Norwich bulletin., 1917-07-28

It is weIi-known that tn, police officers of the city have beeI warned re repeatedly that they will be heli re- sponsfble for the failure to report violations of law that cornt to their knowledge, but the warning does not bring results. due in part, perhaps, to the present form of direct police man. agement by the police committee of the court of common council, and with the natural political effect. That there are continuous violations of law in the city the police and the people, and Messrs. Cavanaugh and Wooten, know very well, and there is frequent expression against the lack of en- forcement of the law. The fault is evidently not with the regular po- lice force as their action is said ru be more or less held in restraint by the power higher up. as they would say in Norwich or New York Per haps that's reason why the Woo ten -Cavanaugh force is acting in1e- pendently and with results. Aside from the exaggerated park case, these officers are doing very effective work in prosecuting proprietors of places where intoxicating liquors are sell ing contrary to law. Therefore pnF- haps. it is well that there are two in dependent police departments in the little city of New London.

 New London, July 21.-The law Of capital punishment by the antiquated method of hanging still prevails in the Nutmeg state, but so modified that public hangings are doings of the past and now those condemned of murder in the first degree meet their death on the gallows within the con fines of the state prison and only witnessed by the required number of officials, the officiating clergyman ayrd press representatives. Should the sentence of the law be carried into eff feet there will be a hanging in the state prison before the year ends, the victim being Amy E. Archer Gilligan, who was found guilty of murder in the first degree by jury in the su- perior court at Hartford. She was rhe proprietor of a sort of home for old people, where the aged were re- ceived upon the payment of. a sum that would insure their care for life. In order to save the expense of their support, Mrs. Gilligan was found guilty of poisoning a man who was a life member of her home. There were several other cases charged against her. but in the trial she was accused of the death of only one. When the jury brought in a verdict of Guilty, Judge Gardiner Greene. of Norwich. who presided at the trial, was forced by duty and the law to impose the death penalty by hanging.

So far as can be learned, Katherine Garrett, commonly called Indian Kate, was the first person to be hanged in New London. The public exec ution was on Town Hill and for lhe murder of her infant child under circumstances similar to those of Sarah Bramble fifteen years after ward. The deed, according to history was committed at Saybrool about six months previous, but Kate was brought to New London for trial and the execution was ordered to be here Kate was a Pequot Indian of the North Stonington reservation, twen- ty-seven years of age. She had been reared in Saybrook and well instruct ed.

Harry Niles was hanged for the murder Of his wife. November 4, 1907, and it was the third execution for the town. The gallows was erected in the highway at the head of Granite street and history says that ten thousand spectators covered the ad1a- cent fields and heights. The sermon was preached by Rev. Abel s. Mo Ewen. pastor of the First Congrega- tfonal church and his topic was on Temperance, it being alleged that the crime for which the accused suffered death was due to intoxicat ton. Harry Niles was a Narragansett Indian with quarter cross of African blood a large. fineloolIing fellow In the prime of life, belonging to the Indian reservation in North Stonington He had been we'll trained and taught in the family from which he received his name, but was not proof against the temptation of the white mans fire water. In a drunken fight with his wife on their way home from market where he had obtained the liquor, he inflicted blows upon the woman that caused her death. In this case it was an eye for an eye, and a tooth for tooth.

he last public hanging in New London was a Norwich man, Sher- man by name, who, while, savageIy drunk, murdered his wife and infant child. The crime was committed in Norwich, but the trial took place in New London and execution was or dered to take place in this town. on this occasion. The death penalty was inflicted without much notori- 1ety, in the shadow of the walls of the cid jail, that stood by the water side at the foot of the parade June 1s. 1884. It was the last public hanging in the town.
 There seems to be two police de- oartments in New London. the one composed of Officers Wooten and Cavanaueh, two of the newest ap- pointees. and the other is the one captaened by Brigadier General George Haven, veteran soldier and police officer. Both are in the direct command of Mayor Ernest E. Rogers, who by virtue of his office as de- fined by ordinance, is the chief of police of the city of New London. The mayor seems to have the new men, Wooten and Cavanaugh, some times chased as Cavanaugh and Woo ten, on his personal staff, and uses them as a force of his own. Or else he gives them a free hand to do about as they please and without consult ing the captain or the lieutenant of :he police force, a privilege not par rnftted other members of the force. The two men had hardly got accus- toned to the fit of their uniforms when theg raaded a place on Atlantic

Mr.. Malcolm MacKinnOn, secre-
tary of Meridian Highway Associ-
alton. was in the city Yesterday in
the interest of the Lakes to Gulf
automobile highway. From the
great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico,
the prospectus shows the route he
represents to be the shortest line
between the points which would
pass through the populous centers
and important cities and towns.
Mr.. McKinnon will attempt to
interest the business people of Alb
erdeen, through their board of trade.
to cooperate with his association
to have the highway pass through
this town.
This association has been incor-
porated, and has for its motto: Not
for pecumarv profit" it is therefore
to upbuild and develop the country
through which it is proposed to
pass. The route was contemplated
to pass through West Point, but
has been modified so as to pass
through Aberdeen to articulate with
the Jackson Highway at Columbus.
1t is hoped that our people will not
turn down this last opportunity to
secure the trunk of a great high
way through Aberdeen.

bage plants for sale in two issues of
The Aberdeen Weekly. He is now
besieged with orders accompanied
by the money for plants. The re-
cent cold weather destroyed all the
early cabbage plants so he is unable
to fill orders and is returning the
money thus received because the
plants can not be had. These or
ders came to him from all over this
and adjoining counties. The above
mention is made for two reasons:
One is that DR.. Nisbet can not sup
ply the cabbage plants at this time,
the other is to show that it pays to
