sapling near which the garment was ly-
ing. Rose could not say whe her the
child was buried in large open lot OF IN
a small open space among the trees. She
could describe it only as IL place where
there were no trees SO far as she could
remember. She was positive that she
covered the child with brush, but
whether it was spruce or small branches
from other trees she could not say.
Neither could she tell how much of the
brush she had used She had simply piled
it on until the body was hidden from
her sight, And then the snow had come
and covered with it's white mantle what
little evidence there might have been Of
the baby's resting place. So through big
clearings covered with brush he searchers
went, probing with poles the hollo VS.,
where they cold find them beneath the
snow, and pulling apart piles OF brush.
Then in despair they turned to little
openings in the trees which could hardly
be described as "open spaces' and these
were ransacked in the same way. Noon
came and the sun was low in the west
before the
GOLD AND HUNGRY MEN
gave it up. The search had been as care
full as they could make it, but even then
they may have passed within foot of
the spot where the body lies hidden by
the snow, or they may not have gone
within rods of the place, for Roses de-
scription of it is too vague and she wan
dered so far that 1T is only a matter of
conjecture in which part of the woods
it is. All told, Rose must have wan
dered from three to five miles in Leigh
toms woods. The officers had hoped to
have put a fox hound on the trail, but
the dog they hoped to procure, at the last
moment, went on fox hunt and wa
covering the body, which must be solidly
frozen, 1T is doubted whether the dog
would find it, Still, the experiment will
probably be tried.
The manner of conducting the search
has shown several things One is that
Rose has confessed; another is that she
told of buIying the body in the manner
described; another is that she made
statment to the officers which leads them
to believe that the chi d was alive when
it was taken from the carriage.
inst how the child met it's death is
matter of speculation. The deputies
and their helpers worked hard yesterday
and the fact that they did not find the
body is not due to any lack Of effort on
their part Had it been the body OF
man for which they We're looking for,
there would of course have been some
thing about the shape and size of pile
of brush to furnish clue, but Rose Dol
ly's child may be lying under covering
of brush so thin as not to more than fill
the hollow in which she put it above the
level Of the surrounding ground.
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER IN THE
MUNICIPAL COURT.
Yesterday morning the Municipal Court
room was crowded with people curious to
catch glimpse of Rose Dolley, the un-
fortunate Windham girl, who was to be
arraigned before Judge Robinson, charged
with the murder of her child.
After the usual business of the court
was disposed of Rose Dolley was led in
supported by Marshal Trickey and &C
companied by Mrs. ssMoore, the police mat
ron. She held her handkerchief to her
eyes and was plainly unable to suppress
her tears and sObs.
tanned any counsel and County Attorney
True replied that he did not know.
Sheriff Plummer asked the respondant and
she gasped, ietween her sobs, that her
brother Warren should be consulted in
regard to the matter. 1t appearing that
no counsel had been retained, Judge
Robinson appointed William r. Anthoine
Esq, Ito act as Rose Dolley's counsel
Mr.. Anthoine was present and consulted
with County Attorney True. The latter
soon stated to the Court that since Mr..
Anthoine had had no chance to confer
with the respondent he desired that the
hearing should not only be postponed till
Saturday, but that there should be no
arraignment till then.
Judge Robinson s.declared the hearing
adjourned till Saturday morning and
held the respondent without bail Her
brother Warren Dolley was held as a ma
terial witness.
Rose Dolley was then removed from the
court room and her mother was brought
in. The latter was dressed in heavy
mourning. Her careworn and wrinkled
face was calm and sad. She is very
small woman, short and thin and there
is a good deal Of frmness about her large
mouth and thin lips.
County Attorney True said that Ellen
Dolley was charged with being an access
ory before the fact and that the penalty
was tho same as that for the deed itself.
Considering the gravity of the charge, he
was unwilling to move even an arraign
ment until it was ascertained whether
Mrs. Dolley had counsel or not.
Sheriff Plummer consulted with Mrs.
Dolley for some little time and then an
nounced to the court that he was unable
to get ANYTHING definite from her IN re-
The following conversation then took
place between Judge Robinson and Mrs.
Dolley:
Have you counsel?'
NO sir"
"Do you wish counsel?"
= Well, suppose I've got to have one.
| don't know anything about it.
''Ihe law allows you counsel IT you
cannot provide such for yourself.
81 wish to have counsel hen, sir. -
ct will appoint William R. Anthoine,"
said Judge Robinson.
The hearing for Mrs. Dolley was also
postponed till Saturday morning.
Rose DolleY sobbed during the entire
time that she was in the court. Her face
was SO red and swollen with crying that
her real appearance was good deal dis
guised. But she looks as if rather below
the average intelligence. She is much
larger than her mother. She was we'll
dresse and wore thick and rather stylish
winter jacket.
