MUSICAL COMEDY.
''Wsary Willie Walker at Library Hall Thsater
Tonight.

A high pressure musical comedy Of
vastly massive proportions must it,
deed be "Wearg Willie Walker"
which comes to the Library halllheater
this evening and already the indlca-
tions give reasons to anticipate per-
feet ovation for this attraction.
II is now pretty we'll conceded that
the truly enviable reputation achieved
by this big musical comedy is mainly
due to its enticiug features OF song
rendered by as fine and as big band
of sensational vocalists as ever came
under one banner.
AGING upon the foundation of favor
accorded the music department OF this
unqualified musical comedy hit, the
management has ,his season commit
ed even wider scope for the inierpo-
lations of tuneful surprises.

has been In progress all the week. The
prosecution Is ready 10 submit testi.

The defense will be that Grace
Brown was accidentally drowned. Net
tie Benedict Is expected 20 swear that
she aud Gillette were not engaged aud
that there was no love between them.
Probably the most powerful link In
the chain Of purely cIrcumstantlal evil
dence the state will Introduce Will be
the actions OF Gillette after the drown.

on his way he met two guides, TO
whom he spoke and from whom he
asked directions. He did not tell ell.
Their OF the tragedy. 1t was not until
after his arrest that he said Miss
Brown had tried 10 change places with
him In the boat, when the craft upset
and both were sent into the water.
Dramatic scenes marked the proceed
lngs. When the young prisoner walked
into court he found himself face TO
face with the parents of the dead girl.
This Is the first time they had attend
ed the trial. Young Gillette was visi-
bly, affected. He paled, and his foot
steps faltered for moment. Then he
gazed on the floor and walked on.
Mrs Brown, the mother, clutched
her husbands arm while the latter
glanced at the prisoner.
Gillette lost his calm demeanor, how
ever, when he found himself face to
face with Frances Brown, sister Of
the Big Moose lake victim. She bears
Il striking resemblance to the girl that
was killed, so much so that the sisters
were often taken for twins.
Frances took seat, with her sister
Mary, facing the door through which
the prisoner entered. When Gillette
was brought in and he saw the girl, al,
most a counterpart of his dead sweet
heart, staring at him the young prison
er groaned audibly and covered his
face with his hand. The two sisters
became the cynosure of all eyes, and
they were greatly embarrassed by their
position.
A sensation was caused when one Of
the taTesmen being examined as to his
fitness to serve replied that he believed
Gillette to be guilty.
The talesman was Henry j. Smith of
German Flats. Smith when asked If he
had formed any opinion in the case
promptly answered.:
Yes. He's guilty"
Instantly District Attorney Ward and
the defendants counsel We're on their
feet and appealed to the court to pun
ish the talesman.
Judge Davendorf summoned Smith
before him. The court said:
''If did not believe that you had not
meant to violate the law l should fine
you for contempt of court. Let this be
a lesson to you never to volunteer any
information when being questioned
You are excused from jury duty"
During most of the proceedings Gill
lette maintained smiling demeanor
and chewed gum nonchalantly.

ARRIVES TOO EARLY
Roosevelt Squadron Rsanhss Colon Ahead Of
Time.

COLON, Nov. 15.-The first trip of
an American president outside of the
boundaries of the United States was
successfully concluded here when the
battleship Louisiana, having on board
President Roosevelt and his party,
dropped anchor in the harbor Of Colon.
The Louisiana, which arrived ahead of
schedule time, was conveyed by the
warships Tennessee and the Washing
ton. The three vessels anchored about
mile from the dock during heavy
rainfall.
Owing to the fact that the Louisiana
arrived ahead of time neither President
Amador of Panama nor Chairman
Shonts of the isthman canal commits
sion was on hand to welcome Presi-
dent Roosevelt. They came from Pan
ANA later by special train, boarded the
Louisiana and extended cordial greet
ing to the presidential party. With
President Amador, besides Mr.. Shonts,
were Chief Engineer Stevens and Ex-
ecutive Secretary Reed Of the commits
sion and Mr.. Squiers, the American
minister to Panama.
President Roosevelt received the To-
cal newspaper correspondents on board
the Louisiana and said to them that his
voyage had been pleasant and express
ed himself as gratified at the welcome
which the citizens of the isthmus are
preparing for him when he lands. He
stated that he proposed to look into the
jamaican labor question thoroughly
and also intended TO see everything
possible concerning the canal.
Extensive precautions have been
taken to protect President Roosevelt
during his three days visit on the
sthmus, and it is reported that a num-
her of known anarchists have been ar,
rested here or ut Panama. ;,

INQUEST WAS
CONTINUED
Didn't ThrowMuch Light on
Mcclure Mystery.
TWO MISSING ITALIANS
Were Last Seen With Murdered
Teamster at the State Line
House in P0wnal.

