WESTMINSTER WEST.


A decided sensation was caused among
the dairymen and cattle raisers by the dis
covery in the early part of the week Of the
existence of tuberculosis in one of the
herds here 1t had not been known pre-
viOusly that the disease had obtained a
foot-hold in the parish, although a number
Of cases had appeared in East Putney. But
upon applying the test by Veterinary Dut-
ton of Brattleboro, six cows and one young
animal responded and they were killed
under his direction on Tuesday. Two of
the cows were found to be badly affected,
the Others less so, but all showed some
sign of the disease. This herd has hereto
fore been considered one of the best in the
place, and the result will probably lead
other farmers to try the test upon their
cattle.
Upon the invitation of the social COM
mittee of the Christian Endeavor society
the members and young people of the
place spent pleasant evening on Wednes-
day of last week with Miss Lavinia NJ.

F. L. Harlow has been in the place for
several days this week, He has set con-
siderable number of fruit trees in his or

Vermont Academy's Latest Games

Vermont Academy's Latest Games.

day with the Dartmouth medics on the

will pitch for Dartmouth, and the team is
made up largely of eX-Dartmouth varsity
and ex-Harvard players.
Vermont Academy won from Middle
bury college at Middlebury Monday II to
10. Wiley was hit hard, and the score was
to against the Academy at the end of
the second inning. Coffin went into the
box and his excellent pitching and the
heavy hitting OF the Academy boys brought
the victory. Whltemore and Perry led in
batting with four hits each.
Vermont Academy lost its second game
of the season on Saturday to the Dartmouth
Reserves at SaXrons River. The score was
10 TO !. The visitors made hits, Acad-
envy Z, and each team had errors. Coffin
pitched his first game for Vermont Acad-
envy and did well. A feature of the
game was the hitting of McAndrew. the
noted full back OF the Dartmouth foot ball
team. He lined out two-bagger, three

never changed color during the trying
ordeal. With lips firmly compressed
and jaws set hard he faced the Judge,
jury and court room full Of spectators
with well-feigned stoicsm. About three
weeks ago ThOrn's first trial on the
charge of murder was begun, but owing
to the illness Of a juror it had to be
abandoned after three days. A second
trial opened a week ago last Monday,
and counting out three days on which
the court did not sit the trial consumed
only six days.
Thorn's Testimony Of No Value to Him.
Mrs. Nack's testimony during the mis-
trial made it compulsory for Thorn's
lawyers to change their line of defense
in the second trial, and they made a
direct charge against Mrs. Mack and in
sisted that her alleged confession was
lie and that she herself was the insti-
gator and perpetrator Of the murder,
Thorn being ignorant of the killing I'M
til after Guldensuppe had been shot by
Mrs. Mack. The woman was not pro-
duced during the second trial, but Thorn
went on the stand and substantiated all
the assertions made by the lawyers as
to the midwife's guilt. His story. as the
verdict shows. did not have the desired
effect upon the jurymen.
New Trial Promptly Refused.
Judge Maddox's charge was carefully
prepared and we'll delivered. It was ac-
knOwledged by the lawyers for the pris-
Oner to be extremely lucid, fair and i'm
partial. The jury remained in delibera-
tion just three hours, when it sent
word to the judge that it was ready
to render a verdict. The fact of the Jury
remaining oat so long gave hope to the
defense. But when it came in-"Guilty
of the charge preferred" were the omi-
nous words which fell from the lips Of
the foreman of the jury. Thorn's law
yers moved for a new trial on the
ground that the verdict was not in ac-
cordance with the weight Of evidence,
but the motion was Overruled.
Admits That He PeEjured himself.
When Martin Thorn had been led back
to his cell after the conviction he admit
ned that the verdict was just, and that
he and not Mrs. Mack killed Guldep-
suppe. This acknowledgment Of guilt
took place while Thorn's cell in
the Jail was being prepared for
him. He said: II am glad
it Is over and the verdict given. I am
convicted ard am contented. 1t was
who killed Guldensuppe. and l believe
every word that Mrs. Mack said upon
the stand vas substantially correct.
When I was on the stand I lied when
telling the story as did, but lied t.
clear myself. 1t is no use carrying It
any further. am guilty and am con-
victed. 1t is what I expected and what
I SUPPOSE people think I deserve, and
perhaps I do"

Chief of Police ut Dcs PLANES Claims to
Have the Murderer.
Chicago, Dec. 1.-The chief of police
at Desplaines. about thirty miles west
Of Chicago. sent word to the police here
last night that he had captured Chris
Merry. who is wanted for the murder
Of his wife week from last Friday.
Officers were sent out. but they cannot
return with the prisoner until today.
To make matters worse wires were in
very bad shape last night between Chi
cago and Desplaines. and it was prac-
tfcally impossible to get word from
there. The police here do not feel at
all sure that the man captured is Merry.
The police last night got their first
Information regarding the cause Of the
murder Of Mrs. Merry. Nicholas
Schwartz, a peddler who had been en-
ployed by Merry for three years, told
them that on the day preceding the
murder he made 37.7s for Merry by ped
ding. and # was to get this from his
wife after she had refused to surrender
II that Merry sfrangled her to death.
