"MURDERIo

November, 1919, | read in the Rut
land, Vermont, Herald the follow
ing notice:
"MURDERn
HPrinters of newspapers through
out the United States are desired to
publish that Stephen Boorn, of Man
chester, in Vermont, is sentenced to
be executed for the murder of Rus
sell Colvin, who has been absent
about ten years. Any person who
can give any information of said
Colvin may save the life of the in
nocent, by making immediate COM
munication. Colvin is about five feet
FIVE inches high, light complexion,
light hair, blue eyes, and about for
ty years old. Manchester, Vermont,
November 26, 1870"
This communication was copied
very generally by newspapers, and
created great deal of interest. Be
fore describing events that followed,
let us 90 back to the year 1912, and
to the little town of Manchester, Ver-
mont.
Barney Boorn, an old man, had
two sons, Stephen and Jessie, and a
daughter, Sarah, wife of Russell
Colvin, half-crazed, half-witted day
laborer. They were bad lot-poor,
ignorant, and in doubtful repute for
honesty. Two miserable novels serv-
ed them for shelter, and a few acres
of pine baTens constituted all their
possessions. They raised few po-
tatoes and garden vegetables, and
eked out a scanty livelihood by days
works for the neighboring farmers.
In May, 1912, COlvin was at home.
In June he was missing. At first,
this occasioned no remark. He was
always a tramp. But this time he
did not come back. As weeks grew
into months, inquiries began to be
made among the neighbors about the
missing man. There are no tongues
for gossip like those which wag in a
Yankee village, One spoke to an
other. Excitement grew. Wonder,
like contagious disease, affected
everybody.
1t was known that there had long
existed between the old man and
boys, a grudge against Colvin; it
was in proof that the last time the
missing man was seen, he was at
work with the Boorns clearing stones
from field, and that a dispute was
going on; and Lewis Colvin, boy.
son of Russell-had stated thar ms
father had struck his uncle Stephen,
and that the other had returned the
blow. and that he, the boy, beoom-
ing frightened, ran away. Again,
MIR. Baldwin had heard Stephen
Boorn, in answer to an inquiry as to
where Colvin was, say, "He's gone to
hell, l hope"
is he dead, Stephenr pursued Mr..
Baldwin.

The "cheekieSt performance on
the part of tramp yet heard Of, is
reported from Hartford, where three
of that fraternity called at q house
the other day, armed With a raw
shad, which they said they had Just
caught, and begged leave to cook il
over the kitchen fire. The lady Of
tho house, glad to encourage their
unusual industry in catching the
fish, let them use tho fire, after
which they made o hearty meal and
departed. When the lady was 8
bout to prepare her own dinner and
went for q shad which she had lsid
away in cool place, she found It
not-the tramps had stolen It, and
without a suspicion she had let sEeG
cook it before her very eyes.
