\ Post-mortcm Examinations
AT the post-mortcm examination yester-
day of Edgar Hayes of Lyndonville. who
was shot 10y Walter iladley Monday night,
two balls were found to have pierced his
body. one passing through ms heart. The
trouble between the parties was the belief
which Hayes had that lIadley had been too
intimate with Mrs. Hayes and had some
thing to do with her leaving Hayes sew
eral months ago. States Attorney Mont
gomery sent IIadlcy to the st Johnsbury
Jail, and he will be arraigned there to-day
at Il. m. The pistol used by IIadley was
a selt-cocking 4i-Calibre, five shooter.
a southern Vermont Romance.
About six months ago, says the Rutland
Hcrntd, Rutland young man bought a
hat at one of the clothing stores. In the
lining of it he found IA note 1t was signed
III feminine hand and gave II description
of the writer who was in the employ of Il
hat factory in Connecticut, and requested
the purchaser of the hat to communicate
with her. The woman who placed the
note there evidently did it for a Joke, but
the young man wrote to her, and, receiv-
ing reply IL correspondence began be-
tween them, photographs We're exchanged,
pledges OF love and proposal of marriage
followed, without either of the parties
seeing each other. The young man will
leave this week for the home of his m
tended wife, to see her for the first time,
and on New Years day they are TO be
married.
