BRUTAL MURDER.
A Farmer Shoots His Wife and At.

A Farmer Shoots His Wife and At
tempts Suicide.
EAST PEPPERELL, Mass, Sept. Pep
perell was startled to-day by brutal muir
der and attempt at suicide. At 4:3O this
morning William Lively, farmer at the
North Village, ran to the house of Neigh
Dor Baker aud told him to come to his
house at once as his wife was sick. Baker
is an old man and did not wish to 60 80
early, so he sent Evelyn Greenlaw, a girl
stopping at his house. She went to the
house before Lively got back and saw Mrs.
Francena Lively, the farmers wife, lying
on the floor. She went for help and re-
turning found Lively himself on the door
step with revolver near by. His wife had
hole in the back of her head from which
the brains oozed. She died soon after.
Lively had a ragged wound behind his
right ear. Drs. Lovejoy and Herald were
summoned and pronounced the chances
for Lively's recovery or death about even.
Lively is thirty eight years old and his
wife was about thirty-seven. She was a
native of Pepperell, being a daughter of
Calvin Robbins. Lively Is Nova Scotian
and has been in Pepperell about ten years.
The couple were hard working people and
Lively had the reputation of being close.
listed. He was known to drink cider par
ticularly hard and his wife had reproached
him for it.
It is thought by Chief of Police Goggin,
who is handling the case, that Mrs. Lively
reproached hsr husband for drinking,
whereupon Lively turned and shot her.
She was evidently standing at the sink
working when shot. Lively is unoonsci,
GUS and in charge of Chief Goggin. Medi.

The Famous Case Reopened-Argued
for a Dlsmissal-A Speedy Con-
cluslon Insisted Upon.
LAWRENCE, Mass, Sept. AT the re-
opening of the famous Andover case at
Andover this forenoon Professor Smythe's
counsel moved for dismissal, because the
case had once been decided, and by the
supreme court, and that the decision was
in Professor Smythe's favor. Judge Bishop,
of the board of trustees, argued for Q dis
missal of the case, claiming that it should
first come before the trustees, or that the
trustees should first be heard.
ANDovER, Mass, Sept. All but three
of the twelve trustees were present, also
all three of the visitors. Professor Smythe
was represented by Simeon E. Baldwin of
Yale university and also took part in the
Rev. DIR. Wellman and Rev. n. R. Lam
phear, conducted their side of the case
without legal counsel. Judge r. R. Bishop,
q trustee, and Rev. DR.. Fiske, chairman of
the board, and Rev. DR.. Vose of Provi-
dence, trustee, presented the view of
that body. The arguments against re-
opening the case was as follows:
First-That the supreme court had de-
cided that the judgment against Professor
Smythe was null and void and had not re-
mitted the case for a new trial; wherefore
no new trial could be legally had.
Second-That the compliments appear
ing as private individuals had no legal
standing.
Third-That the case could only come
before the visitors in one of two ways
either by their own original action or by
appeal from a decision of the trustees.
Fourth-That the case, being now nearly
seven years old, is "stale."
Fifth-That the trustees and Professor
Smythe would welcome an inventory by
the visitors if they saw fit to make it of
their own volition and If it related to ex-
listing conditions.
The argument of the compliments was
that the legal points raised ought to be
swept aside, and that nothing had occurred
in these six years or more to change thsir
belief in Professor Smythe's heterodoxy.
The trustees and Professor Smythe in
sisted that the whole should be brought to
speedy conclusion, but the compliments
said they were not ready TO 60 on and
asked for q delay of at least several weeks.
However, the visitors decided to have q
final hearing next Tuesday morning at
1O:45, at which time the question of q new
trial will be decided, and If ordered the
trial will proceed at once.
