diately to Manassas, where, after

deaths, county officers said.
Woolfenden is a nephew of
Walter E. Woolfenden, a neighbor
of the Miller's. who was arrested
shortly after discovery Of the
crime and later released.
Woolfenden is said to have
made statements which conflict
with the story told by his uncle.
It has been established that the
younger Woolfenden was near the
scene of the killing the fatal
night.
Dead in Burned House
The charred bodies of the Mil
Ter family were found in the
burned ruins Of their farm home.
County officials at first dis
agreed over the cause of death.

the other vetoes 1f the former dean of Yale Graduate school have met similar fate.
 'The ostensible reason given by it's author Cor the repeal bill) is that section 4S of the general statutes is unconstitutional" said the veto mes- sage. 50 far as I am aware, the question of unconstitutionality was first raised after the election of last November"
 Governor Cross reviewed the his tory of executive judgeship appoint ments, and said the Constitution merely provided actual appointment of Judges should be by the general assembly, and, in the case of com mon pleas judges, left the manner of nomination to be decided by stat ute. He expressed an opinion it would have been better if the consti- tutional "qualms" had been aroused during the administration of my immediate predecessor" (Governor John H. Trumbull, republican,.
 Governor Cross said he was aware provision had been made for the general assembly two years hence to submit constitutional amendment authorizing nomination of common pleas sudges by the governor to the people.
 For reasons which I have just stated" said the governor, this seems quite unnecessary. If the pro- posed amendment can overcome all the obstacles it must encounter, it will become a law on which the gov ernor may act in 1885.

GOV HORTON OF
 TENNESSEE HAS
 MANY TROUBLES
Legislature Is Trying to Impeach Him and Re- quires Only Six. Sigma lures to Start It


 Nashville, Tenn, May 26-OP)- A resolution creating special house committee to consider articles of inn peachment against Governor Henry Horton needed only six signatures today to pass the lower house of the state general assembly.
 The resolution, instructing the special committee either to prepare charges of impeachment or to end it's work, was introduced yesterday after the reading of the three re- ports in both houses by the legisla- tive Investigating committee, which for four months has been conducting an exhaustive inquiry into Governor Horton's administration. The resolu- ton has A signatures and needs only 50 to pass. It must lie over for three readings under the. rules.
 The majority report of the legisla- tive committee charges the governor with undue friendship to his politi- cal benefactors. It outlined how the banks owned by Caldwell x Co. allegedly received vast sums of state money through Governor Horton and his cabinet. The report said that Luke Lea, Nashville publisher, was associated with Caldwell and alleg- edly was instrumental in certain of the governors appointments and official acts.
 The minority report reviewed vir- tually the same evidence as the ma iority report. It criticized the major ity for alleged imperious conduct of the investigation and charged refusal to admit any evidence not damaging to the administration.
 A report of the auditors employed by the committee charged political favoritism and inefficiency in govern ment, and recommended changes in laws and redistribution of adminis- trative powers which would prevent recurrence of the present situation.
 Rep Frank Stockton criticised the governor for allegedly making a statement that Frank Rice, Memphis political leader and administration enemy, was allowed to attend the executive sessions of the state inves- tigating committee which was re- ceiving financial and administrative affairs.
 The present session of the legisla- ture will last 2S days. Following sine die adjournment, the senate will con- vene as court of impeachment if the resolution asking for the removal of the governor passes the house.

Macintosh Was
 Disappointed
(Continued from Page D

How did they stand?"
 His face frightened with evident satisfaction when he was informed that his stand had won the sup port of the famous liberal trio of the supreme court-Holmes. Bran deis and Stone and caused Chief Justice Hughes to align himself with the minority and write his first dissenting opinion.
 Professor Macintosh will not modify his views in order to gain citizenship, he said.
 'I'm not budging from my stand one bit" he asserted grimly. "I will make no further attempt to obtain citizenship if my point of view is unacceptable"
 The convictions which caused the professor to decline to take an oath to bear arms in support of the United States with reservation against conflicts which he regarded as against the will of God" were formed in actual war experience. At the outbreak of the World war, Professor Macintosh obtained leave of absence from Yale Divinity school and enlisted as a chaplain with the British forces. He served in that capacity until entry of the United States into the war. Because the United States was his adopted country-and he had already made an attempt to become a citizen-he transferred to the American Y. M. C. A., with which he served until peace came.
 Yesterdays defeat in the supreme court is only another of a series of disappointments experienced by Macintosh during 20 years of effort to become naturalized. He even had an amusing difficulty in gaining en- try to this country from Canada.
 Presenting himself at the customs office on the Canadian border near ly 25 years ago, Macintosh was asked where he intended going. He replied his destination was New Haven "Got a job?" asked the off, cial. 'Yes," replied Macintosh '"Then I'm afraid we won't be able to let you in," he was informed. But they're going to be disap- pointed they expect me- exclaimed Macintosh. well, what were you going to do?" the customs official demanded. Macintosh said he was to have taught theology. "Oh,' said the official, 1T thought you said you were going to work. Go ahead in.''
 As soon as he had been here a sufficient time, the professor applied for naturalization. He discovered ironically enough, he believes, after the fuss about his entry-that the government had no record Of his having entered the United States Federal officials said as far as the government was concerned he was not here and hence could not be naturalize
 Macintosh persisted in his efforts After the interruption of the wal he renewed them and finally was able to have the matter of entry ad. iusted. Two years ago lie appeared before a naturalization agent here When asked to take oath to peal arms he stated his reservation. lie explained he could not, as man of God, swear to bear arms in d conflict against the Kellogg pact, fol example. On January 9, 103O, Fed eral Judge Warren B. Burroughs officially denied him citizneship.
 Believing the case more than personal matter, the mlid-man nered theologian resolved to nsh, for his principles to the supreme court if necessary.

