POUNDING KILLED DURANT.
Nurse and Physician Give Damaging
Testimony In the Case at Waterbury.


The investigation into the death of
Peter Durant at the state hospital for
insane at Waterbury Nov was completed
Wednesday. Floyd P. Curtis, a nurse,
was the principal witness. He saw
Durant given a bath on the day Of his
arrival and noticed no bruises. The
trouble took place in the dining room
when Durant attempted to rise from his
chair to leave the room. The attendants,
forced him into the chair by his shoulders
and finally both struck him in the chest
and knocked him down. Curtis did not
see Durant use a knife or reach for one
or threaten the attendants in any way.
He thought the chair was knocked from
under Durant The man kept putting his
hands up to his chest while groaning. He
thought that Durant walked out of the
room and did not appear afterward to be
suffering severely. DR.. Henry James Of
Waterbury, who attended Durant, testi-
fed at some length to the bruises on the
mans breast and to the broken bones as
revealed at the post mortem examination.
The bones were very fragile owing to the
patients age, so years, and the force
might not have injured a younger man.
The primary cause Of DEATH he said, was
the blows inflicted. The board Of super
visors made a statement OF the case, in
which they said they considered the evil
dence sufficient in holding Dennis and
Coon, who are now in the county jail at
Montpelier, to await the action of the
grand jury.

Maine May Follow Vermont's Example.
[Springfeld Republican,

The Portland Argus quotes what is said
in a Brattleboro letter to The Sunday Re-
publican about the workings of the new
local option regime in Vermont. There is
growing sentiment in Maine that that
stronghold of the prohibitory law may be
induced to follow the example of Vermont
and New Hampshire. The Portland news
paper also quotes what Gov Bell of YER
mont has said, as follows;
] am a temperance man, and believe in
prohibition, but under the local option law
in Vermont today we have greater area
where actual prohibition exists than ever
was while prohibition was the law Of the
state. The temperance people OF the state
are pleased with the conditions existing
under local option, and do not desire a
change back TO the former conditions.
