WILLIAMS DEFEATED VERMONT
Benningtonians Root for the Wearers
of the Gold and Green.

Between 70 and 100 persons from
Bennington went to Williamstown
Saturday afternoon TO witness the
football game between the Williams
college and the University OF Vermont
football teams A special car was run
direct from Bennington to Williams.
town to accommodate the people from
the village and the regular 1870 car
was also filed with people on their
way to the game.
The crowd from Bennington. the
Burr and Burton football team from
manchester which was intending to
play the Williams freshmen after the
big game. and about a dozen o. " NJ
graduates from Schenectady made a
good aggregation of rooters to en-
courage the Green Mountain state
team. They didn't chance. however,
for much enthusiasm during the first
half of the game. Williams had by
far the heavier team and on the rain
soaked field the lighter men from Bur
lington were ut disadvantage, VIII
Iiams scored two touchdowns and one
goal in the first half, making the
score IL to 0. In the second half
Vermont took the aggressive. The
backs even went through the heavy
Williams line for good gains and by
a beautiful forward pass scored a
touchdown. The goal failed. The
rain fell faster and faster as the game
progressed and the slippery ball was
fumbled by both teams. Near the
close of the half Williams secured
another touchdown and goal. making
the final score l6 to s. The game was
clean gentlemanly contest from start
to finish. Williams was penalized
time and again for off-side play, but
there was no kicking. The game was
not nearly so good as it would have
been had the weather conditions been
right, but the Bennington party
| thoroughly enjoyed the contest and
there were frequent expressions of
opinion that on dry field the wearers
of the green and gold would make the
purple go some to win. II was gener-
ally conceded that in football general
ship Vermont was the equal If not the
better team. The heavy forwards won
the game for Williams, most of the
ground.gaining being made on plunges
through the line.

proclamation designating today u legal
holiday In Oregon and announced that
he would declare each succeeding day

FAIRBANKS TRIAL
IS NOW IN ITS
THIRD WEEK
Degeneracy Found in Grafton
Community
A CONFESSION IS CLAIMED
Reported That Prisoner Told Minister
and Nurse When He Thou Oh He
Was Dying.

Brattleboro, Nov 3.--The third week
in the trial of William Fairbanks Of
Grafton charged with the murder of
Mary Grout of Saxtons River will open
at Newfane tomorrow. The end of the
trial probably will be reached this
week. although not as early as was ap-
parent a few days ago.
The defense may ask for a continu-
ance If the evidence which the state IN
tends to produce tomorrow afternoon
through Miss Elsie p McClosky, super
intendent of the Brattleboro Memorial
hospital, makes it appear necessary to
summon witnesses now out of the
state.
The testimony of witnesses from
Grafton has shown that there exists In
that town an element of the lowest
type to be found in any civilized COM
munity and that an insiduous disease
exists there to an alarming extent.
There is no question but that Fair
banks is far below the average person
in intellect.
Judge L. w. Gibson of this town,
chief counsel assigned by the state to
defend the prisoner, says he has been
able to get very little information from
Fairbanks and that much that Fair
banks has told him has proven to be
without any basis of truth. 1t is es-
timated that the trial will cost the
state $4,000.
developed just before adjournment
in the trial yesterday that the state
will offer witness to prove Fair
banks made confession.
Just what the confession was did not
appear, as court adjourned before the
witness on the stand had an opportun-
ity to tell of it. That 1t is-important
is apparent from the attitude of coun-
sci as to its admissibility. The Wit
ness who will testify in regard to it Is
Miss Elsie p. McClosky, superinten-
dent of the hospital. Fairbanks was
taken to the hospital naccount Of the
two bullet wounds in his body suppos-
ed to have been self-inlicted, but which
| the defense claims were self inflicted
by Mary Grout. For some time his
life was despaired of and at one time
it was thought he was dying and Rev.
H. r. Miles was sent for. The state
offers to show that at that time Fair
banks made confession to the minis
ter in the presence OF Miss McClosky.
Rev. Mr.. Miles cannot be required to
tell wha 1.-THE respondent said to him,
| but Miss McClosky is not privileged in
the matter and she has been summoned
| by the state.
