Delaware was a promoter of enterprises

In 1915 Bacon and his people arose
against the too great tyranny Of the
royal governor. foreshadowing the Revo-
luton by 100 years. Ii was Bacon who
fired the town and destroyed almost all
the buildings, including the church. At
ter that the council met in the taverns
for ten years until new statehouse was
built. After various vieissitndes the cap
ital was moved TO the Middle Plantation,
or Williamsburg, and jamestown went
into decline. Decay fell upon the ruins
of the village and the settlers gradually
drifted to the higher and healthier local
tiles beyond the river banks. To-day
there Is only the brick tower Of the
church with its portfolios. the graves of

Frank J. Englebert, Edward Thomp
son. John Ackerman. Thomas L. King
John o. Campbell. Charles Rother-
mel. Barney Linderman. Charles Han
er and Willard Penny.
In the opening address, Prosecutor
Jessup explained to the jury that on
May 20 of this year. Brown entered the
assembly room at the hose house
where Miller and the other two mem
bers of the company were and that Mil.
Ter then remarked: II want all of you
to come up stairs with me as | have
been ordered by the mayor to search
your lockers The men followed I'D
stairs with Miller. Browns locker
was the last searched 1t was sus-
pected that the men had whiskey Sc
creted in these lockers. None was
found in Browns locker and as the
men filed down stairs Brown remark
ed that Miller had searched his locker
the previous day under the pretense of
locating a gas pipe. Miller then call
ed him "a dirty little liar with an
oath attached. Brown replied that
Miller w also a irru u
upon Miller kicked Brown and when
the latter turned on him Miller
threatened to strike Brown with a
hammer.
If there has been as much trouble
and discord in the fire department as
has been claimed. il is sure to leak out
in the course of this trial. W. A.
Bond is the attorney for Miller.
