Indictments of Grand Jury at Keene

No Indictment was found against David
d Davis of Winchester, who was held for
the killing of Ernest Maddocks, husband
OF the respondents granddaughter, at their
home on Broad Brook in June last. While
it is not known what testimony was sub
mitted to the grand jury it is understood
that some of the most important witnesses
proposed to tell an altogether different
story from that which they had previously
told before the coroner's jury and immedi-
ately after the killing took place. That
they did this there can be little doubt
in view Of the result, but even then it is
difficult to see how the jury disposed OF
the fact that Maddocks was shot by Davis
without at least holding Davis for trial.
The only explanation possible would seem
to be that grand jury decided he was act
ing in self-defense The case was present
ed to the jury by Attorney General East
man and Solicitor Hersey, and the charge
to the jury was made by the attorney gen.
eral. Davis, who has been under $40, 200
bail since July, now goes free.
The following indictments were re-
turned:

AN INDIAN BRIDAL PAIR.
They Were COntented and Happy in
Their Simple and UncOn-
sciOus Way.

Once I saw a pretty thing, a young
bride of the Kickapoos, on sort of
wedding trip, says writer in Ainslee's
Magazine. She was tall and slight, and
so closely do the members of tribe
resemble one another-she looked like
the twin sister of her young husband.
At first they were accompanied by a
stout old chief, but he left after circus
day. 1t is odd to see an Indian chief
patronize the peanut and lemonade
stands and sit unmoved at the perform
ance, and yet stand enthralled before
the cages of animals unknown on his
native prairies. The bride and bride
groom spent three or four days in the
town, wandering about as unconscious
ly as Adam and Eve in the garden. The
man was already masterful and pro-
tecting, the girl shy and subservient.
Day after day they walked hand in
hand, looking at everything, people,
shops, cattle, but never speaking to any
one, never even to each other, yet deep
ly content in the consciousness of COM
partnership. They were living exam
Pile of the happiness of simplicity, and
while they stayed in the hustling town
made many civilized man and woman
think of how far their own conduct
as wives and husbands fell short of the
standard of this unconscious Indian
nair.
