ren W. Lewis through Attorney Al
bert J. Merritt today filed with the
city clerk a petition for damages and
reimbursement i
Mr. Lewis alleges that he was walk
In on th west side of Water street
between Wall street and Fairfield ave
nue about 7:30 on the evening- of
April when he noticed smoke com
Jins from a doorway. Thinking that
1 it was a smouldering fire which if not
extinguished might do great damage,
'Lewis made an attempt to put it out.
The smoke he now claims came
t from the fuse of a bomb which ex
ploded with great force Just as he
was attempting to put it out. Lewis
claims that various parts of his body
i were perforated by flying bit3 of
i metal driven with great force,' that
fone of his legs was broken and hts
I bearing totally destroyed in one ear,
'bat he does not say which leg or ear.
He alsd says that the clothing he
wore at the time was ruined. He
.claims that he was obliged to spend
' ten weeks in St. Vincent s hospital for"
I treatment for his injuries. ' He claims
j that his Injuries were due to lack of
j police protection, in that some person
: was allowed to place the bomb where
'it was, unseen and undetected by any
i member of the police department.
Mr. Lewis claims his clothing which
was destroyed was worth $60. He
;says he spent $30 for medicine, $40

He asks that the Board of Alder

The bomo outrage wnich, still re-'

HAWES IN BED
QUESTIONED
BY CORONER
Surviving Sister of Miss
Best Nurses Injured Man
at Newtown Inn
Many Tributes Paid to Fine
Character of Girl Killed
In Fateful Ride
Inquest was today begun into Uie
death of Miss Alma Best, . by the
Fairfield county authorities, aided by
the -Medical Examiner of Newtown
and the authorities at Stepney. There
is the most intense feeling at the lat
ter town, where Coroner Phelan was
iaken to the spot and carefully ex
amined the traces left by the wrecked
oar. He first questioned and took
considerable - testimony from W. B.
Craft, an eye witness to the disaster.
Later in three large automobiles they
Journeyed to Newtown. He was ac
companied from Bridgeport by At
torney Arthur Hull of this city, who is
understood to represent the interests
of Isaac Hawes. ,
Coroner John J. f Phelan and his
stenographer. Medical: Examiner
Wales, Arthur Hull, attorney for
Hawes, Sheriff A. : B.- Blakeman and
Dr. Gale of Newtown, met in room 36
of the Newtown Inn shortly befor
noon where Isaac Hawes is confined
in his bed to take testimony into the
killing of Miss Alma Best,.: near, Step
ney yesterday when the large touring
car of Hawes threw the occupants in
to a meadow.
Hawes owing to his injuries ' was
compelled to give his testimony while
lying in. bed, which covered the trip
from Newtown to the scene of the
accident. He admitted that he had
been going at a very fast rate of
speed, but had slowed down to about
25 miles per hour when he came in
sight of the turn in the road.- He
said .that he believed he could make
the turn in the road successfully, were
is not for the ; puncture of tire or
blow-out. Questioned by the coroner
as to vjhich wheel or wheels were in
volved ' he could not say. Further
questioned as. to : which wheel, right
or left, if punctured would have a
tendency to send . him straight ahead
where the accident occurred, he Said
he was uncertain, . but -thought the
right .wheel would have ddne it.'
Charles', Merwin, in rojm "Bj -wbew
questions as to his, knowledge of the
affair practically ' corroborated' the
testimony already given by Hawes.
