ATTORNEY GENERAL CRITICIZED
Montpelier Journal Thinks he shouian /
Howe Anneared as Private Attorney.

The criticism of Fuller c. Smith, now
an railroad commissioner, for appear
inc before his own tribunal as a
private attorney, seems to be general
excent in the gentleman s home town.
1t ought to be a rule of the state II
it is not already, that officials occupy
ing judicial or semi-judicial once
should refrain from appearing IN thelf
private capacity as advocates IN any
cause. The state ought to pay such
officials enough to command their Whoie
time If there is not enough work TO
make that possible, some consolidation
ought to be affected.
With some show of reason, cores
nondent of the Boston Herald also
criticized Attorney General Clarke =
Fits for appearing before the commit
tee on municipal corporations OF inc
recent legislature and pleading the
cause of the Crowell water works III
Brattleboro. mn
The excuse is made that Mr.. Fits
was counsel for Mr.. Crowell long before
he became encouragement, but 1t was
certainly a singular situation that de-
veloped when the representatives from
that village appeared before the com
mittee and tried to show cause why
thew should not be compelled to buy
something of doubtful value.
They were confronted by the ofhclal
LEGAL wisdom of the state of Vermont
in the person of the encouragement
not present in an advisory capacity
but frankly drawing every string FOL
the benefit of his private client and
coolly admitting that he was retained
by the latter.
Will any one claim that under sucn
conditions, the encouragement would
have been competent to give the com
mittee or the protesting citizens from
Brattleboro his official opinion on
any matter of law involveda Certainly
they were entitled to ask and should
have been entitled to receive it.
In the two instances cited, con-
siderable breach of official decorum
took place. Perhaps no one suffered
Perhaps it is too much to ask attor-
news of the unquestionable ability OF
Messrs. Smith and Fits to limit then
private practices when they are act
ing as state officers, but certainly II
Mr.. Smith was deserving of the Of

of Charles Gilmore, while she was en-
tertaining friends last Monday night

The young bride, hearing voices out
side the house, and thinking that more
guests were arriving, went to the front
door to welcome them. She saw group
of men a short distance from the door
way and spoke to them but received no
reply. Suddenly, as she stood there,
two shots were fred at her in rapid
succession from the darkness, one caus-
ing a compound fracture of her arm
lust below the right shoulder, while
the other struck her sister-in- law, Mrs,
Henry Gilmore in the left shoulder.
The latter s wound is not severe but
that of the bride is more serious.
No effort was made at the time. of the
shooting to pursue the assailant, but
Tuesday the officers, acting on state
ment made by one of the men who
were outside the house, arrested An
drew Farrell, young farmer The
weapon used is said to have been rifle
of large caliber, carrying heavy home
made bullets. Mrs. Gilmore is 10 years
old and her husband is 20.
Farrell was taken to the house Of

an indication of the general prosper
