Chester Woman Fatally Burned.

Mrs. Helen Bailey Burke, aged 60
years, was fatally burned Friday after
noon when her clothing was ignited by
bonfire which she had lighted at the
rear of the home of her sister. Miss Mar
cha Bailey, two miles north of Chester,
dying Sunday from the effects of her
injuries.
Mrs. Burke was the daughter OF the
late William Bailey, proprietor of the
old Bailey mills at Chester. Her hus-
band died few years ago and she had
recently been living with Mr.. and Mrs.
Waldo Stevens. Mrs. Burke went to the
home of her sister and worked about the
place in the afternoon, raking up the dry
leaves and starting a bonfire. She was
alone az the home, her sister being with
in the house. 1t is believed that she
slipped and fell into the blazing leaves.
Miss Bailey heard her sister scream
and hurried to the back doorway toward
which Mrs. Burke was crawling on her
hands and knees as her sister arrived.
Mrs. Burkes clothing except her corsets
and shoes, had been consumed. By a
last effort she arose and plunged into an
old cistern filled with water, and which
stands near the doorway, and the flames
were extinguished. Miss Bailey remov-
ed her sister from the cistern and carried
her into the house, then summoned a
physician, who dressed Mrs. Burke's in
juries. The flesh about her arms and
some portions of the body were literally
cooked.

OFFICIALS ExONERATED.
Charges Of Immoral Conduct at
House Of Correction Proved
tInfrna

The State board on penal institutions
was in Rutland this week to investigate
a charge that a woman prisoner at the
house of correction had been seduced by
officials Of the institution. The matter
was brought to the public's attention by
P. j. Holvosa of this city who based
his charges on statement made by the
woman's husband. In lengthy article
in the Vermont Union Signal Saturday
MIR. Halvosa completely exonerates the
prison officials
He says in part:
II have gone over the ground care
fnlly since visited the house of correc-
ton in company with the commissioners
and secured clean cut statement from
both Superintendent Morgan and Matron
Roberts. This statement after being YER
flied by Rev. Milford II. Smith of Rut-
land and A. d. Smith of Whallonsburg,
N. Y, was also corroborated by several
friends and neighbors of the womans
family as well as the woman herself,
and, after it was finally sifted to the
very bottom and found to be true in
every detail, it left no doubt in my mind
but that the story of alleged seduction
was untrue"
