OCEAN VIEW TRIAL
TfSTSTOWNBOARD
Woman Causes Complications
by Accusing Husband of
Assault

BERKELEY, May 1s.7-Last night
Town Recorder C. NJ Hinton, Marshal
Chris Miller. Mayor Frank j. Roberts
and three other members of the board
of trustees made the first arrest in the
new municipality of Ocean View since
the town was incorporated last Sep
TENDER. Hinton had the honor of try
ing the first case when Samuel Rodia
was arrested for battery on the COM
plant OF his wife, Lucy Rodia, and the
complications which ensued with
Mayor Roberts as attorney for the de-
Tense and E. W. Crutchin as prosecut-
ing attorney would fill a good sized
book.
TRUSTEES JOIN IN ARREST
The story began when Mrs. Rodia
who lives in Adams street. complained
to Hinton that her husband had black
ened her eye and 'mistreated her in
other ways. Hinton called upon Miller
to make the arrest after he had issued
the proper warrant, but the town mar
shall, new in the routine of the law
called upon Mayor Roberts for advice
The mayor was equally ignorant as
to the proper course of procedure and
called other members of the board OF
trustees in conference. The result was
that Hinton, Roberts and the board
went TO Rodias house to make the
arrest.
But they were beset with another
difficulty. as Ocean View has no Jail
and the prisoner was quartered in the
schoolhouse.
WOMAN AMENDS COMPLAINT
Mrs. Rodia then appeared on the
scene and said that she had made a
mistake in her complaint, as she re-
ceived her black eye by falling down
stairs and therefore her husband was
not guilty.
Hinton ordered the release of Rodia
but he was called back when Roberts
cautioned the town justice that the
prisoner had not been tried. Hinton
accordingly took the bench, appointed
Roberts as attorney for the defense
and E. w. Cutchin, the first man in
Ocean View. to bring shotguns to bear
on the scavengers of Berkeley. as
prosecuting attorney.
During the examination Mrs. Rodis
testified that she fell downstairs and
refused to utter one word against heI
husbands character. After the argu-
ment was all in Hinton dismissed the
case and gave Rodia his liberty. Now
he is wondering why he collected his
fees.

w. B. ADAMS SUICIDES.
Local Interest in St. Louis Tragedy
 on Thursday. 2

w B. Adams, who committed sui- eide in a fashionable apartment house Tn St. Louis, Mo-, Thursday, was in q. way connected with a number of families that at one time resided in this city.
 The suicide left the name of Mrs. Leona S. Adams and 1t was believed in St. Louis that she was his wife. The suicides brothers wife's name was Leona S. Adams. whose husband was Harry Adams.
 Mrs. Adams was married three times, having married Henry Wash burn as her second husband. He died in this city some years ago.
 Mrs. Adams had two daughters. Le ona S., now the wife of Richard A. Turner of Springfield. Mass, formerly of this city. and Helen, now Mrs. William Trining of Brooklyn, N. Y., well known here.
 W. B. Adams resided in Boston up to seven or eight years ago, when it is believed that he went west, as Christmas presents that were annually forwarded to him were returned to relatives in this city at that time, and nothing has since been heard of him until the news of his death.
 The Adamses, Washbtrns and Tur- ners were all well known families, and no reason can be attributed for w. B. Adams ending his own exist ence as far as can be learned in this city.
 Mrs. Adams and her daughters. the Misses Leona s. and Helen Adams, re- sided at 2SS Lewiston avenue, this city, for several years, in the house now occupied by James P. Brown and family

crossings be eliminated. He further claimed that the right of appeal could not be denied anyone and said that If the Commissioners had found that it was not necessary to abolish the grade crossings the town could have appealed to the superior court and if the town could appeal so also could the railroad company appeal. He claimed that the court could appor- tion the expense. making a division as 1t saw fit, notwithstanding what the commissioners might have done. He claimed that the reason for the ap- peal was that public convenience and necessity did not demand the elimina- tion of the crossing. Regarding the apportionment of the expense, he said that the appeal was taken on the ground that such apportionment was not fair and equitable, so as to con- form with the specific benefits that the Central Vermont would receive as a result of the abolishment of the par ticular crossing in question. A num- Der of decisions were cited to substan- tiate his claims and from various questions asked by Judge Robinson it appeared as though the superior court did have jurisdiction in the matter.
 Replying to Attorney Kenealy. At torney Spock said as far as the New Haven road was concerned they, of course, would not object if they did not have to eliminate the crossings. as they had to bear most of the expense. but they were so strenuous in the matter now because the Central Yer mont had so successfully avoided do- ing away with grade crossings and the New Haven people were anxious that the Central Vermont stand their share of the expense in doing away with grade crossings.

