The GuildhalI Murder Trial is
Nearly Ended.
TESTIMONY OF DEFENSE.
Feature Of It That Lyons. the Man
Killed, Was Violent, Even Dangerous
Many Witnesses Testified to
That aFct.

Guildhall, April 1.-THE defence for
Reuben Bronson, at the opening OF court
yesterday afternoon, had considerable
difficulty in introducing testimony, the
purpose Of which was to show the past
record OF Charles Lyons, the man who
was shot. The counsel fought bitterly
over the points, and while the defense
succeeded in working in much evidence,
it clearly fell short Of its desire.
John Youngcliss, city marshal of Ber-
lin, N. H., James Woodward, deputy
sheriff Of Coos county, n. H., Walter
Philbrook, first selectman Of Dummer,
Newell Davis special officer at Milan,
n, H., Fred w. Heller, former sheriff of
Coos county, all testified that Charles
Lyons was violent, quarrelsome and dan
gerous.
James Baker, a 14-year- old lad, was
next called, and testified that he lived
IN the house with his father, on the
opposite side OF the river from the
Bronsons, and near, but not in, the
Bronson or Lyon houses. On the night
Of the shooting he heard the shots and
went to the windows. He saw two men
with revolvers. One bullet struck against
the bridge. The shots appeared to be
coming from the direction of the Bron-
son house toward the bridge. He heard
something else after the shots. The
witness identified revolver shown him
as one he had found in the river near
the bridge three weeks after the sounds
had been heard There were six empty
shells in the chambers when he found
it. He said that neither man he saw
walked lame. Cross examined, the wit
ness said he could not recognize either
man he saw.
Eddie Paul, aged 10 years, was the
youngest witness and the little fellow
was on the stand for nearly an hour,
most Of it during cross-examination
which was constantly interrupted BY
the respondents counsel. The boys
story, which remained intact after Tie
examination, was to the effect that his
mother il present wife of the respondent
He left the Bronson home some time
before the shooting affray. He knew
MIR. and Mrs. Lyons and used to run
errands for the latter. She showed the
witness q revolver, which she took from
q bureau drawer. The revolver had
black handle. At one time the witness
that there were three worn-
en-, members of the Lyon household, one
the wife and Lizzis, and third woman.
The witness said Reuben Bronson had no
revolver, to his knowledge, and testi-
fed as to the discussion between Ly-
one and Reuben over the dogs. Attorney
General Fits put much effort into his
attempt to shake the boys story Of the
dog fight, in his cross examination
Reuben did not say anything about
shooting Charlie during the discussion
about the dogs.
1t is expected that the defence will
slose its case some time tomorrow. The
prisoner will take the stand in his
own behalf. It may be said that the
will introduce exhibits to
strengthen his claim that the pistol
shots were fired toward the Bronson
louse.

FIVE MEN DROWNED.
Attempted to Cross Hudson River in a
Frail Craft.

Poughkeepsie, N. III, April 11.--1ame.

Barrytown, started across the Hudson
river in row boat at that place last
night with six Polanders ana before
reaching the other shore the boat cap

ers were drownd
The party Of polanders arrived at
Barrytown from Albany and were bound
for Ulster Landing, directly opposite
Barrytown. The little steamer that was
to have conveyed them across the river
had departed and as there were no large
boats in the water, Malloy offered to
take them to their destination IN his
skiff, q small boat that was not cap
able OF carrying three men without dan
ger Of being sunk. The polanders ae-
eepted the invitation Of Malloy and all
six got into the little skitf, making a
crew Of seven men.
A strong flood tide was running and a
heavy wind blowing from the north,
making the river exceptionally rough.
When the boat was about two-thirds of
the way across the river the people on
the Barrytown shore heard cries and
shrieks for help and Immediately real
lied that something had happened. Two
young men, sons of Nathan Griffin of
Ulster Landing, put out in a row boat
and succeeded in resctiing two OF the
Polanders who were found clinging to
the keel of the overturned skiH. They
were taken ashore and stated that four
Of their eonntrymen and an American
had been drowned.

TELEPHONE SYSTEM
CAUSE OF GRIEVANCE
Merchants Association Takes Up Dis.
cussion on That, Also Passenger
Fare Discrimination-Tired
of line Is Busy"

a'
Overlooking Of telephone lines and
passenger fare discrimination were The
subjects discussed at the regular meet
ing Of the Merchants association last
evening. There was large attendance.
II is claimed the telephone company ii
overlooking its lines to such an extent
the service Is very poor in consequence
and that it is seldom one calls for d
number but that the answer IS: @Line
is busy" After considerable discussion
the matter was left to the grievance
committee to consult with the Granite
Manufacturers association in regard to
what measures should be taken to REM
edy the evil.
The railroad passenger rate discrim-
ination which was discussed is briefly
this: The fare from Barre to Mont
peiier il 10 cents, or the round trip 20
cents. A round trip ticket from Mont
pelier to Northfieid and return is As
cents or the Barre and Montpelier and
Montpelier and Northfeld on Waterbury
trips combined is SIS cents. But the fare
from Barre to either Northheld or Wa.
terbury and return is IS cents, dis
elimination Of 20 cents in favor OF
Montpelier.
Why Barre should pay 20 cents extra
when she wants to 90 direct TO either
place. or why people from either place
should pay 20 cents extra when they
want to come direct to Barre, is the
question that is agitating the merchants,
and it will be canvassed with the gran
ite manufacturers association to see
what can be done about it.
