BACKGROUND OF CRIME.
WHO MUST ANSWER FOR AURORA
FLlNT'5 DEATH IN BARRE?
Her Body Exhumod for Medical Ex,miu-
alton, on Request of states Attorney
Stow, who claims to Have Absolute o
Proof of Criminal Guilt - History OF
Miss Fllnt's Sickness and Death.

BARRE, Aug. 15.-On the last day of
juno Aurora S. Flint, % years of age. was
Yves brought on cot from the Mary Fletch-
er hospital at Burlington, where she been
under treatment for two weeks, to the
Rivorsdo House on South Main street,
small hotel kept by the inyelid's sister,
Mrs. Ada l.. Smith. She was suffering
great pain from u large number of abscesses
aud was treated by DIR. Lance of Montpel-
ier and DR.. Joe W. Jackson of this town.
Monday, July 3 the young woman died and
on the 9th OF July tue boGy was buried in
the village cemetery. Gilbert Mann,
clothing merchant at West Randolph, from
which own the girl was taken to the hos
pital at Burlington, and by whom she was
employed, was hors on the day of the
funeral and, it is said, paid the undertaken S
expenses.
shortly after Miss Flnt's death, ugly ru-
mors us to the cause thereof began to be
heard in West Randolph. the subject was
invos tigatcd by George L. Stow, States Mt
| torney of Orange county, to tho extent that
| he sent to the selcctmen of Barre
Il request to have the body disinterred and
an examination made, stating that he had
| in his possession sufficient evidence to con
vince any body of intelligent citizens that
the indirect cause of the girls death was q
crimina operation performed in West Ran
! dolph three months before shs was brought
to Barre a permit for dsinterring the
body was sent here some days ago, but it
was not until last night that the signatures
of 10 justices OF the peace were secured.
Drs. a. p. Grinnell, dean OF the Burlng-
ton Medical college, and j. H. Linsley ar
rived hore last night to exhums tho body.
They reached here late in the night, being
joined by States Attorney Stowe, Dr.. E..
| n. Goss Of Chelsea aud Or. j. W. Jackson
of this city.
The body was exhumed at midnight and
given a rigid examination lasting three
hours. The physicians left town before
morning to avoid suspician, but it is re-
ported on the best OF authority that they
secured evidence sufficient to warrant the
arrest of q certain physician and leading
citizen of West Randolph for criminal mal
practice and probably manslaughter.
An nvestig cation shows that early in june
the young lady was taken Ill ct the home o.
a West Randolph citizen, and 1t is al egec
that an operation was performed which
caused her to be sent to the Mary Fletcher
hospital where she lay at the point of deatf
for Two weeks, when she was sent here ant
placed under the care of the above namec
physicians at Riverside Hotel
The affair has caused big sensation herr
and in West Randolph, iwhere the partie
implicated reside. There are indication
that the next term of Orange Count,
Court will see the author OF the crime anC
the one who accomplished the girls ruiz
brought to justice.

TIE STOWE DROWNING ACCIDENT


some Corrections in the Account of the
Drowning of Amo. Bisslow.
Owing to the rumors which always are
curront when any misfortune takes place,
the correspondent of the FREE Press was
unable to learn the exact truth as to the
death of Amos Bgeow. The true account
is as follows: Amos and Arthur Bigelow
and Arthur Robson went to Little river to
battle. Ali three Of the young men were
able to swim and Amos and Arthur Robson
were swimming in deep water and his
brother was on the bank. The boys saw
there was trouble with Amos aud asked if
he wanted help. He was unable to speak
and the two boys swan to him and did all
in their power to support him. He was
perfectly helpless and the weight was too
great for the boys. Still they clung to him
and all three went under the water, whsn
the body sank the last time. The
other two boys did not leave the
place but called for help, which
was near. The body sank in about eight
feet of water, and no one present bang
able to dive for it, three-fourths of an hour
passed before the body was recovered. The
cause Of the drowning can never be known,
but no physician has aver acknowledged
that hs had tie heart disease,
THE FUNERAL.
The funeral was held at the West Branch
church Monday, Aug. 7. The church was
tillai to Its utmost capacity and large
number were unable to gain admittance
The deceased was member OF
the choir and although the other
members wcrs N their places they were un-
able to render any music. The empty chair
was draped in mourning. Friends had
done oil in their power to show their sym
patty with the family and had arranged a
most profuse and beautiful display OF flowers
both at the church and the grave. AL
though the family are nearly overcome by
grief they would not fail to acknowledge
their gratitude to friends and neighbors for
aid and kindness in their sad atiliction.
TELEPHONE SERVICE.
| The absence at the funeral of the Oldest
! brother, Walter, was the cause of much
surprise aud anxiety on the part of rela-
| tives and neighbors, and the circumstan ces
are such as to warrant explanation. Wal
tor is in Burlington, aud works on the taft
ot this paper, and a message was sent &c
this Office stating that his brother was
drowned, but owing to the hurry of the op-
orator at Montpelier the boy who took the
message was not able to understand it, and
he could not get it repeated AS Bigeow
was out of the oity he did not know there
had been message sent until Sunday even
ing.
Sunday y. Blgelow attempted again tc
telephone at the Stowe office. The operator
at Stowe explained to the operator at Mont
pelier that they wanted to telephone tC
Walter Bigelow that his brother, Amos
was drowned and they wanted him to com'
home, but the operator would not call vi
Burlington, because be said the first mes
sage had been delivered. In this way Wal
ter did not know OF his brothers death unit
after the funeral. Perhaps the operator
feel that they did their duty, but is it jus
to show such discourtesy when called upor
to serve the public in such an emergency
