al at Manila. He was ill only few
days. He died May nth. He was
about Fl years old.
A letter was recently received
from Joe Carbino, who is enlisted
in the same regiment with young
Beaudette. The letter was dated at
Indian, island OF Luzon, May ~.
He had been slightly i'll with fever,
but was in fine health at the time of
writing.
Joe writes that the war is not over

trary. The food being served to the

DUSTIN SHAW SENTENCED.

Dustin Shaw, father of Frank
Shaw, was brought before Judge
Munson Thursday afternoon for sem
tence, he having pleaded guilty to
breaking Jail and to impeding an
officer. He was represented by F.
G. Southgate, who asked for the
clemency of the court in behalf of
his client. He urged that he had
only shown the natural instincts of a
man in devotion to his son, and that
all through the affair that had
brought hi II to his present position
he had shown no malevolent spirit
and no inclination toward violence.
Judge Munson then sentenced
Shaw to not less than two years nor
more than two and half years in
states prison for breaking Jail, and
from two and a half to three years
for impeding an officer.
Dustin Shaw was taken to the
state prison at Windsor by Sheriff
Spafford Friday.

duty to obey, and if respondent con.
tinued aiming at the officer the latter
was justified in firing at him. 1t
was the duty of the jury to give the
respondent the benefit of every rea-
sonable doubt in his favor.
Judge Munson's charge occupied
half an hour and at its close at HIS
the case was given to the jury.
The jury at 4.45 announced
through Foreman Henry Bond the
verdict as given above.
The trial OF Frank Shaw for muir
der was brought about by the tact
that witnesses who were in the sher-
ifs posse that had surrounded the
men saw him deliberately discharge
his rifle in the direction of Deputy
Hoffman.
The pursuit OF the Shaws will be
known in this State as about the
most exciting man-hunt for many
wears, and it is one Of the few cases
where bloodhounds were brought in
to use for trailing services.
The two Shaws escaped from
Woodstock Jail April "a. The at.
tempted arrest and shooting occurred
on South hill in Stockbridge April
Fl. On May cd the Shaws We're
captured near Middebury, and since

IN THE FIRST DEGREE
Frank Shaw Is Found Guilty OF the
Murder of DR.. Hoffman.

The Jury in the Shaw murder trial
returned verdict at 5 o'clock Wed.
nesday afternoon, finding the re-
spondent "guilty of murder in the
first degree"
Exceptions were taken during the
trial by Frank Shaw's counsel, Gil
bert A. Davis, and the case will go
to Supreme at the October term.
Young Shaw heard the verdict
with the same Indifference that
he has shown throughout the
nlnc-days' trial. His nerve is re-
markablc and will carry him to his
end, whatever his fate, as it has sus-
tanned him through all the exciting
occurrences since he broke Jail here
April 18th.
For the last two days the court
room has been crowded with specta-
tors, among them many ladies, and
during the delivery of the able argu-
ments on both sides-hy States At
torney Sargent and w. b. c. Stick
ney for the State, and by Gilbert A.
Davis for respondent-there was no
lack of interest in the tate of the
young prisoner. With his pale and
worn appearance and helpless arm
he has attracted considerable femi-
nine sympathy.
1t is understood that the jury stood
seven to five for murder in the second
degree on the first ballot and that
eight or ten ballots were taken.

defense Saturday morning. He con-
coded that the respondent left Jail,
but said tina, he did not do any actual
breaking. That, he said, was done
by his father. The testimony of the
state as to the Shaws appearing at
several houses, he further said,
would not be contradicted. The
incidents preceding the shooting
were admitted to be substantially as
told by Sheriff Spafford, except the
matter of Franks having his gun at
his shoulder. He was ready, said
MIR. Davis, to surrender, and if it
had not been for undue haste on part
of Hoffman the shooting would not
have occurred.

GERMANS LIKE RESULT

Berlin, Nov. German government
circles are all delighted at President
McKinley's reelection. The United
states embassy today received a num-
Der of expressions Of that kind.
Generally speaking, the German pub
lie is taking much greater interest in
the American election than heretofore.
Everybody is discussing the results.
Won Houeben, the German ambassador
to the United States, who is now in this
city, said to the correspondent of the
Associated Press about the result;
we all rejoice over it."
The Deutsche Tages Zeitung, which is
the main agrarian organ, says:
We have from the first expressed the
opinion that the party which would
win was the party which had the most
dollars. and that this party was the
Republican party Of gOldbugs was an
undoubted fact. The whole American
election could be greatly simplified by
each party making a showdown of the
number of dollars meant to be expend-
ed upon the election. This would also
show the number of electors. But then
the Americans like an election cam
paign. as it is exciting sport. For poll
tics at large, the election result this
time is of no consequence.
The Tageliche Rundschau says:
Undoubtedly for America an area OF
world power politics of the most in
tense description begins, and continu-
ing from the samples thereof already
seen. this will not be a factor for pro
noting the worlds peace The United
( States will now show its true face in
! the Chinese question. We cannot say
! that our confidence in AcKinley's good
/ will toward Germany is very strong"
