will decide whether or not this woman
will be indicted. In the meantime, Mrs.
Dodge is in Guildhall awaiting CON
sultation with her attorneys, Blodgett
& Howe, of St. Johnsbury.
Mr. Howe refuses TO make any state
ment concerning evidence he may have
secured in behalf Of his client He re-
iterated again and again his personal
belief in the innocence Of Mrs. Dodge,
and says she is simply victim Of I'M
fortunate conditions, which will right
themselves when the facts are known.
He says his client has suffered in pub
lie opinion because she has been out
under bonds when she is supposed to
be woman Of wealth. Her financial
condition mas been greatly over.rated
and she is within the privilege of the
law when admitted to bail. Mr.. Howe
asserts that Mrs. Dodge's attitude has
at all times been that of an innocent

that she has shown as much feeling,
no more and no less, than would any
intelligent woman placed in a similar

Mr.. Howe is as much in the dark as
to the outcome Of the grand jury ses-
sion as any other man, but does not
hesitate for moment to express his
positive belief in her final acquittal and
vindication.
