WATCHMAN JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY TO- 1877


The Jury Calendar stands firm, and bids fair to
last till the twentieth, when Judge Redfed must
leave to attend the opening of the Addison Coun-
ty Supreme Court on the twenty second.
CRIMINAL BUSINESS.
Part OF Wednesday and the whole of Thursday
was occupied with the criminal docket. The first
case tried was an indictment against William II.
Arnold, now OF Tunbridge, but formerly Of Ran
dolph, charging the respondent with having, ON
the eleventh Of June last committed adultery with
Mrs Rosanna Whitney, n woman of twenty-one,
who had been an inmate of Arnolds family for
several years, and who, on the preceding March,
had been married to James I. Whitney, n young
farmer in Tunbridge. The chief witnesses for the
state were two boys named George Allen and
Frank X. Porter, who testified that on the day In
question, n Sunday afternoon, they watched the
two and witnessed the act in Whitneys orchard,
and soon after Whitney had left them TO carry
home a gobbcr which had strayed away. The
boys stories did not agree in some important par
tculars and was denied point blank by Arnold
and the woman. Whitney himself, who is not
over bright also testified in their behalf and had
it not been for testimony introduced by the state
tending to show criminality previous to the
womans marriage, and the testimony Of several
impeaching witnesses as 10 Arnolds reputation
for TRUTH conviction would not have been OBJ
tanned, Mr.. D. Il. Rogers, the states attorney,
conducted the prosecution and Arnold was de-
Tended by Messrs. c. w. Clarke and K. NJ. Harvey
Patrick Murre was tried and acquitted on an
indictment charging him with assaulting with
two pistols with intent to kill Il. NJ. Harvey and
Merrill F. Sargent Of Corinth on the sixth OF last
March. Another indictment charging Pat with
assault and battery upon his wife, was not pressed
Joseph Abbott charged with breaking and en-
terng the store Of William d. Martin, in Chelsea,
on the night OF November 81 1876, and stealing
some nickels, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced
to three years in the state prison

The Wcathersfleld Murder.

The trial OF Henry Gravlin, for the alleged muir
der OF Herbert q. White, In October last, was be-
gun at Woodstock, on Wednesday Of last week.
Chief-Justicc Pierpont presiding. The case is
prosecuted by States Attorney Norman Paul, and
W. II. Walker, of Ludlow, and defended by
Messrs. administer and Batclelder, of Windsor;
John 7. Dean of Cayendish, and Chas. N. Daven-
port, OF Brattleboro The evidence on the part OF
the state seems to have been Of most conclusive
character, and the trial can hardly fail to result
in the conviction of Gnvlin for murder. 1t seems
that through the consent and cooperation of the
jaior, outside parties were permitted to visit aud
sleep with the prisoner, thus gaining his conf
dence, and maturing plans for his escape-for
which he not only paid over some money but
promised large sums in addition. Not only this,
but he confessed to this friend 10 the killing Of
White, though he alleged that the fatal blows
were struck by one Carpenter, neighbor and
confederate OF his, while he (Gravlin) held the
victim, and that between them the body was Sc
creted lie also stipulated for putting Carpenter
out Of the ,coy, apprehendng that he was going
to turn states evidence Among other considera-
lions for the services Of this friend Grayln gave
