RELEASED UNDER $1,000 BAIL.
Nelson Jones, Charged with Murder
of Ida Fosbureh, Held on Charge
Of Attempting to Produce Abortion.

nelson Jones, Cnarged with Muruer
of Ida Fosbureh, Held on Charge
Of Attempting to Produce Abortion.
The hearing of Nelson Jones,
charged with the murder of Miss Ida
Fosburgh ended suddenly at Middle
bury Saturday by an agreement be
tween the attorneys that young Jones
should be bound over to appear be
fore the grand jury at county court
on the charge of attempting to pro
duce an abortion. This verdict was
rendered by Justice .. =. Moore and
bail in the sum of $1,000 was furnished
by Nelson Jones and his father,
Miner II. Jones, and the young man
returned to his home in Shoreham
with his parents.
The verdict is a great surprise to
the public and is causing much com
ment. No defense was made in be
half of the respondent except to show
that Jones had a good reputation
about his home. During the hearing
the state produced evidence tending
to show that Miss Fosburgh died from
the effects of poisoning while in a
pregnant condition; that the poison
was brought to her and delivered to
ner by Nelson Jones; that he secured
the strychnine from a Brandon drug
gist by means of a letter which he
wrote and to which he signed Miss
Fosburghs name; that no abortion
had been produced and that there was
no evidence of an attempt to produce
an instrumental abortion. To this
evidence the respondent has made no
denial and yet he is held on the charge
of attempting to produce abortion
which was set up in the second count
of the amended indictment. The
opinion is expressed that Jones's case
has been well conducted by his at
torneys.
Cashier c. E. Pinney of the Middle
bury national bank was called as an
expert in handwriting. He thought
the letter which ordered the strych-
nine from Spooners drug store in
Brandon and one alleged to have been
written by Jones were in the same
handwriting.
F. c. Spooner, the Brandon druggist
from whose store Clerk Churchill sent
the strychnine to Ida Fosburgh at
Shoreham, Vt, last March, identified
the letter giving the order for the
deadly drug, and corroborated tho
testimony of the clerk about its be
ing put up and forwarded.
Mr., and Mrs. Jones, parents of the
accused, and Nj. d. Fosburgh of West
Rutland father of the dead woman,
were among the witnesses, but little
that is new was brought to light.
The hearing Saturday afternoon was
occupied with the introduction of the
evidence Of witnesses to prove young
Jones's reputation and standing in the
community.

GREENFIELD TO so. DEERFlELD
Plans for Extending Trolley Lines
What Director Crosby Says.

"Hoh GiiNSApl Slpobg SoJSs
The information comes from Green
field that if no more serious snags are
struck than now in sight, the officers
of the proposed Greenfield & Deer
field electric road are confident that
early in September they will have the
cars running from Greenfield to South
Deerfield, and the road in such shape
that a good business can be done in
the fall and winter months. The
officers say they are quite sure that
actual construction work will be
started within 80 days.
Managing Director Crosby of the
Northampton q Amherst company
says that work on the extension from
Hatfield to South Deerfeld will surely
not begin until after the bill permit
ting it is passed, nor until the work
on the separation of grades at the
Laurel Park crossing is well under
way, nor until the Greenfield people
have demonstrated that their part of
the valley line is to be completed this
year. He is not certain whether all
these will transpire this year, but is
hopeful.

The hunger of the 10000 homeless
people was satisfied Sunday upon the
arrival of relief trains and boats
bringing provisions from neighboring
towns. A commissary was establish
ed in the centre of the city and thou
sands were fed during the day. The
relief fund is growing hourly, and
every mail brings offers of assistance.
An order was promulgated Sunday,
under martial law, requiring all mer-
chants whose stores were spared by
the confagration, to open their doors
and sell to all who asked.
1t is estimated that 5000 persons
have left the city and every outgoing
train is crowded with refugees. Five
carloads of tents were received Sun
day, the property of the state, which
are to be used by the homeless tenn
poTarily. The Times Union and Citi-
zen estimates the total property loss
at 100000. These figures are
based upon an itemized statement fur
nished by a volunteer committee of
citizens.

NEW YORK, Aug 9.-R C. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review OF trade tomorrow
will say There is no complaint from
any part Of the country over the volume
of current distribution of merchandise
and what hesitation is observed in gem
eral trade is chiefly due to the uncertain
ty as to the duration of the labor
troubles in the steel manufacture. Col
lections continue good, better weather
has helped the agricultural classes,
money is easy and stocks of merchandise
carried are not above the average for
this season OF year, particularly in the
West and Southwest.
Relief is felt In all departments of the
iron and steel industry now that uncer-
tainty is ended and the position of the
contestants made clear Now the issue
settled condition will greatly facilitate
operations. Structural, wire and plate
mills are not affected, and the produc-
ton of rails Will not be materially cur
tailed Supplies of bars and tubes will
be restricted, and quotations In these
lines tend to follow the advance already
secured for sheets and hoops. A BAN
feature IS the increased importation of
tin plates, which had been manufactured
in sufficient quantity TO about meet the
domestic demand, imports in the last
fiscal year being valued at only S3.770-
O62, against $35. 746. 800 ten years ago. PR

WEEK IN WALL STREET.
On the Whole Stocks show some
what Greater Strength.


NEW YORK, Aug. s.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
Strength and speculative confidence re-
appeared in the stock market after the
middle of the week, accompanied by an
Increase in the activity. The change in
this respect was the more striking be-
cause the week opened with a very de-
pressed feeling in the stock exchange
circles, and prices for several days de-
clined, in some cases in a decided man
ner, The unexpected ending of last
Saturdays conference between the he ads
of the Amalgamated association Of steel
workers. and the United States Steel
corporation in a disagreement, and the
announcement by the labor union that
there would be a general strike instead
of the paciticatiCn of the existing trouble
was calculated to have demoralZng eff
feet upon a market which had already
experienced a liquidation and decline on
the damage to the corn crop and the
strike. Bearish feelings consequently
predominated when the market opened
last Monday and there was heavy sell
Ing for both long and shorts In the steel
stocks. Nevertheless. after time il was
seen that the United States Steel stocks
were receiving powerful support at about
40 for the common and below 80 for the
preferred. Doubts were also cast on the
ability of the labor union leaders to
make good their threats OF closing the
majority of the plants Of the steel cor
porat!on and their course In first stat ny
that the general strike order would not
be issued for a week and then sending II
out forthwith, produced an impression
of weakness on their part. This was fol-
lowed by news that the steel corporation
was promptly putting into execution It's
plan of opening, one by one, It's non
union mills which had been shut down
and that thus far the plan had been com
pletely successful
On this the steel stocks hardened and
on Thursday rumors that there were re-
newed reports of a settlement caused
sharp advances in United States Steel
shares, the common rising to 43 and the
preferred to 80.
This movement would have natura "
caused sharp advances in United States
Steel to cover shorts, and in the general
market, but the railroad list was also
influenced in a bulIish way by indie.
pendent factors. The chief of these was
the better view the street takes OF the
corn crop situation. Actual improve
ment In the corn outlook is on the whole
slight and 1t IS generally thought to-
days government crop report will be
gloomy as regards the probable total
yield of corn. On the other hand, the
very favorable conditions in regard to the
wheat harvest have assumed greater
prominence, and the fact, insisted on by
many authorities that the West and its
railroads are not entirely dependent on
the corn crop for prosperity, Is accorded
due weight.
