VERMONT WOMAN TO
BE TRIED FOR MURDER
Accused of Shooting House Painter
at Her Home.

GuildhalI, VT, April 23-The atten-
ton of this northern New England
community and all Vermont, as well,
is centered on the antiquated wooden
courthouse where. forsaizing their SUI
gar making and spring farming, the
Essex county talesmen will assemble
this week and next for the trial OF Mrs.
j. Marshall Dodge OF Lunenberg, Who
is charged with numbering William
Heath, q house painter.
Although the court convenes next
Tuesday, attorneys concerned say that
the Dodge case may not be called be-
fore Monday, May 1. Not since the
conviction and execution of Mrs. Mary
Rogers for the murder of her husband,
six years ago, has a woman been
placed on trial for her life in Vermont.
The social prominence Of Mrs. Dodge,
who is well to do widow. and the
absence SO far as popular knowledge
is concerned. of any apparent motive
for the murder, lend added interest to
the present case.
Much mystery surrounds the death
of Heath. The man was painting the
interior of a bedroom of Mrs. sDodge's
home in Lunenberg on September II
last when neighbors heard three shots
fired. They rushed to the house, as
Mrs. Dodge appeared crying for help,
and found Heath's body on the floor
OF the bedroom.
adrS- Dooses WHO Is lie Only Otner
person known to have been. in the
house. said she was in the kitchen
when she heard the shots fired. The
medical examiner decided from the
autopsy that Heath could not have
committed suicide Only one of the
bullets took effect and it seemed ap-
parent that the painter had been shot
while his back was toward the door
of the bedroom.
A revolver discovered in the bed
room was found to have been formerly
the property of Mrs. Dodge's husband,
who was high sheriff of Essex county
previous to his death.
Mrs. Dodge was arrested. but was
and since then has resumed her active
part in the social affairs of the town
