McGuire’s Trial for Mnrder.
Middletown Conn. Jan. 2 —lt
has been decided that tbe trial of
Frank W. McGuire charged with the
murder of Mrs. Amelia G. Gregory
will come up next week in the court
of Oyer and Terminer Mrs. Sarah
A. Brown who is thought to be an ac-
complice of McGuire is under close
surveil’ance. Bbe has made a state-
ment which is an attempt to divert
suspicion from herself and Frank Mc-
Guire and to fasten the crime on
Warren Brazington. Brazing ton was
an accomplice before the act and
shared in the booty. He has since
turned informer and is held in jail as
principal witness against his asso-
ciates in guilt. Mrs. Brown declares
that it was Brazington and not Mc-
Guire who killed Mrs. Gregory. The
fact that there is an absolute and un-
impeachable alibi established in Braz-
ington's case deprives her statement
of any value.

the laughter is raised by legitimate
or illegitimate means. Last night’s
big audience at the Grand that saw
“A Cold Day” went into hysterics of
laughter and was supremely satisfied
