MYSTERIOUS Killing,

Lunenherg, Vt, Sept 20.-Every
effort OF both states attorney and
counsel for Mrs. Florence NJ. Dodge
to lift the impenetrable veil of mystery
surrounding the murder of VIM Heath,
a painter, at the home of Mrs. Dodge,
had failed when the woman was called
to face a murder charge in the pre-
liminary hearing today. An adjourn
ment was taken indefinitely with the
probability of the case coming up on
Thursday.
Although so far as has been develop
ed, Mrs. Dodge was alone in her home
when Heath was killed and no other
person was within hearing of the fatal
revolver shot, the case of the state is
tottering, owing to the absolute in
ability OF the authorities even to suggest
a possible motive which have promised
the wealthy widow to shoot down in
cold blood practically unknown
workman employed for a day in her
home.
Mrs. Dodge is wealthy, unencumber-
ed, and, according to her neighbors, a
perfectly normal woman, whose life has
been entirely devoid of any mystery.
At the time the fatal shots were fired,
one OF which penetrated his heart.
Heath was kneoling and applying a
coat of paint to base hoard in one OF
the rooms OF the house. The idea OF
suicide is apparently made impossible
bv the fact that one OF the three shots
fired penetrated the wall in such man
ner that it could not have been fired by
Heath.

CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS.

Judge WaddiIl held special session
of the United States District Court il
this city today to hear condemnation
proceedings instituted by the govern
ment to obtain about 1900 acres o
land in Fairfax county, below this city
for the purpose OF establishing re
formatory for the District Of Columbia
The property is known as the White
House tract" There are 81 defend
ants to the action.
The court met this morning when TIM
following attorneys appointed in thu
case-for the government: District AT
torney Lewis and Assistant Attorney
Talley. For the property owners
Messrs. S. H. Hillyer, ]. S. Barbour
W. B. Guy, c. V. Ford and Judge
Nicol
When the case was called Mr.. Hillye
representing one-seventh OF the prop
erty, in question moved to dismiss ane
uuash the proceedings because OF th'
unconstitutionality of the act OF Con
gress providing for the erection OF th'
reformatory for the District OF Column
bia on Virginia soil.
Judge Nicol, representing i've
seventies of the property, stated that MI
clients did not object to the acquisition
of the property by the government, pu
only asked that the jury award them
fair price.
Mr.. Barbour stated that he under
stood that he represented the othe'
seventh of the property, but there
seemed to be some question as to tins
as Judge Nicol also held paper giving
him the right to represent the seventh
The matter was passed by and the az
gument upon the constitutionallty o
the act OF Congress was then taken up
Mr.. Hillyan holding that Congress hac
no right to condemn property in Vir'
ginia for District OF Columbia purposes
Judge Lewis contested that idea ano
argued that the government had aoso
lutte control in such cases.
After interesting arguments had beer
heard on the subject Judge Waddll
overruled the motion to quash and DIS
mise the proceedings, holding that the
government had the right through con-
domination proceedings to acquire prop
erty in Virginia or any other state.
The question then came up as &c
who represented the seventh interest,
held by Mrs. Kraft, Judge Nlcol and
Mr.. Ford and Mr.. Barbour or Mr..
Weller, Mrs. Kraft having signed papers
putting her interest in the matter IN
The hands of both sides.
After long arguments Judge Waddll
stated that the matter was one with
which the court had nothing to do
hc was there simply to hear con-
demnation proceedings to ascertain the
value Of the land in question; he was
rather of the opinion, however, that
Judge Nicol and Mr.. Ford were the
proper representatives OF Mrs. Kraft,

entertain the theatre-goers, it can be
safely said that the house will be

THE CONSTITUTION.
Ten Republicans and One Democrat
 Refuse to Sign.


 Last Friday, December 9-h. 1910, after sixty one days labor by fifty two delegates, the constitution of Arizona 2 was complsted at Phenix. the capital.
 The Arizona Democrat of Decem Der 10th, says:
 The constitution of Arizona was completed and read to the convention yesterday. and at twenty minutes after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon F. A Jones ploved that the constitution be adopted.
 There were a dozen cries of "secoud the motion" from different parts of the house, and when the vote was tsken, there were 39 ayes and 13 nays. eleven republicans and Messrs. Eilin wood and TutbiH voting no. When the con- stitufion had been adopted there was slight delay before all was in read mess for signing the document, and the inter vening time was whiled away by the readiug of ike telegrams, writ ten in the press gallery and addressed to President Hunt The first of these telegrams was dated "W ashin ton, b. O Dec. g. l91O." snd read as follows:
 "G W. P. Hunt. Pbenix, Arizona: Please cave for me the pen with which you sign the constitution of Arizons.
 (Signed) "JOS. w. BAILEY"
 President Hunt and a number of the members of the convention did not realize at Grst that the telegram with the name of the Texas senator attach ed was not the real thing, and MT. Cobb of Graham confessed last even- ing that he was just preparing to move that the vote whereby the pen be turned over to the territorial historian, be reconsidered and that the pen be sent to Senator Bailey as requested, Just in the nick of time, however, the joke was discovered, and Mir Cobb refrained from making his motion. Later on a unanimous petition was [ ing that the pen with which Mir. Eilinwood .'sigued" the constitu ton be saved for the mem bers of the press gallery.
 Finally the constitution was ready for signing, and after President Hunt had appended his name to the docu- I hu Secretary Cole, the members were called upon by counties to sign, Fred Coalter of Apache being the first There was no response when the coun ties of Ooconino. Pima and Santa Cru, were called, and Mr. Ellinwood did not 90 forward with his brethren from | Oochise when the turn came for that county to step forward and look pleas ant There was a cheer that shook the roof when Mr. Langdon, the lone l republican from Gila, signed, and also applause when such doubtfuls at Baker, Franklin. Orme, Webb. SImms Tuthill and Standage went forward. The pen with which President Hunt signed the constitution was the prop erty of Delegate Tom Feeney of Oo- chise and will be presented to the territorial historian, Miss Hall.
 The names of the following men were signed by them to the Arizona constitution:
 Fred T, Coalter. John Bolan, R. B Sims. o NJ. Roberts, F. B. Bradner ! Thomas Feeney, A. F. Parsons, E A
