A elimination of the most exciting
battling and sensational man hun
ever known in Washington count,
was reached Jan. IS. when Adelber
Martin was placed behind the bari
in Washington county Jail by Sheriff
Evans and Deputy Sheriff Martin
Fitzgerald, who brought him to Mont.
pelier from Manchester, n. IL.
The crime with which Martin il
charged and for which he was in.
dicted by the grand jury at the last
September term of Washington county
court was peculiarly revolving. II
is alleged that on the night of Septem-
Der % last Martin went to the house
OF Stephen Trombley in South North
field, Trombley at that time being
confined in Washington county jail,
and made a felonioust assault upon
Mrs. Trombley. She resisted him and
he pounded her to insensibiIity with
club. The eldest daughter was also
badly beaten about the head and
shoulders.
As soon as Sheriff Evans was noti-
fed of the assault he put all his dep
uties on the trail OF Martin and they
with police officers and citizens made
an unsuccessful hunt of about two
weeks.
Martin was arrested in. Manchester
by Patrolman Moher, who was salts
fed from the descriptions sent out
that Martin was the man wanted in
Vermont. He denied his identity
until Deputy Sheriff Fitzgerald, who
knew him well, was taken to his cell.
Martin at once weakened and ac-
knowledged that he was the man
wanted. During the trip from Man
chester to Montpelier he acknowl-
edged to the officers that he had
committed the crime charged against
him but told weird story OF meeting
a stranger near the house of Mrs.
Trombley that night who compelled
him at the point of revolver to
commit the assault. After leaving
the Trombley house Martin says he
walked to Williamstown, thence to
Chelsea, Sharon and Hanover, n. H.,
going from there by train TO Man
chester. lie says that during the
greater part of the time since he left
Vermont he has been numbering at
Boscawen, N. H.. but went into
Manchester on Saturday for supplies.
He was drinking in a saloon when
arrested.
He made no objection to coming to
Vermont with the officers without
requisition papers. Martin told Sheriff
Evans that the man for whom he
worked in the lumber camp at Bos-
cawen owes him $500 and he asked
permission OF the officer to 90 into
the woods and get his money, saying
he would then come with him to
Montpelier. The sheriff very naturally
denied this request.
Martin is an athletic looking young
man of about 20 years, weighs 170
pounds, is five feet seven inches tall
and straight as an arrow. He was
seen a month ago in Manchester by
policeman who arrested him but he
eluded the officer and got back to
the lumber camp, where he was prac-
tically safe from arrest.
The grand jury found two indiet-
ments against Martin, one for burglary
and one for assault with intent to
kill. He will probably be tried on
the latter count at the March term
OF court.

Where there used to be feeling of I'M
easiness and worry in the household when

Drunken Frscas.

Philip Blanchard, who had been
working at Hardwick, went TO his
home in Swanton. Jan. q, very much
under the influence of liquor. His
wife was at neighbor's and on her
return, with her 15-years old son, she
was assaulted by her husband, as
she opened the door, striking her full
in the face with chair and intlicting
dreadful injuries. He then struck the
boy in the face with his fist, cutting
a deep cash. The boy ran away, but
returned in few minutes to look for
his mother. Blanchard then seized
them and crashed their heads together,
CRYING that he would kill them. Re-
leasing themselves they took refuge
at Campbell's drug store, whereupon
Blanchard knocked over the stove
and light and smashed up the fur
niture.
In the early morning Officer Medor
went TO the house, but found it vacant.
Blanchard soon appeared. however,
and struck vicious blow at Medor,
missing him, however. A lively mix
up ensued, at the close of which the
officer was seen escorting his prison
er to the lookup. In the park Blan-
chard again assaulted the officer and
another mix-up ensued, with the
same result as before. At the door
OF the lookup the prisoner broke
away and fled. As he ran Leo
Gauthier took hand in, with football
tactics, and Blanchard crashed head
first against a pair Of stone steps.
Then he was taken to the lookup with
out further incident.
Mrs. Blanchard's injuries are serious.

Feed pale girls on SCOTS

We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer

The fact that it is the best

to why it does what it does.
