Hartford, March 17-The Sleeping sickness hIE arrived in Hartford and last evening it was said st the Hartford hospital that several pa tients were III from the disease, which is one of the most peculiar known to medical science. Although not conta gious, or infectious to any great degree, or likely to appear in cpl demic form the sleeping sickness is one of the most dreaded maladies known.
 No cases had been officially report ed to the health department, Dr. Charles P. BOtsford, the superinten- dent, said last evening. Ut appears" he said the disease usually is & re- suit of influenza affecting the brain, the patient going into 8 coma, or stu DOT. The term sleeping sickness" has apparently been coined for the occasion, and so far as we know, it does not bear any relation to the dis ease known in Africa. by the same name. l do not believe there is dan ger of 1t spreading to any extent"

Alpine Hotel Murderess
 Has Husband Living Here
Continued From Page one)


 Manager William R. Hogan of the Alpine hotel said he heard a noise upstairs about 10 o'clock Saturday night. He sent a clerk to see what the trouble was. The clerk returned and said. There's a murder or g sui- eide up there" Hogan then went to 'an upstairs room and found Decko- vlsl2y on the floor covered with blood. Mrs. Sachcosky was seated on the floor. AS Hogan entered the room and in response to questions by the witness she replied. He shot me and I shot, too. He wanted to kill me I've got a baby and he don't pay
 Hogan declared the victim was un- conscious then and did not regain consciousness before he died.
 Charles J. Berger, owner of the ho- tel identified Mrs. Sachcoslzy as the woman who registered about D. m. on Saturday with the dead man.
 Captain Cronan of the local Detec- tive Bureau was closted with Fannie SaCh osky, the 29 year old murderer of Nicholas Deckovisky 33, of 1o7 Gilbert street, this morning for sev- eral hours. The woman maintains that DeollOyisky has been a. lover of hers for the past several years and that on his account her husband has
 
 she appealed to the Charities Depart ment and DeollovIsky was placed un- der bond to support her and the first child who is now four years of age. Although DeCRovislzy has never been regular in his allowances he became the father of another child. Recent ly the woman had again appealed to the Charities Department to enforce the non-support complaint.
 Deckovisky was about to be appre- hended by the police. He met the woman on Saturday afternoon and en- ticed her to the Alpine Hotel where he attempted to coerce her into making false statements in favor of him to the police. The woman told Decko- visky that she would not favor him 1 and that she expected him to care for her and the children. She states that he then drew q revolver which dropped to the floor during the strug- gle which followed. She picked up the gun and in self-defense shot her assaiIant.
 F'rarAk Leach, night clerk at the 1 hotel, identified the revolver from which the shots which killed Decovis- ky were fired.
 He did not know how many cartridges were in the weapon when AS S<l" IL III IL4S TOOEl 1u6 witness | testified DecovtSRy was lying in a pool of blood. The woman said to the witness, '<He tried to kdn me and I shot him.
 ! Medical Examiner s. M. Garftck told the coroner there were five wounds in the victims body. The bullet that 1 caused death entered behind the right ear
 Mrs. sachcosky was brought to the l coroner's office this afternoon but Il | was announced that she would not be | called to testify until later in the day | She was accompa nied by a man ana | woman.