Bridgetts, 29, the son of a wealthy commission merchant, was accompanied to police headquarters by his attorney. George Leisure. questioned by Lieut.. Peter Bree, Bridgetts readily admitted the shooting, police said, and claimed he shot the surgeon in self defense, according to police.
 He placed .32 calibre automatic pistol on the desk and said he had fired two shots from it. He also produced black Gladstone bag, which contained a suit soaked with blood and overcoat also spotted with blood.
 His statements confused police when he said that although he had shot in self defense, Dr Loughlin had no gun.
 Questioned further, Bridgetts said that he would make no other state ment on the advice of his attorney. He refused to say how. he received the woung in the left arm.
 Dr Loughlin's body was found in a sand fill-in in Marine Park, Brook lyn, early Sunday. He had been shot twice, once under the right arm and again through the right temple. This indicated, police said, that he had his right hand raised as though 10 fire at an opponent Tn a duel. Two stakes had been plac- ed in the ground. marking off ap- proximately 20 paces. The sur gcclns body was found near one of tho stakes, and a brown felt nat apparently the property of his op- ponent was lying near the other marker.
 Mrs Loughlin further bore out the duel theory when she told po- lice that she and Dr Loughlin had been estranged and that her his- band blamed Bridgetts, a second cousin and at one time close friend, of telling her of clandestine affairs the surgeon allegedly had had with other women.
 She told police that she and Dr Loughlin were having heated ar gunent after her. lawyer had Valniy attempted to reconcile the couple saturday night, when BrldGetts walked into the house.
 Dr Loughlin then turned on him, she told police, and after an argu- ment, asked him to come on out on the back yard and fight" Brid- cctts refused, she said, and lcft the house. He returned an hour later, according to Mrs Loughlin and he and the doctor drove away to keep a business appointment
 Bridgetts later was turned over to the Elizabeth Street station where he was questioned further and booked on a charge of homicide.
 "I shot him, but l did it in self defense" he was quoted as saving "I refuse to make any other state ment on the advice of my attorney.
 He refused to answer when asked if the shooting had grown out Of the accusations made by LouShlin' He also ignored a request to sign q statement concerning the Killing. He did not tell police where he had secured his change of clothing.
 Bridggetts was taken to Bellevue hospital where physicians said the bullet had lodged against the bone in his left arm. They said the arm apparently was numb from loss ot blood and that Bridgetts felt no pain.

they contributed from their earn ings approximately $375,000.
 With this money, it was possible to administer to the needs of over 10000 people or one tenth of the city's population and to prevent tre- mendous suffering among the poor.
 The contributions so generously and magnanim ously made have raised Waterbury to a position where it is the envy of every city having an unemployment problem.
 Waterbury is now facing another serious unemployment situation. Since the original pledges terminated on May 1st hundreds of people who were thrown out of work are once again in dire need. The relief committee, which has continued to function since May 1st. operating on funds involved in the balance in the unemployment fund, is wholly un- able to cope with the situation.
 In view of this fact, I am again forced to call upon the generosity of the good people of Waterbury to help out in this present emergency.
 can think of no moro worthy cause than helping ones neighbor, and, as Mayor of Waterbury, and sognizant of the seriousness of the present situation, ] most sincerely urge the generous and whole hearted support of the entire community for the Unemployment Relief Commit tee in its quest for additional funds with which to carry on it's humani- tarian work.
 Given under my hand and the seal of the city of Waterbury this twenty sixth day of May in the Year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirtyone.
