Mrs. Flonelle Axteli.

who, as Miss Nesta Neilson, was famous as an actress, and was a member of Lawrence Barrett's company when that player died, has been made defendant in'a suit instituted by her mother, Mrs. Anna D. Presby, of Stamford, who charges that Mrs. Axteli and her husbanu not only abducted her from Wilton, near South Norwalk, brought her to this city and kept her drugged for three months, but in order to obtain $2,000 worth of diamonds and $12,000 worth of property, had dogs guard her. The mother, who is 63 years of age, Utfso accuses the one-time stage fa vorite of stabbing her with a fork, thereby causing blood poisoning.

The will be heard in September the superior court of Bridgeport. Mrs. Axteli and her husband, James are asked to pay $15,000 damages. In the papers It la alleged that Mr. and Mrs.

Axteli caused Mrs. Presby to become Intoxicated in her home. Broad and Bedford streets, Stamford, and that while in such condition she was brought to the Axtells" apartments at 300 West Fifty-fourth street, this city. The aged woman says that opiates were administered, and that she was transferred to Wilton and kept a pris oner, dogs guarding her. She also says that when her daughter beat her and tabbed her with a fork the couple refused to obtain medical attendance for her.

On June 4, the- papers say, she escaped from Wilton when the effect of the drugs had been fought off by her. Through cruel treatment and the administration of drugs, Mrs. Presby saS, she was defrauded of the jewels and property. A correspondent at Wilton last night talked with the Axtells. Mrs.

Axteli. wno is called a "dope fiend" by her mother, had returned from a drive with ruddy cheeks and bright, clear eyes. "I am not guilty of any of these she said. "My sister, Mrs. Alice Stetson Gomers, who Is an unscrupulous woman, has fomented this trouble.

"When my father died my mother turned over the estate to my husband, telling him to buy a farm. She stipu lated tnat we keep her. Her story about drugging and rob bery Is a foolish fit. I can trace my sisters nana through it all. My mother came to Wilton of her own volition.

No door was ever locked upon ner. ro dogs guarded her. and no Jewelry or property was taken from her. "When she left here she said she was going to Boston, and we gave her Joo in addition to $100 she had. "It Is untrue that I ever treated my mother badly.

My sister Is taking advantage or her age and enfeebled mentally to do myself and Mr. Axten harm. "We shall have witnesses to show that my mother had the utmost free dom and every care while here. T3r. Allle, of Wilton, called at the house during her stay, and she was cheerful and happy." Mrs.

Axteli formerly was the wife of Ernest Mason, the millionaire head or tne Mason Springfield Car works. Her last notable engagement was with twrence Hanley, when she toured the south. Perhaps her most distinctive triumph was In London, when Miss Broughton. the English actress, became in, and the American girl shone in her place as Virginia Squeeze in "The Swiss Express."

Judge Sulzberger's scathing rebuke on theatrical methods on the part of the police, consequent upon last Saturday night's raid, It Is likely that Superintendent Taylor may institute another general shake-up in the police districts of the city.

Already Lieutenant R. C. Atkinson, of the 19th poMoe district. Eighth and Lombard streets station, and nine policemen of the same district, have been ordered by Superintendent Taylor to appear before the police board for trial on charges of neglect of duty. Inefficiency and unbecoming conduct.

The policemen are George Garnet, Louis F. Booker, William Fisher, Gar- leton Knottingham, Patrick" Fraln, Joma, J. Homberger, William P. Huhn, John Magulre and Harry T. Garnet.

1" While the court's most vigorous de- nunciation was of the objectionable practice of promiscuous and wholesale raiding itself, the trouble was precipitated by the contradictory evidence given by the police in the large number of cases then before the court, as a result of which all the defendants were acquitted. It was on this end of the case that Superintendent Taylor seized and promptly started on the war path. After reading the Judge's scataing arraignment of present police methods and finding that most of the cases before the court at the time came from the 19th district, he Issued the orders for the trial the lieutenant and nine of his men. While Superintendent Taylor refused to discuss in any way the Judge's remarks, he stated that the lieutenant of district and the policeman on the beats should know of the existence of disorderly houses, spealc-easlea. gambling houses and other criminal resorts.

Lieutenant Atkinson and his men must face general charges comprising negleot of duty, inefficiency and conduct unbecoming officers. The trials have been fixed for tomorrow morning. It was asserted that In the 19th dfs-triot cases the vice squad, the special polVoemen and the street sergeants we unanimous In declarations as to the character of many houses, while the policemen on the beats gave contradictory testimony, going so far as to say that the houses were perfectly reputable, and their occupants respectable people, IVlentenant Atkinson, it was. stated, had not reported the cases to the police captain of the dis trict, who receives his Information from the lieutenants. Superintendent Taylor said it was evident that there was lack of discipline, and that the Information in regard to the places bad been received from private chlzena and not from Lieutenant Atkinson.

Sneaking of fht policemen, he declared that they should nave Known what was going on on their beats. The news that Lieutenant Atkinson and nine of hie policemen had been ordered up to answer serious charges before the police board created quite a sensation in the 19th district, as other policemen fear that they, too, will be ordered up for trial. QUAKER SHERIFF WILL HANG BOY MURDERER Bodnar, Physical Wreck, May Be Car. ried to Gallows Next Thursday Morning When He Must Die WEST CHESTER. June 22.

Sheriff R. Tnomaa Garrett, has commenced preparations for the execution of John Bodnar, the young Slav, who will be hanged here next Thursday morning. The death atch Is extremely vigilant. as Bodnar has said that he would never hang If he could help It. when Sheriff Garrett came to make an Inventory of the gallows at th county Jail he foun dit was an ant! quated affair, worm eaten and rotten.

Ha told the county commissioners that he did not propose to use such an old ramsnacKie structure and probably bungle the Job. The officials decided a new scaffold was necessary. jt ney went to Media ana secured a pattern of the telaware county gal lows. Carpenters will begin work on the new scaffold at once, and Bodnar will hear the mechanics making his own gallows beneath his window. Sheriff Garrett, who is a Quaker, Is opposed to hanging, and dreads the tak that the law imposes upon him.

He says he is going to make the exe cution of Bodnar a model one. Not a single newspaper man will be present, and only the witnesses re quired by law. the sheriffs assistants and Father S. B. Spalding, Bodnar's spiritual adviser, will be at the hanging.

Bodnar, who is an American, of Slav parents, is 20 years of age. He haa wasted away until he is a mere shadow of his former self. When first imprisoned Bodnar was one of the most powerful men In the county and frv querrtly performed remarkable feats of strength, such as wheeling a thousand pounds of pig Iron on a wheelbarrow, bending steel rods with his hands and drinking from an uplifted barrel, physical condition Is now such that he may have to be carried to the gallows. Bodnar at one time worked on Governor Pennypacker's farm near Phoenixville snd was in hopes that his old employermlght save his neck from the noose. Bodnar's father and sister will take final leave of him next Tuesday.
