County COurt.-Case of State v. Geo.
Kelley and James Smith was finished
Saturday. Jury was given the case at
about 11.30 a. m. and at 2 O'Clock re-
turned verdict of guilty. They were each
sentenced to five years in the states
prison at Windsor. The evidence against
them was crcumstantial but strong
enough to leave little doubt but that
they were the ones who took the money
from ]. c. +. Richter's store in Peacham
last August during the Peacham Acad-
envy centennial. Both denied that they
had anything to do with the burglary.
They accounted for the money found in
their purses by saying, Kelley that he
managed chance prize games at fairs and
peddlcd spectacles, and Smith that he
worked that winter in Skowhegan, Me-,
in a wooden MILL driving logs in the
Connecticut river in the spring and pick
ing blackberries in the summer.
Robert Scott, convicted of grand lar
ceny was sentenced Saturday to three
years term in the state prison. When
asked if he had anything to say why
sentence should not be pronounced, he
said he was innocent of the crime charged
and was not in Lyndonville when it was
committed. He also told the court that
he was 33 years old and had for some
time followed the race track as profess
sonal. He showed quite an ability as
an orator and the court listened to his
talk with a good deal of amusement.
Sheriff Sulloway took these three pris-
oners to Windsor Monday morning.
Saturday afternoon bills of divorce
were granted to Blanche n Beattie from
| J. X W. Beattie on the ground of intol-
cradle severity, and to Ruth N Richards
from Napoleon L, Richards tor refusal to

court the case will probably be tried here
