iWATERBUKY EVENING DEMOCRAT. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 190S.
LLEGED RODDER HELD
'Uid Who Tried to Pick Pocket
Under a $2,000 Bood.
There was no defense to-day In the
cue agaltmt the alleged pickpocket,
Matthew Flynn, alias Michael Cllynn,
for ' attempting to rob Timothy
O'Rourke of his wad of $600 on a
train at. the old depot on the evening
of December 8, when tho last boxing
exhibition was held bore. Attorney
Kennedy , for the defense, threw nil
bis efforts into a plea to keep down
the bail.. Judge Burpee Axed It at
2,000, apparently believing that Mr
Kennedy had nothing to say on that
point, but it ' transpire that Mr
Kennedy had a whole lot to say and
he said it with a vehemence that was
striking and pointed." The last nail
for the case for the state was what
purported to be Flynn's police record
in New York. Mr Kennedy objected
to this record on the ground that it
was not the correct one. . It was ac
companied by two photographs,
which, If they were not likenesses ol
the accused looked like him as much
s possible.- The record showed that
the original of the pictures-was ar
rested under the name of Frank Wil
liams and had an alias, Joe Stelner,
his business being picking pockets,
his' age 22 on- June 19, 1898. The
record was allowed la and then Mr
(Kennedy said J2.000 was too mucn
ball for the crime alleged. He knew
of cases In the superior court where
the penalty was five,, ten and fifteen
years and yet the bond was not more
than $1,500. . He reminded the court
that In a local case wherein a man
was charged with theft of goods
worth $5,000 from a' large concern
the bond was only $1,200. Why then
should it be $2,000 in a case. where
the accused was charged only with
attempting to commit a crime? v The
fact that another party to this case
Jumped his ball should have nothing
to do with it; every case stands on
Its own legs. There is no reason, he
said, to suspect that Flynn would
forfeit his bail. It was simply Impos
sible to expect a stranger like Flynn
to get bail of $2,000 here.
Judge Burpee replied that the
main thing to be considered was the
influence of the crime charged on the
accused's mind. The fact that he
eHcaped from an officer a year ago
would Indicate that he would escape
again if he had the chance. The pen
alty of the crime charged has not
much to do with fixing bail, after all,
for a person may run from the con
nequencea. of a small crime as well
as he would from the consequences
of a larger crime. The influence of
this trial on the mind of the accused
Is palpable. He evaded justice a year
ago, therefore the only object In fix
ing ball now is to keep him from es
caninsr Brain. - He has welched all
the consequences and It ,is evident
from his flight of a year ago that he
would, not stand trial now If he got
the chance of going away. The court
accordingly fixed bail at $2,009 re
marking that it in the course of time
circumstances come up which might
merit a hearing for a reduction he
would be glad to hear them. Flynn
will be kept In the station house un
til to-morrow noon and if he falls to
secure bail by that time he shall be
removed to the county jail In New
Haven. This was allowed by the
court with the consent of the police
and at the request of Mr Kennedy.
It does not pay to obstruct a con
, stable and Eugene Gagne who keeps
a grocery store at 346 South Main
street ought to know this. Yester
day Constable Waller B. Lannen
served an attachment . on , Oagne's
store .leaving a keeper In charge.
After an hour or so Lannen return
ed and Gagne went for him. There
was a scuffle all over the store dur
ing which the officer had his face
scratched, but he returned the com
pliments with interest. Then results
began to pile upon Gagne. He was
arrested for breach of the peace and
that cost him $10 In the city court
to-day. Then Lannen sued him civ
illy for damages of $200 thus oblig
ing him to obtain bail to avert
another attachment on his store.
Tony Bellentone sneered at Officer
Grady yesterday when told .to move
on. He was fined $5 .and costs . In
court to-day. The case against
Isaac Sesselman for obtaining money
under false pretences was continued
to Saturday. Martin Dowllng while
Intoxicated yesterday had a meal at
a Greek restaurant on Spring street
and then refused to pay for It. He
was fined $10 and costs. Emll
Reuther paid what he owed on his
probation and thus setled his case.
James " McGowan promised to pay
up. He "was also charged with violat
ing the probation laws. His, case
was conuaueu iuiny uhvb.
MINISTERS RAP ROOSEVELT.
Letter on Catholic For President Con
. demned by Protbytoriant.
New "York, Nov. 24. TUe Presbyte
rian. Ministers' association of Net?
York adopted a resolution protesting
against the statement by President
Roosevelt that a Catholic, like any oth
er worthy citizen, was entitled to the
votes of his countrymen for president.
The resolution was as follows: -
Remlved. That the' Pribytrln Minis
ton' association of New York and vicini
ty corillally indorses tho letter of tho
New York Lutheran ministers to Presi
dent Roosevelt and sympathises with
them In their protest aaralnst the charge
of "narrow bigotry" by bim made afainst
any who might refuse to vote for ona
who otherwise fit happens to serve some
particular creed.
The letter of our Lutheran brethren
snakes It very clear that the antiquated
policy of the Vatican to the claim of su
premacy In temporal things, as In spir
itual, renders It inadvisable on purely pa
triotic grounds to vote Into high office
any man who owes allegiance first to the
pope and then to the neoole.
