Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1899-04-21

In his conclusion Mr., Rotherme said
that the defense had adopted the course
of Offering no testimony in order that
they might get the closing address and
| warned the jury to have this in mind
when the defense made it's closing argu-
| ment.
Recess was then taken.
Shields Assnils Gordon.
After recess Mr.. Shields began his ad-
dress to the jury. He dwelt on ex-
Judge Gordon's connection with the
prosecution and denounced his actions
roundly. Mr.. Shields denounced the
photographing of the letters and the ex-
hibition of those photographs to Demo-
cratic National Committeeman Guffey
and John Wanamaker as proof positive
Of the conspiracy for the undoing Of
Senator Quay.
The speaker took up the bill of indict-
ment, which, he said, charged the mis-
use of public funds, and dared any
member of the jury, in defiance of his
conscience, to render a decision against
the defendant. He turned to the letters
of Senator Quay to Hopkins, which, he
said, was in poor handwriting. Mr..
Shields said, HE is a bad writer, but a
good senator and good friend"
The letters, he contended, all explain
ed themselves. They represented or
dinary business transactions, and he
pointed out that whenever Quay wrote
to Hopkins to buy stock or make pay
ments on his account the books showed
that the senator had ample money in
the bank in his own name to cover the
transactions.
Mr.. Shields took up the plum tree"
telegram and directed his most wther-
ing sarcasm against the smalness of
the minds of the men who. would use
this document against a public man in
view of the fact that Senator Quay had
more than $60,000 of his own money on
deposit and that $4,000 of this was used
as margin in the transaction.
Expert Goldsmith's testimony was de-
nounced as false, and he claimed that
he was put on the stand in order to dis
tort the facts. He explained that Penn
sylvania was compelled to witness the
spectacle of this man being put for
ward 'to despoil her escutcheon and
destroy her representative"
Judge Biddle's charge to the jury fol.
lowed.

PRISONER BROKE JAIL

Special Officer f. E. Perry arrested a
man this morning on the charge Of try
ing to obtain liquor under false pre-
lenses at the city liquor agency, and for
drunkenness.
He was put in the cage to sober off
and when Mr. Perry went down there
about o'clock to see how his prisoner
was getting along he found only an
empty cell.
About five minutes before Mr. Perry
came down the Alley to the lookup
"Babe" Goneo, who works for Prindle
Il Averill, saw man come out Of the
lookup. He asked Goneo the way out
and was shown the way to Main street.
He did not want to go that way and
struck out by path between Prindle Il
Averills store and the Barre Steam
Laundry. Goneo told Officer Perry.
who arrived just about the time the
prisoner had gotten out of sight, that he
thought the man hau broken from the
lookup. Mr.. Perry saw this to be the
case and started off up Elm street after
him.
An examination of the lookup shows
that the prisoner picked the paddock on
the iron cage and then using small
axe. that was in the room, for a screw
driver, he took the lock from the door
that opens into the shed. The roll doors
were open, so escape from there on was
easy.
Up to the time of going to press the
prisoner had not been retaken.

THE HEALTH BOARDS
HELD NO MEETINGS
STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS
COME TOGETHER.
Wholesale Discharges and Quarantine
Were to Have Been Discussed,
but There Was No
Quorum.

There was to have been a double action
meeting of the Boards of Health yester-
day. The State board and the local board
were to have met Independently and then
in joint session, but neither happened.
DIR. Keeney was summering at Del
Monte and DR.. Coffey was too busy TO
get around, consequently there was no
quorum. 1t was a matter Of employees the
local beard had to consider. Auditor
Wells action in holding up salary war
rants of all employees save those provided
for by statute has created a necessity for
some hard figuring. 1t was the figuring
that was to have been inaugurated. II
there is to be no money with which to
pay employees, heads will have to drop,
or at least the stricken deputies will nee
essarily be shelved until after the court
has decided that the Board of Health may
give out all the jobs the political debts OF
its manager require.
The State board was to have discussed
with the local authorities the best means
of getting rid of DR.. kinyoun and the
other Federal quarantine officials. The
old fight between the State and Federal
officers will not down, particularly since
DR.. COhn was made quarantine officer Tor
the State board. The ancient row is on
again right merrily and a corps of ca
pable assistants is kept at work by the
State board figuring out artistic KNOCKS
to be put on the Federal agent at Wash
ington. However, yesterday the local ofh-
cials were not on hand to the extent or
a quorum so the State board called the
business off. 1t is hardly likely that any
thing more serious than real indignant
letter will be sent on to the capital.

