CHARGED WITH BURGLARY
Viii Be Taken to Asylum at Water
bury For Observation on
Mental Condition.

Montpelier, Oct. 15.--In county court
the case Of State VS.. William Wright OF
Barre. charged with the burglary of Charles
Zanleoni's liquor store in Barre, was taxi
en- up yesterday afternoon, jury being
quickly empanelled. There was a short
postponement Of this case yesterday morn
ing owing TO the absence Of witnesses.
The case did not last long, however, as
the respondent was ordered committed to
the state hospital for the insane at Wa
terbuTy for observation Of his mental con-
ditiOn. The order Of Judge Haselton was
satisfactory to all concerned.
The defense IN this case as outlined BY
W. A. Lord is as novel as it is interesting.
It has no precedent in Vermont courts and
the final outcome Is awaited with much
interest. The testimony Of the state will
tend 60 show that the respondent, when
he entered Zanleonis store was intoxica-
ed, which under Vermont laws Is no ex-
euse for crime. The breaking and enter
ing is practically conceded by the de-
fence, but the claim is made that the re-
spondent Is adipsomaniac and as such
was not responsible for his actions. That
he had not had drink for two days at the
time Of the breaking and entering, that
his appetite was stronger than his VIII
power when he broke into this wholesale
liquor store to get bottle Of whiskey, and
furthermore that he was suffering from
delirium tremens at the time the deed was
committed. 1t Is also claimed in his de-
fence that he has twice taken cure for
the liquor habit without success.
Winfield and George Stone, who pleaded
guilty to burglarizing the post office aud
store at Gouidsvillc two months ago, were
brought in for sentence. The former, aged
II, was sentenced to the state Industrial
school at Vergennes for the remainder al
his minority, with an alternate sentence
Of not less than two and One-half years Ia
the House Of Correction at Rutland II his
conduct is not good at Vergennes. Geo.
Stone was sentenced TO the House of Cor
rection at Rutland for not less than two
nor more than two and one half years.
Henry and Leslie Mayo, charged with
truanoy, were placed in charge Of Proba.
tion Offieer Stanton They reside in
Barre town.
Chas. A. Graham of Cabot retracted his
plea OF guilty Of larceny and pleaded not
guilty of the larceny of parts Of gasolene
engine. Bail was fixed at $500 and the
respondent was allowed to go on his own
recognizance until his case is reached.
The case Of Statevs Roderick McLeayof
Barre, breach Of the peace, was entered
discontinued because of the death of the
respondent
State vs.. Chase a Lombard, larceny, all
Of whom were indicted year ago, were

BY Decision.

Brattieboro License Commissioners stand
BY Decision.
Brattleboro, Oct. 1.-The Brattleboro
board of license commissioners after care
fully considering petitions to reconsider
their action in revoking the licenses is
sued to l.. ]. Strong Of the Melrose house
and 4. Frank Turner of the American
house, have decided that their action was
right according to their Interpretation of
the law, and they have decided not to re-
instate their licensees Their decision
will probably be accepted by the others
whose licenses were revoked as applying
to their own cases, so it is not likely that
any other petitions will be presented.
The commissioners state that there is
nothing in the new law giving them au-
thority to issue licenses to other persons
for the unexpired time that the old llcen-
ses were to run, but they are inclined to
accept the opinion Of able lawyers to the
effect that inasmuch as the town voted IL
eense the action Of four or i've hotel keep
ers in violating the conditions Of their IL
censes should not deprive the town of what
it voted for.
