IN OUR OWN STATE.
WAS SEEN WITH REVOLVER.
Benjamin Williams, a Deserter, Suspected
Of the Murder Of Policeman McGrath
In Burlington.

After a days investigation of the cir
cumstances surrounding the fatal shoot
ing of Policeman McGrath by n prisoner
whom he had arrested Thursday night
and who escaped directly afterward the
authorities believe they will soon fix the
responsibility for the crime.
Benjamin Williams, a deserving wag-
oner from troop !, 18th United States
cavalry, who was arrested at Nergennes
during the night while stealing a ride on
freight train from Burlington, was
brought back to Burlington Saturday and
examined by the police. The latter claim
that Williams admitted he was a deserter
and that he slept i'm the lumber yard
Thursday night, afterward walking to
Shelburne and boarding the train for
Nergennes.
A search of the car in which the man
was discovered revealed an army revol-
yer and several cartridges and other cart
ridges were found about him Saturday.
Night Waterman Lavallee Identifies VIII
liams as the man whom he saw in the
custody of officer McGrath previous to
the shooting, and Joseph Peria says the
prisoner is the man whom he saw display
a revolver an hour and half before the
shooting.
Williams declares he knows nothing of
the crime. Frank Drake, another sus-
pect, was released. \ third suspect was
arrested but later released.

Bold Robber Fooled in PlainHeld.

DR.. u. +. Smith of Plainheld was
awakened about midnight Saturday by
violent ringing at the door bell. He was
met at the door by a man who thrust
a loaded revolver in his face and told the
doctor to throw up his hands. Dr.. Smith
attempted to shut the door against him
and cramped the mans arm, but could
not disarm him. After he had gone DR.
Smith found a gray horse in the yard
with halter on, but no saddle or blanket
Later developments brought out the fact
that the horse was owned by Orville
Batchelder, who had rented the beast to
a strange man the night before. He could
not describe him.
DR.. Smith had made a business trans
action Saturday and brought home 800,
He thinks his midnight visitor knew of
this fact. The man was tracked to Cur
rier hill, but no further. Other noises
were heard by neighbors of Dr. Smith
during the night and Ezekial Skinner who
lives on an adjoining street saw the shad-
ow of a man against window of his res
dence. He spoke and then fired but the
shot went wild. The shadow disappeared

had been carlessley used for staging and
other purposes, attracted Mr.. Shoros at
tention. Upon looking at the end of it
he discovered it contained a tin box.
There had been a hole made in the plank
Just large enough to secrete the box. The

to every secular and religious newspaper
in your county, and in this way send a
helpful word to these sisters of ours.
Mrs. NJ. f. Otto, 2SlS Luca avenue. st.

THE WILSON CASE.
Judge Wheeler's Order for a New Trial
to Be Reviewed.

An order has been filed with United
States Clerk johnson, issued by United
States Circuit Judge LaComhe. to review
the action of United states District Judge
Wheeler in the suit Of Samuel ID. Wilson
against Percival w Clement, by which
a verdict of the jury for the defendant,
Clement, was set aside.
The case was tried in Rutland last
October. and the jury returned a verdict
for the defendant. Judge Wheeler set
aside the verdict on the ground that two
of the jurors might have been prejudiced,
one Of them being an alleged supporter
of MIR. Clement in the campaign against
prohibition in 1902 and the other having
been an employe of the Rutland railroad
during the time that Mr. Clement was
president Of and operating that railroad.
The suit was set for retrial at Windsor
this week. but the above order of Judge
Lacombe operates as stay Of proceed
ings pending the hearing in New York.
