NILES GIVEN HIS SENTENCE
Must Go to Jail for 60 Days and Pay
Fine of SIS

George p. Niles, who was arrested
at his home in SALISBURY on July
IA last charged with what at the time
was believed to have been fatal as
sault upon his father-in-law, Charles
Barton, was brought before the NUM-
cipal court this morning and .sentenc-
ed to 60 days in the county Jail and
to pay fine Of SIS.
At the time oil Niles arrest his
wifes father was lying dead in the
house and it was then believed that
the older man had been done to death
by his son-in-law who had been drink
ing heavily for some time and who
was thoroughly intoxicated when lod-
ged in the county Jail. Following the
arrest an autopsy was made by DR..
B. II. Stone, pathologist at the state
laboratory in Burlington, and on July
20, Niles was arraigned in municipal
court AT the hearing States Attor-
ney W. j. Meagher gave the details
OF the pathologist's report that the
older mans death was not brought
about by any direct violence on the
part of Niles but was due to excite
ment and oyer-exertion. Niles wav-
ed examination and was held for the
grand jury and in default OF $500
bonds was committed to jail He was
released later when bail was secur-
ed.
Niles was taken into court this
morning upon his request that an in.
formation be filed against him by the
states attorney. Since the affair at
the Niles home last July the only wit
nesses to the assault, Mrs. Niles and
Mrs Barton, have begun to show a

the disposition of the case made this
morning was deemed to be the best

RARE MUSICAL TREAT
Or. Harry Rowe Shelley, organist and
Miss Maeee ContraIto

Bennington will be favored on Fri
day night, December Sth with an or
gan recital given in the Baptist
church by DR.. Harry Rowe Shelley,
one of the foremost masters of organ
technique in the United States. On
the same occasion the Bennington
public will have the opportunity of
hearing one of New York's most sue
cessful contralto voices, Miss Magee
who has been singing under the skill
full supervision of DR.. Shelley. Miss
Magee has made profound impress
sion upon all who have heard her
voice and will no doubt please I'M
mensely the music loving public OF
Bennington.
DR.. Shelley needs no Introduction
to a Bennington audience, having APP
peared here before in the presence OF
large and enthusiastic audiences. His
years of service at the organ in the
Fifth Avenue Baptist church in New
York City and his reputation as a
private organist in the prominent
homessGi New York. as well as the
fame he has achieved in the compos-
ition of exquisite Christmas and Eas.
ter music, have made him favorite
in all the higher musical circles of
both America and Europe.
In announcing the coming of so dis
tinguished a musical artist, the com
mittee in charge realizes that 1t is
Offering one of those rare treats
which no one can afford to miss and
which the subscription price of one
dollar suggests no equivalent return.
DR.. Shelley's time Is so valuable and
his services so eagerly sought for that
1t is the barest possibility that he
will ever be able, even though solicit
ed by his most intimate friends, tc
come to Bennington again. His in
strumental selections, as well as the
vocal numbers of Miss Magee will be
such as thrill the soul and leave only
the pleasantest memories of an even
ing well spent and an occasion afford
ing the most delightful "reminiscences.

Dor" Standing before the desk OF
the Hotel Victoria where he had just
signed the register, Samuel Gompers
spoke with his hands appraised and
in broken voice.
He arrived last night on his way
to Troy, n. Y, where he goes to at
tend a meeting of the state factory
investigating committee. He said he
first heard the news that the McNam-
ara brothers had pleaded guilty, one
to murder and the other to Blowing
up an iron works, as the train was
coming from Manhattan Junction TO
the Pennsylvania station.
He was much overcome by the
news for Ii was not so long ago that
he interviewed the brothers In jail at
Los Angeles and received both their
assurances that they were innocent
of the charges and that they wanted
him to let labor know that they were
the victims of conspiracy.
81 am utterly dumfounded by what
| have heard" he said. "The news
that came to me was simply bullet
in from a press association, and j
have had no chance as yet to think
on the subject and on what 1t Will
mean to the laboring men OF this
country"
His SLOUGH hat was pulled down
well over his eyes in the evident at
tempt to conceal his emotion. His
voice showed that he was laboring
under strong feeling.
I'VE have been imposed upon In
that affair cruelty, for there has been
no doubt in my mind that the accused
men we're innocent of the charges.

opinion but by the assurance of the

as near as ! can remember, Take this
message to the laboring men OF the

job and we are innocent ] saw no
reason for doubling their word"
AS he continued talking. Mr.. Com
pers said again and again, with a
note of sorrow in his voice:
I'VE have been deceived; we have
been imposed upon"
"Of course in the minds of many, "
he continued. their action will have
a damaging effect upon labor and the
labor movement in this country, but
the realization viii come that labor
is not back OF brutality and crime. II
will be realized that we extended TO
them our sympathy and help because
we believed in their protestations OF
innocence. The effect on labor will
be depressing. but II will not be last
ing and whatever little the cause has
lost II will soon regain. Labor is
represented by organizations and not
by the acts OF individuals and It will
be seen that we acted in good faith
and gave our help toward what we
considered a good cause"
