THE MOCK TRIAL.
Much Fun Furnished by Local Char
acters at the Colonial.

II IT
acters at the Colonial.
The curtain arose at The Colonial
| Thursday night on a very august
body of men and women represent
ing the court, the lawyers and their
clients, clerk, officer and crier, and
the witnesses in the mock trial, given
by Grace Unity club of Grace Metho-
dist church. They were greeted by
large audience, the hall being well
| filled. The only change in the cast of
characters was in the Office of judge,
Guy w. Hill taking the place of r.
w. SimOndS, who was out of town.
The court was called by the crier,
Ralph G. Sulloway, and the jurors
were sworn in. This was very
distinguished body of men, Frank
w. Ball representing President Taft;
A H. Gleason as Cook, the explorer;
Rev. C. Fl. Merrill as Commander
Peary; Charles Goodall as J. P. Nor
Gilbert e. Woods as George Dewey;
Rev. F. w. Lewis as Governor
Prouty; DR.. T. r. Stiles as Chauncey
M. Depew; f. G. Bundy as Theodore
Roosevelt; Arthur F. Stone as John
L. Sullivan; F. B. Jacques as J. d.
Rockefeller; and James A. Impey as
Judge Parker. Arthur F. Stone was
chosen as foreman. The plaintiff,
Mrs. Maybelle Howe. followed the adj
vice of her counsel and kept per-
fectly calm" through the trying or
deal, and made an excellent plaintiff.
Although the defendant swooned
once during the plaintiffs s testimony
he recovered himself and made
staunch defense against the evidence
brought against him. The witnesses
revealed some interesting facts con-
corning some prominent citizens of
the town, and proved themselves
equal to the puzzling questions put
to them by the two noted lawyers.
Lawyer Howe and Lawyer A. v. New
ton of Worcester kept up the courage
of their clients throughout and both
made convincing pleas. The charge
to the jury, given by Judge Hill,
seemed to leave little doubt which
way the case would be decided, but
the jury returned only to announce
that the jury stood. seven to six,
which was unexplanable by the fore

Vermont on Canvas.

The pleasure of seeing the beauties
of our surrounding hills and valleys
transferred to canvas by the skilled
hands of such artists as Mr.. and Mrs.
Kaula was an experience unique in
the towns history, and it is not sur
prising that many availed themselves
of the opportunity SO kindly given by
them in the exhibition held the past
week at Miss Bingham's studio.
1t is in the Elusive and mysterious
cloud land that Mr.. Kaula seems
most at home, and his late afternoon
and evening skies are the sort of
pictures to be lived with, with ever
growing pleasure, while some of the
hiIIsides and farms are SO redolent
of Vermont that no Vermonter at this
winters exhibitions will consult a
catalogue to place them.
Mrs Kaula's work for the summer
has been largely the portrayal of
quaint figures in old fashioned cos
tunes and surroundings. These are
entirely charming in color and ar
rangement, while the simmer of
silks, the CLEAN of firelights and the
softness of the hair show her mastery
of technique.
Taken all in all the exhibition was
a rare treat and one which we hope
may be repeated in subsequent
seasons.

ADMITTED TO BAIL
Mrs. Dodge Of Lunenburg Win Not
Be Given a Hearing Until Grand
jury Meets In October.

