The examination into the death of
Mrs. Harriet Gaudette of Winooski
in consequence of an abortion produc-
ed at Rutland three weeks ago, began
at Rutland Tuesday of last week and
was continued next day. No new
facts of Importance were elected, and
it is said to be doubtful if there will
ever be sufficient evidence to decide
whether the abortion was produced by
Mrs. Gaudette herself or by Drs.
Haynes and Chase, who attended her.
DR.. Haynes asserts that the charge is
conspiracy against him, and the main
object of the defense will probably be
to break down the testimony of Mrs.
Julia Mcclellan, who asserts that she
witnessed some significant movements
on the part of DR.. Haynes in the sick
woman's chamber from the window OF
her tenement opposite. The testimo-
ny of the husband, Maxine Gaudette
revealed no such domestic unhappiness
as was asserted by the victims moth
er, Mrs. Titus.
