JURY DECIDES TO
HANG ARTHUR
BOSWORTH
First Verdict Of Kind Under
the New Law.
FOR KILLING MAY LA BELLE
Murderer was an Enelishman Who
Had Tried to Force Attentions
on the Girl

Burlington, Nov ga verdict OF
guilty, accompanied by recommen-
dation of capital punishment, was
returned yesterday by the jury that
heard the evidence in the case Of Ar
thur Bosworth, charged with the MUIR
der of Miss Mae Labelle at Essex
Junction last summer. The jury was
dismissed after the members had
been thanked by Judge Alfred A. Hall
who presided at the trial. The pris-
oner appeared confident when he fac
ed the jury yesterday morning, and
his expression did not change when
its verdict was announced. Bosworth
was removed TO the Jail Immediately.
Sentence will probably be pronounc-
ed Wednesday.
The case was given to the jury ON
Thursday afternoon and shortly be-
fore 10. o'clock Thursday night the
jury filed back into the court room
for instructions. They asked the
court for ruling as to what point
of insanity a man must reach to be
irresponsible for his acts After Sc
curing this information the jurors
again took up the consideration of
the verdict. This took but a short
time, but as court had adjourned in
the meantime, the jurors then went
to their hotel for the night.
Testimony given at the trial show
ed that Bosworth was infatuated with
the Labelle girl, who objected to his
attentions, Both were employed in
the same hotel and as a result of a
complaint made by Miss Labelle to
the management, Bosworth was dis
charged
The court solemnly charged the
jury that their duty did not stop with
the finding of these facts. IF you
find a verdict of murder in the first
degree, being convinced, beyond a
reasonable doubt of the respondents
guilt most important duty falls up
on you" The Judge then read the
section providing for a recommends
ton of the jury of capital punishment
in cases where a verdict of murder
in the first degree is reached.
The crime for which Bosworth TO
day stands convicted was the shoot
ing OF Mae Labelle at the Central
Vermont railroad depot in ESSEX
Junction June last. Bosworth emp
tied his revolver at the girl. Both
had been employed at Johnsons no

Tlaht Clothes Cause tuberculosis

Chicago, Nov. 2S-The hobble and
tube skirts and other tight-fitting gar
ments are given as cause for tuber-
culosis by DR.. Heman Spalding chief
of the Bureau of Medical Inspection.
Loose fitting clothes are, he declares,
proper for maintaining health and
happiness.
DR.. Spalding recommends that sizes
in coats and underwear be purchased
about four sizes larger than those you
have been accustomed to, if they
have been tight-fitting. If you have
been wearing a tight-dtting hobble or
tube skirt, ne recommends that you
forget the styles and order a hoop
skirt. Another recommendation is
that when you walk along the streets,
shrug your shoulders and allow the
cold air to circulate beneath your
clothing If you would nave health
you must give the skin air just as
you would the lungs.

KILL 80 DOES AND FAWNs
Evidence to Convict Any Rutland
County Hunter is Lacking.

Rutland, Nov. 23.-Thirty deer H.
legally killed, including both does and
fawns, have been reported so far dur
ing the open season to County Ward
en- Fred w. Hayward Of this city. The
carcasses of all but four were in con-
dition so that they were sold in the
interest Of the State. Most OF the
deer were found dead but half doz-
en- were seen running about the
woods badly wounded and were or
dered shot by wardens. There is as
yet no evidence at hand which will
convict single person for any OF
these violations of the law. Many
hunters think that the number OF does
shot is no larger than in average
years but that more are found be-
cause OF the snow on the ground, the
bare leaves when the open season
was in October making 1t easier for
poachers to cover up their tracks.
w. w. Scott and his son, DR.. w. j.
Scott of this city unintentionally VIC
lated the law at Mt Holly this week,
shooting three bucks whereas the
statute states that no person shall
kill more than one deer. They had
killed a buck and had a shot at a sec
ond. Failing to find IL after a search
they thought that their bullets had
missed and shot a third. killing II.
Subsequently they discovered the
dead body of the oeer which had got
away. They Immediately reported
the matter to the county warden and
turned over the extra buck to the
State. Mr.. Hayward has referred the
matter to John W. Titcomb, State
fish and game commissioner, but 1t Is
generally believed that, as the mer
acted in good faith, there will be ne
prosecution.
