On the NEXT occasion, when Marie

Justice of the peace, and Rogers and

incarcerated in the county jail.
The post mortem was held Friday
before DIR. ]. M. Allen of st. Johnsbury,
Drs. c. E. Libbey and D. r. Brown OF

of Holliston, Mass. The physicians testi-

to the head. There was nc fracture of
the skull, but an examination OF the
brain showed that the skull had received
heavy blows. The lips were cut, some
a hard blow on the back of the head,
and one finger was either bitten or torn
off. At the inquest which followed
testimony was taken of many of the
neighbors and all attempts to locate the
exact time of Manning's death were
fruitless.
Sheriff Winch, Deputy Sheriff Worthen
and Mr.. Searles made careful examina-
t on of the Labree place and found many
suspicious circumstances which lead the
state to believe that Manning was
murdered in Labree's house and the
body taken out to the pasture Thursday
In the chamber upstairs they discovered
big pool of blood with drops of blood
on the stairs and leading to the outside
door. Manning's hat was found in the
Labree house, hanging on peg, and
Labrees overalls were discovered
despatched with blood. Sheriff Winch
took charge of the head to submit it in
evidence when the case comes up for
trial.
Labree is known to be drinking man
and Rogers has bad reputation
Rogers brother has served five years in
state prison for an assault committed in
Barre. Manning has lived around Dan
vile for the past two years and had
worked at intervals. He was about 40
years old and unmarried. He had a
brother living in Sherbrooke.
Mr.. Searles will assist the states
attorney at the trial and the defendants
have retained r. w. Simonds
