No More Hazing at Montpelier.

x
their walking papers by the author
tiles of Montpelier Seminary, as the
upshot of it all the boys have agreed
to refrain from hazing while students
that institution. The agreement
reads eve, the undersigned, agree Cd
to refrain from hazing while students
at Montpelier Seminary, and (2) to
dissuade our schoolmates from the
practice"
This agreement was signed by al! the
boys, and shows their attitude and
that of the school on the subject.
The agreement was formulated and
forwarded by the students themselves,
without the knowledge or encourage
ment of the faculty.
The agreement was handed in to
Principal DR.. E. A. Bishop last Tues
day and in commenting upon it the
Doctor said "This agreement is.
take it taking forward ground on the
question of hazing and | trust that
other schools will follow" The prin-
cipal denounced hazing in the most
virulent terms as an unmitigated evil.
Lunenburg's Alleged Murder Case.
In keeping with the mystery that
has marked the great tragedy from
September IT, when William A.
Heath. the Dalton, N. H., painter,
was found dead, shot through the
back at the home of Mrs. J. Marshall
! Dodge, the state anticipated the
thrice postponed justice hearing, and
placed its, evidence against Mrs.
Dodge before the grand jury on it's
court at Guildhall last week.
This DOUn WAS q oOOonlntn 1naot of
the expected program. but within the
right of the state. Mrs. Dodge has
! been out under So, 900 bonds, charged
with the crime since the week follow
ing the shooting, but no evidence has
! been placed before the justice. her
case being continued from time to
time. The last pOstponement of the
! justice hearing was to October 20, but
taking the privilege of the state law,
the attorney summoned witnesses to
appear before the grand jury.
This new move protects the state
from showing it's hand to the lawyers
for the defense. Atty. Gen. John
G. Sargent. of Ludlow, was at Guild
hall and conducted the case for the
state. At the sitting but two wit
nesses were examined and it is ex-
pected that several days will elapse
before all of the evidence of the pros
ecution is placed before the jury
which will decide whether or not this
woman will be indicted. In the mean
time, Mrs. Dodge is in Guildhall
awaiting a consultation with her at
: torneys, Blodgett and move. of ST.
Jonnsbury.
Mr.. Howe refuses to make any
statement concerning evidence he
b1y in hOb n Of HI n l.
$ ent. He reiterated again and agar
a his personal belief in the innocence Of
! Mrs. Dodge, AMI saws she is simply {
( victim of unfortunate conditi ons
i which will right themselves when tht
t facts are known.
0 He says his client has suffered in
. public opinion because she has beer
out under bonds when she is supposed
t to be a woman of wealth but her fl
/ nancal condition has been greatl
- overrated and she is within the priv
y lege of the law when admitted to bail
u Mr.. Howe asserts that Mrs. Dodge
IL attitude has at all times been that O
an innocent woman accused of sever
e crime and that she has shown as niue
q feeling, no more and no less. as woul
any intelligent woman placed in sin
W liar position.
