New Trial Is Denied; Exceptions Filed
And Bond Given.
JUDGE ADAMS LECTURES BURTON
The Law Is Equal To Any Emergency
Aud Can BE Administered Regard
less or Personality Or station of The
Accused.

St. Louis, Mo-, April 8. - Judge
Adams summoned Senator Burton To
stand up. and then spoke of the mo-
tions that had been filed for new
trial and for arrest OF judgment, The
court, after briefly reviewing the mo-
ton, overrulcd the bill. Then the
court said to the defendant: Have
you anything to say as to why sentence
should not be passed upon you?"
Trembling and evidently suppressing
his emotions with a strong effort, Sen
ator Burton stood leaning with both
hands on chair back, as he said:
"Your honor will please allow me to
respectfully decline to say anything. y
The court said: "After a fair and
impartial trial by jury of exceptional
intelligence, you have been found
guilty of the offenses charged in the
indictment against you.
"a motion for new trial in your
behalf has afforded me an opportunity
to carefully review and consider the
evidence. AS result of this / am sat
isfied that the jury reached the just
and true result. The evidence abund-
antly warranted their verdict and l
find no reason, either in the law gov
erning the case or in the proceedings
attending the trial for disturbing it.
"Your convictions necessarily results
in yonr punishment. Its Importance,
in my opinion, is not confined to its
effect upon you.
"Your exalted station in life and the
character of your offending, gives I'M
usual significance to your conviction.
1t demonstrates that the law of the
land is equal to any emergency and
can be administered regardless of
the personality or station of the &C
cused. 1t also demonstrates to all the
people that public Office cannot be
prostituted to self-serving purposes,
and that public Office is not sure or
safe passport to private thrift
1.-THE humiliation attending your
conviction and the statutory disquali-
fications resulting therefrom which
forever incapacitates you from holding
any Office of honor, trust or profit I'M
der the government of the United
States are in themselves heavy punish
ment for your offenses and leave but
little in the way of severity which
could be added.
SIT is neither my pleasure nor pur-
pose to impose any unnecessary pun
ishment.
81 think the majesty of the law will
be sufficiently indicated and the pub
lie welfare sufficiently safeguarded by
imposing single sentence, warranted,
as tits, on any one of the six counts of
the indictments on which you were
convicted.
"This sentence will be that you be
confined in the Iron county Jail for
period of six months, and that you pay
a fine of two thousand, five hundred
dollars"
Attorney Judge Krum Immediately
filed bill of exceptions in the case
and offered bond for $4,000 which
was accepted.
The case will now be appealed to the
United States district court of APP
peals, the highest tribunal in the mat
ter.

WEYBRIDGE.

j. P. Brittell died at his home on Fri
day of last week after a long and painful
illness Of tuberculosis. Mr.. Brittel spent
the summer at South Hero at santa
lrium there and was thought to be some-
what improved but his return home was
marked by gradual decline which con-
tinued until the end. He was the eldest
son of Oren X. and Sarah Brittell and
was born 80 years ago at the old Brittell
homestead in this town. He enjoyed
the privileges of good common schools,
finishing at Poultney.
He was married to Miss Cardie Spriggs,
also of this place. For time he engaged
in farming ON his fathers farm. After
ward he went into the employ of Newell
Co. of Odgenburgh as travelling sales
man. He was very successful at this.
After some years he engaged to Cort-
land firm at even better salary and con-
tinued here until poor health compelled
him to stop. He was undoubtedly one
of the best in his line in the state.
Among his fellows he was the large
hearted fellow to fault. No call of
want failed to reach his ear and pocket
as well. He was much reconciled to his
early-in-life departure. His end was
very peaceful and quiet, passing away as
doth the sunset breeze.
The last services We're at his home
(Spriggs homestead), Rev. Mr.. Slocum,
his pastor, officiating. The burial was in
the family lot in Maple Grove cemetery.

The December issue of Everybodys
Magazine will certainly attract attention,
not only because of the sensational in
terests of its installment of Thomas w.
Lawsons "Frenzed Finance" but
through the distinction and excellence
of its general contents and the beauty of
its illustrations. Some of the best fiction
writers before the public are represented
within its covers. There are stories
and good ones toby Booth Harrington,
o. Henry, Elizabeth Jordan, Lindsay
Denison, Inez Haynes Gilmore, and
Hall Caine. Henry van Dixie contributes
SIS the World Growing Better?'-an
article especially appropriate to the
season of peace and Good Will" in
which he discusses the development of
kindliness into world virtue and the
gradual elimination of cruelty. Another
clever feature is Theodore Waters inves-
tigation of the beggars of New York, in
which he starts out to solve the problem,
"Should we give aims to the INDECENT
who solicit in the street" One con-
clusion inevitable from his research is
that no deserving man need starve MOI
be without bed in the American me-
tropolis, summer or winter.

The Brattleboro Phoenix is right when
it called the bill, introduced by Mr..
Nutting of Westminster, aimed at the
publishers, class legislation. The pub
Usher of newspaper has just as much
right to give credit to customer as the
doctor, butcher, baker, or candle stick
maker The majority of the house,
probably did not stop to realize that the
newspaper business is a matter of credit
one way or the other, in every case.
The man who pays in advance year for
the paper is extending credit to the pub
Usher. He expects the paper to be pub
lished throughout the entire year, but he
has no assurance to that effect. On the
other hand the publisher who sends the
paper which has not BEEN paid for is
giving credit to the subscriber. The
whole matter is a business transaction.
The plea that the papers are sent to
people who do not want them has no
force. If person does not want news
paper all he has to do is to refuse to take
it from the postoffice and the postmaster
is required by the government to notify
the publisher, who must then stop send
ing the paper or have it consigned to the
waste basket in the postoffice Not one
cent can be collected on any paper sent
after the postmaster has notified the
publisher to stop it.
