At 1890 O'Clock, while the above case
was getting under way, the grand jury
came IN to make their report. Fore
man Walker stated that no true bills
had been found and no bills had been
before them for consideration; and he
handed in written report which de-
clared that the grand jury found that
the United States deposit fund and the
public school funds had been properly
administered by the several towns in
the county, that the cemeteries in the
various towns had been properly cared
for and that the county Jail was in good
condition. The grand jury were there
upon discharged with the thanks of the
court for their CELEBRITY.
Five persons who had been confined
in the county jail were brought into
court in the afternoon, but were not
arraigned as none of them had had coun-
sci or means to employ any. These
were Peter Ricci and Charles Funeri,
who were arrested some weeks ago in
Shelburne on charge of committing
burglaries at Vergennes. Murray
Bourne was assigned as counsel for the
former and Frank L. Fish for the latter.
Next came Mrs. Minnie E. Root of Ro-
chester and William Carrier of Wey-
bridge, charged with adultery at Yer
gennes. The court assigned Leroy C.
Russell of Middlebury to defend Mrs.
Root and Charles |. Button of Middle
bury to defend Carrier The last of
the five was Hal Hayden of Cornwall,
charged with obstructing a railroad
train few miles south of this station
about three months ago Lawyer Ira
H. LaFleur of Middlebury was assigned
for his defense.
These matters being got out of the
way the first divorce case of the term
was brought on. 1t was entitled Nellie
HER VS.. Elmer HER and Ira H. La
Fleur appeared for the petitioner
These parties were married at East
Middlebury in 1897, and have lived in
Ripton, Middlebury, Weybridge and
other towns in the county. The grounds
alleged were intolerable severity and
refusal to support. The bill was grant
ed on the ground of intolerable severity.
Thursday morning the civil jury cal
endar broke down entirely. The motion
for continuance in the Wellington will
case was argued by Mr.. Russell in ia
vor and by Mr.. Button in opposition.
A continuance was finally granted by
the court and the case ordered to be
made the first case on the jury calendar
for the June term.
The $40, 900 damage suit of Potter VS..
Chase, for the killing of the stallion
Krempest, was also continued as was
that of the Lake Dunmore Power and
Traction company VS.. the Lombard
Governor company and trustee. This
left remaining the case of Ernest Goss,
appellant, VS.. Edward A. Burt. This
case was also put over the June term.
Nothing further was done during the
forenoon and at 10 O'Clock the jurors
were excused until afternoon, when the
criminal docket was scheduled to be
taken up.
At the afternoon session William
Carrier was arraigned and pleaded not
guilty to an information charging him
with adultery with Mrs. Minnie E. Root
at Weybridge on the 25th of last month.
Mrs. Root, the correspondent, was next
arraigned and she too pleaded not
guilty. The trial of Carrier was at
once begun, and the case will be a
short one.
The outlook is that the work of the
term will easily be. completed by the
end of next week.
