Mrs. Josephine AVerill In
Franklin County Jail
FOR HUSBANDS DEATH
States Attorney Johnson Is Looking Up
Evidence, and He Finds That She
Bore None Too Good
Reputation.

st. Albans, Oct. 24-Duing his inves-
tigation of the fatal shooting of Frank
Averill, for which the victims wife, Mrs.
Frank Ayerill, has been arrested, States
Attorney Johnson has questioned those
in the neighborhood who knew the Aver
ills. He has found that the Averills
and Mr.. and Mrs John Berg were to-
gether on the evening when Averill was
shot. Mr.. Averil spent the time churn-
ing, while Mrs Averill and the Bergs
took occasional drinks OF hard cider.
The Bergs say they left the Averiils'
house at about S;S0 and there were no
signs of trouble then.
Mr.. Berg says that his attention was
later called to someone calling, and he
traced the sound to the house of Frank
West They went to the West house
and found Averill there wounded. Mrs.
Averil was also there, and she kept
saying to- her husband: 1T was an
accident, wasn't it, Frankg" to which
the injured man replied: Eyes, Joseph
inc, it was an accident; you are not to
blame.
1t is said that when Mrs Berg re-
turned to the Ayerill house to get cloth
ing to cover the wounded man she found
everything in confusion, whereas things
were orderly when she had left there
earlier in the evening. People say that
Averill was a peaceable man and when
his wife would swear at him he would
pass it off lightly.
When arrested she collapsed for the
first time since her husbands death, FRI
day evening, and she is at present in a
very nervous condition. She refused to
make any statement or to- discuss the
matter before her arrest. The three
year-old daughter is with ner mother
at the Jail.
Mrs. Averill is about 40 years old
and is large Irish woman with con.
siderable brogue. Her appearance is not
prepossessing and she continues TO say
that her husband told the truth when
he exonerated her before mis- death.
1'he authorities, after an examination
OF the premises and the body Of the
dead man thought the arrest should be
made.
Mr.. Averill's body was taken from
the undertaking rooms of J. F. Sullivan
Saturday morning to Franklin his for
mer home, where the funeral took place
al one o'clock Saturday afternoon. The
body was accompanied to franklin BY
