for improvements. Last year when
these streets were being macadamiz-
ed, the local district was without the
funds for the contemplated changes,
and was forced to wait until the ap-
preparation was forthcoming.

DR.. B. II. Stone, pathologist Of the
state laboratory at Burlington, who
performed the autopsy, confirmed the
statements Of Dr. S. K. Grey as TO
the cause of MofIit's death. He
stated that in most cases of a similar
nature death would have resulted in
a few hours. DR.. Charles f. Dalton,
chemist at the state laboratory, tes-
tilted along similar lines. Motifs

trial, proved very entertaining yes
terday afternoon, and at the same
time gave as smooth a story, Of the
happenings of the night of Mrach II,
as any of his fellow townsmen. His
one point OF variance is in the num-
Der OF times which the respondent
struck Mr.. Motif, he, George, claim

three blows George said, He'd
knock him down every time he come"

Duplis, brothers Of the respondent,
and sought evidence as to the reason
of their departure from the State on
March 10. Neither brother was very
free in answering the questions Of
Mr. Sargent, but, on cross examina-
ton, James claimed to have been
warned that, if they remained in
these parts, certain parties would do
them up and, they wouldn't use their
hands to do it either" Further ex-

North Adams Transcript
The same thing happened last year
and the trouble originated in the
same manner. North Adams lost a
game to Bennington and at once put
up kick that it didn't count in the
league series. If the five team league
is arranged at the meeting in North
Adams tomorrow the possibility
of such wrangles should
be eliminated. 1t would seem as
though persons who are old enough
to understand the use of a razor
ought to be capable of getting togeth,
err and deciding few things that are
and some things that aren't going tc
happen

The Bennington team left this noon
for Pittsfield to play league game
with Manager Garry's men. Accord
ing to the regular order Burns should
be in the box for Bennington this af-
ternoon. If the order is followed out
strictly Wheeler will pitch against
the Lakeville, Conn, team at Morgan
park Saturday afternoon and Bosk
against Pittsfield at Tudor park on
July 2. AS there is game with
North Adams at Morgan park on
Monday and two games on Tuesday
with the Jeffersonians the order may
be changed and it may be necessary
to use an outside pitcher for one of
the games.
