Bartlett Case at Last Comes
To Head
ALL WAIVE EXAMINATION
Are Held Without Bail to Await
Action Of the Grand
Jury.

After laying 90 jail for almost
month FOR tie state 20 gather all the
evidence, the four boys Johnson
Wonderland, Edward Sweet. james w
Kelly and Fred Deboll were brought
before Judge Bates charged with nur-
der To- The first degree through causing
the death Of Fred Bartlett Of North
Bennington on the morning OF April
30.
The warrants charge the four young
men with having with "malice and pre-
meditation" assaulted with force and
caused the death Of Bartlett. The boys
pleaded rot guilty and waived exami-
nation aud are held without BAR TO
await the action Of the grand jury
which will meet at Manchester week
after next.
States Attorney Daley appeared for
the state o. NJ. Barber for Wonder
land and G.. a. Maurer for the other
three. The boys appeared pale and
frightened, but the paleness was
az least partially due 10 their long
confinement.
The evidence IN the case shows that
the four boys we're the last ones with
Fred Bartlett and that they left his
dead body at the bank at North Ben
nington. The autopsy and the exami-
nation at the state laboratory show
that Bartlett died from blow on the
head Frank Green and Ralph Clark
OF North Bennington, who have been
in jail held as witnesses will probably
be released. Ex-Mayor John D. SPELL
man OF Rutland is here today in the
interest OF Clark. Their bail was fixed
at 500 each which they will secure.

There was nothing sentimental about
his method Of securing an mswerving
devotion to his interests from those who
carried out his plans. In personal mag
nctism the little Scotchman is utterly
deficient and is endowed with few OF

a power among his fellows. II was be-
cause he made his service so profitable
to them that Carnegie's lieutenants
yielded him such an undivided and dog
