DESP0NDENCY GIVEN
AS CAUSE OE CRIME
Financial Troubles and Fear
of Not Getting Reappoint-
ment Are Ascribed-- De-
ceased Leaves a Widow
and Two Children.


Montpelier, Sept rs. Lying III his of-
flee in the Union block, with i rope
around his neck, the body of City judge
Charles =. Woodward was found this
forenoon shortly before nine o'clock, life
having been extinct about half an hour
before the rope was cut, which suspended
the body a few inches above the floor.
The cause of the suicide was despon.
dency over financial matters and the fear
OF losing his position as city Judge
through the change in the state admins
tration. Judge Woodward had been act
ing strangely for several days and had
told his troubles to several of his friends.
City Sherf Charles DeForrest Bancroft
was the one to find the body. He went
to Judge Woodward's office which is next
to the room used as city court cham
Der. Upon opening the door he saw the
body lying almost on the floor Before
cutting il down he called to Dr. George
r. Hunt and Dr. G. Il. Hunt who occupy
offices in the same block, and III. Il.
Chase. He then ran 10 the Office of
Mayor r. M Cory. When Sheriff Ban
croft shut Judge Woodward's Office door
the spring lock caught and the Drs. Hunt
were unable to open it until Sheriff BAN
croft got back from Mayor Corr's store.
Then the door was unlocked and the
body was cut down. That was three to
five minutes after the body was found.
All efforts to reusliitate him were OF no
avail, the physicians declaring that death
had ensued probably half an hour previ-
GUS. The body was removed to Glea.
sons undertaking establishment.
On the table was a letter addressed.
TO my enemies and to those | have as
sisted and who are now against me- the
contents Of which are withheld. Another
letter was found in his pocket addressed
to his wife.
The suicide was deliberately planned.
a rope about the size Of a window cord
was used. The moose was allowed To
fall nearly to the floor, being supported
from a clothes hook The body was par
tally in a reclining position. Judge
Woodward had talked with several law
yers Of the city regarding the city Judge
appointment, and TO them lie had ex-
pressed his dependency over the pros

of the value and amounts Sf the mer-
ehandise which has been exported and
imported through the District Of Yer
mont, aud the duties assessed and col.
lected on imports A glance at the foot
ings is sufficient to indicate that an
enormous amount Of merchandise passes
through the Green Mountain state yearly

These duties are paid as soon as the
merchandise enters the country Includ-
ed IN the above valuation are both clas-
ses Of merchandise, one on which duties
are levied and the other which enters
free of duty. Large as this importation
Is. however, it does not include the vast
amount Of merchandise which is shipped
from Canada through Vermont to ports
in the United States to be sent abroad.
Duties are assessed on this class but not
collected, being cancelled as soon as il
leaves the country.
Other notable figures are found III the
amount of merchandise exports through
the United States through this district.
The total amount for the fiscal year was
sll,224, a67.
The principal articles imported dun
ing the year upon which no duties were
levied included the following manu-

No Foundation To Campaign
Charge
OF MILKING THE STATE
Investigating Committee Has Completed
Its Work But Are Not Agreed on
Kind Of Report to Be Presented
to the Public.

Montpelier, Sept 2s. The joint com
mittee OF Democrats and Republicans.
which was chosen to 90 over the audit
or's vouchers to find the truth OF falsity
of the charge that Charles J. Bell, gov
ernor- elect of the state Of Vermont had
oyercharged the state as cattle commits
sioner, and secretary of the board of az
riculture, has completed its work of in
yestigation and nothing now remains but
70 make a report of the findings. This
is expected tonight, and there may be
two reports, one from the Republican
members Of the committee and the other
from the Democratic members. Up to
the present time the men Of opposite
political affiliations have not been able
to agree upon the kind Of report to Be
made public
All last evening UP to eleven o'clock
the committee was in session trying to
reach an agreement upon the kind Of d
report TO present. Not having agreed
they set this evening at S o'clock as the
time for another meeting. Tt is scarcely
probable that the same report will be
endorsed by both the Republicans and
the Democrats. 1t is certain, however,
that the investigation leaves Mr.. Bell
without the shadow Of suspicion. He
has been completely exonerated of the
charge brought against him by the Dem
ocratic campaign committee during the
last campaign. Every member of the
committee is willing to admit that the
charges sent broadcast through the state
during the last campaign that Mr.. Bell
had been milking the state treasury Is
entirely unsupported by his vouchers and
that the charge grew out Of errors in the
printed report Of the State Auditor for
the years Of 1901 and 1902.
1t was decided Monday night that the
statement that Mr.. Bell had included too
many days in his per diem account for
two years was wrong, and on this matter
a report was expected. But the Demo
cratic members of the committee wanted
to investigate the reasonableness Of some
of the items, such as hotel, mileage, tel.
egraph, telephone and postage This was
satisfactory to all and the work was
started at once, the Republican members
of the committee insisting that every
voucher should be examined. When the
investigation was completed, it Is re-
ported that a discrepancy in two cents
IN the charge for telegram was found.
The Democratic members of the COM
mittee held out that two Of the expense
accounts included in the II in question
were not sworn to as provided by law
and they also believed that there should
be vouchers for all expense accounts.
Act 126 of the laws Of 1896 provides
that every official shah render a sworn
statement of his services and expenses
and that on such sworn statement the
state auditor shall allow his accounts.
With the two exceptions named Mr..
Bells vouchers were not only sworn to,
but they were approved by Governor
Stickney
The committee was well nigh exhaust
cd when it adjourned last night, after
i continuous session Of So hours.
