State VS. q. o. Taylor and J. O'Donald.
These respondents were indicted, charged
with having committed ian assault armed
with dangerous weapon" upon Paul
Tink nam, Epnraim Hoyt, Edgar L. Mar
tin and Frank W. Balstos, all OF Roches-
ter, on the 2yth day OF last November in
the town OF Rochester, with intent to kill
those named. The testimony OF the state
tended to show that Iinkham was then
constable OF Rochester and was acting as
such AT the time. During the middle OF
the day in question-Thanksgiving Day
he received telephone message from an
officer at Brandon saying that on the pre-
cedlng night the postotfice at Ticondero-
ga had been bul glarized and property TAX
en-, and tina: the suspected parties were
on their way over the mountain from For
estdale to Rochester, and to intercept
them.
He obtained assistance and started to
meet the suspected burglars, and soon met
them two or three miles from Rochester
village coming from Brandon directlon.
Tiuk ham then attempted to arrest the re-
spondents and their two companions. Both
parties were armed with revolvers which
were freely used, but in the end, Tinkham
and his party were successful and the par
ty was captured and taken to nearby
dwelling house. The respondents on trial
both fired their revolvers, Taylor at Ilnk-
ham twice, one OF the bullets lodging IN
his clothes, and O'Donald at Martin, max
ing a scratch wound in his face aud one
bullet going through his left hand.
The defence was that the officers did not
make known their authority to the prls-
oners and hence the resistance.
| The state introduced evidence tending
| to show the burglary at the postofflce at
Ticonderoga also that a package OF stamps
and bonds were found on highway over
which they had travelled, and further,
stamps were found in the possession OF re-
spondent Taylor. The jury found the re.
| spondent guilty, as charged, OF an assault
TO kin and murder Thomas w. Maloney
