WOMAN'S TRIAL MAY SOLVE MURDER

Heath, painter. who was shot and
killed while at work in an upper
room of Mrs. Dodge's residence, early
in September, the interest in this
mysterious case is steadily increas-
ing. The trial is to come up week
after next and in the meantime,
Mrs. Dodge is at liberty, under
$4,000 bail.
This case. apparently simple and
devoid of sensational complications
has baffled the authorities, the law
yers and detectives more than any
case in the history Of criminal cases
in this state and it would cause the
most general surprise, should either
the prosecution or the defense sue

solve the mystery surrounding the
death of William Heath.

New York, Dec. 24.-The Board
of Water Supply today opened bids
for the construction of the great
tunnel which it is purposed to build
under Manhattan. The tunnel was
authorized as a part of the Catskill
water supply scheme, and will cost

For the greater part Of its length
it will be cut under solid rock. 1t

to be given the contractor in which
to finish the job.

1t Is expected that the defense Will
advance the theory that the stran-
ger. who afterward killed Heath.
may have entered the house with the
intent to commit robbery. In sup
port of that theory it is pointed out
that there was a small safe in he
room in which Heath was at work
at the time OF his death and that 1t
was the general belief in town that
Mrs. Dodge kept money and valua-
bles in that safe at different times.
The outcome of this mysterious case
is awaited with the greatest interest
by lawyers and the public in general.

government is believed to be ex-
tremely weak. as there were no wit
nesses to the crime and, in spite of
the most diligent search, the prose-
| cution is said to have found nothing
that could be construed as a motive
for the deed
The known facts in the case can
be summed up in few words. One
day in the early part of September.
Williahm Heath, painter who had
previously worked for Mrs. Dodge,
was engaged in painting the wood
work in one of the upper rooms of
Mrs. Dodge's residence. While
STOPPING over his work, Heath was
killed by three shots from revel-
yer which belonged to Mrs. Dodge.
No one could be found who was in
the house at the time when Heath
met his death, except the owner
Mrs. Dodge herself gave the alarm
to the neighbors, saying that Heath
had committed suicide. She was ar
rested and charged with the murder
of Heath.
According to Mrs. Dodge's story
at the preliminary hearing, she was
at work ironing in her kitchen, when
she heard the shots. She admitted
that the revolver. from which the
fatal shots had been fired, was her
property and had formerly belonged
to her husband. but asserted that
she had not touched the weapon since
her husbands death and had not
even known that it was loaded
The utter lack of motive seems
TO be the weak point Of the theory
that Mrs. Dodge committed the deed
with which she is charged. The de-
PENDANT is by far the wealthiest and
socially most prominent woman in
this town. There has never been a
breath Of suspicion concerning her
character. there seems to have been
nothing in her previous career that
even family suggested scandal or
any ENHANCEMENT Mrs. Dodge was
not only prominent in society, but
also in church work and enjoyed an
excellent reputation. On the other
hand, Heath, the victim Of the muir
der, was a hard working, sober and
industrious workman, quiet and in
offensive, without the slightest sus-
picion against his moral character or
his honesty He was married ana
had several children 1t is true,
that Heath and Mrs. Dodge had had
some slight difference concerning the
bill for some work which Heath had
done upon a previous occasion for
Mrs. Dodge, but the matter had been
smoothed over and Mrs. Dodge had
again engaged Heath to work for
her
At the coming trial Attorney Gen.
eral Sargent will be assisted by
States Attorney Hunt. while Harlan
B. Howe of ST. Johnsbury and sew
eral other distinguished lawyers will
be arrayed 10 defend Mrs. Dodge.
An interesting legal battle is eX-
pected and it is believed that the
state will be seriously handicapped
by its inability to show sufficiently
adequate motive on the part of the
defendant. Nothing definite is
known concerning the line upon
which Mrs. Dodges lawyers will
make their fight, but it is believed
they will attempt to show that some
stranger entered the house of Mrs
Dodge during the morning. without
the knowledge of the owner and,
that for some reason he shot Heath.

LIKED THE FRYING PANS.
Indians Found an Exciting Use For the
COOKING Utensils.

