ANTHONY HASWELL.
More Interesting Facts Brought Out In Letter
From DR. Day.

Editor of the Banner:-A cOrrespon-
dent in Tuesdays Banner makes sew
eral correction in the article the Ban
ner copied from the special edition
that the Rutland Herald printed last
week in commemoration OF its 10th
anniversary-the corrections in ques-
ton relating to several important
events in the life of Anthony Haswell
The writer says that lit was prev
ious to the establishment Of the YER
mont Gazette at Bennington in May
1888, that for a short time Anthony
Haswell published paper in Rutland
and not after retiring from office. "
The first issue of the Gazette appear
ed June 3 1888 and not in May of that
year as the correspondent allirms.
The Vermont Gazette had been issu-
ed at Bennington for nine years be-
fore Mr. Haswell undertook the publ.
cation of paper in Rutland. Gov
Hiland Hall in the Vermont Historical
Magazine says: SIN the Simmer OF
1892, Mr. Haswell started a paper in
Rutland called the ''He raid of YER
MONT of which the 18th and l4th
number was printed ready to be dis
tributed the ensuing Monday, but
fire on Sunday evening of September
81, destroyed the office and most of the
paper. The Legislature, which met in
Rutland few weeks afterward, grant
ed him a lottery by which he was al
lowed to raise 5000, as compensation
for his loss, from which, however, he
never derived any pecuniary benefit. "
The correspondent further says:
"As regards the fine under the sedit-
ion act of 1913, it was RENTED by the
United States by act of Congress, in
stead OF by the state, in lS45 or 1916. "
1t is true the fine was refunded by act
of Congress because Mr. Haswell's Of
fence was against a statute of the
United States, but the fine was recov-
ed in 1874
Upon this point the Vermont Gaz-
cite of July 1914 says: "Forty-four
years "a 20 this day our hUnOred grand
father, Anthony Haswell, editor of
the Vermont Gazette, was liberated
from Jail after having been confined
two months and paying S262.33 fine
and costs under the sedition act. His
heirs and legal representatives tender
their thanks to the present Congress
Of the United States for the law of the
18th of June, lS44, refunding to them
the fine, costs and interest"

Convicted of Trying to Poi
son Sanford Hicks.
COURT NADJOURNED
Takes a Recess Until Tuesday,
Dec. II, When Will Case
Will Be Tried.

The jury in the Sargood case at 2:15
this afternoon returned verdict of
guilty of attempting to poison San
ford Hicks and wife and court then
took a recess until Tuesday, Dec q.
The Sargood case was given to the
jury at 1870 this morning, the argu-
ments and the charge to the jury oc-
cuping the attention of the court near
ly all the time yesterday afternoon
and an hour and half this morning.
This is probably the last of the Ar
lington poisoning cases to be heard.
Robert Bonn is on the docket for per-
jury but it is doubtful if he is even
tried.
The next case to be tried in county
court is the Nahum Wheelock will case
from SALISBURY which was tried here
December 1902 and comes back from
the supreme court for another trial
The case involves the distribution of
some SIS, 900 left by the late Nahum
WheelOck. Mr. Wheelock was Grip
Pile and had an impeachment to his
speech which made it difficult for him
to make himself understood. On this
account he was thought by many to be
unidentified or of unsound mind and
he was under guardianship when the
will was executed.
The attorneys in the case are q. NJ
Barber, f. C. Archibald and J. l.
Martin of Brattleboro in support of
the will and j. X. Batchelder and W.
B. Sheldon for the contestants
The verdict of the county court TWO
years ago was in favor of the will.
The attorneys for the contestants took
exceptions to the failure of the Judge
to charge the jury that the fact that
Whee!ock was under guardianship at
the time the will was made was prima
facie evidence of his incapacity to
make a will. The supreme court sus-
tanned this exception and sent back the
case.
The will was made in 1888, some
years before his death. 1t disposed
of an estate of about sl2, 900 which has
increased since. Requests were made
to Frank Sheldon of Springfield, Mass
and Mrs Angelina Becker of Shafts
bury. According to the terms of the
will, the balance including the farm,
and some $4,000 in cash were willed to
Miss Ella Galusha, $1,000 to be expend-
ed in completing her musical educa-
ton. Miss Galusha is now Mrs Her
bert Burgess of this village. She was
a distant relative of the old man and
had always been kind to HIM and ser
we'd him in many ways.
A contest was Immediately started by
Mrs Levi Smith of Boston and Mrs
Mabel Lifman of Mauch Chunk, Pa,
who we're the legal heirs. When the
will was before the probate court the
Judge favored the contestants and
would not probate the document. The
case went to the unity court with the
result as above.

