Windham County Court.

The list Of jury cases has nearly fallen to
pieces by settlements and continuances and
it now appears that the middle of next
week will see the end of the term. The
four insuranc. cases by which B. NJ
Adams sought to recover his loss by the
Towrshend fire promised strong contest
but the matter has been tiled out of
court The only civil case for jury trial is
that Of Perry VS. Vermont Farm Machine
company which occupied yesterday.
STATE VS. FRANK NoRCROsS.
The week thus far has been mostly taken
with criminal and court business, the only
jury trial being State VS.. Frank Norcross
apt. for illegally transporting intoxicating
liquor. Norcross is truckman in Brattle-
boro village who in 1896 was accustomed
to take from lunch room and pool room
in that village empty lager beer bottles to
the brewery, so-called, on the island, get
them filled and then carry them back to
the parties from whom received. This he
did, it was claimed, to such an extent that
he must have known that the beer was dis
posed Of contrary to law. He was arrested,
fined 500 and costs, to the full extent of
the law, by Justice Newton and took the
case to county court on appeal where on
Tuesday he was found guilty No testi-
mony was put in on the part OF the respon-
dent. States Attorney Robb was assisted
by z. q. Fits in the prosecution; George
B. Hit appeared for defendant.
Watson S. French was to have been
tried Wednesday on his appeal from the
action OF Justice Newton of Brattleboro in
sentencing him to three years in the house
of correction for three third offences for
liquor selling, but not making his appear
ance his bail was called and declared
forfeited.
Michael Sailles, William Reynolds and
Charles Rogers were arraigned Wednes-
day, plead guilty to grand larceny and
were sentened, the two former to three
years each, and the latter to two years, in
the states prison.
wETHERELL GETS 15 YEARS.
Seamon l.. Wetherell was sentenced to
10 years in the states prison for the crime
OF rape and three years for adultery. A
sister of Wetherell made very touching
plea to the court for leniency in fixing the
time but the matter was deemed one in
which justice could not be tempered with
mercy. This view of the case meets ap-
proval of every one who listened to the
trials.
WESTMINSTER FIREBUG LOOSE.
John B. W. Coombs, the Westminster
frebug, who since the expiration of his
term at Windsor, has been in Jail on an
old indictment found against him for arson
in 1889, was released Tuesday on his own
recognizance in the sum of $500 and on
Wednesday morning started for Massa-
chusetts shoe shop town with the expecta-
ton that the trade which he was obliged to
learn at Windsor will bring him work. He
was released on his promise to leave the
state partly because the prison authorities
at Windsor had confidence that if permitted
he would do his best to redeem himself.
Indictments that have been hanging over
E. A.Willard, Jr., for embezzlement from
the Wilmington savings bank, and Free
man Lazelle for writing threatening letters,
were not pressed by the court.

is no proof however, of this, or the manner
in which the accident occurred There is a
