.CROTEAUX is
MORE INSANE
East Montpelier Man, Charged
With Murder
is NOW AT STATE ASYLUM
His Case Continued, as Was Also John
Kelley's for Some Reasof-Mat-
thews McCaffrey, Insane, Will
Pay His Own Expenses.

The docket Of Washington county
court is fast being cleared up. and there
now remains but little before the closing
0f the state cases this week When
Judge Rowel discharged the jury yes
terday afternoon, he notified the counsel
that court matters would be taken when
ever presented from that time to Thurs
day, at which time adjournment will
be taken.
The ease Of Matthew McCaffrey was
disposed OF yesterday afternoon, the
states attorney having filed a motion To
bring the ease forward. Mctaffrey was
tried for numbering his wife and child
at Waterbury in 1883 and was found
not guilty by reason Of insanity. He
was placed Ill custody at the Brattleboro
Retreat and was later removed TO the
asylum at Waterbury, being ordered
held at the expense OF the state. Since
that time McCsfrey's pension money
has been accumulating, so that he now
possesses $4,000, Joseph Someryillc Of
Waterbury being guardian. The court
ordered the case brought forward and
the order which made McCaffrey state
charge was vacated. Hereafter McCaf-
frey will pay for his keeping out Of
his own property.
Two other cases. in which the insan-
ity OF the respondents had been estab-
lished, were ordered continued. They
were the cases of John Kelley and II.
Eroteaux. The superintendent at the
asylum reports that both the men are
growing more insane. Crotesux was ar
rested three years ago, charged with
numbering Peter Norran in lonely spot
on the road between Barre and East
Montpelier. The place Of the death Of
NorTan was almost within sight of the
homes of the two men who were neigh
bors and who had had considerable trou-
bic, Croteaux had made complaint that
Norran was trying to poison him. When
arraigned in court Croteaux' sanity was
questioned and he was ordered placed
in the Waterbury asylum. Later a
report came from that Institution that
the man had hallueinations. His trial
was therefore continued, as it has been
since.
Another ease continued was that OF
STATE vs. Burton Keith, adultery, be-
cause of the absence OF an important
witness FOR the prosecution. Bail was
fixed at $500 and was furnished by the
respondents counsel, John w. Gordon
and John n. Harvey.
States Attorney jackson mol pressed
the case against Groom, a young man
who was charged with larceny of $40
at Waterbury, because of lack af eyi-
denee, and joint case of Groom with
Marsh was also crossed or the doc
ket. Marsh was recently convicted OF
larceny. Mittimnsses were issued by
the court to take William Northrop OF
Barre and J. G. Worcester OF Mont
pciier to the house of correction to- serve
sentences. the former for petty larceny
and the hitter for selling liquor.
In recognition OF the many courtesies
that bad been extended to them by

FOR HIS DECISION
Is Assured by Friends That
He Would Have an Equal
Chance and Feels Certain
He Would Have Better
Chance.

Mortified, April 17.--Frank Plumley'
Of this place declines to enter the con-
test for the Republican nomination for
Congress from the second district, thus
leaving Gov. Bell and Congressman Has
kins to fight it out in the convention.
His deeination was annouced today. In
il Mr.. Plumley states that it was his
ambition to so to Congress, but that
he finds it impossible for him to allow
his name to be used His letter is
as follows:
Il am assured by good judges Of po-
litical conditions abou, the state that
were | to become candidate for Con
gerss in the second district at this time
my chances of success would be at least
equal to the Others. j am sangiine
enough to believe that they would be
superior But neither Success nor de-
feat has a part in affecting my settled
purpose. Reasons which are purely and
wholly personal compel me 10 state that
shall not enter the canvass this year.
My cherished ambition for political pre-
ferment in the present is crushed and
dead, and it is simply impossible for me
TO take any active part in a political
campaign Of this character.
nBeing thus circumstanced, cannot
ask my friends to give me their support,
and reluctantly renouaec my long time
aspirations and decline to enter the field
rs candidate.
'sTo the many friends in different
sections Of the district who have roIun-
tecred their support and to the large
number OF voters whom have reason
to believe would be pleased to see me
their representative in Congress, | am
profoundly grateful and apmeciative. To

treated NY name in this relation with
consideration beyond my desert, | re-
turn heartfelt thanks through the medi-
um OF the News.
