of choosing any date Within three years
which is allowed by the statute of limita-
tons and introduced evidence in connec-
ton with the burglary which was perpe-
trated or the store on the night of May
4th, 1898. This move on the part OF the
State disconnected the plans of defence
which had been made by the respondents

abb for his client on the first named date.
Only two witnesses for the State were
examined at this time. Mr.. Cross. the
proprietor of the store. and Eugene Rob-
bins, his clerk. Their testimony. which
was corroborativc in all essential points
was in substance as follows: Bosworth

When asked if he wished to secure coun-

Montpelier, Aug 2S.-Thc cutters at the
Capital Granite company's shed have been
ordered to quit work, and this noon they
went out. Thus some twenty skilled work.
men are debarred from working at their

some time last June, hired to Mr.. Egan as
first class cutter. After he had been at
work few days, Mr.. Eagan became con-
WINGED that he was not an average cutteS.
He said as much to the man and utimlted
to him that he should have to discharge
him, as he could not afford to pay him
even the minimum union schedule price of
% cents per hour. The man begged the
privilege of working, stating that he had
not worked at his trade for the past ten
months, at the same time displaying tl~
palms of his hands which were badly
blistered He offered 10 work .or IS cents
per hour if Mr. Eagon would give him
work. Mr.. Eagan consented, the man &C
cepting his pay at the rate named and ap-
peared contcnted. But about the latter
part of July. the man notified Mr.. Pagan
that he should demand % cents per hour
at the next pay day. When Offered his
check on the basis of o cents per hour he
refused to take it and Mr.. Eagan declined
to pay him moro. The man took his trou-
bic to the officers OF the union and the
matter was referred TO the grievance COM
