Arson Case Testimony Finished
At the opening Of the morning ses-
sion the testimony was resumed IN the

with burning the house of j. +. Brown.
,nhe accused resumed his Place on the
stand and testified that he never told
Jacob Hester that he set fire to the
house and did not drink with Hester,
though rum was offered him He also
denied being with Ella Hartland near
the Brown house the night of the fire,
or that he told Mrs. Goss to keen her
mouth shut about what she knew.
Mr.. Maynard said that James Com
stock told him of the fire: He mann
tained that he had been to Gardner

it was about 1915 and at the Nc

gy, and wandered about some time be-
fore he got home. He denied know
ing anything about the fire or what
caused it. He said the Hartland wom-
an had not lived with him. but had
been to his place to straighten up his
house, and he paid her for it. He told
her that Brown had not used her right
as his housekeeper. After the fire he
told her she was suspected and told
her to be prepared to prove where she
was that night, and she said she could.

convicted four times since 1891 of theft
and once he served time in Wethers-
field and another time a year in jail.

amy, to which he pleaded not guilty,
and at the request of his counsel, At
torney Barnes, the matter went over
until Tuesday for trial. State At
torney Hull desired the trial at once,
but the counsel for the accused
claimed that he had not previously

For soma time he has been about
this section and was employed as an
attendant at the state hospital once
when he used the name LaPorte. He
was under the surveillance of the po-
lice quite a little during that tir-ra. but

WILL TRY SPENCER
IN NOVEMBER.
Date Set for the 18th and an Insanity
Defense is Expected.

1t has been announced by Chief JUS
tice John Adams Aiken of the Massa-
chusetts superior court that Monday,
Nov. 13, has been selected as the day
for opening the trial at Springfield of
Bertram G. Spencer. formerly of Leba-
ron, who is charged with the murder of
Miss Martha B. Blackstone in Spring
field on March Is, 1910.
Summons will be issued in due course
for 200 talesmen, as was done a year
ago. when Spencer was first scheduled
to be tried. The defense is generally
expected to be the same as that pre-
pared last year. insanity. Spencer is
reported to be in poor physical condi-
tion, and it is barely possible that he
will not be well enough to face trial in
November 1t was learned that he col
lapsed completely last week when one
of the prisoners at the jail attempted
to hang himself This man was In a
cell not far away from SpencerS, and
when Spencer heard of it he fell in a
swoon and did not regain his senses for
nearly three hours. 1t is understood
that he has had two or three other
fainting spells since his return from
Bridgewater in August
1t is not expected that Lawyers Sta
platon and C. L. Young, who were ap-
pointed by the court to defend Spencer
will ask to have the case tried in an
other county. They did this last year
and the request was refused by Chief
Justice Aiken. A change of venue has
never been granted in this state, and
nothing short of actual mob violence
would be likely to induce the court to
grant one. Spencer has been visited
by experts in insanity since he came
back from Bridgewater, and they are
known to have reported that he is still
in an unsound mental condition. 1t is
understood that while he was in
Bridgewater the experts appointed to
watch him reported for eight months
that he was insane, and then they re-
versed and for the next two weeks they
reported him sane.
Ali these reports are likely to figure
in the trial, If it ever takes place, and
the insanity experts will probably take
up many days of the trial. Lawyer
Stapleton would not disclose his plan
of defense, but it would not be sur
prising if he again asked to have his
client committed to an insane asylum
before the date of the trial. If he does
this he will meet with the strenuous
opposition of the district attornn~ Nc
announcement has yet been made about
the judge to preside at the Spencer
trial, but it is assumed to be Judge
Crosby, who is sitting at the present
term.

Strike of Masons' Tenders for Four

Several building contracts about the

necessary on one of the jobs that the

that a number are not working, in adj