HUNTED ON LEASED LAND.
Lebanon Man Fined $1 and Costs on
 Complaint of Liberty Club.

George Watrous, Jr., residing in the town of Lebanon, Exeter society. was before Justice of the Peace J. N. Clark of Columbia Thursday for hunt ing on land leased by the Liberty club. A plea of not guilty was entered but he offered no defense. Justice Clark suggested that he might ask for a continuance so that he might consult with an attorney. but this the young man did not wish to do. There were three witnesses, but as the accused made no defense he was found guilty. A. E. Stiles, keeper of the Liberty club, said that the club did not wish to be hard on the young man. but de- sired to have 1t impressed upon the public that no one could hunt on post ed land.
 It is claimed that Watrous got caught in a trap. as 1t is alleged that the case was simply framed up against up him by Elmer M. Chadwick of Nor wich. who was employed by the Lib- erty club. Chadwick, it is said. claim ed to be special game protector for

 Skunk Hunters Profitable Week.
 The men who hunt skunks are get ting well paid for the hazardous occu- patton this fall. The fur of this little animal is bringing better prices than ever before. One Danielson hunter se- cured fourteen belts one day recently, and their value was slightly in excess of SIT. The next day he secured three black pelts of a total value of s7.S0. On still another day this week this hunt CT secured six more belts. and his pay for the week will be far above that of the average man. Some of the animals are taken without difficulty but others require the expenditure of labor in dig ging before they can be captured.

STEEL CHEST FOUND.
Taken from saf. of Attswauasn Com pany-Riflsd and Thrown in Bushes a Mile from the Village.

The steel chest wrenched from the safe of the Attawaugan company early Wednesday morning was found Friday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Michael Grimshaw in a clump of pines just off the road leading from Attawaugan crossing to the village of that name. The chest had been broken open with a hammer, which was found near by, and the contents rifed. Papers that were in the chest were found strewn about, where they had been discarded by the burglars. A candle which had been used to furnish light for inspec- ton by the safebreakers was also picked up. Examination of the road side revealed the tracking of an auto mobile that had been driven close into the brush and stopped. The find was within a mile of the mill once and in- dicates that the nervy crooks were not worrying about being pursued, when they delayed to break open the box. The discovery has been reported to the state police.

 The appeal of the Central Vermont Railroad company from the decision of the railroad commissioners in or dering the elimination of the grade crossings at Camp station, in the sub urhs of this city. was next considered. There was a hearing on the demurrer of the respondent. the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Go. and the town of Windham.
 Grounds upon which the appeal was taken was that public safety did not require thatethe crossings be eliminat- ed and further that the apportion- ment of the expense of doing away with same was not fair to the Central Vermont railroad The town was or dered to pay one-eighth, the Central Vermont three-eighths. and the New Haven road four-eighths.
 The demurrer for the New Haven road was argued by Attorney Spock and he claimed that the railroad com sioners were an administrative body, and that they had been given sole power by the legislature to order elimination of grade crossings, and therefore there was no judicial ques- ton relating to same over which the superior court had Jurisdiction. A hong list of similar cases were cited by him in support of his contention. He said the matter of expense rested en- tirely with the discretion of the rail- road commissioners and in this par ticular case no judicial question is raised, as the, law is very clear, as 1t says that the commission shall appor- ton the expense for the elimination of the grade crossings
 The appeal for the Central Vermont road was argued by Attorney Michael KeneaIy, He argued that there was a judicial question did enter into the case as far as public convenience and necessity existed and further because the selectmen of the town alleged in their petition that public convenience and necessity did exist did not prove that public safety demanded that the