After examining II witnesses yester.
day the Inquest into the murder OF
Thomas Mcclure, whose dead and mu.
tilatod body was found lying In the
bushes near the dugway road In Pow
nal one week ago today, was adjourn
ed I'LL Monday. II was an all day ses-
sion for Judge Bates and Deputy Sher.
IN John Nash, the latter conducting
the inquest In behalf OF the state.
Because the body OF Mcclure had In
all probability been lying where II was
found nearly II no, quite two weeks.
there was little hope that the inquest
would develop much information OF
value at the conclusion OF the session
yesterday. Deputy Nash thought that
there we're one or two clues that might
develop into something as the inquest
progressed.
DR. Benjamin o. Barber yesterday
testified at length regarding the ant.
opsy. He described the wounds and
the mutilalions OF the body and said In
his opinion life had been stamped out
Of the unfortunate teamster before the
knife wounds we're made.
DR. Z. 4. Potter differed from his
fellow practitioner and was OF the
opinion that death was caused by the
stab through the heart.
Three Italian workmen testified 10
the finding OF the body and we're all
agreed that there was no evidence OF
struggle where the body was found and
that there was no blood on the ground.
Arthur G. Parker who was the first
citizen OF Pownal TO see the body testi-
fed regarding the appearances in the
locality and the manner in which the
body lay when found.
Samuel Z. Cummings of Cheshire,
the teaming contractor for whom Nc
Guire worked on the new electric road,
testified that Mcclure went to work for
him September 81 and left his employ
October %. The day before he gave
Mcclure S. and was OF the opinion
that he had no other money. MCGUIRE
spent some OF the money that night and
in the morning showed the effects OF
drinking and did not 90 to work. Dur
ing the day he left the boarding house
and never came back. From Cum.
mings something Of McGuire's early
life was learned.
John Poland, the bartender at the
state line house testified that Mcclure
was in the bar room of the hotel Octo-
Der 18th with two Italians. The three
were drinking ale and Mcclure became
intoxicated so that he went to sleep in
a chair. One of the Italians was
pleasant fellow and the other was of
an ugly disposition. The pleasant
Italian left the house about noon. The
other remained in the bar room and
occasionally picked upon Mcclure who
was half asleep in the chair. About 2
O'Clock MCGUIRE woke up and the two
left the house together, the Italian sup
porting MCGUIRE, and disappeared in
the dugway. Poland was confident
that he would recognize either Of the
Italians should he ever see either OF
them again and was equally positive
that neither of them had been in the
house since that day.

Montpelier, Nov l5:-Senate Door

says that he Is willing TO 20 after the

TO see the color OF the money FIRST. He
says he does not care 10 pay tho ex-
penses and then fnd no cannot collect
the money from the state
He said this morning that he had
no notice from the committee OF their
selecting him except what be has read
In the newspapers. The canyasSing
committee is being severely criticised
for beiog so slack 10 pushing the mat
ter along.
The committee met last night aud
canyassed the other elections coming
before 1t. II is stated that II the money
10 get the Bennington county ballots
cannot be secured any other way the
friends OF Mr Daley will guarantee the
amount.
IL Is beginning TO be questioned here
what would be the status OF the case
provided the Legislature failed 10 can
yass the vote and declare either OF the
candidates elected. The Banner cor
respondent has interviewed several OF
the leading lawyers OF the state on the
matter. All OF them agree that, as
the states attorneys term is expressly
stated by the constitution TO be two
years, Mr. Daley will go out OF Office
December unless the legislature de-
clsres him TO be reelected.
AS TO who would be entitled 10 the
Office the legal authorities disagree.
Some OF them think the Office would be
vacant and that II would devolve on
the assistant judges TO appoint while
others say that as the returns show Mr.
Meagher TO be elected he could take
the Office and defend his title II IL
should be attacked.

tive elected from Woodbury., who was
