DOUBLE COSTS
Question Arises at the Invssli CATION Of the

Rutland, May Testimony favor
able to the house of correction was
brought out at yesterdays session OF
the Vermont state penal institution in
vestigating committee which is here to
complete the work begun over two
months ago, Gov c j Bell being pres
ent at the morning session. IL was al
so demonstrated that criminals who
are brought to the institution from
other parts OF the state get much long
er sentences than men who are arrested
in this city, owing to the extra eNpen
ses claimed by the officers making the
arrest.
A man arrested in Rutland for first
offence of intoxication usually has
costs OF about SO attached to his fine,
while If he isarrested in any other
town in the state and sentenced to the
house of correction there is the rail
road fare to be added besides the
board that Is necessary during the
time he serves at the house Of correc-
ton. A man arrested in Bellows Falls
and fined s. and costs would according
to these conditions receive q sentence
OF lust twice the term that Rutland
man would receive for similar OF
Tense and equal fine
Another point that was gone oven
thoroughly was whether or not it was
right for a person arrested and trieo
in same court and on same day for two
separate and distinct oilenses to have
costs for the two attached to his fine
