Guildhal, VI. May IA belated
bit OF evidence having an important
bearing on the case of Mrs Florence
NJ. Dodge, of Lunenburg, whose trial
for the alleged murder Of William
Heath is drawing to a close in the
Essex county court here. WAS received
today by Attorney Harry Blodgett of
st. Johrsbury. senior counsel for the
defendant. Whether this evidence can
be placed before the jury is a matter
Ct doubt, inasmuch as the case is
closed, SO far as evidence is concern
ed, and arguments are now i'll pro-
gress. The belated evidence is in the
form of a letter which WAS written by
Mrs. Dodge to Miss Edwina Blodgett
daughter of Attorney Blodgatt The
letter was dated Concord. VT, Dec
y. 1910" and was mailed upon the
same date. according to the post Of
fee stamp. The letter acknowledged
Mrs. Dodge's receipt of and thanks
for Christmas gift sent to her by
Miss Blodgett.
The Importance cf this letter rests
in tie fact that it would tend to
support Mrs. DodGe's claim that she
was at Concord. Vt, on Dec. p last
This is the date ca which a letter
was mailed from Brookline. Mass, to
Attorney General Sargent, signed M

OF the appearance and movements Of
the man who shot Heath" 1t is
claimed by the prosecution that this
IN. j. s." letter is in Mrs. Dodge's
handwriting, and when Mrs Dodge
was being crossed examined by the
attorney general, she was obliged to
write, at the attorney generals die
tation the text of the m. j. s" let
ter. The handwriting expert, testify
ing for the State, said that in his
opinion the original m. ]. s" letter
was written by the same person who
wrote the text in dictati0n.

ter as evidence the letter written by

as evidence and entered as an ex-
hibit. In showing the letter to the
jury, Mr.. Howe called attention to
what he considered marked dis
slmliarities between the handwriting
as compared with the M. j. s." letter
sent to Attorney General Sargent. Mr.

his plea, which, it was generally

upon looking over the situation and

Dan Green, one of the best
known miners in town, died at the
Miners hospital Saturday after a
lingering illness from consumption,
and he was buried this afternoon
from the local undertaking parlors,
the exercises and interment being

The deceased had been resi-
dent of Tonopah for some four or
five years. and in that time had
worked at various local mines. He
had no relatives in this part of the
country, and he left it to his as
sociates and fellow-workmen to per-

MORE LIENS
ARE FILED ON
LEMON Mill
A MORTGAGE FOR $4,000 GIVEN
BY PRIEST WILL BE
CONTESTED.

Two more liens have been filed
against the Lemon mill at Manhat-
tan, on top of the nineteen record
ed the other day. These two latest
are by Campbell & Kelly of this
city for $721.11, and by H. J.
Meisel of Manhattan. His claim is
for $54 of labor rendered.
1t now develops that a mortgage
was filed on July 15 of last year,
for the sum of $4,000, by J. ".
Priest and the Nevada Reduction
company, in favor of the Eastern
hackers in the enterprise. The ex-
istence of this mortgage came as
"a Knockout blow to the present
creditors who have filed liens.
Judge Sanders is representing the
parties who have lately filed liens,
and c. 0. Burkert of Manhattan
some others. The validity Of the
mortgage will be attacked on the
ground that. it is practically given
by the owners of the property tc
themselves.
The mortgage was given the same
day as the mill was sold at sheriff's
sale to the Nevada Reduction com.
pany. Out of the existing compli-
cation some interesting suits may
develop, although an effort is being
made to smooth over all difficulties
by inducing the Eastern parties
interested in the enterprise to put
up enough money to satisfy all the
claims.

SEVERAL ToNoPAH RESIDENTS
FIGURING ON TAKING UP
HONIEsTEADS.

The editorial in Saturdays issue
.0f the Bonanza in regard to the
Opportunities in the Smoky valley
for the man who wishes to try his
hand at ranching, attracted consid-
cradle attention locally, and some
discussion.
One man remarked: 81 know
every foot of the Smoky valley,
and l know the paper did not over
state it as regards the accessibility
of water. It is easily procurable
at most places in the valley, and
at the prevailing high prices for hay
and ranch produce, the ranch life
looks good to me. l would go out
there tomorrow II my wife would
consent to leave town"
Several men in town are figurinl
on locating a homestead in the
valley in the near future, however.
The land Office has been written for
information regarding the conditions
OF settlement under the various gov
ernment land acts. Practically the
whole valley is open for settlement.
There are not at present over a
dozen ranches in its whole length.
