RETURNS TO WINDSOR.
"Dick' Cilley Arrested For IntOxica-
tiOn and FOrfeits Parole From State
Prison


Two sessions of the City Court
were held Tuesday, one in the fore
noon and the other in the afternoon,
while a recess in the Brigham case
for non support was taken to the
bedside of the plaintiff.
The first case to come before Judge
Harvey was that of Richard Cilley,
who had been arrested the night be-
fore for iutoXication. This is his
second arrest in ten days for the
same offence, he having appealed the
first and is still out on bail. He was
found guilty of intoxication and was
given twenty days. AS he is out from
Windsor, where he has been board
ing for the past two years on a par
ole, the Jail officials received papers
from Governor Prouty to compel
him to return there and complete his
term.
The next case was continuation
of the Brigham matter. The plaintiff
has one child nearly three years old
living with George Daniels, in East
Montpelier. Mrs. Brigham is now
10 years of age and was married at
the age of 16, while her husband is
but two years older. They have not
been living together for some time
and now the plaintiff, who is in de-
licate health is entering a claim for
support. In order to obtain the tes-
timony of the plaintiff, the Judge, at
torneys, witnesses and other inter-
ested parties repaired to the house
of Mrs. Flora Williams, situated near
the City Hall, where tie case was
finished. Judge Harvey gave his de-
cision in favor of the defendant, as
by the testimony it was shown that
the plaintiff refused to live in the
home provided by the defendant.
The afternoon trial was for breach
of the peace, in which c. c. Kellogg,
station agent at Middlesex for the c.
" road, it was alleged had assaulted
Louis Pecor over rent bill. Judge
Harvey reserved his decision.

Brotherhood Last Evening.

tertained Tuesday night with an in
teresting lecture by c. A. G.. Jackson
delivered in the vestry of Trinity
church. The members were well re.
presented at the lecture, Mr.. Jack.
sons subject being "The Develop
ment of the Book"
AS the subject denotes, the address
dealt with the making of books as we
know them in their present form from
earlier times. beginning with the
parchment and going up to papyrus
and other forms of early chronicles
which gradually developed into the
magnificent production of the book
makers of today. The real book, said
the lecturer" was probably produc-
ed at Rome after pattern which was
made of wood bound together and
called "hoc", later corrupted into
book. The Romans improved upon
the idea and made their early books
of celum, which was more pliable
and easier to carry around than the
cumbersome rolls of early times OF
the "hocs" of the distant provinces,
After the talk an informal banquet
was served.

NO SENSATIONS AS YET
Cross Examination In Suit For
Separation Finished Today and
Plaintiffs Attorney Takes Witness
In Hand.

New York, Dec. 14.-When the
name of Bunnie Wells was mention
ed several days ago in the early
part of the trial of the suit for sep
aration brought by Mrs. w. Goult
Brokaw against her ,4usoand. John
F. Mcintyre, Brokaws lawyer, prom
ised the counsel for the plaintiff that
he would hear it again, in fact that
the name of Wells" would figure
quite some" The name came up
again today and Mcintyre had it to
the front. for ever so long, but he
finally had to abandon his efforts to
ascertain just who Wells is or was.
Wells was the man who occupied q
room next to that of Mrs. Brokaw
in December, 1908, when Brokaw
was in the South and Mrs. Brokaw
wa at Great Neck, but beyond the
fact that Wells arrived at the Bro
kaw house in the company of Miss
Marion Dennison, who is step.
daughter of Lieut.. Gov. White, and
was the man whom Mrs. Brokaw had
met sometime, somewhere, Mcintyre
learned but little.
1t was brought out that Brokaw
objected to great many of Mrs.
Brokaw's friends, among them Mrs.
Frank Gould, Mrs. Winthrop Sands,
and in fact, pretty nearly almost
everybody with whom she associated.
Also that Miss Edna May, the WE'LL
known actress. was an acquaintance
of Mrs. Brokaws, though Mrs. Bro
kaw would not admit that their ac-
quaintance had been what one might
call intimate
Mcintyre had said that the further
| cross-examination of Mrs. Brokaw
today would occupy two hours and
half. 1t was, in fact, nearly five
hours before he turned the witness
over to her own lawyer for examina-
tion of redirect. Mrs. Brokaw had
come prepared for gruelling, it ap-
peared, for her fencing with Mcintyre
was, if anything, even more adroit
than on the two previous days that
she was under fire. Toward the
close she began to show little wear
mess and was not so often piqued as
| before.
She had changed her gown for the
first time during the trial and appear
ed in purplish biue three quarter
coat suit with Napoleonic toque of
the same color, trimmed with band
of shepherd plaid. She still wore
her silver fox furs, while on the
stand, laying aside her baby lamb
coat that reached to her shoe tops.

BREAKS ROM RANKS
q. X. Bianchi Company's Granite
Shed to BE Thrown Open to Work.
men This Morning, Notwithstand-
ing Attitude Of Manufacturers As
snpiattau

sOclatiOn.
The granite manufacturing firm of
Bianchi Brothers, which is a member
Of the Barre Granite Manufacturers
Association. according to the state.
ment Of G. r. Bianchi member of
the firm, has decided to continue the
fight against the union men no longer
and promptly at seven o'clock this
morning, will throw open its sheds to
all of it's former employees, number
ing about So, Mr.. Bianchi says, and
he hopes that things will go on as
they usually did befo.e the lockout
occurred, and on the same old basis.
The Bianchi firm hal men at work
at the sheds yesterday getting things
in readiness for the reception of the
workers this NOR dns.
Mr.. Bianchi stated last evening that
his firm decided to break regardless
of the action Of othe" manufacturers
or wna' the latter mis1c think of his
move. He was emphatic to a degree
in making it known that he owned
his business and could, therefore, do
with it as he pleased, which was pre-
cisely what he intended to do, he said
He laughed at the suggestion that
the Manufacturers Association could
in any way make things disagreeable
for him because of his break with
it.
AS far as he knew, Mr.. Bianchi
said, he was the only manufacturer
affected by the strike or lockout who
had decided to take Independent &C.
ton.
When Charles Wishart of the Barre
Manufacturers Association was COM
municated with yesterday afternoon,
he said that he had heard a rumor
to the effect that the Bianchi firm in
tended to open it's doors this morn
ing. He said he understood that the
firm was considering" such an &C.
ton, but further than that he knew
nothing about the matter. He said
that he was not inclined to think that
was contemplating similar action and
seemed to look upon the Bianchi in
cident as an episode not worthy of
serious consideration. as far as it
would have any effect upon the gen.
eral situation.
A member of the Manufacturers
Association said yesterday that he
had very excellent reason to believe
that the Bianchi concern would meet
with all kinds of snags and Difficult
ties in. tr'ling too make good the
stand " mas taken. According to the
man in question it is entirely prob
able that the firm which intends to
start operations this morning will
experience no little trouble in deal
ing with the quarry owners who
while they probably will not refuse
to sell the stock, there are many
! other ways in which the firm could
\ be hampered. The quarry owners
\could, with all outward show of rea'
son, delay in getting out stock, raise
phe price so many cents per foot, oil
otherwise harass the firm.
The same man said that in taking
the action that they do it means thai
they must forfeit membership in the
Manufacturers Association.
The situation at Northfeld remains
unchanged, according to advices re
ceived froom there last night.