. " Charged With Murder
Rochester, Nov 24. Mrs Georgi
na Sampson of Palmyra, widow of
Harry Sampson, nephew of the late
admiral, was arrested to-day charged
with -the murder .of her husband,
whose death waa first said to 1
caused by luiclda.
TOE SEWER TRIP
,r-X-
Commissioners Tbat Dade II
Are Pleased With Work.
The last section of the prelimin
ary, work of , tha . sewage disposal
works has been finished and yester
day the board of works with City
Engineer Cairns, Engineers Taylor
and.Mounton, and a few reporters
Inspected the job. All the commis
sioners were present with the excep
tion of Martin Scully; the mayor was
also absent. ' .
The part of the big sewage carrier
just finished is known as section No
3. It is three quarters of a mile In
length, about one third of the entire
length of the sewer. The average
person, unless he goes through the
tunnel, which is just like a subway
cannot realize the gigantic undertak
ing this scheme Is. The preliminary
work Is just abr.it finished and the
cost to date has been about $200,
000. It will' Ukr, three times this
amount before it is finished, it is a
very intricate piece of work and
shows much ingenuity and original
ity upon the part of the engineers.
Aitnougn .tnere la. liKeiy tc be some,
litigation over - the part of the sys-r
tern the engineers do not seem to
think the city will be obliged to pay
anything for using the septic bed
process of the, Cameron company,
The inspecting party started yes
terday at the point where the plumb
ing station will be. The tourists had
to climb down into a hole nod some
of them had much difficulty in 'get
ting down. This plumbing stution
will be one of the principal parts of
the system. There ' the sewage
will go through . several processes
and after leaving, will start on its
final Journey: The main carrier is
considerably wider and deeper, nt
this point, and the velocity;, of the
sewage decreases to ono fourth
which allows much of the suspend
ed matter to preclplate. The refuse
which goes, to the bottom Is then
cleaned out with dredging buckets.
There are three chambers or ca
nals running from the pumping sta
tion. The main carrier, the main In
fluent and main effluent. The mam
carrier is the safety valve for the
entire system. It rs fou.- feet five
inches high and four feet six inches
wide. One tan imagine the dimen-
sons when It is possible for four per
sons, to ride .through ; on a truck.
Seated comfortably on low chairs up
on the truck, the inspectors were
pushed along by a couple "f wont
men.s Through six months of the
year, from December 1 to June 1',
when the city does not have to pur
ify Its sewage, It ' will go tearing
along through this main carrier.
. The main influent Is that which
runs to the septic tanks where the
sewage Is partly purified. The ef
fluent main is that which connects
the septic tanks with the filter beds
the last part of the process.
The controller house is where the
sewage Is finally disposed of. From
this house several gates will be op
erated. The sewage can be turned
into the river at this point or it can
be sent along the canal further and
into the river some distance below.
It is here' that the "sludge", will be
taken from the- tanks and carried to
the "sludge bed" located on an ele
vation some distance away. 'There
will be no work done on the system
this winter. All the contracts that
have been let hijve bo-i finished and
it now remains for the board to is
sue bonds for other contracts. From
now on the money expended will be
gin to show Itself as practically all
the work will be above ground.
There will be 10 acres of beds and
each acre will purify. 2,000,000 .gal
lons of sewage. There will be ,120,
000 tons of crushed stone, of the
"two Inch" kind used In the beds.
There will be four and one half
acres of reservoirs.
The total sewage of this city at
present amounts to 10,000,000 gal
lons daily. This plant will be-able
to take care of 53,000,000 per day,
consequently when the plant is fin-,
ished-lt should be good for years
and years. The sewage when it leaves
the plant, while not really fit for
drinking purposes, will be purer
than that which now flows through
the Naugatuck. Or course there is
uo telling ht.w pure that is. A man
bas no regard for one who would
take a bath there bright and early
every morning. "
The commissioners present yester
day were pleased with what they saw
and the novelty of the trip, although
Commissioners Walker and Hock
found it almost too much of an ex
perience. Before they entered the
main carrier to.taVg their seats on
the truck they had to cross a plank
about ten feet long. It was stretch
ed over a chamber about fifteen feet
deep in whl;;h there was a goodly
quantity of rain water. The plank
was very limber and Hock as well
as Walker was scared out of his life.
It reallv looked as though the plank
might cave In for It apeared to be
very thin. Hock was tne nrst ot
the heavyweights to cross and heav
ed a sigh of relief as he made the
last step.' He did all the wore wit n
one foot. Walker did the same.
Whether the city will have to pay
a royalty to the Cameron company
for royalty on the septic beds It Is a
question. William Garvin Taylor,
who planned the whole system, does
not think the city will have to pay
a cent. The city has , already de
cided to fight the-clalm of the Cam
eron company and $600 has been
sent to oppose the company which
claims to have a patent on these
beds. -

A very, very small audience wit
nessed a fairly good production of
"The Bishop" at Poll's theater last
evening. The play Is most pleasing
and in the hands of a really good
company could be made even more
entertaining than it was last evening.
Mr Ober, who played the leading
part, made a dignified and scholarly
bishop. Aside from this character
the others were in only fairly good
