Nine Missing After
Fire Destroys Building
at Insane Asylum
By Associated Press
MldiHctown, Conn.. Dec. 24.—Mine
men who weer among the fifty-three
midly insane pntients accommodated
in an outbuilding of Connecticut Hos
pital for the Insane, were missing to
day. as the result of lust night's fire.
The building was a modernized!
farmhouse, thro estories in height,!
heated by a hot water system. Dr. |
HavUand, the superintendent, inclines!
to the opinion that the fire started j
from a heat of kindling wood which ]
had been placed near the firedoor of
the hot water heater. In mild weath
er wood is burned to eke out coal.
Yesterday a lot of wood was cut up
for use and placed near the heater.
The fire could not have started, ap
parently from the heater itself, but
the kindling, if piled against the fire- i
box, might have dried out and ignit-1
ed. The house with its timberb dry;
as tinder after fifty years of service, {
burned quickly. The flames ran from
the basement to the roof in a very 1
few minutes. The inmates were able, |
with the exception of those now miss- j
Ing. to get out by doors and win
dows. Very little of the contents were
saved. The property loss is about
125,000.

annually on charitable propaganda
in Mexico," is said to be a "far
sighted scneme to bring about ulti

Strange Manner of
Harry New in Court
Said to Be a Habit
I .ON Angeles, Cal., Dec. 24.—Harry
S. New's strange court room man
ner, his almost motionless attitude j
and his continually staring straight
ahead, is not a pose but a habit, ac
cording to testimony introduced in
j his trial on a charge of having mur
dered his sweetheart, Freda Lesser.
The testimony was given by E. W.
McCumber, lormerly a prisoner
with New in the county juil. This
j testimony was the outstanding fea
ture of the efforts of the d\ fense to
j show New way unsound nv \ tolly,
i McCumber said lie had noticed
] other things about New which
caused htm to believe the accused
was "not right" mentally. He said
New frequently rolled up his trouser
I legs, one at a time, end studied them
j seemingly with much concern.
Many depositions from residents
of Indianapolis. New's former home,
were read to the jury by Lecompte
Davis, of counsel for the defense.
The defense is laying stress upon !
the alleged effect on the mind of
the accused by his brooding over
what counsel termed the "sad clr-1
cumstance of his birth."