The Indian. however averse he may
be TO any kind OF useful labor. Is not
slow to avail himself OF a new source
Of amusement. This was shown some
years ago when among the supplies
sent by the government 10 a certain
agency in the west were several hun
bred large frying pans With long ham
dies.
These the Indian agent found I'm
stock when he took possession. and at
the end OF the year the number had
not been diminished. Thinking that
perhaps he had not discharged his
whole duty in the matter OF supplying
Uncle Sans wards with these culinary
utensils, the agent began making spe-
cial efforts TO induce the red men TO
use them.
At first 1t was hard work, but by the
time he had given out about two dozen
there came n sudden change. Not a
day passed in which the agent did not
have applications for at least a dozen.
and some days be disposed OF twice
that number
When the supply was nearly ex-
hausted he noticed among the appli-
cants some to whom he had previous
~ given pans. and naturally enough he
became trifle curious to know what
use they were making OF them BE
questioned several OF the men TO no
purpose. but at length a young buck
more communicative than the rest gave
him TO understand that If he would
visit a certain part OF the reservation
not far away he would find his in
Quiry answered.
The next day. therefore. the agent
rode out in the direction indicated.
About two miles from the agency he
noticed on the crest OF n narrow spur
OF the mountain three or four Indians
who suddenly disappeared on the OPP
posite side of the ridge. At the same
time he heard family the cry Of many
voices.
On turning the point OF the ridge he
saw n crowd OF several hundred In
dians who were shouting rs 1: greatly
excited He noticed also several OBJ
jects. which he at first supposed TO he
powders. descending the side OF the
mountain toward them with tremen-
dous rapidity.
Instead Of fleeing from these moving
objects the Indians simply applauded
and shouted Soon he saw other OBJ
jects like the first descending. and in n
short time the whole situation was
plain TO him.
Having selected long. smooth slope
OF the mountain where there were no
stones. the Indians had converted 1t
into n sort Of earthen toboggan slide
and were utilizing the frying pans as
tobocgans. Seating themselves in the
pans. they grasped the handles with
both hands: then. crossing their legs
over their arms. they went spinning
down the slide with great rapidity.
The agent let them have the few pans
that remained in the storehouse. but
did not order n new supply.-Harper' S

distant Once a week the innocent
little thing carried besides her violin
case and violin a package cunningly
secreted in the false bottom Of the vio-
lin case, which contained some twenty
or more pieces of counterfeit coin.
The music master. a rogue who was
in the know, found no-dihiculty in abb
stracting the package unnoticed by the
child and IN his turn passed it on to a

a male friend, who delivered IL safely

street corner. the package being this
time concealed in the false bottom OF
a canary cage. Thus II passed through
six hands, and besides the man him
self only the music master knew who
manufactured the coin.
The tailor was caught by an acct
dent. His little girl let the violin case
fan In the street, the bottom OF the
case was smashed, and all the coins,
done up in tissue paper. fell into the
street. The child, much mystified,
opened one Of the little packages. and
the glitter caught policeman's eye.
This mishap led TO the instant arrest
OF the tailor. who confessed. hoping
for light sentence. hope which was
not realized. Among the coiner's

works on chemistry. fourteen molds,

these London programs. although not
so thick as those OF New York. are not
devoid OF advertisements. This gives
the purchaser the feeling that he is be-
ing worked at both ends. A lady re-
minds me. however, that a program in
a New York theater costs her 10 cents,
as the smeary printing rubs of on her
white gloves. the cleaning Of which
costs a dime.
The quality OF the performance at
the better London theaters certainly
averages no higher than that at SINH

The Roman Tribune.

The tribunes In ancient Rome repre-
scented the people in much the same
way that the house Of commons does
in England and the house OF repre-
sentatives in this country. For long
time the patricians or aristocrats OF
Rome had everything their own way.
But when the plebeians Tor. as we
would say, the plain people'O got their
tribune the reckless tyranny OF the
patricians ceased. The tribune had
great power He could veto almost
any act and nullify almost any law
passed by the Romans. Liberty among
the Romans dates from the time they
first secured their tribunes.-New York