He said that they had been travelling
at a pretty fast rate until they came
to the curve but at that point he had
noticed that the speed of the car had
been materially diminished.
Coroner Phelan announced that no
finding in the inquiry would be made
today and probably several days may
elapse before he can . sufficiently con
sider the facte and render his report.
Under the care of Dr. F. J.: Gale of
Newtown, the condition of Isaac
Hawes, -driver, of the fatal car is said
to . be . about - the same as yesterday.
Though nursed by Miss May Best, the
injured man passed a very restless
night and . his physician toUay fears
that congestion of the lungs and pos
sibly pneumonia may later develope.
He also suffered a very, severe strain
of the right shoulder. .
Charles Merwin .-.' though suffering
much pain from his cuts and bruises
is rapidly recovering from - the shock
incident to the accident.
Hawes - during the night was tinder
close surveilance of Sheriff A. - B.
Blakeman, who left : Proprietor Wil
liam Hale of the Newtown Inn,, and
the -night ' clerk in charge of him. No
other precautions were taken to guard
him. as. it was known his injuries pre
vented any attempt to avoid appear
ing bX the coroner's inquest today.
, Though he was not prohibited from
talking by order: of the sheriff, his phy
sician had denied all callers, fearing
that the strain of discussing the affair
might have serious effects upon his al
ready shaken constitution.
- It is known that the prisoner when
asked for his driver's license presented
it to Medical Examiner'; Wales, and
when asked at what " speed he was
driving at the time denied that; he had
travelled above 25 miles per hour. He
persists that a blow-out of a rear tire
caused the fatality.
Isaac. Hawes formerly lived at 76
Lenox avenue in Bridgeport. The lat
ter part of July in 1911 he had struck
and killed Mrs. Douglas at the corner
of Sherwood and Fairfield avenues.
Arraigned in the city court upon a
charge of manslaughter, he was de
fended by Attorney John Gray, and a
nolle was entered on August 9, 1911.
Many high tributes as to the up
rightness of character, obliging dis
position and general lovableness of
Miss Best were heard on every side
today. Old teachers who recall her
school days speak highly of her apt
ness at study, while in the E M. Jen
nings Auto Co., where she was most
recently employed it was said that her
work was always performed in the
most acceptable manner and-that her
habits, companions and work were
above reproach of the slightest kind.
She was beloved by all who knew her.
Probably the highest tribute to her
fine character was paid by G. W.
Barker, Secretary of the Howland
company where she was employed in
the office for several years: "I think
Miss Best left our employment two
years ago last Christmas. She was
employed ,as a bookkeeper. Everyone
liked her here both as to her work
and her sociable nature. She was
very popular, big hearted, willing to
do anything for anyone, and none
could express a desire that she did
try to realize. Her loss will naturally
cast a shadow among those who knew
her here."
- At the Bishop undertaking parlors
on Fairfield avenue where the - body
has been prepared for burial it was
said that the funeral would be held
on Thursday from the.; home of her
aunt, Mrs. Anna M. Wolf, 107 Berk
shire avenue, at 8 : 30 with funeral
services in St. Joseph's church at 9.
Interment will be in Lakeview cem
etery. - -.

