AT MURDER TRIAL
Doctors Descriptive Powers
Bring Wounds to View.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Jan. 4.-Crushed
by the description OF the grewsome
wounds on the body Of her husband,
Mrs Ethel II. Mott collapsed in the
courtroom here today and was led out,
stumbling and sobbing. This dramatic
episode featured the actual opening OF
the trial Of Elwood B. Wade, on a charge
Of killing Mott in the Jazz" piano MUIR
der case, putting his body in trunk
and sinking It in a swamp. Mrs: Mott
and another man are also charged with
the killing.
The recital which caused Mrs. Motifs
breakdown was that of Dr.. 5. NJ. Gar
lick. county medical examiner. q little
old man with gray hair and beard, who
made the autopsy on George E. Mott
after he had been stabbed to death while
Jazz" tunes were played on a pianola
to drown his cries.

IN 4 monotone, employing technical
phrases, but so grewsome that even the
sensa tiOn-hunting spectators shuddered.

er and soon her body was cOnvulsed with
sobs. Finally she uttered 4 muffled
moan and slumped forward in her seat
Two deputies sprang forward and assist

PLAN TO SELL 40
CITY FIRE HORSES
MOtOrizatiOn Renders Former
Equipment Useless.

Forty fine horses, once the pride OF
the firemen at various fire stations, now
stand idle and discOnsolate IN their stalls
because they have been replaced by
motor fire fighting monsters.
Because the forty horses are eating
just as much SIS they did before they
were replaced with ten Stutz motor
bumpers, which the board OF public
safety has accepted delivery on from the
StUtz Fire Engine Company, the board
win take immediate steps to dispose of
them, City Purchasing Agent Dwight s.
Ritter announced today.
The first step in their sale was taken
yesterday when Judge Harry o. Cham
berlain Of Circuit Court appointed ap
paisers to fix not only the value Of the
ninety horses in the fire depart
ment which are to be replaced with motor
equipment but also all the wagons, trucks
and other unnecessary equipment which
the board has on its hands. The ap-
praisers are J. J. Schmid, real estate
dealer; A. B. Carter, head OF the horse
division Of the Indiana State Fair and
Roy Zapf, attorney. They will make
their sappraisals as quickly as possible
and report to Mayor Charles w. Jewett.
Mr.. Ritter said. The sale date will be
fixed shortly thereafter. Several sales
probably will be held since It is desirable
to get rid Of the horses as fast as they
are replaced with the motor apparatus.
Five of the best aniamls will be turned
over to the mounted police to replace
cd horses, Mr.. Ritter said Ten will be
disposed Of to the board Of park com
missiOners.
a better price can be obtained by ship
ping some Of the animals to eastern buy
ers, Mr.. Ritter believes, and this prob
ably viii be done. Ice and coal dealers
are expected to bid for the horse drawn
hose wagons and local theaters are said
to be interested in purchasing some Of
the horse drawn ladder trucks for con-
version into scenery wagons.
The city budget for 1921 includes an
item Of 81, 800 for horse feed for the fire
department. Mr.. Ritter said that gaso-
line and oil can be bought for the motor
equipment for the full year and a surplus
Of $4,000 be left in the fund if the horses
are sold soon.
