Attorneys Defending Doctor
Thompson Try to Discredit
Marie Messerschmidt

During the entire session of Judge
Dunne's court yesterday the jury
charged with the determination of the
guilt or innocence of DR. Robert
Thompson. alleged murderer of. Eva
Swan patiently listened to arguments
of attorneys in the case. During all
of the preceding afternoon the jurors
had been pelted with legal eloquence
and they viii be subjected to a further
dose today. 1t is expected that the
case will be submitted TO jury this
afternoon.
When court convened yesterday ]. j.
Greedy, one of Thompsons attorneys,
resumed his address. He was severe
in his denunciations Of Miss Marie Mes
serchmidt the nurse upon whose testi-
mony the prosecution chiefly relies.
Greedy was followed by Robert Ferral
who went even further than his col
league in his attacks on the nurse.
Ferral spoke until o'clock, when he
was succeeded by Assistant District
Attorney James f. Brennan. who
started the closing argument for the
people.
Ferral argued that by her testimony
Miss Messerschmidt had shown herself
worse than Thompson. He called her
"a devil of devils and as the CO.
conspirator of the defendant her tes-
timony was unbelievable without. cor
roboration, the lawyer said He
claimed that there had been no con-
/ firmation of her testimony and said
that as she had contradicted herself in
many essential particulars the jury
should disregard everything she said
Ferral intimated his belief that II
was the nurse who sawed off the legs
of the unfortunate victim. She would
do such a thing with a laugh asserted
the lawyer. Replying to remark that
District Attorney FiclSert had made in
his@pening argument. Ferral admitted
that it was not Marie Messerschmidt
who was on trial, but insisted that il
was material, for the jury to determine
whether or not she had told the truth
in her testimony.
Brennan, in opening his argument
form OF all the circumstances OF the
case. He laid stress on the mutilation
and secret disposition of the body as
corroborative circumstances pointing
to the commission of a murder
why were this unfortunate girls
legs cut off if. no crime had been COM
miNed?" he asked. why was she
buried in the cellar of that Eureka
street cottage? Why was she not ac-
corded a decent burial? These things
prove to any reasonable man that Eva
Swan was the victim of foul murder.

Predicts High Priced Hay

The Bennington correspondent of
The Troy Times writes Hay of go' d
quality is selling from $l8 to $50
a ton and is not in very free supply
at those figures. On account of the
unusual severity of the winter. stock
on the farm has consumed, more hay
than in milder winters. and as a
result shortage in hay is becoming
evident A prominent farmer stated
yesterday that unless an early spring
sets in he expected that hay will
touch the $25 a ton mark. 1t is
said by some farmers that ensilage
has not kept well during the winter,
great deal of it being mouldy, and
this has led to feeding more hay.

everything that plaintiff asserted
and vice versa. The court came tc
the conclusion that plaintiff was
right and was entitled to the use oI
the mare for one year under his lease

titled to the colt as her product, and

included this power plant and tene-
ment house in the appraisal of the
company's property to be taxed by
the state alone, but the town listers
put this property into the grand
list and the same was taxed by the
town.
The court held that the town had
the right to tax the tenement house
but not the power plant, and render,

Deer Hungry and Fearless

Deer are occasionally seen quite
near this village, and there are some
evidences that they are not having a
very good winter The snow though
not of unusual depth, has been
hard and crusty, making it difficult
to travel and to get food.
While l.. Fl. Staples and others
we're icing" on Billings pond last
week Friday, young deer came
down into the road from the hill
and seemed very reluctant to step
out into the crust to let a team go
by. 1t appeared much exhausted
as if it had been chased by dogs, blu
got over the fence there, crossed the
pond and disappeared over the golf
course.
The same day Carl Thompson
met three deer-a buck and two
does in the highway at S. A. Gold
smiths place. They allowed Mr.
Thompson to drive by, but didn't
give him any more room than the
rules of the road call for.
A. f. Wait also reports seeing
deer in the highway at his place on
the south road. 1t was thin and
weak and very evidently had been
on half rations for awhile.
