opportunity for sucn farther search
has at last arrived. The ground has
within a few weeks past been sold by
the few remaining members OF the So
ciety OF Free Quakers. who propose to
remove the stones and any remains
discovered beneath the surface to a
rural cemetery. For such remova an
order of court is required; and a petit

Very respectfully,

In reference to the phrase supposed
to be located in the above letter, it
may b. said that the fact of the burial
of Aliens body in the Free Quakers'
burial ground is more tnan a matter
Of supposition, being attestcd by oficial
records and certificates. The exa
whereabouts of his grave in the burial
ground however, is not known, and 'hc
chances are altogether against any dis
covery of a stone or any remains that
can be even probably identified with
Ira Allen. In the even. of any such
discovery the committees appointed by
the governor will. no doub', take pro-
per steps for the removal of the stone
or remains to Vermont.

IMMORTALITY REVEALED.

bellows Falls. Oct. 30.-The prison in
%vestigating resumed sessions
here to-day. The hearing at times was
extremely sensational. the probing re-
vealing conditions of immortality at the
State institution that were shocking in
detail. Acknowledgement Fits who is
conducting tho investigation was obliged
to leave before the afternoon session
closed and that line of inquiry tempor-
arily ceased.
The first witness called to-day was Iina
II. Alboc of this place. a prison director
from 1900 to 1902. His testimony develop
ing nothing sensational and agreed with
that Of most of the other directors.
Mr.. Cakes was called to the stand and
Examined by Acknowledgement Fits. He
was asked about n letter written by Mary
Rogers on toilet paper to ono Of the prison
employees which Miss Durkee had shown
him. MIR. Oakes had no special recollec-
ton Of such a letter but said If Miss Dur
kee made the statement that such IA letter
had been shown him it had. He was ask
cd if he remembered telling Miss purkee
he was sorry that she had destroyed 1t.
| Mr.. Oakes did not remember any such
an occurrence or what the purpOrt of the
letter was. Mr.. Cakes stated that he had
no knowledge at that time OF anything
wrong.
Attorney Fits asked Mr.. Oakes how
! Mary Rogers got possession Of the scis-
sors with which she assisted Vernon
Rogers to pick the lock of her cell. Mr..
cakes said she wanted to cut soise paper
| and asked him for scissors hut he told
her he hadn't any and couldn't allow
her to have them anyway. She obtained
them. however, Of Mr.. Flint, one of the
guards. They were pocket scissors and
blunt pointed. Mr.. Oakc did not think
there was any harm in Mrs. Rogers hav-
ing scissors except she might do herself

HARPIN CR~OSs-EXAMINED.

Eward Harpin, ex-warden Of the prison
who testified early in the cation.
was cross-eXamined by Judge Palmer,
counsel for l. w. Oakes. Judge Palmer
brought out the fact that Harpin went
to the prison as an oflcer with the idea
that he would some time be made super
intendcnt and that he continued to en-
terrain that hope until he was called
be fore the legislative committee at
Montpelier in 1901. When asked why he
took a memorandum book with him to
show the he said he did not
take a memorandum bOok but one little
memorandum about a mileage book which
showed crookedncss ON the part of Mr..
Cakes. he thought. and which he proposed
to use against MIR. Cakes.
In the examination Judge Palmer
brought out that Harpin had very little
personal knowledge of the different
charges made in regard to chicken and
supplies taken to Sunapee, DIR. Bur-
bridges boarding at the prison, meat ana
%Eupplics taken to Woodstock. Judge
Palmer brought up the matter Of iiar-
pins ~disapproval OF a male guard for
Mnry Rogers in the death watch and
that when Mr.. Cakes said Mrs. Meeker
had n male guard in her death watch
Mr.. Harpin said there was no COMPARE
son between the two cases.
The questioning brought out that Mr..
Harpin thought there was no danger in
having n man with Mrs. Meekcr because
she was deaf. old and hideous looking,
but that Mrs. Rogers was more attractive
and that he knew her to no a vicious
woman In her relations with men because
her attorney had told him SO. He thought
he had told Mr.. Cakes Of this but would

Mrs. Annie O'Gorman complained in

whose domicile is divided from her
own by vacant lot 80 feet in width.
has been Mr.. Igoe's wont, Mrs. o'Gor-
man informed Police Judge Mogan, to
deluge her property while pretending
to sprinkle his potato patch. His
house occupies a loftier site than her
residence, on the slope Of Bernal
Heights. but as the intervening soil is
extremely absorbent he could, If so in
clined, saturate his tuber bed without
visiting aqueous affliction upon her.
His malicious intent was demonstrated
by the fact that he conveyed the hose
across the lot and swished the stream
against the wall Of her house, thereby
UNDERMINING the foundation and thus
imperiling the lives of the occupants.

Dialect that strongly belied her name.
Mr.. 1goe denied the impeachment.
His gardening operations, he affirmed,
were confined to the daily sprinkling
of two small rose bushes, and persons
who knew him best could inform the
Judge that he was economical in his
use of water, as in everything else.

tion at short range. that accusation
was simply absurd

Mrs. O'Brien, who sold the OGorman
property to its present owner, testi-
fed it contained a natural spring that
gushed internationally, and that said
spring was probably responsible for
the dampness complained of by Mrs.
O'Gorman. A gentleman who dug the
drain for the foundation of the O'Gor-
man cottage offset this testimony by
swearing that he neverS encountered
any water there other than that which
came from the Igoe garden hose.

Judge, ''and advise you. Mr.. Igoe. to
