dictate. He also wanted Miller to pro-
duce all papers and data in the case.
Miller took the sand and Ammon
questioned him. On question was:
AT my trial, last June, did you tes-
tify at the proceedings IN New York
that You would swear to anything, be-
cause at the emu of year they could
not prosecute you?'
Il Gid" answered Miller.
Ammon put several questions to
Miller about his being in Canada, if
$4,000 had been sent to him and who
brought it to him. Miller answered
that 4Ammon had told him to say he
had been sent $4,000.
1T was a question: he added, 'in
my mind if Ammon ever sent $4,000
to me-
Ammon asked Miller what had be-
come OF 100000 deposited with the
Wells Fargo Banking Co. of New

THAT money" answered Miller, "was
deposited in bank by Robert A. AM

be deposited.
Anmon attempted to prove that it
was put there at Miller's request. Il
have written proof to that effect" said
Ammon.
At this point the examination went

Bennington. VT. Dec. pa motion to
quash one of the counts in the irdict-
ment against Mrs. Alice Moffat when she
was put on trial in the Bennington coun-
" court, today. charged with attempting
10 poison her husband. The jury had been
selected without difficulty and the prison
en- was called to plead when her counsel
objected on the ground that it was not
allowable under the Vermont law to in
ciide two specific charges of the same
nature in the indictment. 1t was not the
intention of the defence to attempt TO
evadc trial. he said. but they wanted the
trial to proceed properly He would,
therefore. ask that the court order either
one or the other of the specific charges
quashed. and allow the defendant to
plead to the remaining charge.
Judge Watson then announced that he
would take the matter under considers
ton and would announce his decision at
the opening OF court, this afternoon. Re
cess was then ordered until O'Clock
announced that the two counts on the in
dictment against Mrs. Moffat would
stand.
/ The prosecution opened by calling to the
witness stand PhiIander MOffat husband
Of the respondent. The witness testified
to an alleged intimacy between Mears,
who worked for him, and Mrs. MofSat.
For this reason he discharged MearS.
Soon after his wife left home and only
returned when he consented to re-employ
Mears He denied any ill~feeling towards
his wife and said that he had not accused
her of an attempt to poison him. He de-
scrihcd an illness experienced after eat
ing pancakes prepared by Mears who
was cook, and also the sickness which
attacked him after he drank whskcy that
Mears had bought for him. He said that
after he was taken i'll Mears suggested
| that he might have been poisoned and al
| terward dumped the pancake dough into
| a brook nearby.
/ The only other witness was MRS. Joh,'
| Fox, daughter of Mrs. Moffat. who cor
roborates her fathers testimony as to MS
sickness and the disposition made of the
| pancake dough. She said that she be
| eved there was nothing to implicate ner
mother in the poisoning.
/ At this point court adjourned until to-
morrow it is expected that Mcars VIII
| be brought here from Windsor. where nc
