JEALOUSY A TERRIBLE THING
John Hopper Believes Rival Workman
Sent Him ''Valentine'' With Pirate
Insignia aud Bleeding Heart.

Literally decorated with a rough
ly-drawn skull and bones, daggers,
bleeding hearts and other gruesome
pictures, a New Years emembrance
in the form of a homemade decree,
was received by John Hopper of 10S
Franklin street yesterday. 1t was
sent by mail and mailed in New
Britain. John is greatly alarmed as
he believes that the skull and bones
portrayed are such as his will look
like soon and that the daggers and
bleeding heart refer to the method
of his being put out of the way. The
missive bears a New Years greeting
and the words Every dog has his
day and you will have yours
John also says that it is no joke
to be thus remembered on New Years
day He does not intend to be both
cred this way and has consulted the
police and plans, to have a confer
ence with Prosecuting Attorney
George w. Klett 1t is but recently
that he received an incoherent let
ter, that he translated to be death
warrant. He consulted Prosecuting
Attorney Klett at that time. John
says he believes companion work
man, jealous over the difference in
ability and pay, is responsible for
both letters.
