JEALOUSY The CAUSE.
Shooting ARRAY in Mddlebury-5ert
Rickert Shot Under the Arm-Fred
Goss Arrested.

Bert Rlckert of Forestdale was shot
In the arm early Friday morning while
passing Battell hail i'm Mtddlebury on
his way from the home Miss Maud Allen
to the house of a friend on Court street.
Fred Goss, an employe of the Brandon
Italian Marble company, was arrested
by Deputy Sheriff William II. Cobb ana
Policeman William II. jackson, on war
rant charging him with assault on Rick
ert with intent to kill.
Rickert who is II years old, drove to
Middlebury Thursday night from For
estdale.
1t was o'clock in the morning before
young Rickert started for the barn 10
get his horse. In passing Battell nan
he was shot down by some one armed
with a 22-caliber rifle. He walked back
to his brothers house, where physicians
removed the bullet
Rickert identified Goss as the man
who shot him. He said Goss approach
ed him with his overcoat thrown loosely
about him as If in an attempt at con
cealmcnt and after firing ran rapidly
away, past the school house and between
the old DOnHhue blacksmith SHOP ana
the other building west of it, where he
lost track of him.
Young Goss was released on bail in
$5m.

the. matter lie says that he attended
prayer meeting at the Methodist church
Tuesday evening and from there went
home with Maud Allen and returned
from her home so as to visit places

10 o'clock The boys story can be cor

time he says he was homeward bound.
He admits that some time last year
he and Rickert had a quarrel, but IL
was not about the girl and that he
had not seen the other young man for

JONES UNDER ARREST
CHARGED WITH THE MURDER OF
MISS IDA FosBURe.
He is the Young Man Who Brought
Her the Letter Containing the Poi.
son-Some of the Clues.

Nelson Jones, %, Of Orwell was arrest
ed saturday night at the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Minor Jones, by
Sheriff r. NJ. Chapman of Mddlebury
on II warrant charging him with muir
dering Miss Ida 'osburg March u by
sending her poison through the mail
Neither the young man nor his parents
seemed surprised. Young Jones said
that he was innocent, but was not in
Clned to talk and went with the sheriff
to the Jail at Middlebury without pro-
test. Mr.. Chapman says the evidence
against Jones is circumstantial, but that
ne considers it very strong The theory
of the umccrs is said to be that Jones
mailed the package himself containing
the poison at the post office i'm Shoreham
ana that he possessed the confidence of
Miss Fosburg to such "A degree that she
would take anything which he told her
would be for her benefit. Sheriff Chap
man has discovered that Aldace Won
dette who was under arrest last week,
was not the man who was seen at
Crown Point, n. Y, the day after Miss
Fosburgs death, bewailing her supposed
suicide. This man was Richard Berode,
a young farmer i'm Shoreham, who was
intimate with the dead girl, but is not
supposed to be concerned i'm her death
Young Jones's parents are among the
wcalthiest ana most respected people
in Shoreham. Jones probably will not
be given hearing until a report -
made by the chemists who are examin-
ing and analyzing the organs of Miss
FOsburgs body.
Young Jones has always lived with his
parents and has been known as a quiet
and law-abiding citizen. Miss Fosburg
was Is years his senior and had seen
much more of the world than the youth,

NEWS IN BRIEF
Partner Of Defaulting Bank Cashier
Shoots Himself.

w. j. Gilbert former mayor of Niles,
Mich, was found dead Sunday in a
storehouse, where he had ended his life
with a bullet. Warm personal relations
existed between Mr. Gilbert and Charles
Johnson, cashier, of the First National
bank, who fled a few hours before tn"
failure of the bank and who was brought
back under arrest from Ohio a few days
ago, charged with wrecking the bank.
Mr. Gilbert was Johnson's legal adviser
and trusted him unreservedly. The
two were engaged in many enterprises
together and for nearly 80 years had
taken u leading part commercially and
politically i'm the development of the
town. How far Mr.. Gilberts business
affairs were effected by JOhnsOn's opera
tions and the collapse of the First Ma
tional bank only a fun investigation of
that institution can disclose. Mr.. GIL
bert aside from his own possessions held
many estates in trust acted as guardian
i'm several instances and acted as loan
agent for considerable eastern capital.
He did much business through Johnsun's
bank and 1t is thought was a large loser
through the failure.

Dramatic Turn in Murder Trial.

The trial i'm Salem of John Best for
the murder last fall of George Bailey
took a dramatic turn Friday, when
Best's brother-in-law, William II. Stiles
of Lynn was compelled on the witness
stand to give some damaging testimony
against his wife's brother. stiles Wis
tied Best at the Jail Sunday, the 10th,
and the prisoner, against the wishes of
his visitor, so Stiless story goes, told
him where to find a watch and S74 in
money which had been concealed in a
barn. Stiles did not go on the search,
but after his testimony i'm the court
room, officers were sent, who found the
property as described. The watch has
been identified as having been owned
by the murdered man. Some knowledge
of this talk in the Jail had come to the
prosecution, and confronted by direct
questions in court Stiles had no option
but to commit perjury or give testimony
against his brother-in-law
