For the ones who loved her best;
That we may have eternal rest

ton headquarters, spent the day N

during the past three years, and III
an effort toward proving the identi-
iication of the property found in the
possession of Bertram q. Spencer,
the Springfield murderer. 1t is be-
lieved that Spencer Is the man for
whom the Brattleboro police have
Neen docking forthree years Jas at one
time he was employed by the Boston
& Maine railroad and spent his
nights either in Brattleboro or South
Vernon.
The cameo ring found in his home
marked Walter H. Childs and a D.
A. r. pin, the property OF Mrs. c.

Vermont roads, tracing Spencer's ca
reer while employed in this section.
The methods employed in all of

property taken while he was in Of
fee, and Chief of Police George Will
