, WEDS GIRL BROTHER WRONGED
Woman for Five Years Thought
She was Connell's Wife.
Boston, Sept. 24.?In atonement
for the wrong done by his brother.
John Connell, with the approval of
his parents, has married the woman
who for five years thought she was
the-wife of .Matthew Connell, Jr., the
Lynn business man who recently
pleaded guilty to the charge of bigamy
and was fined in the DorQhester
court. She had married him as John
Hensing, a traveling salesman, only
to learn later that he was Connell
and already had a wife and child.
^ She was married to the brother
yesterday by Henry Parker, justice of
the peace, at the Town Hall in Saugue
Centre. Mr. and Mrs. Matthew
Connell," Sr., stood up with the
couple.
? "I have married her," explained
John Connell, "because I want to
atone for some of the wrong that has
been done her by a Connell. I want
mv brother's child to have the name
Connell, for it belongs to him. When
I heard of the terrible charge of bigamy
against my brother I came at
once to Maine, met her for the first
time, realized her worth and asked
her to become my wife."

to work on Broad street between the
viaduct and Alabama saw a man pitch
from a scaffolding suspended at
about the third floor of a brick building
over a restaurant, they expected
to see the lifeless form on the sidewalk
a moment later.
As the rope under one end of the
plank slipped off, V. F. Ransom, a
painter, of 54 Berean avenue, cried
out that he was falling, and came
hurling through the air. His brother
standing almost directly under
\ the scaffolding looked up in time to
see the board slip out. A second
later he caught the human form in
his arms, breaking the fall to such
an extent that Mr. Ransom sustained
only a sprained ankle.
He was taken to Grady hospital
and the hurt was attended to by physicians.
The accident happened shortly after
7 o'clock when there were very
few people on the streets, though
it was not long before quite a crowd
had gathered about the scene congratulating
the one man on his narrow
escape and the other for his
bravery in receiving the force of the
fall that might- have seriously injured
or killed both of them.?Atlanta

Celebration of His Arrival, However,
Causes Trouble in Gaffney.
Gaffney, Sept. 30.?The christening
of a new born babe at the home
of S. R. Suber, a wealthy Assyrian
of this city, had a decidedly unpleasant
outcome yesterday afternoon, |
v when Suber and two of his kinsmen,
were thrown into jail after a hard
tussle with the policemen of Gaffney.
Yesterday was the day set aside
for the celebration of the arrival of
the youngster and the home of S. R.
Suber, on Frederick street, was the
scene of much merry-making. Everything
went lovely throughout the day
until late in the afternoon, when the
liquid joy, which had been partaken
of by those who were joining in the
festivities began to make Rself felt,
and trouble began to brew. One
word brought on another, and finally
a number of pistol shots rung out,
alarming the town. Chief of Police

stoutly resisted arrest and some outside

three of them were locked up while
a fourth was forced to put up a cash

PASTOR'S LOVE LETTERS.
Rev. Or. J)ann Indited Notes to a
Girl ot Nineteen.
Grant City, 111., Sept. 21.?Love
letters written to a young married
woman and containing such ardent
assertions as "I love you better than
Jesus." have caused the Rev. W.j T.
Dunn, father of eight children, to
resign from the pastorate of the
Dewey Avenue M'ethodist Episcopal
church here and to withdraw from
the Southern Illinois conference of
the church.
The letters were written to Mrs.
Estelle Massey, nineteen years old,
and unsigned. The young woman's
mother, Mrs. Joseph Mikschl, found
the letters and took them to the Rev.
D. F. H. Knight, of Edwardsville,
superintendent of the district. A
meeting of the Rev. Dunn, Dr.
Knight, Mrs. Massey and Mrs. Miskschl
followed and the pastor admitted
having written the letters, Dr.
Knight said.
The private conference at which
the Rev. Dunn admitted authoriship
of the letters was most dramatic, according
to Dr. Knight. The Rev.
Dunn evidently had not guessed that
his love for the pretty young member
of his congregation had4 been
discovered and the revelation was a
shock that unnerved him.
"Mrs. Mikschl, Mrs. Massey and
I went to Mr. Dunn's home and I
read the letters aloud," said Dr.
Knight. "When I finished I asked
Mrs. Massey who wrote them, and
she told me. Mr. Dunn made no
denial of the charges, but threw his
hands up in dismay, began weeping
and admitted he had written the letters."
Some of them contained assertions
that he loved her better than his
church.
On the pastor's admission, Dr.

