THE NEWFANE MURDER TRIAL.
Dodge Acquitted-Mauy Mysterious Cir
cumstances with the Case.

BELLOWS FALLS, Oct. 3.-TEe trial OF
Frank II. Dodge, charged with the muir
der of Genevra * -app. pos:mistress at
Dummerston, August 3lst, which com
menCed last week Thursday before Judge
Neazey, in Wndhanl County Court, WAS
concluded to day, resulting IN the acquit-
tai of the espondent. 1t will be remem-
bered that Miss Knapp was found sitting
III chair in her Office dead with marks
indicating violence. The evidence con-
Meeting Dodge was purely circumstdntial,
aud the defence made h strong point that
the autopsy made week after death was
wholly unreliable, rs showing any viO-
.ence other than might have been caused
by failing, from the effect of disease, as
the autopsy showed that her left lung was
entirely destroyed by tubercular consump-
ton. There WAS Il diversity of opinion
by the medical experts, some claiming
death was due to violence, Others that the
| evidence of violence was due TO pOst-mOr
tenn changes, and still others that con-
| sumption was the exciting cause. A large
! amount of other testimony was gwen,
but the case hinged wholly on the medical
testimony above.
Monday, Lawyer Hit of Brattleboro ties
| titled most of the forenoon, taking up the
evidence given at the preliminary hearing
| by Ora and Rose Knapp, brother and sis
ter of the pcstmlstress, aud Wheeler
| Knapp, her cousin. He said Ora testified
that he and others looked for marks of
violence on the body before burial and
none were found That Rose SAID she
| found no marks upon GeneVrH's body eX
| cept one on her check, and one Oh her lift
| CidVicle that Rose bad All lsed her sister
| to 20 to BrattlebOrO and consult physi
! clan recently, and that she ndu better give
up the pustOtllce because of lll-bealtb
| That Wheeler Knapp had said he pa >ed
| by the poStL tfice about the time Doc ge
| was there and was given letter, by Gen
ezra, whom he recognized by her voice.
Nr. Hit said when ne first consulted this
man and asked HIM To testify at the pre-
! llmiudry hearing he was told that he some
times thought that he would clear the
matter all up and then believed he hau
better wait. This was subsequent to the
autopsy, and the witness then said Knapp
wanted to know what the doctors SAID.
! WheD pressed AS 10 the meaning of his
first remark, he gave MN no definite an
sWer, only stating more rs to Dpd4 e's posi-
| ton near the pustOtllce. AT the inquest
Wheeler Knapp was told in effect that If
he failed 10 convict Dodge, the murder
would come pretty near MIN, and at the
preliminary nearing Knapp said that they
seemed 10 thiuk he ought u conviCt
Dodge.

tiun We're made by kittredge Haskins

DIAGRAM ~ srRAwru8nY BED.

The ground being properly prepared,
the planting should be in straight rows,
nSing a line and may be done with Il dib-
be or 10y furrowing limo lightly with a
shovel or doubc mold board pillow, and
then drawing the earth in around the
plant, as it is placed, with the hands.
In extensive field culture the system OF
rows is thc most advantageous, and these
should be- about three and half feet
apart with plants one foot apart in the
row, to admit Of the passage OF the horse
shoe or cutivator between them.
CultiNatols differ in opinion and prac
tice as &. the arrangement of lants in
beds. In the cut here presented il shown
Il plan that affords great convenience in a
garden plantation and one that is much
employed. The ground is divided into
beds Of + feet wide, each of which may
contain three rows of plants, the two
outside rows 9 inches from the edge Of
the beds The plants may he set -
inches apart in the row, except in the
case of very strong growing plants when
Is inches aPGrt will be found preferable.
Thus, Il bed 20 feet long and feet wide
will contain from 40 to 60 plants. Where
there are several Of these beds, it will be
good plan to separate them by walks Of
2 feet in width.
The plants should lie of one seasons
growth, from the seed or runner. and
well rooted.

To the Editor of the Free Press:
| want to give those young yachtsmen
Of Burlington leaf out of my long eXper-
fence in small crafts, for 1t takes Just rs
good seamanship to handle a small craft
a it does ship. My first years at sea
were on the European trade in large ships
seldom seeing the water come on
deck unless in Il gale of wind, and the
first small vessel was ever in was smart
little schooner of about 100 tons | started
down Boston bay in a stiff Northwestern,
just good single reef breeze for a ship,
but the schoouer's lee scuppers and half
the bulwarKS We're under water wind on
the quarter. | went flying down to Cape
Cod, but the sea made a clean breach fore
and aft. | had got too far to leewaGd to
get into ProvinCetown, or | should have
anchored, and when the weather mOderat-
| ed got that schooner back to Boston, aud
myself back to chief mate OF ship. As
got under the lee of the Highlands, the
| water smoothed, and | hauled close in
/ shore, and hove overheard about 20 tons
/ { + granite blocks, which were on deck,
| but thought the decks were still too near
the water, and ! off matches, and hove
/ overheard all the stone there was, simply
!
auce of the cargo was bingham buckets
/ and fuIniture, which got damaged by salt
I water, aud put me INTO Il general salvage
| insurance, which was my first lesson OF
the kiud. Now that vessel could safely
| have taken all that cargo to New Orleans
| j. | had known how TO handle her. had
her loaded to the waters edge many Il
time down the Calf Of Mexico, and when
the news came down the river of General
Tnyiors beating Santa Anna at Bueua
| Vista, took he di-pa che, and news to
| New Orleans, beating other vessels toy II
| houCs, aud all because | had learned " hat
to do on a small craft. Alter that until
the breaking ont OF the war Of the reDel-
lion, | was Ill all kinds of briggs and pilot
boats, was engaged in rigging the North
err Light, one OF the first yachts built in
Boston, and, as an emplOYe in the navy,
had much 10 do with the small craft.
That yacht capa.Ziug the other day III bur
linGtOn bay, came near being q serious
hccllent, all through carelessuess or lg
npr5nCt, No boat or vessel should ne in
u conc ltlUlI 10 have her ballast suited
for We don't know what may happen in y
stlif breez- Oh the wiud The White
Wings, | think th&t was her name, shuwer
Sac W9a smart, and would have won tn,
race IL she had been rightly handled. i
takes nerve and pluck TO sail small
yacht like that, ana if she was mine
would haul her ont and fasten ballAS
enough 10 her keel 10 keep her on he
, legs. All these accidents happen through
care eSnCSs, aS Ell al sen as on Lax

On the subject of commercial fertilizers
for wheat Rural New Yorker gives tho
following advice: Buy of any we'll known
fertilizer firm a complete" fertilizer for
wheat, and state whether your soil is
light or sandy. DO not buy any incom-
plete fertilizer unless you have good
reason for believing that your soil does
not need n complete fertilizer. Probably
your land needs bone; probably it needs
potash; probably it needs nitrogen; but
It also probably needs all, in which case
any one alone will not pay. Sow it broad
cast before narrowing at the rate Of not
less than 800 pounds per acre

Seeding Land to Grass.

American Cutvator reports that those
who have tried tho method of seeding
their land TO grass in August or Scptcm-

made fine enough for seed bed.
