You Stole My Little Daughter Incident and Fires
A distressed man William Mansfield aged 26 attempted suicide by gas at his Scovill street home after locking himself in a gas filled room. His wife forced entry and Dr Brennan saved him. The report merges with a block-fire at 715 North Main street and a chase involving a barber and a missing sixteen year old girl. Nearby events note Baron Speck von Sternburg funeral plans and the Zust machine from the New York Paris race arriving in Moscow for repairs.

The piece surveys Connecticut politics with Hon George Lilley of Waterbury poised as a Republican gubernatorial candidate, leading Governor Woodruff and Lt. Governor Lake in delegates. It notes Lilley’s prior Washington accusations, McLean’s skeptical stance, and a tangled scene involving Bulkeley, Brandegee, and House intrigues, ending with a cautious nod to Lilley’s potential governorship and a brief nursery joke.
