showed marble of good quality down

Harrison Corliss Arrested in Fayston
Murder Case.


The mystery surrounding the
death of Henry Tracy, whose dead
b ,dy was found near the highway
in North Fayston Thursday morn
ing, has been only partially cleared
by the arrest of Benjamin Harrison
Corliss, aged Is years, who admits
firing the shot supposed to have
caused Tracy's death, but the real
motive, and the persons most guilty,
it is believed a. g yet to be discover
ed.
When the body was found the
health officer discovered twenty
eight shot wounds in the shoulders
and back, Que through an ear, and a
fatal wound at the ba; of the brain,
much larger than the others
About 6 80 o'clock, Thursday aft
ernoon State Attorney Yates and
Deputy Shelf Lawson went to-
Fayston and later were joined b,
Sheriff F. FL. Tracy. Suspicion
rested ON Harrison and Valentine
Corliss, brothers, and n cousin, Per
cy Corliss. AT 8 80 O'Clock Thurs
day evening the officers went to the
Corliss house and placed Harrison
under arrest.
AS the Corliss family tell the. sto-
ry groaning or growing noise was
heard Wednesday night. After a
time the boys arose and went out to
investigate. They saw black OBJ
ject in the road and heard growls.
Valentine held the lantern and Har
lison fired, supposing the object
Sc, to be some animal
As far as can be learned nothing
was said of the affuir by the family
until after the body of Tracy was
found Thursday morning.
Young Corliss took his arrest
coolly and chatted and laughed with
the officers He is one of a family
of eighteen children, the father hav-
ing married three times. Harrison
is of more than the average height,
was poorly clad, and did not appear
to be we'll nourished. r.

The woman's suffrage bill easily
passed the House, but the Senate is
likely to kill the bill There seems
to be no strong demand from the
women themselves that they be al
lowed to vote; and until such de
mand is made there is q likelihood of
letting matters rest as they are. No
doubt Mrs A. j. George, wife OF
the professor of English in CLARK
University, Worcester, Mass will
exert considerable influence against
the measure, as she is already i'll
Montpelier as a representative of the
Massachusetts association oppos ed
to the further extension of suffrage
to women, and will urge that for the
sake of the women themselves such
a law will not be adopted. If the
suffrage would make the women
more womanly, there might be but
little opposition to the measure; but
if it would make them more mascu-
line, there is good reason for oppos-
ing it. If the women themselves
do not wish to vote, why insist that
they shall ?

A Murder in Danyil1e.

The town OF Danvllle was thrown
into great excitement Thursday aft
ernoon by the announcement of the
discovery on the farm of Joseph La
bree of the dead body of Edward
Manning near the Labree house,
and the subsequent arrest of Labree
and Arthur Rogers, who are held
on suspicion, as alleged participants
in his death. Labree is a French
man who lives alone on farm two
miles from the village of Danville
and he claims that Manning came
to his house Saturday and some
time Sunday Rogers came there.
The palties sent away for two quarts
of whiskey, and proceeded to drink
it up as soon as it arrived.
Labree said he went to Walden
Tuesday and when be returned home
Thursday morning he found Man
ning's body. He Immediately not
fled the selectmen and they went
to the spot and found the DO ly. It
lay face down on the ground and
by its side was pipe full of tobac-
co and an unlighted match. The
body was decomposed about the
face and had savage cash in the
back of the head, the face and lips
were cut, teeth knocked in and one
finger. nearly cut or bitten off A
hat which was not his own covered
his cad.
The body was taken to Labree's
house by the selectmen and was re-
moved by the officers to the Dan
vile town hall, where a hearing was
held Thursday afternoon before
Ashley j. Goss, justice of the peace
He was unable to ascertain from the
witnesses the movements of Man
ming the past week but no one ex-
cept Rogers and Labree hid seen
him since last week Thursday.
Rogers testified that he saw Man
ming for the last time Tuesday aft
ernoon when he left the Labree
house for parts Unknown and La
bree said he had not seen him since
Tuesday morning when he himself
went to Walden
D'puty Sheriff NJ X. ..Worthen
found several suspicious circum
stances in Labree's house which /
leads him to believe that the murder |
was committed in Labree's house
Tuesday and the ody
carried cut of the house
to the spot where Labree first found
him. There was blood on the bed
in Labree's house and Manning's
hat was found near the bed AS it
rained hard the previous night it is
hardly possible that the bodSiaid in
the grass all night - II
was not wet and 49, Ihe T
pipe was dry as the mace its
side.
Labree is hard dlinker and
Rogers, who lives in the neiyhbor-
ng town of Walden, is a hard char
acter. One of his lroihers had a
i've year prison sentence for an as
,ault at Barre and his nephew has
served in state prison for larceny.
Both Rogers and Labree were
bound up at the hearing to the De
,ember term of Caledonia county
court.
Manning was about 40 years old,
and has brother at

living around Danyille for about

ward the furnishing of the guilty

raking over the nastiness of the dis

the effect that McKenzie's death was due
to dilated heart, and not to the blow re-
