The weston Infauticide.

Editor Rutland GIoJe-In the case of
Charles Clifford Heselton, of Weston, who
is now confined in Woodstock jail, it is but
justice to him an his family, and his sor-
rowing wife and her friends, to say that
there Is dcvlded opinion in the commun-
ity and many believe him entirely innocent
of any crime
From the evidence, as given before JUS
tce Cragin, what part, or by whom, was
there any testimony given that shows Cliff
ford, the father, guilty of crime. We
look in vain for the first principle govern
ing the evidence in criminal proceedings
necessary to conviction. There was not
one word by any wtHess upon the stand,
giving, or in any manner showing, the mo-
tive or inducement for the committing of
the crime by the respondent
On the contrary there was clear and I'M
deniable proof that Clifford Heselton was
void of any composition in his nature capa-
BILE of committing any such act. There was
| nc more testimony given in the case to war
| rant the committing of the father to jail
| than the mother, for there was only that
against either, unless being poor is to be
taken as evidence of ability and disposition
to commit a high crime. We should most
earnestly object to this beng incorporated
WITH and adopted in our practice in crimi-
nal prosecutions in our state. One of
the examining surgeons testified that the
wound nnlil1 ha hnap mazda hx on onni
dent, the same manner as the respondent
| and his wife say it must have happened, if
| the wound was made by any sharp instru-
| ment and he further says there was such
| an appearance that it might have happened
by coming in contact with the point of the
shears. The mother stated that she heard
the shears rattle, or make a noise, as
though hit by something, when the child
lay i'll bed anu was near the shears. "IIow
| it came there and, that too without the
knowledge of either of the paren. was the
all important question" There was no
| testimony, but rumor had it that the father
had made threats" The above extracts are
from report in The GLOBE of Goth ult.,
and it shows to us, that runlOr was the
| test upon which Clifford Heselton was
| taken from bis sick family and confined in
| Jail Did the justice say, in his decision,
| that he hoped when the trial commenced
that the respondent would have been able to
| have proved himself innocent of the charge
made against him In what elementary
| treatise can there be found that respond
ent, when charged of crime, mot proved
to have committed crime as charged) is
to be taken as guilty unless he proves him
| self innocent
If Clifford Hesselton had been charged
with imprudence in not calling in assist
ance on such an occasion, then the testi-
mony would have convicted him of the
charge, but imprudence and lack of COM
| plying with custom in such decisions are
not criminal and will not support charge
of murder.
The great excitement and the cause of it,
rumor, has greatly subsidized, and given
| place to sober. second thought.

The TiltOn-Beecher Trial.
HENRY WARD BEEcHEE's TESTIMONY.


New YORK, April 8.
Judge Nelson was prompt in his at
tendance at the trial this morning, and the
usual large crowd of spectators filled the
courtroom The jury and counsel were
also promptly on time. The defendant
resumed the witness stand. About fifteen
minutes in opening were spent by counsel
for the defense in consultation. Mr..
Evarts then rose and said that it would be
better that Mr.. Cleveland's further exami-
nation should be deferred until he would
have Il short stay in the country, when,
perhaps, he would be so far recovered as
to attend at court for further examination,
or it might be conducted as before. The
judge and plaintiffs counsel concurred in
this suggestion. Witness then testified:

him to the Eagle Office and had a
conference with Mr.. Kinsella, about it;

Mr.. Moulton at his counting house in New
York. Mr.. McKelway went with me and
we had some conversation about 1t when
his business was over and we were going

he should treat the publication with COM

there was an effort to reopen the matter as
to whether some publication should be
made but there was nothing done and we
adhered to our original purpose, to let the
thing die.

DR.. burners Lecture On.the Heart
and Lungs.

The house was better than on the previ-
Gus night. The Doctor began by exhibit
ing model of the lungs. The left lung
has two lobes while the right has three.
The right lung is the largest and most used.
The left and right sides of the heart are
separated by membranes, and also the up
per and lower parts, thus making four
separate cavities. The blood goes from
the right side of the heart to the lungs
and becomes purified, and from the lungs
to left side of the heart an is given out to
the system. The richest blood goes to
feed the heart itself, the next to the brain
and next best to the arms.
The heart Is liable to become diseased,
but this is not common. The most com
mon disease of the heart is rheumatism,
which can be cured only by purifying the
system. Palpitation of the heart is not
dangerous if not neglected AMI allowed to
grow into something worse. The air pas
sage to the lungs starts at the nostrils and
decreases in size from the larynx down
ward.
II is unsafe to breathe through the
mouth in the cold air, as the air does not
get warm before 1t reaches the mucus mem
brane in the throat. The hairs in the nos
tril are to prevent dust reaching the lungs.

Rhode Island-NO Election for Gov
ernOr.
PROVIDENCE, II. l., April Z

PROVIDENCE, r. l., April T.
The state election occurred to-day.
The question of the repeal of the prohibi-
tory law partially broke up political par
ties, and renders the classification of the
asscmblymen impossible. There is no
election of governor or lieutenant govern
or, but the remainder of the republican
state tickle. is elected by a very large ma
jorlty, the largest ever given in this state,
with three wards and three towns to hear
from. Henry Lippitt, regular republican,
supported by the liquor dealerns league for
governor, has 1904 votes. Rowland Haz-
ard, Independent republican, supported by
prohibitionists has 1860, and &. Il. Cutler,
democrat, 1916. In this city only three OF
thirteen assemblymen are elected and they
were run on the regular republican and
democratic tickets Whether Lippitt or
Hazard shall be elected will probably de-
pend upon the result of the subsequent
election of assembymen in this city and
Warwick, where also there was no choice.

municipal Indebtedness

Mr. Pierce of Milton, on Monday re-
ported to the Massachusetts, legislature a
bill from the committee on the judiciary,
relative to municipal Indebtedness. The
bill is one of the most important measures
which has been brought to the attention of
the legislature during the session. The
alarming increase of the Indebtedness of
towns and cities throughout the common
wealth, the heedlessness with which NUM-
cipalities enter on projects involving large
sums of money, and the ability of unscrup-
ulous demagouges to WELD the power of
ignorant majorities to the injury of indus
trious and prudent citizens, have lorg been
viewed with alarm by thoughtful observers.
The bill has been drawn with great care,
and its provisions will, in the main, be
commended by persons ''who," as the En-
glish phrase goes, shave stake in the
country"

Resoired That skins with more than two holes

Mr.. Hobart was questioned by the MEM
bers in regard to the Wescott method of
tanning aud currying, and also in regard tt,
the question of the difference in price OF
skins finished from the vat and those fin
ished from the rough, which was generally
considered to be in favor of the former. Mr..
Hobart further recommended that the sub
ject of giving extra price for pulled skins
be considered at their next meeting, as in
