Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1902-05-02

The proposed removal of the county
seat from Newfane to Brattleboro is fast
becoming an absorbing topic and will
no doubt be made an issue in the cleo
tion of many of the town representa-
tives in the coming campaign. What
ever personal feelings any one may
have in the matter the question is one
that should be met fairly and in a
friendly and open way, and the decis-
ion should be made with a view to
serving the majority in the best pos
sible manner At the outset the Brat
tleboro people interested in the move
ment state clearly the proposition
which is to be made. The bill which
will be introduced in the legislature
will provide that Brattleboro shall be-
come the shire when the town has
furnished suitable court house and
site free of expense to the remainder
of the county. This does not mean
that Brattleboro shall pay "A certain
sum and leave balance, if there be
any, for the county to pay. 1t means
house and site will be upon Brattle-
boro if the change is made. The coun
ty is asked to endorse such PROPOSE
tion. If it is passed then Brattleboro
must act upon it, This is the only
way the matter can be handled. The
questions to be taken into considera-
tion are, What is for the best interest
of the county: Which place is the
more accessible to the majority: What
interest have the respective towns:
In order to get at the feeling of the
citizens in the different Windham
county towns The Reformer wrote to
two representative men in each town
asking for their opinion and the opin
ion of their town, as it looked TO them,
regarding the proposed change, pro
vided Brattleboro would furnish the
court house and site. Up to the time
of going to press Is replies had been
received. representing II of the %
towns in the county. The majority of
these favor the removal on the grounds
that Brattleboro would be accessible
to "A greater number of people than the
present shire and that the business
could be done here much easier. The
strength of these arguments cannot be
overlooked by anyone. Figures com
piled from the court and jury trial

nodated at Brattleboro and % at New /!

Where the Business of the County Comes
From

Editor Reformer: r:-Under this head
ing the committee having in charge
the removal of the county seat from
Newfane to Brattleboro, published an
article in the local newspapers last
week which seems to us SO misleading
as to require an answer. The article
contains table, the first of series it
is stated, purporting to show that
Brattleboro is more accessible than
Newfane to five out of every six of the
parties in the cases set for trial at the
late March term of court. We are not
prepared to deny or affirm the correct
ness of the figures given. but we do
say, however, that they have but little
bearing on the real question at issue.
which is not the number of eases en-
tered on the docket, but the number
actually tried in court 1t is well
known of course that our docket al
ways contains large number of cases
which are never expected to be tried.
Many cases go up on appeal from JUS
tice courts simply to give the defeated
party more time, or a supposed chance
to effect a more advantageous settle
ment. These statements are confirm
ed by the f that at each term of
court many moe cases are entered as
settled and discontinued than are tried
by the court. Thus considerably more
than one-half of all the cases entered

Through a Woman's Eyes.

Newfane is easy of access. This is
proved by the good attendance at coun-
ty conventions of all kinds, a larger
number usually being present at New
fame than in any of the other towns,
showing that the tables given in last
weeks issue should be differently ar
ranged. Allowing that the residents in
some towns can more easily reach
Brattleboro, it is we'll known that the
journey from Wilmington to Brattle-
boro is quite as long as TO Newfane,
also from Marlboro, Halifax and Whit
ingham, thus placing these towns in
the doubtful list. if the Newfane claim
is denied. Grafton, Cambridgeport,
SaXtons River and Bellows Falls are
nearer to Newfane than to Brattleboro
but the greater convenience of public
conveyance from SaXtons River and
Bellows Falls must be admitted and
consequently part of Rockingham al
lowed to remain in the Brattleboro list.
Nevertheless, for those who prefer TO
come to court by private conveyance,
as so mana do, Newfane is the one
point in Windham county, most acces-
sible to all.
Newfane Jail has been condemned by
some one. and a new Jail proposed to be
built in Brattleboro. The present ac-
are ample as shown by
the large number of Chinese lately here
in confined, and the building is safe to
keep prisoners when no one is allowed
the liberty of the yard. Many acts dur
ing the last 2S years have shown this
to be so.
One philanthropist who has visited
prisons and jails in all parts of the
world, pronounced Newfane jail TO be,
in several respects, among the best
1nes found. With "more to follow. -

