Adams was presiding Judge. Hayes
l'assett as "Bill Buchanan. sheriff of
Washington County" was officer of the
court. Miss Della Cheever was clerk
of the court and Miss Batchelder was
court stenographer.
The witnesses called by the state were
Gertrude Leonard, who had had a
chicken pie stolen; Miss Adams as Ma
tilda Murphy who took in washing
Miss Kale Phillips, who raised lots of
chickens and always misunderstood the
question; Walter lie Barron as Josiah
Peggleton, rare specimen from farm

went to secure Mrs. Whites services as
washerwoman; Mrs o. S. Wiley, who

The arguments were both good, the
states attorney taking the tlowery style
and the counsel for the defence the pa
thetic. In concluding his remarks TO the
jury the states attorney asked them to
that the prisoner be senten-
ced to Montpelier for life. with nothing
to eat but Lunds candy, nothing to read
but Swasey's platform and nothing to
drink but city water, stating that he be-
lieved that sentence would be worse
than imprisonment for life. The Judge
charged the jury of six young men very
briefly. While they were out MIR.

The verdict was guilty" The judge
sentenced the prisoner to GO days at
Turkey and to receive 80 lashes accord
ing to the recommendation of the jury.
The whole trial was interesting and
Iaughable. Josiah Peggleton was the
most laughablc character present, but
all were good. The "eXhibils" were
excellent. The frequent "scraps" be.
tween the attorneys were very realistic.
