A Brother-In-Law of William H. Thorpe Found In Winsted Out of his Head
Wm. H. Thorpe, manager at 23 City market has just received intelligence that his brother-in-law, Fritz H. Bond was found in Winsted Tuesday morning in a dazed condition and considerable out of his head. Bond has resided at Oyster Point for a number of years and most of the time has been in the employ of J. Smith & Son. He has worked in the oyster business part of the time and was employed at the fish market in the City market. There has not much employment for him of late and last Friday he started out in search of work. He first went to Bridgeport and made inquiry for employment among his friends, but nothing offering he said he would go to Winsted his former home of his brother Edward Bond in Winsted. He was walking in his stocking feet and was carrying his shoes, in which were found his watch and shirt studs. He presented a forborn appearance and looked like a versatile tramp. It seems that being short of money he had walked from Bridgeport to Winsted.
Bond seemed in a state of collapse, both in mind and body. He could give but ___ tle account of himself, but kept repeating that he wanted to go to Winsted. His brother wrote to friends in this city for an explanation of Bond's strange behavior.
Bond's brother-in-law William A. Thorpe, said this morning that the former appeared to be alright when he left here last Friday. Continuing he said:
"Bond was employed by me when I was in fish business in Winsted several years ago and when I came to New Haven, he came with me. He has for several years worked for J. Smith & Son. He is a first rate fellow and liked by all his associates. Of late there was not been much business for him here and so he started out last Friday in search of work. He was probably short of money and not finding any work in Bridgeport, I imagine he walked all the way to Winsted. When he turned up at his brother's home he was apparently out of his head. He undoubtedly was much discourage because he had no work. Being unused to so long a tramp, the severe fatigue, "together with his worriment, undoubtedly turned his head. He has a wife and four children at Oyster Point."

SANDBAGGED
Lies in an Unconscious State - A New Haven Man - A mysterious Case
WINSTED May 12 Fritz Henry Bond, a brother of William Bond of Winsted, and who a number of years past has resided in New Haven, was found in a dazed condition in front of the door of his brothers residence on Lake Street between 6 and 7 o'clock yesterday morning. He was unable to give any account of himself and only at intervals was able to realize where he was. Dr. Binwell was called and after an examination gave it as his opinion that the man had ben sandbagged. How the man got to Winsted or where he was when he received his injuries is a mystery. All day Wednesday he lay in a semi-unconscious condition, but at times seemed to have an indistinct recollection of having been beat by two men. Further than this he is able to give no account of himself. Up to yesterday afternoon he was still in an unconscious state. He has during his residence in New Haven done more or less work as a private detective, and is barely possible that he may have met with violence from some persons whom he was shadowing. At any rate it is a mystery how he reached Winsted. No one seems to remember having seen him on the train or nothing can be learned regarding his wandering. He has a wife and family in New Haven. Dr. Welch thinks he will soon recover and possibly he may then be able to shed some light on the mystery.
Mr. Bond is thirty five years of age and for some years has been in the employ of Smith Sons, wholesale oyster dealers and oyster growers of Oyster Point, New Haven. Last week Thursday night he went o Bridgeport on business for the firm and his movements are known up to Friday night, since which no trace of him is obtainable until sudden appearance at his father's house as told able. Below the left ear at the base of the brain there is a bruise several inches in length, evidently made by a sandbag. It is thought, from the facts that all day and part of the night he raved about two men, and occasionally cried out, "don't let them strike me," that he has been sandbagged and robbed. It is possible that concussion of the brain has followed a blow from the sandbag. He is easier and did not rave so much this morning, but was, as stated above, still unconscious.
Telegrams were sent to his wife and a letter written to his employers. Mrs. Bond was expected on the noon train. at present the above is all that is known. The chances are that a dastardly crime has in this case been committed.

SANDBAGGED
Lies in an Unconscious State - A New Haven Man - A mysterious Case
WINSTED May 12 Fritz Henry Bond, a brother of William Bond of Winsted, and who a number of years past has resided in New Haven, was found in a dazed condition in front of the door of his brothers residence on Lake Street between 6 and 7 o'clock yesterday morning. He was unable to give any account of himself and only at intervals was able to realize where he was. Dr. Binwell was called and after an examination gave it as his opinion that the man had ben sandbagged. How the man got to Winsted or where he was when he received his injuries is a mystery. All day Wednesday he lay in a semi-unconscious condition, but at times seemed to have an indistinct recollection of having been beat by two men. Further than this he is able to give no account of himself. Up to yesterday afternoon he was still in an unconscious state. He has during his residence in New Haven done more or less work as a private detective, and is barely possible that he may have met with violence from some persons whom he was shadowing. At any rate it is a mystery how he reached Winsted. No one seems to remember having seen him on the train or nothing can be learned regarding his wandering. He has a wife and family in New Haven. Dr. Welch thinks he will soon recover and possibly he may then be able to shed some light on the mystery.
Mr. Bond is thirty five years of age and for some years has been in the employ of Smith Sons, wholesale oyster dealers and oyster growers of Oyster Point, New Haven. Last week Thursday night he went o Bridgeport on business for the firm and his movements are known up to Friday night, since which no trace of him is obtainable until sudden appearance at his father's house as told able. Below the left ear at the base of the brain there is a bruise several inches in length, evidently made by a sandbag. It is thought, from the facts that all day and part of the night he raved about two men, and occasionally cried out, "don't let them strike me," that he has been sandbagged and robbed. It is possible that concussion of the brain has followed a blow from the sandbag. He is easier and did not rave so much this morning, but was, as stated above, still unconscious.
Telegrams were sent to his wife and a letter written to his employers. Mrs. Bond was expected on the noon train. at present the above is all that is known. The chances are that a dastardly crime has in this case been committed.
