This case was followed on We'd
nesday by Natick Underwear Co. v.
Keyes & Hills--an action to recover
a bill OF abont one hundred dollars
for underwear sold to defendants,

ordered for immediate delivery and
were unreasonable delayed and not
received, also that the plaintiff, a
Maine corporation, had not complied
with the Vermont corporation laws
so as to entitle it to bring suit in
this state for sale made in Yer

Gilmore of Gardner, Mass, was
brought into court and he pleaded
guilty to an information charging
that at Hartford, on April 9, 1907,
he stole a horse, harness, wagon and
robe, the property Of Mrs. c. M.
Hyde.
Gilmore Kenyon of Hartford plead
ed guilty to an information charging
him with burglariously breaking and
entering the store of Fred Pippin at
Hartford, and stealing one revolver
and one holster. Sentence was not
imposed in either case, but the pris
oners we've remanded to Jail. 1t is
understood that they are to be used
as witnesses against some other par
ties.
The county Jail has now thirteen
inmates awaiting trial for variety
CT offences, such as burglary, larce-

AT the conclusion of the case on

FRANK TURNER INDICTED.
The one indictment that was found
by the grand jury at this term of
Windsor county court was against
Frank Turner on the charge of shoot
ing DR.. Charles w. Ray at Chester,
Dec. 9, 1906. The indictment is
brief and sets forth that the said
Turner, "reing armed with a dan
gerous weapon, to wit loaded re-
volver, discharged the same in and
upon the body Of the said Charles
w. Ray with malicious and feloni-
Gus intent to kill and slay the said
Charles Ray" 1t will be seen that
the charge against the respondent is
such that if DR.. Ray had died from
the effects Of the shooting, the accu-
sation would be murder in the sec
ond degree.
When the civil cases are COM
pletcd, which will not be until the
middle of July, in all probability,
the state cases will come on for trial,
this case among the rest. But unless
a certain important witness, now alb
sent from the state, shall return by
that time, an application for con-
tinuance will be made by the re-
spondent's counsel, John 6. Sargent
of Ludlow.
