Miss Austin, a waitress in the

staggered halfway to his feet and
fell dead. Marchand managed to
stumble a few steps toward a
bathroom, and then collapsed and
died.
DR.. Klebba said the acid was
one of the deadliest and most in
Simultaneous known. He said it
would have been impossible for
the men to have walked more
than a few feet after it was ad-
miniStered.

from her husband, said she and
Mrs. Mullaney, the latter a widow

three doors away.
Later, Marchand drove Mrs.
Shannon to a home where the
woman is employed as a domestic,
and Mrs. Mullaney and Ross re-
turned to the saloon. Marchand
then returned, and Mrs. Mullaney
left the men in the beer garden
to go home to get her children

Possur1,! High School Youth Makes Early Nor. ming C Capture Treasures Catch.

A number of Waterbury sports men take their hunting seriously enough to prepare for a few hours of such sport several days in advance, but to Frank Groody, IS, of 450 Wilson street, it's a bit of recreation which he enjoys daily before breakfast. Frank, who is a member of the rifle team at Wilby high school, picked up his gun about 6 o'clock this morning and as usual started for the woods off Highland ave- nue, only a short distance from his home. Early rising ne!ghbors consider Frank and his young bird dog Murphy" familiar fig- ures about this time each morn ing.
 When in the woods only & few minutes today, Murphy suddenly darted out towards Tammerack Swamp and when overtaken by his master had "cornered" a fine specimen of 'possum, the animal engaged in one of the customary tricks of the breed, playing dead possum. Frank who is well ac- auainted with such tactics decid- ed that he would rather take the animal without firing a shot which would probably ruin the beautiful fur skin, and instead struck ablow with his rifle stock which rendered MT. Possum un- conscious.