NEW YORK. Dec. 22-At the trial
Of Nan Patterson for the murder of
Caesar Young. bookmaker. adjourn
ment was taken in the case shortly be-
fore 6 o'clock last night at the con
clusOn of the summing up for the
prosecution by Assistant District At
torney Rand. ON the opening of court
this morning Judge Davis charged the
jury, who will probably return a YER

After Mr.. Rand's speech Mr.. Levy
said:
That was the most wonderful adj
vocacy of any cause, the most master
full speech, that ! have ever heard in
criminal case in an experience in the
courts of Wenty-four years.
in spite of that | am confident that
Miss Patterson will he acquitted"
At the opening of the trial Mr. I'm
ger of the defendants counsel moved
that the defendant he discharged I'M
der section 40 of the code which pro-
vides that justice may take the case
from the jury if he believes that the
prosecution has not established case.
This motion was promptly denied by
Justice Davis, and then Mr.. Levy open
ed his concluding address TO the jury.
in which he set out TO prove by deduc-
ton that Nan Patterson did not muir
Ger Caesar Young, but that the book

He made strong speech, at the end
Of which Nan Patterson embraced her
father and wept
The whole afternoon was taken up
oy Mr.. Rand in his final speech to the
fury. Rarely have judge and jury lis
tened TO more impassoned. more We
hement, arraignment OF a defendant.
With all the power OF his forceful elo-
quence the prosecutor, his face stern,
his eyes implacable, scourged the girl
maker, Young, With pitiless detail he
held up her character for the jury to
behold and asked if a woman like her
could have any other love than that OF
the beast for the beast"
The girls counsel did not escape, and
Mr. Rand declared that there were
those among her lawyers who would
not hesitate TO bring forward false wit
nesses." When he said this and offer
cd TO back il with proof there was a
eommotion in the courtroom.
With burning phrases Mr.. Rand went
over the evidence offered by the de
Tense. Some of it he characterized as
merely futile and vague, some of it be
branded as false.
This stony hearted cool masked
avenger" and this actress. whose CON
ceit makes her glad TO go on the stand
and tell her story" were some of the
terms the prosecutor used in speaking
Of the chorus girl
Smith and his wife, the brother-iu-
law and sister Of the defendant. Mr..
Rand held up to execration. He de
nounced their dight and limited that
they had lived on the shame of this |
Perhaps the most impressive part OF |
his speech was where he tried to CON |
vince the jury that Young could not |
possibly have shot himself Holding |
the fatal weapon in his hand. Mr. Rant |
used it to show that in no position |
could it have been held by the dead
man to infict the wound that killed |
him.

P. P. BERKLEY,
Very Popular Candidate for Sur,
VeVOr.

Pearley B. Berkeley, candidate
for County Surveyor on the Pro-
hibition and Democratic tickets,
is a bright, intelligent, Christian
gentleman worthy of the high
est admiration Of all parties. He
will be 20 years of age the Sth
day of next December, and while
he is young in years, he has made
use Of every opportunity to pre-
pare himself for future useful
ness. Although his father died
when he was but 3 years Of age,
and he has practically been
obliged to fight life's battles
lone-handed, yet he has been
able to secure a good common
school education. He has had
fine experience as a surveyor as
a member of Col. Benton S corps
of surveyors, and has shown by
his work that he is peculiarly
talented in that profession. He
has taken a course as prescribed
by the Armour Institute of Tech
theology to further prepare HIM
self for. the office to which he as
pires. No one can but say he
is we'll qualified to be the next
surveyor of Tyler county, and it
remains to be seen whether or
not the people of Tyler county
will lay aside political pref udlce
and elect him. thereby assisting
him to prepare for future posi-,
bilities.