L. W. Bush of Brookline says: Il
don't believe you could find person
in our town that would favor moving
the county seat from Newfane to any
other place, not even to Brattleboro,

when the county seat should be moved
to Brattleboro even if the town of Brat

Charles f. Alexander of Guilford
says: Personally am in favor of hav-

on the docket are settled out of court.
TO this class of litigantS it can make
but little difference where the court
sessions are held, as they never appear
in court. The list of cases set for tri-
al referred to in the table of the Brat
tleboro committee was made up as fol-
lows The court rules provide that
cases may be set by either party for
trial by jury or the court on or before
the Goth day preceding term. In ac-
cordance with this rule some attorneys
set for trial nearly all the cases in
which they are interested, possibly
with the intention of trying but
small portion of them. Thus out of
total of about 200 civil cases then on
the March term docket 14l were set
for trial. From this padded list of
cases our Brattleboro friends construct
their little table and give it to the
world with the shout. "Where does the
business come FROM" Fortunately the
official record as shown by the docket
entries can give the answer AS the
March term of this year is the one at
issue we give the following facts relat-
ing to that terms actual business as
furnished from the records: Number
of jury cases tried, two: number of
contested court cases tried, three;
number of judgments in court cases
with no appearance of parties or wit
nesses in court, four: number of di-
vorces granted, 16. Total number of
judgments rendered, %. In the two
jury cases tried the parties and wit
nesses numbered about 90, of which
number Newfane was more accessible
to 80 and Brattleboro to IL.
The parties and witnesses in the
three contested court cases tried num-
hered %, of which number Newfane
was more accessible to % and Brattle-
boro to three The parties and wit
nesses present in the trial of the 16
divorce cases allowing five as the av-
erage. were about S0 of which num-
Der Brattleboro was more accessible to
30 and Newfane to %.
The summary shows that of the. lao
persons present as parties and wit
nesses in the % civil cases actually
tried and judgments thereon rendered
at the March term, Newfane was more
accessible to 50 and Brattleboro to 73.
Business relating to cases on the dock
ct other than the % in which iudg-
ments were rendered. was transacted
through attorneys, but without the
presence of parties OF witnesses, with
possibly two or three exceptions as re-
CARDS particulars.

Editors notel-We hardly under
stand how the gentlemen compiled the
figures they give in the above commu-
nication as to the parties and wit
/ nesses attending the last term on jury
/ business. An examination of the coun-
/ tv court docket shows that there were
six cases tried by jury, as follows: Bell
VS.. johnson estate. in which seven
persons came from Nottingham and six
/ from Brattleborol Forester VS.. John
son, in which p came from Jamaica,
one from Guilford, one from Brattle
boro, and one from Whitingham) state
VS.. Bushor, state VS.. Cushman, state
VS.. Garrity and state vs.. Plumb.
We are not able to separate which
were witnesses in each state case, but
the county clerks files show how many
witnesses attended in all cases and
where they came from In these four
state cases 81 persons attended court,
coming as follows: From Dummers-
ton, >; from Newfane. 10: from Whit
ingham, 15; from Halifax, 2; from Will
mington, A. from Brattleboro, %, and
from out of the state, looming through
BrattleboroJ g. OF these it is easily
seen fifty-seven were more easily
convened at Brattleboro, and 10 at
Newfane, so that of all the parties who
attended court for jury business at the
last term, 81 were more easily convened
at Newfane and 73 at Brattleboro.
We are not able to give the exact fig
ures as to the court business as the
witness lists are not filed. We shall un-
dertake to procure the figures as to that
and furnish them. The preponderance
in favor of Brattleboro at this term is
less than usual by reason of the one
case, Forester vs.. johnson, in which
a very large number of witnesses came
from Jamaica. 4 compilation of the
residence of parties and witnesses to
the cases tried for the last three or
four terms of court. gives a better idea
of the general average. OF course, on
the whole, the residence of the parties
to causes on the lists is the best evil
dence of where the court business
comes from. Costs run against parties
they don't actually attend
court and the mileage is always fig
ured in the matter of costs.
