Nelson Royston and Marshall S
Bliss, two farmers living on the noun
tain side south of Stevens Mills in
Richford near the Canadian border
died Friday, Nov. "a. probably from
drinking wood alcohol, although there
is said to be a possibility that it was
straight alcoholic poisoning. Royston

by wife and daughter. Bliss was
much older and is survived by wife
and several children. Another vic
tim of the poison, Mrs. LIE Gronde,
died Saturday, Nov. 25. William Pat

The Wilmington Times sees no oc-
casion for the showers of bouquets
which have been thrown at Dr. Grout,
superintendent of the Waterbury in
sane hospital. because he promptly
caused the arrest of the attendants
who abused an aged inmate There is
no occasion for them. Most of the
credit assigned to DR.. Grout in connec-
ton with this deplorable affair. is due
to what his predecessors have not
done rather than to what he has done.
The public is not used to faithful and
intelligent service and may be par
doned for undue appreciation in a
case like this. Dr.. Grout did no more
than his plain official duty in calling
the brutal attendants to account In
fact. it is a question whether. had he
given proper care and attention to the
and instruction of the hos
pital attendants. the assault would |
sver have been committed. But. with |
his evident good intent. the occurrence
will undoubtedly be lesson to him. in
his respect. for future guidance.

All They Want,

Having sought and obtained advice
from the attorney general as to whom
he should invite to the coming execu-
ton of Mary Rogers. Sheriff Peck is
said to have decided TO admit no
newspaper men to the scene.
The attorney generals very sensible
advice to the sheriff was to adhere to
the law. The law does not specify as
to newspaper men, but it does say that
in addition to others mentioned IL
Citizens" shall be invited. These
may or may not include representa-
tives of newspapers. as the sheriff
may elect.
Sheriff Peck has furnished some I'M
pleasant news items to Vermont news
papers during the past year and has
excited. by his official conduct. con-
siderable adverse comment. Perhaps
the reporter at his official functions
and perhaps. as he asserts. he fears
to do injustice to many by admitting
few.
The Vermont public is not anxious
to read the details of the execution Of
Mrs. Rogers and Vermont newspapers
are not anxious to print them. Their |
publication can serve no good pur-
pose. If official assurance can be |
given and endorsed by the witnesses
which the law requires. that the exc
cution has been duly and properly
performed. the public and the press
will find no occasion to quarrel with
the sheriff for shutting newspaper
men out But the people of Vermont
have not unlimited confidence in the
and discretion of Sheriff

Time to Stop.

As was expected by those who are

the Remington murderess. the SUI
preme court of the United States has
refused to interfere In her behalf, de-
Gliding that Il has no jurisdiction In

consider further steps TO take in the
effort TO save her life and that a mys-
terious private paper has been
signed by the murderess at the in
stance of f. b. Finn. one of her at
torneys.
II the purport of the paper relates
to the woman's physical condition, as
has been rumored but which seems
incredible I'm the face of official dec
larations from the prison. then Mary
Rogers will be shown to be. not men,

but shrewder and more long-headed
than any of her custodians. In this

strength of the struggling lads gave

More Trouble for octosenarlan Hulna

Columbus Huling of North Ben
nington. the octogenarian who had
many strenuous experiences in his eff
forts to marry Miss Jennie Bissell the
24-year- old daughter of a neighbor
has been made the defendant in a suit
for a Widows portion of an estate
valued at $4,000, the property of Mr..
Huling's son. Frank ID. Huling, who
died at the Brattleboro asylum about
six years ago. A number of years be-
fore his death the younger Huling had
come into possession of about $4,000
by the will of an uncle in Illinois. A
portion of the amount passed out Of
his possession in the natural course of
events, but the estate. as shown by the
records of the probate Office. settled
for more than $4,000. About seven
married Miss Nellie Clark who at that
time was resident of and now lives
at White Creek. N. Y. The ceremony
was performed at Albany by an or
dained minister named Blanchard, and
the couple lived together at times as
man and wife for a number of years. |
Huling drank heavily and, for time |
before he became an inmate of the /
asylum, was under the re- /
straint of guardian, because of his |
habit. At the time of his death his |
wife was out of the state. having left |
shortly after her arrest for breach of
he peace. When Huling's estate was
icing settled. his father presented
himself at the probate office as the
'nly surviving relative. and secured
he property.