surrender his credentials, with a
trial by the conference as the alternative.
The pastor resigned but Dr.
Knight said the conference would reserve
the right of a trial should one
seem desirable later.
Dunn has been married twice and
has three grown children by his first
wife. The five children in Granite
City range from three to 18 years.
He is 49 years old and was ordained
to the ministry about 12 years ago
his wife said.
CRAZED BLACK DEFIED POLICE.
Xegro, Barricaded with Rifle, is Rushed
by Louisville Bluecoats.
Louisville, Ky., Sept. 27.?After
being held at bay all night by a drugcrazed
negro, Louisville police early
to-day rushed the black's barricade
and captured him before he could
made further resistance. The prisoner,
Ed Jackson,' was arrested last
night on a trivial charge. He escaped,
took refuge in a house in the
crowded negro quarter and began firing
on pedestrians and street cars.
One of the policemen sent to arrest
him was dangerously shot.
The riot call was sounded but when
police and citizens reached Jackson's
retreat, he had barricaded himself
so securely and directed such an of- *
fective rifle fire at his pursuers that
they were obliged to fight at long
range. For two hours- they exchanged
shots with the black.
Then firing ceased and the police
awaited the coming of daylight.
The rush on his barricade
took Jackson by surprise and he surrendered,
althugh well supplied with
ammunition.
When the police gained entrance
to the house, they round two oiner
negroes with Jackson. One of them,
who attempted to rush the police was
shot down. Probably he was fatally
wounded. It is believed the two men
were in the house when Jackson took
refuge there and that he compelled
them to help him in his fight.
THE GREENVILLE HEARING.
Associated Press Account of Fraud
Investigation.
Greenville, Sept. 25.?Evidence
tending to indicate that fraud was
practiced in Greenville county in the
Democratic primary of August 27,
was placed before the sub-committee
of the South Carolina Democratic
State committee at a brief session
held in the court house here this afternoon.
A local committee which had been
conducting an investigation in
Greenville county reported that repetitions
of names on polling lists
had been found in 340 instances and
that the names were repeated anywhere
from one to five times each.
This the committee says indicates
that 340 men voted anywhere from
two to five times each in the prima w.
The committee further reported
that it had been unable to identify
128 names on the polling list of one
box in the city. Votes to the number
of 752 were cast in this box. Their
testimony will be offered later if
the committee desires it.

FAMILY BUKXED WHILE ASLEEI
Believed that Four were Murdered
Case Investigated.
Quincy, 111., Sept. 29.?It is be
lieved that Mr. and Mrs. Charle
Pfanschmidt, their 16-year-oh
daughter. Blanche, and Miss Emm.'
Kaempen, 21 years old, a teacher
whose charred bodies were found to
day in the ruins of the Pfanschmidt';
country home, near Payson, 1 6 mile
southeast of Quincy, were murdered
Circumstances indicate that th
victims perished while asleep.One
thing that led the State's at
torney to investigate is the fact tha
the only stove on the premises wa
not in the residence, but in a smal
frame structure adjoining the mail
dwelling.
Pfanschmidt was wealthy. Mis
Kaempen was a daughter of a Quinc.
contractor.
Developments to-night indicat
that all four were murdered and tha
the house was set on fire to hide tb<
crime.
While the bodies of the victim
were charred almost beyond recogni
tion, the head of Miss Kaempen wa
preserved. At the top of the skill
was a fearful wound, evidently mad
with a club. She and Mrs. Pfau
schmidt were found partly under ;
mattress which had to some exten
protected their bodies from th
flames. A pillow upon which Kaem
pen had been lying was not burned
It was soaked with blood.
Mrs. Pfanschimt's face was badl;
burned, but the back of her head wa
not touched by the fire. It bore ;
gash several inches long. The bodie
of the two older persons had bee:
burned too badly to indicate the na
ture of their death.
Indications are that the crime wa
committed late Friday night. Th
telephone wires were cut and rela
tives of Miss Kaempen in Quincj
who tried to reach the Pfaischidm
home Saturday, were unable to ge
service.
Bloodhounds are being used by th
sheriff in an effort to trace the mur
derer.

s Delicate Operation Performed.
1
Miss Olga Martin, the 18-year-old
^ daughter of Charles Martin, sat Fria
day night in her home at No. 469
t Crescent, street, Brooklyn, and told ^
I how a delicate operation had removed
a breastpin from her lung, where it
j had lodged two years ago. The operation
was performed Tuesday in the
y Lutheran hospital, East New York, _
" by Dr. John Kepe, assisted by Drs.
H. L. Barnes, F. H. De Coste and
Raymond Westover.
"I remember well the day I swallowed
that pin," Miss Martin said.
"It was about two inches long, of
s pearls and gold plate. It never gave
' me the least trouble until two months
ago. Then my right lung often hurt
[ and my throat was sore. One day a
' pearl came up in my mouth and I
t went to a doctor and was informed
that I must undergo an operation."
No anaesthetic was used for the
e
operation. The doctors discovered
that the pin was in the lower end of
the right lung and imbedded in the
tissue. A bronchoscope was flitted
over the girl's lips and an electric
R lieht was so manipulated that the
t pin was shown. It required only a
3 few seconds to dislodge it and bring
it out with forceps. The tearing of
3 the tissue was painful and Miss Mar3
tin fainted, but recovered quickly,
e The doctors found the pin corroded
e and said blood poisoning would have
" resulted had it remained much longer
in the lungs.
