Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1905-06-23

Attention is again called to the fact
that the Pearson recital for this year
will be given on the Friday evening
preceding the Commencement week,
instead of the evening of Glass Day as
in former years. The selection of the
author on this occasion, Joel Chandler
Harris, is an unusually inviting one.
While Mr.. Pearson's Middlebury
audience discovered years ago that he
renders in most felicitous manner every
phase of character which he undertakes
to portray, yet his interpretations of the
negro life have been felt to be particular
ly fortunate. One may have read many
times with keen enjoyment the "Tar
Baby" or "Minervy Ann" but it is
perfectly safe to say that we shall come
away from the reading of tonight with
an entirely new appreciation of "Uncle
Remus' and other picturesque characters
of the Southern life. The tickets will
be on sale at the church at 1880 p. IN.
Reading will begin at eight.

with simple assault, pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to serve not less than
three months nor more than four
months in the House of Correction at
Rutland
No other cases being ready for trial
a recess was taken at o'clock to 8
o'clock Friday morning
Friday morning the case of State VS..
Harry Mccormick was got started. In
this case the charge of Jail breaking
was made and the offence was alleged
to have been committed on the night
of the Both of last month, Memorial day.
Mccormick had been in Jail here since
some time in January on a charge of
forgery, having been arrested at Ian
caster, n. H., on that charge when on
his honeymoon trip and requisitioned
back to Vermont. States Attorney
Russell got former States Attorney
Bliss of Middlebury to assist him in the
case and former States Attorney Frank
L. Fish of Vergennes was assigned by
the court for the defence, the respond
ent being entitled under the law to
counsel upon his representation that he
was unable to employ counsel
1t was the full intention of the
counsel on both sides to find out Just
how Mccormick did escape from Jail
and the court gave them the widest
latitude that the laws of evidence and
the rules of the court would permit in
that direction, and this liberty went to

the extent of allowing the States coun-
sci to cross examine their own wit
nesses.
The facts of the case, as developed on
trial, may be stated in this way some
time between one o'clock at night of
May 9th and 4:30 o'clock in that same
morning Mccormick got out of Jail
without breaking out otherwise than
technically. Deputy Sheriff and Jailor
VIM. H. Cobb testified that he was
in the Jail at the aforementioned hour
and had disappeared at the latter one,
when he went down to see if every
thing was all right, as was his early
morning custom. He found the doors
leading into the belly of the Jail un-
locked these doors being a wooden door
from the latticed-crib in the east part
of the Jail through which prisoners
were taken into the crib and thence
through blind door and grated iron
door down steps into the main room
of the Jail. Also brass key in the
inside of the door coming in from the
north side was found in the lock of the
door which he had not seen there and
thought could not have been there when
he retired. Mr.. Cobb was on the stand
the greater part of the forenoon and
the States Attorney with the assistance
of Judge Bliss, kept driving the probe
into him as though he were the perscr II
on trial instead of Mccormick. 1t was
shown from his testimony that on the

Sunbaths For
Babies

Parents owe to their children above
all else, except moral training, sun
shine and air. To state the fact is suffi-
cient. This winter has kept little ones
housed almost continuously. To give
them the benefit of the early spring
sunshine is duty as well as
pleasure.

 REAL ESTATE MARKET

The week in the local real estate mar ket opened yesterday with an unusually quiet market. The number of transfers in local real estate filed in the probate court was very small, and but one deal was for an amount over $100O This was from the Birmingham Realty company to Addie E. Colvin. part of lots and 8, block 697, the consideration being $1500.
 When asked about the condition of the local real estate market and the prices of local real estate yesterday, one of the local real estate agents replied that while the market was not in a very active on- dition at the present that 1t would un- doubtedly grow more active as the week advanced. and that the prices were in as good condition as could be expected at the present time.
 A building permit was issued by the building inspector to the Phelan estate for the erection of a two-story frame dwelling on Fourteen avenue, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, south, at the cost of 5000.

 Pfeiffe in the Bronx.

 "Oh, that's what they generally are hunting men for"
 His hand was bandaged and he &C., counted for this by saying he had been bitten by horse. The man would give no name and said only that he had been working for a neighboring farmer. This farmer, 1t Is said, denies ever having seen the man.

SKILLED SURGEON
 DESSECTED BODY
FURTHER LIGHT IS THROWN ON MYSTERIOUS FINDING OF A WoMAN's BODY IN SUIT CASE IN BOSTON.

Boston, September 25-The official au- topsy on the woman's body found in Win throp harbor in a suit case last week, which was made public today, declares that the victim died from septic perito- nitis following a criminal operation. Stress is laid by the medical examiner on what he believes to be fact that the body of the woman was dissected by person unusually skilled in surgery. The medical examiner also gives it as his belief that the woman was between Is and 25 years of age.
 The womans hair, the medical exami- ner says. was of 8 light brown color. The long hair from the head found on the oil cloth in which the torso was wrapped also showed that she was a blonde. The removal of the woman's head, arms and legs was accomplished by cuts cleanly made, and after death. Two incisions found in the torso itself and made possi- bly, for the purpose of determining the cause of death were also made after life had become extinct.
 The weight of the torso was 59 pounds ounces. The appearance of the skin and the torso in general indicate that death and dismembership had occurred not much more than twenty-four hours before the discovery of the trunk. It is regarded probable that the body had not been in the water more than eleven or twelve hours, and improbable that the suit case and contents sank and remained under water any length of time. With the head and limbs absent, the lungs would give a buoyancy to the body in- consistent with any submerging. The stomach and practically all the intestines had been removed. The waist measure ment of the woman was 2515 inches. In conclusion Dr. Harris said that "every- thing shows that the knife was in the hands of a skilled man, familiar with anatomy and surgery; indeed, of man of rather unusual aL-- y."
 The mystery of the woman's death has not been lifted in any way since the finding of the body.

Equitable Directors Are Not Over
 Hasty In Responding.

New York September 25.-State Attor- ney General Mayer announced today that thus far he had received but one individ- ual answer from any of the directors of the Equitable Life Assurance society in the suits he has, brought against the so- ciety and its directors, for an accounting of the society's funds.
 This director who answered took the ground that whatever wrong doing there might have been on the part of other directors he, at least, was ignorant of anything wrong.
 Attorney General Mayer has extended the time in which the directors may an- swer the suits against them to October 16.
