Horace W. Bailey of Rutland, Unit
ed States marshal, while in Brattleporo
Friday afternoon was asked concerning
the possibility of the marshal being
made federal hangman IN vermont.
He acknowledged that there was per.
haps more than possibility, IN tne
matter. Matthew Carlyle, the tora
Ethan Allen trooper who killed TWO
persons on the reservation few, weeks
AGO. is to be tried in the federal court
at Rutland, his trial being set Tor NOV.
81 If the accused man should be fonnd
puiltv and sentenced to death the only
person with authority to carry out the
mandate of tine law is the marshai.
Marshal Bailey can, however, delegate
tbe Job of executioner to some OF ms
IDENTITIES which he will doubtless 40
should he be called upon to act IN tne
capacity of hangman. Mr. Bailey. says
he has been accused Of looking IKE
comedian and acting like Methodlst.
He is willing to let his autoplograpns
stand as it is rather than add the ti,le
of hangsman to the various decorations
no has received at the hands of the pro-
letariat.
