band lay. She got only to the door Of their
little cottage and fell exhausted. She was
picked up and carried back TO her bed by
the children who then ran to Ere& Rob
bins whose house Is some distance from
theirs. Mr. Robbins was aroused and
then others Of the neghbors including Dr.
O. n Barber, George Rowland, Elmer
Howland, A. G. Whiteher, James Rogers
and Phillip Batchelder.
The twelve year old boy told his story
as coherently as possible during the ex
citement and the neighbors went 90 the
place Whe re the boy said the murder was
committed
Mr. Rogers was the first one to reach
the sp0t He found the body 0f the un-
fortunate man living face downward Ia the
dirt With the position ii The arms as be-
fore describedt When the others arrived
they turned the body over They thought
then that the man had not been murdered
but that he had died from hemorrhage, as
they saw no bullet marks. But on loosen
ing part of the clothing they discovered
the jagged wound IN the left shoulder
which told only too plainly how the man
had met his death
A long delay was then experienced be
fore the selectmen Of the town Of East
Montpelier could he notified After
wait Of nearly four hours the body being
4 left In the road, ,Seleetman kelton Of North
I Montpelier arrived After viewing the
/ body be ordered It removed to the under
/ taking rooms of B. w Hooker s. co. in
this CITY. The body was brought here at
about o'clock this morning
( Constable Charles Little Of that town
! had been notified He arrived on the
/ spot soon after and then the police officers
/ in this city and Ia Montpelier were nOti-
4 fed. although no officers were sent out
I from either place Constable Little, with
\ the considerable party Of neighbors who
had assembled, made an inspection Of the
ground where the murder was committed.
( They discovered the marks in road where
4 Yorr0n had fallen to his knees after re-
I ceiving the charge, then they saw his
4 tracks where he had run to the spot where
he fell again and where his body lay. At
I the latter place a pool of blood was found
| which was also to be seen this forenoon
l Then they went back to the cfump Of
bushes in which the foul murderer had
I concealed himself to lay in wait for his
victim.
Here they found a board freshly broken
I from the fence, leaving an aperture large
enough for a man to crawl through. Here
also they found the bushes and twigs
trampied down, Just beside the road and
not more than eight feet from where the
murdered man fell the first time. The
man who lay in hiding could net wait un-
I'll his victim got opposite him but fred
when he was about four feet down the
road from line in front of the hiding
place
What Is considered to be important Is
the finding OF considerable number of
oily pieces of newspapers which had been
used for wadding. This fact leads the
authorities 10 believe that the weapon was
a muzzle-loading gun. Much of this wad-
ding was found, and In fact the Times re-
porter picked up several pieces this morn
ing, which undoubtedly had been used for
waddng.
] No marks of bullets could be found on
the twigs or bushes BY the side OF the
road and none was to be seen on the waq-
) on or wood which remained Ia the yard 81
