STAVOLA'S CASE
] is CONTINUED
IN TOWN COURT

While conducting raid on Stavo-
Jas temperance saloon in Honeyspot
road, Stratford, Saturday night. Chief
of Police Nichols, of Stratford, had =
barrow escape from being shot to
death by Jimmy Di Nicholas, who
drew a gun as the police chief en-
tered the place, but was unable to
Use it owing to the quiclkness with
which the officer sprang upon and
disarmed him.
The raid followed the near muir
der of Albert Di Nicola, of 80 Hallett
street, last Thursday night, after an
argument in Stavola's place, when it
came out that Stavola was selling
liquor without license. When the
faiding party came to the saloon last
night Jimmie Di Nicolas pulled a re-
volver and was about to open fire
when Chief Nicols sprang upon him
and wrenched the gun from his
hands He was Immediately placed
under arrest and charged with car
rying concealed weapons, while the
owner of the place, Angelo Stavola,
was charged with selling liquor with
out a license.
When the pair were arraigned in
the Stratford town court today their
cases were continued until next
Thursday.

London, June 1o.---The new Ger
man attack is directed Immediately
against Compiegne as part of the
campaign against Paris, according to
virtually unanimous newspaper COM
ment here.
In the opinion of some commenta-
tors in the morning newspapers the
section attacked is a vital one be-
cause of the various detached heights
which lie across the head of the val
ley of the Disc and it's great railroad
and road to Paris. Any important
gain in this direction would, it is re-
marked, bring the enemy out into
the level country toward st. Just and
Clermont and enable him to avoid a
frontal attack on the forests of Com
piegne and Villers Cotterets, which
are of great value to the Allies for
/ defensive purposes. Such a gain, it
is held, would probably compel a re-
adjustment of the Allied front be-
tween the Disc and the Marine.
Another object of the new move is
assumed to be an attempt to outfank
the French lines in the scissors sec
| tor.

GERMANS PLACE
CAPTURED men
IN DANCER Zone

Geneva, Switzerland, Sunday, June 9.
Eight French soldiers who escaped
from Camp Wisburg, near Mannheim,
and arrived here yesterday, report
that there has been increasing vigor
during the last three months in the
"reprisal camps in Germany. The
British troops particularly are suffer
ing, while the French are fairly well
treated. The treatment, the escaped
prisoners declare, becomes more severe
after each air aid on the Rhine towns,
the Gemans hoping thus, an officer
member of the party said, to cause a
cessation of the Allied raids.
This officer added that the Germans
were exposing the lives of both Allied
officers and men by concentrating
them near ammunition factories like
ly to be attacked. But" he added,
1--WE prefer to be killed by our own
bombs rather than give in Let the
raids continue"

Stewart Killed By
Fall From Window

William Stewart of S5 State street
was killed almost instantly about
midnight Sunday morning when he
fell from a front hall window 35 feet
from the ground. He had been drink
ing and evidently had mistaken the
window for his room. Patrolman
Edward Daley saw the man on the
sidewalk and ran to his assistance,
but when the ambulance arrived DR..
Gavlas pronounced him dead
The dead man was about 3S years
old. and had been living at the Grand
house for some time but nothing is
known about his occupation and rel
atives. A card of membership was
found on his person showing him to
be a member of the Theatrical Com

as a weight for the body while in the
water, were brought to police head
quarters where they are being closely
examined with a view to possible clues
icing found.
The entire machinery of the police
department was set in motion going
over the files of women who have
disappeared lately and efforts are be-
ing made to link up the circumstances
with some of the mysteries which oc-
cupy the pigeon holes of the detective
bL reau.
So far Captain Cronan has been
able to report little progress in the
matter. but it is the belief he has
something in mind and that within
very short while the seeming mys-
terry will be solved.
The fact that the woman was young
was at once apparent to the medical
authorities who gave it as their opin-
ion she was about 25 years of age, 5
feet 4 inches in height, and weighed
in the neighborhood of 1875 pounds
Another opinion which was advanc-
ed was that the woman was on board
some boat or barge in the harbor
and after being hit over the head, was
stripped of her clothing and anything
that would lead to her Identification
and thrown overheard.
Tho theory that she had commit
ted suicide was at once secuted be-
cause it would have been physically
impossible for woman Of her
strength to have gone far out in tho
water with the heavy weight attached
to her.
Although the flesh is ina bad state
Of decomposition another belief ex-
pressed by the authorities is to the
effect that she is of Italian birth and
this gives rise to the suspicion thai
she was in some way connected with
the Italian feuds which have been
disturbing Bridgeport for some time
rast Notwithstanding the big efforts
of the police departments to prevent
the disorders
