MIR. HEWLETT ANGRY.
He is Fined Today for Contempt of
Court.


Court.
Witnesses who have appeared in the
Police Court have often been obliged to ask
the projection of the court from state
ments and accusations made by attorneys,
and today one witness was given protection
by Judge Miller, who fined Mr.. Emanuel
NJ. Hewlett colored, $40 for contempt and
then permitted him to appear in cases
before he purged himself of the contempt.
A young man named William Carter
was charged with the theft of $50 from
Hezekiah S. Waple, in whose employ he
had been.
Mr.. Waple went on the stand as a wit
ness and related his story of the alleged
theft. which was decidedly against Carter,
and as he left the stand and started to-
ward seat Mr.. Hewlett. shaking his
finger at him, said: That's a deliberate
falsehcod, sir, and you know it,
Mr.. Mullowny, the prosecuting attorney,
said he felt 1t his duty to call upon the
court for protection for the witnesses He
repeated the language mentioned, which
Mr.. Hewlett denied having used.
Mr.. Mullowny insisted that he had used
the language, and a number of jurors who
appeared greatly incensed at the attack
made on Mr.. Waple arose and declared
that they heard the language repeated by
the prosecutor.
The court thereupon fined Mr.. Hewlett
SO for contempt and the case proceeded.
Carter was acquitted.
A few minutes later when Mr.. Hewlett
was defending another case he had another
tilt This time he objected to Mr.. Null
lowry asking an alleged leading question
and thinking the court was not giving his
objection the proper consideration, he an
nounced that he would take the matter In
his own hand.
When court was over the so fine was
paid, and Mr.. Hewlett explained to a Star
reporter that by taking the matter in his
own hands he means he will knock some
body down and then Fay for it.

Public Dahgcr.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
= 1 wish few words through the medium
OF your worthy paper. Our statute books
contain the following. "a law regulating
the practice of pharmacy in the District Of
Columbia" 1t distinctly says mo drug
store shall be conducted except under the
immediate care of registered pharmacist"
Congress, with the citizens of WASHINGTON
back OF them. realized the necessity of
some measure to insure the public protec-
ton when the dispensing of medicines and
physicians prescriptions were needed
This good, law is now practically dead and
buried, notwithstanding the fact that five
medical men are appointed by the Commits
sloners to see that the provisions Of this act
are carried out. A large number of the
drug stores of our city are continually left
IN charge Of mere boys in age and expert
ence. Is this right or safe?+ No. It is ex-
posing people to all the dangers of an
ignorant person in dispensing their medi-
cines. The doctor is liable to lave his pre-
lscriptions wrongly compoundedsthus endan-
gering the precious lives of his patients
write this asNna physieion in order that
1t may call attention to the danger that
besets the physician and general public.

About s O'Clock last Friday, Francis
Cannon, at work for Tom Bclanger on
the Packard farm, was found dead in the
barn cellar. He started out with anoth-
er man to do some moving, but went
b Jack to feed the hens. Going into the
barn cellar he was taken with fit and
fell forward, his face striking in some
mud, where he smothered to death. He
was about 20 years old.

"A piazza post in front ofH. l. Woods

out the sign. "P-A-LN- confound your

his hand from the post, together with a
good part Of the paint.
"A gun club Of eight members was or
ganized here a month ago and do trap
shooting every Wednesday and Saturday
evening. They are just beginning to get
the knack of bringing down the clay
pigeon as it springs into the air and they
expect soon to be able to do some fancy
shooting. Lyndonville has regular or
ganized gun club with fine range and a
large membership. The one just started
here may result in a similar organization.
Revolver, rife and shot gun contests
between the two would be interesting
sport.

Shattuck-rlorse.--The home of Rev.

the scene of a pretty wedding last Thurs
day evening, the 23d inst. The bride
was Emma D. Morse, third daughter of

Willard l. Shattuck, only son of Mrs.
Emma Shattuck, formerly of this place,
but now Of Maiden, Mass. A few friends
were present besides the members and
relatives of the family. The ceremony
was performed at S'oclock by the brides
father, assisted by her brother, Rev. c..
H. Morse of Brook6eld. The Methodist

impressveness of the service. The maid
of honor was Miss Flora E. Morse, and
the groom's best man Fred Bishop. Fol
lowing the ceremony refreshments were
served and a pleasant social hour was
spent. There were number of beautiful
anu Ndluapie lIlSsSuts, pSHtllnS lHe oSSd-

A BIG RALLY MONDAY NIGHT.
Marshall Way sentenced.-our

NldTSIldll way ocHlSHScu.-OuT dC-
count of the Way trial left the case with
the jury on Thursday night Of last week.
On Friday morning the jury came in
about o'clock and asked to have the
court repeat that part of his charge re-
lating to the degree of punishment. The
jury retired and about II o'clock brought
in verdict of guilty of murder in the
second degree" This verdict was de-
livered by Charles Choate of Barnet, the
foreman of the jury. The court then dis
missed the jury, thanking them for their
arduous abors.
Attorney Bates then addressed the
court and asked that the prisoner be sent
to the Waterbury Asylum instead of
state prison, as the time was soon COM
ing when he would have to be kept in an
insane asylum. Chief Judge Ross said
the statutes gave no discretion in this
matter, and he then sentenced Marshall
Way to the state prison at ViDaSaS to
hard labor for the rest of his nattfs ie.
Sheriff Suloway took the prisoner to
Windsor Saturday. Mr.. Way conversed
some after the trial and said that he ex-
pected to be hung for his crime.
This ends remarkable murder trial
and we think that the verdict of the jury
meets with general satisfaction. While
his crime deserved to be punished by
hanging it was difficult to prove pre-
meditated murder and Imprisonment for
lite is more punishment for Mr.. Way than
hanging would be- Chief Judge Ross
presided with excellent fairness and his
charge to the jury was one of the clearest
statements of law that has ever been
heard in our court. The pleas Of the
lawyers were listened to by crowds OF i'll
terested spectators and when Lawyer
Stafford gave his eloquent plea the court
room was crowded as it has never been
before. Throughout the whole trial
there were more ladies in attendance
than gentlemen and at least half dozen
ladies were so anxious to secure seats
that they brought their dinners with
them every day. This is the first trial
for murder in this county for 20 years
and we hope 20 more years will pass by
before there is another. The trial cost
the state about $4,000.
