SQUANDERED
THREE FORTUNES

PITTSBURG, PA, Nov. 14.-(Spe-
ciaD William N. Getty, known at
the race track all over the country
as Buster Getty, died in poverty
here at the home of Patrick Nee, a
bookmaker.
Although only 81 years old, Getty
had squandered three fortunes, and
for two months before his death had
acted as a porter about the saloons
of the city.
Getty was the son of James Getty,
one of the wealthiest wholesale Ii
quor dealers of Pittsburg fifteen years
ago. James Getty was murdered in
James Hutchinson, and his son in
herited about 100000 In a few years
he had lost it. Then an aunt died and
left him $4,000, which he soon squan-
dered, as he later lost $4,000 left
him by another aunt. Most of his
money was lost at the tracks.

washout on West River Railroad.

The West River division of the Central
Vermont railroad was practically put out
of business for an entire day by the heavy
rainfall Wednesday night At three sep
arate places the Toadbed was damaged
enough to stop the passage Of trains and
traffic from all points beyond Newfane
was practically shut Off. The repairs
made after the landslide just below Will
Evansville station after the fresaet the
week before were not stable enough to
Withstand the deluge and a big section
of the roadbed, again slid down into the
highway. This stopped the morning train
going up and the wrecker was sent up to
repair the damage. Temporary repairs
made 1t possible for the wrecker and the
mixed train to proceed to Newfane but
the trestle near Wizards mill, between
Newfane and Townshend, was so severely
strained by the high water that no trains
could run over 1t. The down train left
South Londonderry all right but was
halted at Jamaica on account of a small
landslide on the track near Wardsboro
station. The obstruction was not re-
moved until late yesterday afternoon nor
was the trestle strengthened sufficiently
until last night. Trains In both direc-
lions made their trips on time this morn
ing. All mail service above Newfane was
cut off all day but the wrecking train
carried up mail pouches and the mail
from Newfane and places this side came
In last evening.

Newfane, Friday, gov. s.

Mr.. Fits resumed his argument at 8
o'clock this morning He said the ques-
tions for the jury to consider are;
Whether crime was committed2
Whether Fairbanks committed It?
Whether he was possessed of mental
power to make him criminally response
BILE?
whether he had the will power to dis
Germ right from wrong and to choose
which he would do?
He said a man might be crazy as a
bedbug on some subjects and still be
crIminally responsible. He said the de-
fence undertook to raise a cloud OF dust
to secure the responsibility for the crime,
that the defence did not ask its own doc
tors whether Fairbanks was sane or in
sane and that they undertook to show
that he inherited insanity and got little
more from syphilis, a little more from
traumatism and a little more from sun
stroke. They undertook to show that in
stead of being a cowardly murderer he
was a most wronged man. Mr.. Fits
stated that he had too much regard for
the intelligence of the jury to spend any
time answering such an argument, and
he referred to 1t simply as showing the
nature of the defence. Then ne told
about Fairbanks skulking up to the mouse
where Mary Grout was staying, with
loaded revolver in his pocket and cart
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1907-11-08

ridges in his vest pocket, looking in at
the window, etc. followed Fairbanks's ac-
tions on that night as shown by the evil
dence. He referred to seven different
times Fairbanks has confessed to mis- part
in the matter that he shot the girl him
self 1t was not his purpose to defend
Mary CIRCUITS character, but that it was
not likely that 10 years ago, when she
was 16 years old and Fairbanks AZ that she
began to lead him astray He referred
to Mrs Fairbanks's testimony and told
how she held back her answers to the
questions and said that If her husband
was being led astray 1t was not probable
that she would hesitate to tell of it.
There was no delusion In Fairbanks's
jealousy, ne said, and 1t was a fact that
Mary Grout had been receiving >atten-
tons from Tom Peniman and had re-
ceived a letter from him; there was no
delusion about 1t when he told George
Townsend at the Sholes farm that
neither God. man nor .he devil could
keep him there. There was something
more than a delusion in his mind. That
when he had concocted a plan to take
Mary Grout to Ashuelot and get away
from his wife he knew the difference be-
tween right and wrong.
Mr.. Fits argued that the evidence
tended to show that Fairbanks had the
revolver. He said 1--WE have not the
means of finding out where he got 1t.
The defense has. 1t could find out from
the respondent 1t is not fair for them
to charge anything against the state for
not showing where he got It," The de-
Tense objected to that argument mas
much as they claim the respondent was
not obliged to tell anything concerning
the case. The court allowed the argu-
ment to go in and allowed an exception
by the defense.
Mr.. Fits continued that a man who
has a loaded gun, as Fairbanks did, is
premeditating something, and his actions
were so peculiar as to attract the at
tention of Charles Frost when Fairbanks
asked him on the night of the shoot
ing where Mary Grout was. He said
Fairbanks did just what he started up
there to do. He said II Fairbanks had
decisions or was crazy or an imbecile,
his wife, who had lived with him rs
years, would know more about 1t than
any doctor or any other person. He
argued at length to show that the re-
marks Fairbanks made, testified to by
different witnesses as indicating insanity,
were natural under the conditions which
existed at the time they were spoken.
Judge Haselton will deliver his charge
and the case will be given to the jury
during this afternoon.

