and 1t Is only by the strong efforts OF law
abiding citizens that La Plant, the murderer
OF HIS grandchildren, has not already been
summarily dealt with. The officers keep the
closest watch lest a mob should force an en-
trance to the jail. La Plant cries constantly
"0h, why did l do it," He starts at the
slightest noise for fear that some harm will
reach him. He admits that rum was the
cause OF these ugly fits. as he terms them,
and repeatedly calls upon the Almighty fer
vengeance upon those who have sold him
liquor during his life. such is the feeling
among the most prominent citizens who have
visited the jail that should sufficient evidence
be given as TO where he got the liquor before
the murder they would strenuously demand
a rigid enforcement OF the law.
The preliminary trial came OF at O'Clock
this afternoon. The prisoner pleaded not
guilty. Counsel for La Plant are Smith e
Sloan OF Wells River, and Hon. l. w. Drew
Of Lancaster. Calvin Prescott testified that
he found the respondent with hammer in

had considerable trouble wrestling Ii from
him, but finally got the hammer away with

among his children TO kill him. He exclaimed
"If they kill me. kill them" Witness
asked La Plant II he was sorry, and he
answered no.
The case was continued until tomorrow.
