SMITH DAVIS TRIAL.
viii Plead Not Guilty of Dora Cush.
mas Murder.

The preliminary hearing in the case
OF Smith G. Davis, charged with the
murder of Dora Cushman of Lincoln,
has been completed and all is now in
readiness for The trial at Middlebury
Thursday.
AT the hearing there was intro.
duced the most important testimony
which has appeared at any time
that OF the reports of the two experts,
DIR. 10 II. Linsley of Burlington and
Prof. Bartlett of Dartmouth college.
whose findings were submitted in
writing. These reports were submit
ted TO the counsel and not put in evi.
dence to be made public before the
trial.
The matter of bail was brought up
by +. w. McGettrick, Davis counsel.
The amount was fixed at s. 900,
which Attorney McGettrick thought
much too large and the opposing at
torneys had a lively discussion of the
matter.
The discussion failed to produce
any change in the amount of bail.
Davis was unable to furnish the
amount named and at the end of the
hearing was taken back to jail.
If the grand jury, which met at
Middlebury Tuesday, finds bill
against him the trial will commence
the second or third week of the court
term.
Davis plea will be "Not Guilty"
and ii is expected that a strong line of
defense has been formulated. His at
torney, +. W. McGettrick, will con
duct the case alone. The case of the
state is in the hands of States Attor-
ney Fish of Nergenpes, assisted by W.
Il. Bliss of MiddIebury, formerly of

Its Constitutlonaiity, IN One Branch,
Affirmed by the supreme Court.
The case of Edward Hodgson VS. the
State OF Vermont was decided in the
United States Supreme court Monday
Of last week in favor of the state.
The opinion was announced by JUS
tice Shiras. Justice ShiIas said the
l4th amendment was not designed to
interfere with the rights Of states to
protect the lives, liberty and property
Of their citizens. The claim made in
behalf of Hodgson was as follows:
The conviction of the plaintiff and
his sentence to fine and imprisonment
and hard labor. were without ''due
process of law and were therefore
in contravention Of the provisions of
the fourteenth amendment TO the
Constitution Of the United States.
BY the proceedings in this case the
plaintiff was deprived OF the protec-
ton OF the laws"
The conviction of the plaintiff and
his sentence TO Infamous punishment
was without due process of law, be-
cause he was not indicted by grand
jury.
The objections to the information
in this case and TO the proceedings
upon il here presented, were suffice
iently raised in the court below by
the motion in arrest of judgment
and the motion to quash.
The federal questions in the case
are sufficiently brought before this
court, by the assignments of error on
which the writ of error was granted
and by the further assignments in
this court.

esting facts. In the first place the to-
tai list shows a shrinkage of S3,06l

1896 being 81, TAG, 972 and for 1897 81, :
I43, 81. There is slight increase in the
value of real estate, but the increase is
more than wiped out by decrease in
the amount of personal property re-
turned. Real estate, in the shape of
5,2s4, 947 acres of land, is appraised at
Sll4,994, AL while personal property
above debts amounts to S42, 49,, los.
Th, re has been slight increase in the

Five counties in the state, Renning.
ton, Chittenden, Franklin, Lamoi,le
and Washington, show an increase
over the lit of 1896, while the other
nine show a decrease. Burlington. as