Continuing his direct examination We'd
nesday morning Dr. Houston said 1t would
be possible for Fairbanks to have had
mental trouble in May without showing
any indication of 1t now. He said Fair
banks might have had a maniacal con-
dition then which might have lasted for
days or months and not be apparent now,
and that such n mental condition might re-
suit from a run down physical condition.
He saw no evidence of organic mental de-
rangement about him, however. Under
cross examination DR.. Houston said 1t
was possible, though not probable, that
Fairbanks might have had a mental dis
order which was not dlscernable at the
time he examined the respondent He
said his answers to the questions asked
by the attorneys for the state as to Fair
banks's sanity were based wholly upon
his examination and upon things as
sumed to be true in the Hypothetical
question.
Sheriff Arthur H. Thompson of Bellows
Falls was next called. James Carroll OF
Claremont N. H., testified early last week
that he was at the railroad station IN
Bellows Falls 20 minutes waiting for his
train at noon when, according 70 ner
testimony, Mrs. Myra futile talked with
Fairbanks on the platform, ana that ne
did not see Fairbanks there. Sheriff
Thompson testified that 1t was usual for
many people to be on the platform at
train time. The significance OF this tes-
timony was that 1t would not be strange
II Carroll did not see Fairbanks even
though Fairbanks was there. Deputy
Sheriff George P. Alexander OF SaXtons
River. who arrested Fairbanks, was called
to testify about two cartridges which he
took from the grip which Fairbanks hid
before going up to Charles Tenneys
house on the night of the shooting. He
nut them in a drawer in his desk, but he
was not able to identify them Unoer
cross examination he admitted that ne
told Judge f. w. Gibson that at times
Fairbanks, when he was at the hospital
had a blank mind and had no more real
lzation of what took place than did the
witnesses four-year- boy
Five nurses from the Brattleboro Me-
mortal hospital were called. They were
Miss Cora Sperry, Miss Mabel DeGraux,
Miss Janet Mcmillan, Miss Rose LonDeI
and Miss Ella Thomas. Miss McMlllah
| tetifed that he attended Fairbanks the
last is days in June and signed all the
daily reports covering his case during
| that time. Under cross examination II
| appeared that she signed but one OF the
reports for that particular time. MISS
| THOMAS said she saw Fairbanks from
| time to time and nursed him the hrst oil
his being at the hospital. He was de-
lirous at first. She though he was OF
sound mind although she had had nc
experience with insane patients All tns

FAIRBANKS'S FATE RESTS WITH JURY
Arguments Completed and Judge Seneca Haseos Charge De-
NeredPOnts Which Attorney General Fits Urged on Jury for
Consideration

The report of the trial in The Phoenix
of last week covered the proceedings up
to Friday noon. Three witnesses had
then testified for the state in rebuttal In
the afternoon the state put on DR.. Deane
Richmond, physician of the state prison
at Windsor, DR.. +. l.. Osgood of Sax
tons River, and several witnesses from
Grafton. Dr. Richmond testified to hav-
ing dressed the bullet wounds in Fair
banks's chest from the time the prisoner
arrived at the prison until the wounds
we're healed. He was with him more or
less every day. but never noted any men
tai popularity about him or anything
that would suggest insanity.
DR.. Osgood reached the scene of the
tragedy at Charles Tenneys house short
~ after 1t happened. He regarded Fair
banks as of sound mind He said that
he knew Fairbanks before the shooting
of Mary Grout, that Fairbanks had met
him on the street and had employed him
professionally.
Francis Palmer of Grafton, a store
keeper, testified that the accused had
traded at his store considerably in the
past FIVE years. He had seen Fairbanks
in the store and on the street. but never
noted in him any unsoundness of mind.
He thought Mrs Myra futile, whose tes-
timony the defense tried to discredit,
was a woman of good character and Of
Walter Watrous of Grafton said he had
worked with Fairbanks and had known
him % to 80 years. He often met him
on the street and exchanged salutations
with him, but always regarded him as Of
sound mind. John Sparks of Grafton tes-
titled that he never saw anything in the
nature Of insanity about Fairbanks Sam
uel Walker of Grafton said he had worked
with Fairbanks and had seen him much
He said that at first he regarded Fair
banks as of unsound mind and below par
in intellect The state believed that the
witness did not comprehend the question:
and there were some tits between coun-
sci on the question of asking him over
again. After a recess the witness was
recalled and stated that he regarded the
respondent as of sound mind.
The other Grafton witnesses were
w. S. Eaton, Herbert Walker, Err
nest Fairbanks and c. w. Fair
banks The two last named said they
were not related to the respondent.
These witnesses. said they had known
Fairbanks and regarded him as sound
mentally. They also regarded Mrs Myra
futile as truthful.
