States Attorney Carver Recommended
1t in Washington County Court To-
day-0ther Cases Heard, In
GLIDING Liquor Action.

The sequel to the conviction of John
Turley of second degree murder in kill
ing John McAuley in Websterville last
July came in Washington county court
to-day, when the companion case of
State VS.. Alphonse Primavera, who was
arrested at the same time as Turley,

quarryman 40 years Of age, has been in
the county Jail at Montpelier since July
II, having been held without bail pend
ing the investigation of the grand jury
and then following his indictment joint.
ly with Turley.
In asking that the case against Prima-
vera be mol pressed, States Attorney
Carver made no statement; but it is
inferred that the recommendation was
made because of the nature of the testi-
mony during the trial, which went to
show that Primayera had no trouble
with the others in the party at the
Staples house in Websterville, where all
were gathered the night of the tragedy.
Witnesses testified that he left the house
at midnight, and others testified that
McAuley was remaining there with sew
eral others.

N. Theriault of Montpelier. On recon-
mendation of States Attorney Carver,

of court, bail being fixed at $500.
The case of State vs.. Rice, charged
with dynamiting fish, went to the jury
this afternoon at IL o'clock, following
the completion of the arguments this
forenoon. The testimony was complet-
ed yesterday afternoon. The respondent
Rice was put on the stand and said he
placed the dynamite near the brook to
break up ledge from which it was de-
sired to get building stone He said he
placed the stick of explosive four
inches from the water and that he saw
no dead fish after the explosion.
Several other witnesses were called to
corroborate his story. One of them said
the dynamite was placed six feet from
the water and it was testified that after
the blast was fired about a cartload OF
small stones were thrown into the large
hole in the brook at this point. After
the defense had concluded, States At
torney J. Ward Carver called several
witnesses in rebuttal.

General WI, Brilliant Young
Chinese Soldier, Victim
OF 80 MANCHUS SOLDIERS
When They Were Arrested They Charged
That Gen. WI Was Secretly Betray-
ing the Manchus, Having Gone
over to the Revolutionists.

Picking, China, Nov. General WI,
brilliant young military officer, who
was recently appointed governor OF
Shan-Si province, was assassinated this
morning. General WI was asleep in
his tent at -Chuang when thirty
Manchu soldiers rushed past the guard
and murdered him. The Manchus, when
arrested, stated that General WI had
gone over to the revolutionists and was
secretly betraying the Manchus.
Picking Stills Stands.
The reports that Peking had fallen
into the hands of the reyolutionists were
without foundation There has been no
fighting whatever here and there is no
evidence that the emperor or regent have
fled. Prince Ching continues to act as
premier pending the arrival of Yuan Shi-
kal. There is no indication that Peking
was even endangered.
Censorship Removed.
The removal of the rigorous censor
ship hitherto imposed on the Chinese
press is notable sign of the times.
The Chinese papers to-day publish with
the greatest freedom long accounts Of
the Hankow massacre, giving the CORY
details and attributing the blame to the
imperialist leaders for both the Hankow
and Shanghai outbreaks. As conse-
quence of these publications there is in
creased animosity towards the Man
chus.
The United States and Great Britain
have decided TO take effective measures
for the protection Of their people in
China. in event of danger to foreigners,
which, however, does not yet appear
probable.
A private letter from an officer OF
Yuan Shi Kwi's staff says that the
rebel leader, Gen. Ii Yuen-Heng, makes
rs demands, the most important Of
which is that the imperial household
shall proceed to Jehol with the entire
court, including the eunuchs, and shall
remain there, receiving in return ade-
auate pensions from the new government
which is to be republican.
A special secret meeting of the ma.
tional assembly yesterday decided to
telegraph Quan Shi Kai explaining the
fearfully involved condition Of the po-
litical situation ut Peking, which re-
quired the immediate presence of the
premier. Otherwise, the assembly would
be unable to tide over the difficulties,
A member of the assembly explains that
this is fair warning and that if Yuan
does not comply, another premier pos
sibly may be appointed.
Consular reports from Mukden say
that many Chinese are fleeing into the
country, in the belief that the Manchus
will retreat to Mukden and massacre
the Chinese inhabitants.
The only demand the people have
made lately which the throne has not
granted is the punishment of the Off
cials responsible for the Hankow slaugh-
ter. Noting this the Chinese in Peking
consider it further proof of the
thrones weakness, that it has not dared
to antagonize any faction or party.