DEATH OF LIFE
LONG DEMOCRAT
AT NEW BRITAIN
' - :
New Britain, Oct. 7 Charles Sam
uel Andrews, aged 91 years, died, this
morning, at the Andrews Homestead
in Stanley Quarter, ot illness inciden
tal to old age. Death was probably
hastened by a fall Mr. Andrews had
on Sept. 25, when he injured his hip
while walking from a couch to an
easy chair.
Mr. Andrews was born in Chapel
Hill, North Carolina, on Aug. 5, 188 2.
He was the son of tlie late Professor
F. A. Andrews, thon president of
Chapel Hill University. . He was grad
uated from Yale Law School with the
class of 1851.
In 1857, Mr. Andrews took his
bride Miss Elizabeth Alden, of West
Hartford, who died on October 9,
1912. He is survived by one daugh
ter. Miss Elizabeth Andrews and three
sons, Charles S. Jr., Alden and Rob
ert W. Andrews. Another son, Thos.
H., died a year ago.
He represented New Britain in the
legislature in 1877-78 and in 1882
83. A life-long Democrat, it was a
source of great gratification to him
to be able to go to the polls, last
November, and cast what proved to
be his last vote, for President Wood-

Two Gas Jets
Open; Unknown
Man Found Dead
Two open gas Jets in an attic room
at 253 State street brought death to a
man, who, from an envelope found in
pocket, is supposed to be Richard D.
Smth, early today. Cold and with
rigor mortis partially developed his
body, was found in bed by occupants
of the house, who had been attracted
through the odor of gas penetrating
even into adjoining apartments. Ac
cording to the opinion of Dr. Ll J.
Friedman, emergency hospital ambu
lance surgeon, death had preceded dis
covery by four or five hours. Dr. S.
M. Garlick, medical examiner, was no
tified and is investigating a number
of somewhat, mysterious circumstances
this afternoon. It is believed to be
an ordinary case of gas asphyxiation
with suicidal intent.
Nothing ;is known concerning th
man by Mrs. Edwin Bray, from whom
he rented the room. He was seen sel
dom from Thursday,, when he arrived
withhis trunk, until he was found this
morning. It is believed that he wag
out of the city for over Sunday, as he
was not seen and mentioned some
thing the day previously about going
away. t
The peculiar feature about the case
is that, although both gas Jets were
open, one of the two windows was likewise.-
This would make the asphyxia
tion take much longer and, had only
one Jet been open, tend to indicate
that it was accidental.
Mrs. A. M. Fowler, living at 247 State
street, was the cause of the discovery,
having gone : into a storeroom in her
attic and finding it filled with gas.
She .was nearly overcome.. Then,jfind-
ing that it .did not- came from tier
nouee, ene nf!i Mrs. jsy; j-rad Mrs
Burton' JEt, Piatt next door. They bf
gan an Investigation ,Jpoh reaching
the attic, the gas was found pouring
from beneath the Bedroom door and
aid called. -'
Jt is thought that the on tents of
the trunk, found locked by the side of
the bed, may include evidence of value
in identifying him. In a pocket was
found a letter from the White House
Clothing company on Water street ad
dressed - to Richard D. Smityi and in
forming him that the bond of $100
would be satisfactory. It also said
that he could commence work.
The man was well built, heavy and
apparently of American descent. A
sandy mustache was worn and his hair
was turning gray; His clothing -was
round to r b of medium texture. A
seal ring without initials was found
on the ring finger of his left hand.
The body is held at the house waiting
orders from Dr. Garlick.

TESTIMONY OF
RYAN RETAINED
IN THEJECORD
Court of Impeachment Re
considers Vote to Have
It Stricken Out
Albany, OctJ 7 The groundwork
for the defense of Gov. Sulzer was
expected to be laid, today, by the first
witness, Louis A. Sarecky, formerly
Sulzer's campaign secretary. In out
lining the defense, yesterday. Senator
Hinman laid much stress on the tes
timony of Sarecky. He told how the
governor practically turned his cam
paign funds over to his secretary and.
trusted in him to keep them straight.
When it came time to make out a
financial statement, Hinman said,
Sarecky drew it up. The governor
glanced at it, took his secretary's
word for its correctness, signed it and
thus ended the transaction. Sarecky,
Hinman said, did not know until af
ter the election that he would have
to make a statement and had kept no
accurate account of amounts receiv
ed. Two other witnesses Lieut. Com
mander L. J. Josephthal and Hugh J.
Reilly were held in reserve for use
in case Sarecky was excused before
the end of the court, today.
Josephfhal is the man who paid off
the governor's Wall street debts and
Reilly maintains he loaned 126,000 to
the governor for bis personal use, not
as a campaign contribution. There,
was much speculation about the Capi
tol, today, as to whether Mrs. Sulzer
would take, the stand. It is known
that the governor's attorneys long have
been firmly opposed to her testifying.
Sse has maintained, however, that it

The court of impeachment went in
to executive session almost immedi
ately after reconvening, today, for the
purpose of reconsidering the vote by
which Allan A. Ryan's testimony was
stricken from the record, yesterday.
Ryan declared Sulzer had asked him
to see Senator EHhu Rott and endea
vor to have him intercede with Wil
liam Barnes, Jr., in an effort to pre
vail upon the Republican Senators of
the impeachment court to hold the
impeachment illegal.
Sulzer requested him to see Delancey
Nicoll and have him see Charles Mur
phy in an effort to have the impeach
ment proceedings stopped. After a
session of an hour, the court voted
to retain Ryan's testimony in the rec
ord. ,
Mr. Ryan was recalled to the stand
and asked what further conversation
he had with the governor on the oc
casion of the latter's request that he
see Root.
"I suggested to Mr. Sulzer that now
that certain charges had been made
against him, I did not see that he
could afford to put himself in a po
siticn in which he could not answer
the charges.- He said the reason was
'that he did not want to drag his wire
into the situation and put her on the
stand.
"I told him I would not go to Wash-
irgton but I would try to ascertain
the Republican sentiment on that
question whether the court had , a
right to impeach him."
"Is that all of the conversation?"
asked Attorney Stanchfield. "No, sir.
He said that if they voted that the
trial was not legal he could make a
public statement and explain the sit
uation satisfactorily."
