Rnef was several times all but over

the final words Of his address: Il de-
sire to withdraw my plea of not guilty
and enter the contrary plea" his voice
sank to a whisper. But SO tense was
the silence that it reached the farthest

Hotel Memphremagog at
Newport Burned
A GREAT LOSS 10 TOWN
Fire Fighters Were PowerIess to Save
the Property, But They Did Succeed
in Preventing the Spread Of the
Flames Beyond.

Newport, May 166.--The Memphrema
gog house, the largest hotel in northern
Vermont and popular summer hostelry,
was burned yesterday afternoon, fire
breaking out at half past three o'clock.
The loss il set at $4,000 on which
there was an insurance Of s11 900.
The flames were famed by high
east wind and by the time the fire de-
partment arrived it was impossible to
save the structure. The frenen fought
the fire from the veranda Of the house
until the position became unsafe and
then they retreated to the street, and
from this point did the best they could,
but to no avail Help was summoned
from Sherbrooke and an engine was
sent by special train The train took
just an hour to cover the 40 miles.
The Memphremagog was one Of the
landmarks Of the village, It was a
wooden structure and located on the
land of the Boston & Maine railroad.
George f. Goode who has run a summer
hotel for many years was the owner.
The hotel did a large summer business,
having 800 rooms. Nearly all Of the
furniture was saved belonging to Mr..
coode, 0. r. Moulton and son, D. R.
Stetson and Richard Hurst.
Lieut. Governor Prouty a resident Of
this place imediately took charge Of the
fire fighters. The water from the hy-
drants was soon found to be inadequate
and AXE water was then forced into the
1aains After a time the efforts were
turned toward saving the adjoining
property, in which they were successful.
The cause of the fire is supposed to have
been spark from a locomotive.
