LOOKING FOR REWARD.
Sheriff Rigney Placed a Formal Do
mand With Judge Burpee.
The claim for the reward for the ap
prehension and conviction of those
who participated in the Faber's switch
assault case ha8 been renewed, Sheritf
Rigney having a few days ago placed
a formal demand for the reward with
Judge Burpee, as counsel for the Con
necticut Railway and Lighting Co at
the time the reward was offered. And
the matter promises to become rich in
complications because there are two
other claimants, Irving Wolcott, who
flledhls claim two weeks ago, and
w.o turned estate's evidence, and'an-
ther man whose name Judge Burpee
cannot recall. Each demand for the
rfnrd was made on paper and, Sheriff
iVe y', m m'aer T0 I2aEe no mi8taKe
about the matter, left a copy of his
demand at the offices of the company
in Bridgeport.
Sheriff Rigney claims $200 each for
the arrest of nineteen persons; Wol
cott claims the same amount for six
teen persons, and the unknown's' claim
is foi the same amount for the same
number.
There lias been no hearing on the
claims so far. or there would have
been an explanation of how Sheriff
Rigney figures eighteen persons in, the
affair unless he counts In Wolcott.
The officials of the company count, me
eight strikers who we're tried and' ac
quitted in the superior court last
spring, the eight boys who were sen
tenced to nine months in jail, making
sixteen, and Whittle seventeen. Wol
cott would make the eighteenth, hut
he was not put ou trial, though he was
arrested. .
However, the trolley company, as
represented by Judge Burpee, does not
see why It should pay anything, for so
far no one has been found guilty of
the crime mentioned In the reward.
On the- contrary, those who have been
tried for it have been fotfnd not
guilty. , ' .
But Judge Burpee says the company
is "ot inclined to be captious, .neither
will it , pay the reward to more than
one person, and that as soon as-Wolcott,
Rigney and the unknown person
can agree in the matter the company
will pay what is fair. ' ' .
The reward offered by the company
was $200 for the arrest and conviction
of those guilty of the assault on Merna
anrl Morrissette. the car crew that was
assaulted on Feber's switch one night
a year ago this month.

MARSH DEFENDED.
A Voice From New Haven Denies
Some Published Statements.
New Haven, Conn.
Dear Sir: Will you please be so kind
as to publish this statement in your
paper. No wonder Marsh cannot get
bail when they print such things as "
was printed in the American Wednes
day evening of Februai-y 24, 1004. He
did not say he would tell things that
would set the rest to guessing, for ho,
said h had nothing to say against
any of them; and as far as breaking
down in the trial which is to come, is
also a misprint, tov he has nothing to
break dcwn for, and as faT as belpg a
witness against Vandemark, he knows
nothing of his trouble and doings, and
as far as being a stranger in the city,
is a misprint also, for ho has Jived
there for the last ten or eleven years
and has 'a great many f riend
tnere. Is it any wonder he cannot get
bonds w-en they try to put him down
as the vWorst of mankind? As for
Marsh having any important informa
tion for the prosecuting officials, It ln
a falsehood; for Jae knows nothing
aboHit the assaults and doings of oth
ers only as read in papers and what ,
was said- at last June's trial, and it is
very evident that the paper Is trying
to impress upon the minds of his
friends that he is not worthy of their
friendship any longer.

the office would be declared vacant if v
he dldnot resign and; turn over his t.
books audited, and it Is eaid that the
next church meeting, which is listed
for the first Monday in March.
It may be that it will not be held

trip for his health and may not return
by that time. Mr Carey, it Is under
stood, has asked for an audit of the

The guards on duty inside the prison
are armed simply with sticks. The ,
reason is obvious, for if Guard Rowe
had been carrying a gun Rudolph
would surely have taken it from him
and then he would have used, the
guard as a shield and might have sue
ceeded in forcing the turnkey to open
the gates by. ' threatening the life
Rowe ' 1
Rudolph v refused to talk about M ,l
escapade and Ignores U questions
bearing on the matter. Tobias Taylor,

ls a strong sentiment in favor of -ask-iiiff
the governor to pardon him, tor he

The prisoners are alwaj-s dreaming of
such an opportunity as Taylor got last
night and, as a ruie, w UJlUi"

Kansas prison, there are dozens of
prisoners who -will Jump at thej:hance

creat many of the prisoners, and as
Taylor Is in tor life it may truthfully
be said that fortune has smiled on
him and it is a certaintv that he
smiled broadly on the warden when he
met him in the prison yaTd this morn
ing. Tobias expects a reward of om
kind. If he 'shortfd go out he will fol
