ST. ALBANs TRUST co.
What The Safe Attorney Thinks About
the Matter.

ST. ALBANs, VT. Sept g.
The State attorney who conducted the IN
vestigation Of the Trust COMPANY affairs be-
fore the grand jury says be shall move for
a new trial of the indicted president and
directors at the present term Of court. II IL
not impossible that the counsel for some OF
accused will file demurrers to the indicf-
mests. on the ground that the provisions OF
the charter of the st. Adams Trust Co were
abrogated and annulled by subsequent legisla-
ton and the general laws passed relating to
savings banks and trust companies. The
indictments were based on sections OF the
trust company's charter. They should be
made directly or indirectly TO any director
or officer employee of said corporation,
that any president. director other officer
of said corporation who shall mi-apply or
divert money, funds or other trn-t property
from the purposes and the ohlrt' prescribed
by the act, or who shall participate in such
missapplication or diversion. shall. on con-
viction, be punished by imprisonment not to
exceed FIVE years and be fined not to exceed
$1,000. or either of said punishments, Only
one indictment was presented against Her
bert Brainerd and A. c. Rrainerd, the grand
jury finding that while acting as directors they
had borrowed $1,000 each on memorandum
checks. Porter Brainerd was indicted for
effecting loan of SIS 900, and Chas. Wyman
for borrowing $1,000. The grand jury failed
to find any ground for ipdicting Herbert
Burgess, treasurer of the trust company.
Herbert Brainerd has had no connection with
the trust company since 1881, having resigned
as director that year.
1t is authOratively stated that the Norwood
Lumber Co.. which was run almost entirely
by Lawrence, president of the St. Adams
Trust Co., owes the latter corporation some
three or four hundred thousand dollars OF
which very little can be paid.

SUICIDE OF A BROKER.
Misfortune in Cotton Speculation the
Cause.

BosToN, Sept. %.
September 4th Frederick p. jenkins,
well known cotton broker in Boston, hired
room at the fremont House during the day,
sent for and took four bottles of certain
patent medicine containing large proper
ton of opium. He was found nearly lifeless
and died on the sixth. Inquiry was began
into his affairs and the first discovery was
that note which had been negotiated some
time for $500 and due on the day of his
death was a forgery. Other forgeries were
discovered in rapid succession, and it was
found he had appropriated and squandered
$4,000 in cash which had been intrusted to his
guardianship by an elderly female relative.
The signature on the forged note, T. X.
Wakefield of Oakdale, was also appended to
another note for S4400. Besides these it was
ascertained that he also negotiated for note
of $4,000, bearing the forged signature of o.
Blaisdell, Jr., Co. of Holyoke. and another
for $1,000 bearing the signature of Wm r.
Potter of Taunton. The aggregate fraudu-
lent paper amounted to Sl3, 900. Misfortune
in cotton speculation is undoubtedly the
cause.

Republican Rally at City Hall, Spring.

Rice and Candidate Rob.
inSOn.

sSPRISGFlELD, Mass, Sept. %
Congressman Rice aud candidate Robin
son were the principal speakers at the repub-
lican rally at City Hall tonight Mr.. Robin
son spoke three-quarfers of an hour and was
frequently interrupted. recalling his address
in the same hall, and the results of the subse-
Quept election.
He said that the people were angry with
the republican party because of the extrava-
CANT appropriations by Congress. and its fail
ure to do certain things they wanted done.
He thought there was then more ground for
their feeling, but now all was chaA ged- The
man elected governor had beaped dishonor
upon the commonw ealth. and the people had
learned thut his selfish ambition, which car
ried him from party, controlled all his policy.
The support of this ambition, he said. is the
only issue that the dc mocratic party present.
On the temperance question he said, from my
boyhood up, have never known anything
but to let intoxicating liquors alone. and
have never found any difficulty in practicing
this at home and when away for pleasure or
on business. There is enough for me in Gods
good air and water to furnish all the stimu-
lants | want. Massachusetts has had many
experiments in liquor legislation, but be-
lieve that the present local option law Is all
that the people will enforce, and law that
the people will not enforce is of little effect
in any State.
Mr. Robinson contrasted sharply the reform
pretensions of the democratic platform with
their undisguised greedness for spoils, point
ing to the fate of democratic refOrmers in
New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. He
criticised Butler for condemning the State
institutions that he had never visited, and
said that the welfare of the State should be
the first consideration of any party.

The Expected Comet of 1912.

BosTON, Sept %.
From observations at Harvard College OBJ
servatory of the expected comet of 1872 it
appears to have experienced an extraordinary
outbarst of light within the last "a hours,
amounting, according to Mr.. Chambers es-
Inmates, to an increase of six or eight times
it previous brilliancy. The general aspect
also of the comet has entirely changed from
dtfuse nebulosity with ii faint nucleus and
has suddenly become a starlike object. Both
Messrs. Searle and Chandler recognize a
faint short brush of light towards the east
apparently indicating the formation of tail.
Positions taken up tonight fully confirm
Father Searle's hypothesis of the identity of
Brooks comet with that of 1913, and there
is now no possible doubt on the subject.
PHELPS, N. Y, Sept. %.
The new Brooks comet is now demon
strated to be the long expected comet of 1872.
1t is now visible in good telescopes of mod
crate aperature near Eta Dracens. 1t is
