 There is quite a history to this house. which is one of the oldest in the town. When or by whom it was first built few, if any, know. It is cer- tainly over 100 years old. It was known to the older residents of the present time in their boyhood as the Wiclwire place. Later it passed to ownership of Mrs. Gideon Raymond, who was a member of the Wickwire family. Still later it was purchased by the Baptist society of Chesterfield and used as a parsonage for long time. It remain ed in the possession of the society until about two years ago. but was leased for several years by the present owner before he purchased it. Mr. Powers has to, some extent remodeled the in terior, but many evidences of old time construction are still visible
 At one time there was large room in the house which was used for dances.

DELAYED BY HIS
W|FE'S PLEA
Respite for Two Months Grant
ed by Gov. Dix.
NEW TRIAL TO BE HELD
Mrs. Charles 1. Green Says Murder Of
Her Daughter Was Due to
Mothers Wronsdolne

Albany, April 26.-In response to
the plea Of his wife, who, in an afiida-
Wit, confessed to inGdelity which re.
suited in the murder for which he was
convicted, Charles L. Green, formerly
OF New Scotland, now awaiting death
at the Clinton prison, was respited for
two months by Gov. Dix to afford
counsel time TO bring proceedings for
new trial Green was to have been
executed next week. His respite
holds good until the week beginning
June "a.
Mrs. Green told Gov. Dix in her az
fidavit that she had implored her hus-
band to let her tell on the stand the
story that might have mitigated his
offense, but he stoutly declined to
avail himself of this offer and even
forbade her to do so. Green, on July
q, after having. heard from the wife
the story of her wrong-doing, shot
and killed their daughter, Eva Green,
and wounded his wife by another shot.
Mrs. Green originally petitioned
Gov Dix to commute her husbands
death sentence to life Imprisonment.
This the governor declined to do.
Green himself refused to sign the pc
tition for clemency, declaring in his
prison cell that he was resigned to
his fate and preferred to die.
