Leak in Gas Tube, Couple is Overcome

Frank Herman, 50 years of age, and Nellie Campbell. 4s years of age, were found overcome by gas, in room in the lodging house at 141 Madison ave- nue, at z o'clock this morning and taken to St. vincent's hospital.
 It appears that the couple had re- tired last night at about 10 o'clock. A gas stove which is used for cooking purposes attached by tube to the jet which hangs from the ceiling, had been burning. They turned off the burner but failed to shut the cock.
 A leakage in the tube gradually fill- a the room with gas, the couple be- ing overcome while asleep. The odor soon filled the hallway of the house, attracting the attention of other Iodg- CTS. who broke into the room in time to save the lives of Miss Campbell and Herman.
 They are reported as entirely out of danger. sI s5 4

OWED MEAT BILL 24 YEARS; DoRUS CUSTOMER
Marketman Says Interest on Account Now Exceeds
 the Principal.

A meat bill 24 years old and claim ed to have been owed by the late Charles G. Lyon. prominent resident in this city in 1902, was the topic of discussion in the common pleas court this morning when the suit brought by James H. Dorus against Florence G. Lyon. executrix, was fheard before Acting Judge Wilder.
 Dorus said he sold meat to the Lyon family in 1892 and when they moved from this city in 1902 they owed him $3O3.73. The interest since that time amounted to $419.14- Dorus asks for $722.87 damages. He claimed Lyon had promised to pay the bill but never kept his word. These later &C., Acknowledgements prevented the bill from becoming outlawed.
 Mrs Lyon, who is now a resident of New York; testified she had never received a bill from Dorus since she moved to the metropolis. She didn't think her husband owed the money for he had told her they owed no bills in this city. Counsel for Dorus ask ed her if her husband had not owed bills at Howland's, Reads, Smith Murray's and Freyler's prior to his departure from this city. Mrs. Lyon declared she didn't know of any such debts Her husband died in 1906.
 Judge Wilder reserved decision in the case.

HENRY WILLIAMS. TWAIN BURGLAR
 OBTAINS FREEDOM

Henry Williams. one of the famous pair of Mark Twain burglars is at liberty. freed after eight years con- finement in Wethersfield. He tells a story of atrocious conditions that the public is never allowed to see.
 According to Williams, torture is far from abandoned. The day he left, he said, three of his acquaintances were locked in dungeons, each chain ed by one wrist to wall, so that he could neither sit nor lie. The only air they received he said, came through eight holes the size of sil- yer dollar. They were fed a little bread and water once a day.
 Williams declared that visitors are never allowed to see these things Neither are they allowed to see the prisoners in their cells, he said but the prisoners are brought from the cells to the waiting room He said that if they saw the cells, with their vermin-reeking mattresses, threadbare blankets, and generally filthy condi7 tions. they would be shocked. The bills of fare shown the visitors look we'll enough. he said, but they are deceptive. He said the food is gar bage.
 The prisoner is we'll thought of by the Humanitarian league. He has written articles for The Square Deal, a prison paper. He declares he will publish an expose of conditions in the prison, where he worked eight years at sewing machine, from 2 a. m. to 5:15 p. m. with no exercise other than pedal-pushing. Williams sentence was for 10 years but two years were struck off for good be- havior.
 Williams and a companion entered the home of Mark Twain at Bedding and carried silverware away. In leav- ing his\ companion fell and aroused the family. They tried to escape on a train but at West Bedding, a deputy sheriff and posse attacked them and Williams shot the deputy in one leg. Both fugitives were overpOwered. Williams companion got four years.

HAYSTACKS SEARCHED
 FOR MURDER VICTIMS

Santa Monica, Cal, Oct. 24-Thirty tons of hay will be moved by the po- lice today in search for the torso and heads of Mrs. Irene Barrett and her son, Raymond Wright, who were sup posed to have been murdered last Wednesday on the Barrett farm near here.
 Police on guard at the ranch frus- trated an attempt of an unidentified man last night to set fire to barn in which the mother and son are alleged to have been slain. One of the guards fired at the man as he was about to apply a torch to the hay. The man escaped in a waiting automobile.
 The police communicated with the Los Angeles authorities and the theory was strengthened that Benton Bar rett, who, according to the authori- ties, confessed to staying his wife and stepson, had an accomplice.