THE STOCK MARKET.

Securities were more active on the morning
session, but the only change worthy OF note
was a decline in Gas and Electric to s71.
In the afternoon Gas and Electric sold down
to $40 20 and Contra Costa Water was frmer
at s77Q77 80.
Mining stocks were stronger and most Of
them advanced several cents. Sales were
small as usual. The telegram from the pump
said: AT $50 o'clock this morning the water
was down II feet inches below the 1850 level
station. The water has risen and fallen during
the last twenty-four hours"

RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH.
The Street Orators and Sympathizers
Gain a Victory in the Police
Courts.

The street orators and their sympathiz-
ers, ten in number, who were arrested on
Thursday night at Fifth and Market
streets for obstructing the street and re-
fusing to move on, appeared in the Police
Courts yesterday. A. McGinty, Thomas
Beresford and Pauline Horwitz were in
Judge Conlan's court, and the Judge, after
hearing the evidence, dismissed the cases.
He said that there was a public meeting
being held, and that the police had no
right to modest the people so long as the
meeting was conducted in an orderly man
ner. The right of free speech was guar
anteed by the constitution of the United
States
Judge Mogan had Joseph O'Brien, Will
lam Edlin and q. b. Benheim before him,
and he also dismissed the cases. He held
that the section of the Penal Code under
which the arrests were made applied to
riots, and the police must show that it
was not a public meeting. This they had
failed to do.
In Judge Treadwell's court j. J. Dunn,
Bessie Rifkin, G.. Hatch and Leon Deville
appeared. On motion of Prosecuting At
torney Carpenter the charge of obstruct-
ing the street was dismissed against the
defendants, but the charge of refusing to
move on win be fought out, and the cases
were continued till to-day to give the de-
PENDANTS time to plead.

ILLEGAL FISHING IN
MARE ISLAND SL0UGHS
CLEANING OUT THE WATERS
WITH UNLAWFUL NETS.
Sportsmen of Vallejo Protesting
Against Persistent Violations OF
the Law by a Number of
Italian Fishermen.

Some years ago the Napa River and
sloughs whicn cut the marshes where II
enters the bay were stocked with striped
bass by the Fish Commission, and ever
since they have afforded sport to the rod
men and steady occupation for the market
fishermen The market fishermen have
been overstepping the limit, however, and
unless stopped they are in a fair way to
clean the waters of that whole section out
of not only striped bass, but everything
else.
The law prohibits the use of pocket"
nets and all nets with smaller than four
inch mesh. This allows all but flsh
weighing three pounds and over to es-
cape. The pocket net is in extensive use
around Vallejo, however, and the sports
men of Vallejo and the surrounding coun-
try are raising vigorous protest.
1t is claimed there no less than eight
or ten boats, each worked by from three
to five men, that are working with nets
prohibited by law and made with meshes
that would hardly let through lingering
1t is known that one of these boats made

WHOLE VILLAGE
Placed on Wheels and Moved to a
New and Better Site.

The residents of Goldenbridge. in North
ern Westchester County, moved their vii
iage recently. The entire town, which
is on wheels. is now one mile farther
east than it was The town will take an
other jaunt of mile to-day before 1t
reaches its destination.
Goldenbridge is, or was, in the north
east corner of Mestchester County. Re-
Gently the New York Aqueduct Commits
sioner condemned the town and notified
the residents that they would have to
move.
Several of the old settlers who grew up
with Goldenbridge did not approve of the
idea of letting the town be wiped out OF
existence. After a consultation 1t was
decided that a committee should hnd
place to which to move the village. The
committee chose a picturesque hill two
miles east.
Wednesday was moving day. Early in
the morning workmen started in to ele-
vate the houses and place them on wheels.
Every team of horses and yoke OF oxen
were brought into commission, and the
lob of moving the town was commenced.
Houses and barns were drawn along the
country roads toward the new site. The
furniture and sometimes the people stayed
right in the houses.

cession The old Goldenbridge Cemetery,
which has been in existence for over a
century, will also be moved.-New York
