
 Reports of Stanleys failure as a po- lice commissioner and the report that he is. slated to go,. evidently have greatly irritated him. When asked this morning about his reappo1ntnent. he grew wrathful and gruffy re- marked. ..Go see the mayor