Mrs. +. Marshall Dodge of Lunen-
burg, who was arrested on Sunday,
September 18, on the charge of MUIR
der in the first degree, for the al
legged murder of w. A. Heath in her
home the day before, has been ad-
mitted to bail in the sum of $4,000
and released from custody. This was
done at hearing in her own home
before Kyle T. Brown, justice Of the
peace, on Thursday last. =. N. Dodge,
deputy sheriff, and nephew of the
late Mr.. Dodge, and Julius Bell, hus-
band of the adopted daughter of Mrs.
Dodge, are her bondsmen and at the
close of the hearing Mrs. Dodge went
to the home of Mrs. Bell in South
Lunenburg to spend some time.
There will be no further hearing un-
til the grand jury of Essex county
meets in Guildhall on October IL.
Thus, for the time being, is ended
proceedings in one of the most in
teresting murder cases of recent
times in Vermont. In keeping with
the entire conduct of the case against
Mrs. Dodge. the admitting of wo-
man charged with murder in the first
y
er it was the wealth and prominence
of Mrs. Dodge in her home town or
whether the state has been unable
to make out case to support the
charge on which she was arrested
is a matter of conjecture as the rep
resentatives of the state refuse to
make public any Of their plans or
evidence in the case. Small bonds
may be asked in a capital crime
under a provision of the state laws,
which declare that if the state is
unable to show premeditation, or if
the presumption of guilt is great but
the proof is small, the prisoner can
be admitted to bail.
This much is known. The warrant
charging murder in the first degree
and States Attorney Hunt has faith
fully followed every possible clue
of evidence. The attorney
general of Vermont, j. G. Sar-
gent of Ludlow, came to Lunen-
burg last Wednesday and went
over the case with the states at
torney. 1t was supposed then a
preliminary hearing would be held
the next day. On Thursday morning
he and Mr.. Hunt held a conference
with Harry Blodgett and Harland
B. Howe of this place, attorneys for
MIS-. Dodge, and after the confer
ence Mr.. Sargent left Lunenburg
without making any statement re-
garding the states case. Counsel
for Mrs. Dodge says, however, that
Mr.. Sargent admitted to them that
the state was not ready to assume
a murder had been committed.
Counsel for Mrs. Dodge also states
that there is no sign of insanity, no
evidence that Mrs. Dodge was adj
dicted to the use of drugs and no
evidence that she committed murder.
She adheres strictly to her first ac-
count of the tragedy that she was
in the kitchen when the shots were
fired and has no knowledge who fired
them, also that she told Mr.. Heath
that forenoon that she had a re-
volver and kept it in the bureau.
That, however, is her story and the

GOOD ROADS TOUR
Successful Trip Yesterday by the
Members of the Coming Legis-
Iature Over Caledonia
County Roads.
County Roads.

The good roads tour planned by
the st. Johnsbury Commercial Club
for yesterday was held and very we'll
attended. There were seven auto
mobiles carrying 35 people in the
party which left st. Johnsbury shortly
after seven in the morning and re-
turned shortly after six last evening.
There were two accidents on the
trip. In the morning a car hired
from the Goss garage burst a tire
and delayed the party in it for a
considerable time. The car was fixed
and completed the trip however. On
the return just before reaching the
bridge above the village the steering
gear on the Gilman Brothers car
driven by Dan Gilman, broke and the
car ran into a post on the lower side
of the road and smashed the front of
the car quite badly. None of the oc-
cupants we're injured but it was a
very narrow escape as the car came
very near going over the bank.
The route as outlined last week
was followed to Barton where the
party had dinner. In the afternoon
run was made to Willoughby Lake
and from there through West Burke
to Lyndonville. The party went
then to the home of T. N. Vail who
had invited them to make a stop.
Coffee and cake were served, Mr..
Vail played selections on the organ
and in response to questions express
ed himself as opposed to any scheme
to bond the state to build stone roads
saying the state could not afford to
build them or maintain them after
they were built. Our dirt and gravel
roads are the best if the water is
kept from under them and off the
top. The party then inspected the
stock and barns and returned to st.
Johnsbury where supper was served
at the Avenue House and the subject
of roads Informally discussed.
A fuller account of the ideas of
the new law makers on good roads
will be given next week.

Child Hurt by Auto.

On Saturday morning as N. R. Young
was going down Maple street In his at1-
tomobile he had a very unpleasant ex-
perience. When about half way to Cher
ry street he saw a team with a bov in it
standing squarely in the middle of the
street. He slowed down his machine
and blew his horn but the boy paid no
attention. Just as he reached it six
years old girl ran out from the house at
40 Maple street and ran directly in front
of Mr. Young's car. He veered to the
left and but for the high curbing would
have gone down over the bank. AS it
was he struck the child who paid no at
tention to his shouts, but did not run
over her.
The little girl, who is a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Toussant, was un-
conscious when picked up and it was
feared at first that she was seriously IN
jured. Her collar bone was broken and
she was very badly bruised but the doc
tor reported yesterday that she was get
ting along all right. The machine had a
front wheel crushed and the axle broken.
It was narrow escape for the child but
no one attaches any blame to Mr..
Young.
