Governor Hughes made no secret

John II. Kimball of Randolph, VT, saw
both acquitted by order of Judge Wait
In the superior criminal court yester'

When he reached the resort where
they were staying he found they mad

learned that the safe had been re-
moved to a store house and blown
open.
Counsel for the women disposed OF
the case on technically. Under the

ing the same. The court ordered the
discharge of the women.
