through the newspapers and biz posters.
The old excursions were more acceptable
to the public generally than the county-scat
affairs of the present day. The Pcrhm

their patrons about half-fare terms and in

The North Hoosick Outrage...Green's
Case.

Troy, Dco 9.
The Troy Times of this evening says
The grand jury have finished the investiga-
tion of the death Of Mrs. Shay at the state
line. The lawyers, who have examined
the evidence, are inclined to the opinion
that Green cannot legally be indicted for
murder or any Of the degrees OF man
slaughter. The woman died from eXhaus-
ton and exposure there were no marks
on her person showing that Green had
killed her by wounding or manning her.
The injuries which he inflicted were not
sufficient in themselves to cause death. If,
after Green had left her, the woman had
been found and removed to place Of shell
ter she would have survived. The physi-
clans who made the post mortcm examine
ton assert that there were no marks show
ing that Green had accomplished his foul
purpose Were it not for the fact that in
addition to his after crimes Green is a To-
quacious fellow, it is doubtful if he could
be indicted for any crime. As it is his
sworn confession furnishes evidence sufl-
cient to convict hun of an attempted out
rage. Evidently this fellow was not born
