longtime resident of the town, was
TO und dead in his kitchen Saturday
morning, having committed suicide
by hanging
One OF his sons, on arising about
daylight that morning found light
burning in the kitchen. He blew

covered his father suspended by the
neck from an iron brace overhead
by means of two roller towels. The
body was Immediately released, but
life was extinct
Appearances showed that Mr.
Davis had stood upon a pail to fast
en- the towel about his neck, then
had kicked the pail away When
found, his toes were touching the
floor.
No motive nor reason except tenn
porary insanity can be assigned for
the deed.
The funeral was held at the house
on Monday, Rev. ]. H. Bennett
and the Methodist choir being in
attendance. The remains were
taken to the cemetery at the North

Inquest Shows Child Not Uriminally
Assault ed,

According to B. H. Stone,
pathologist of the state laboratory
at Burlington, who conducted the
inquest in the case of little Ethel
Mahan, whose body was found in a
gravel pit near Lake Paren, North
Bennington, Sunday night, the
child was not criminally assaulted
before she died. This removes one
of the horrors that has been asso-
ciated with the crime since it was
discovered. Attorney General
Fits of Brattleboro, State Patholo-
gist B. H. Stone and Chemist
White of the laboratory al Burling-
ton arrived at North Bennington
Tuesday morning. They were
met there by Municipal Judge L.
L. Bates, States Attorney W. J..
Meagher and First Selectman Z.
M. Crawford. The officials walked
to the scene of the crime and made
an investigation lasting over an
hour.
Drs. White and Gleason con-
cluded the autopsy shortly before
II o'clock and DR.. Stone left on
the northbound train for Burling-
ton. No official announcement of
their finding was made and no re-
pot will be given out from that
source at present. DIR. Stone did,
however, state in the hearing of
those present at the autopsy that he
was convinced that no criminal as
sault was attempted while she was
alive. On her body, however, were
the inprints of bloody fingers show
ing depravity on the part of the
murderer that is almost beyond
comprehension.

Owing to the rush of the water
after the heavy rain of Friday, the
boom gave way in the mill pond of
Hapgood & Millington letting
about $4,000 feet of peeled hemlock
logs go down the river. But few if
any reached the Connecticut River,
and a force of men has been busy
for several days rounding them up

William Brown Escapes From
State Prison.

Selling all opportunity afforded
by the momentary absence of the
guard, William Brown, aged 81
years, who was serving out at the
state prison two years sentence
for grand larceny, ran behind the
slaughter house, half a mile from
the institution, where he and anoth-
er prisoner had been working, and
escaped into deep ravine. Brown
was last seen just before dark, when
he was headed north toward Para
disc, SO called, but the officers soon
lost track of him. Nearly 20 armed
men, including the sheriff and depu-
ties and guards from the prison,
have been searching for the fugi-
tive, automobiles being used for
several of the party.
Brown and prisoner named
Chamberlain were taken to the
house by guard and put
to work on shed which is being
erected there. At night when it
was time to return to the prison the
guard left the prisoners for a mo-
ment to inform the teamster that
they would leave at once. He or
dered the prisoners to place the
tools in the building. Chamber
lain obeyed the order, but Brown
waited until the guard disappeared
then ran around the building and
into the ravine.
