The church was packed with a bril-
liant assemblage representing New
Yorks social and professional life, to-
gether with a sprinkling of foreign no
bility-relatiyes and friends OF the
bridegroom. Outside in the slushy
streets there pushed and showed the
usual crowd of curious persons who
make police arrangements such a
necessary part of a fashionable we'd
ding in New York.
The ceremony was performed by
Bishop David II. Greer of the Episco-
pal diocese of New York and Rev. DR..

Long before o'clock more than
100 patrolmen and detectives were on
their way to the church. At half.
past two o'clock they were stationed
block from he church in all direc-
tons and established zone through
which only the chosen might pass.
The guests began to assemble more
than an hour before the wedding. At
S:15 Lord Decies arrived, nearly an
hour before his brides car stopped at
the curb. He was respondent in his
uniform of the Seventh Hussars,
glitter with service medals and blue
and gold braid. Patent leather boots
glistened on his feet; he carried

arm, asd wore a sabre.
He was as calm as a soldier should
be. but bit perturbed lest the crowd

been planned carefully, however the
line held and there was no rushing of

10 YEAR OLD GIRL
TRIED TO KILL
HERSELF
Randolph Girl Who Was Living
In Boston
HER REASON NOT KNOWN
Turned on Gas In Her Room and
Unconscious When Found. Had
Been Unhappy.

Boston, Feb. S.-Miss Beatrice
Mann, the 19-year-old girl found un-
conscious from gas this morning in a
room ON Columbus avenue is the
daughter of Mrs. Ida Mann of Ran
dolph, Vt. The family moved to Bos-
ton from Vermont a short time ago.
The girl is at the city hospital and
it is feared that she is dying, but so
far as can be learned she has made
no explanation of what appears to
have been a suicidal attempt.
Among the articles which the girl
sent to her mother was a slip of pa
per on which was written in Bea-
trices hand rs life worth living?7
The finding of Miss Mann's uncon-
scious body ended a one-day search
that had been instituted by the girls
mother and the people at the dress
making establishment where Beatrice
was employed. They cannot imagine
why she wished to die. A love affair
however, is believed TO have been the
cause. The mother thinks she may
have been mentally unbalanced as
the result of a recent illness.
The police are endeayoring to trace
the package and note which was sent
to the mother. The note read,
Mamma Dear: No one is to blame
for my act but myself They were
very kind to me at the store and
everyone was kind to me. Beatrice. +"
The box was mailed in Boston, prob
ably by the girl herself but the effort
to trace it is made to make it certain.
One OF the girls friends, a Miss
Otis, says that Beatrice had had some
trouble and OF late she had seen her
weep often and that she appeared
much depressed.

Today is the 72d anniversary of the
last public execution in the state of
Vermont, the hanging at Bennington
Center of Archibald Bates OF Shafts
bury. OF the several thousand per
sons who witnessed the event there
is but one known survivor, Stephen
Niles of SALISBURY now in his Goth
year. He was not only a witness OF
the execution but he also had an of
fetal part in the proceedings being d
member of the SALISBURY militia
company which escorted Bates from
the Jail at Bennington Center to the
scaffold which was erected in an open
field and near the spot where the bat
tie monument now stands.
Bates was executed for the murder
of his sister-in-law, Harriet Jane
Bates, whom he shot through a win
dow as she sat in chair nursing
three-months old child He was tried
and convicted at the June term OF
court preceding his execution and con
fessed his crime. He had been a pei
sistent hard cider drinker for years
but the testimony at the trial showed
that the predominating cause for the
deed was jealousy of his brothers
family whom he believed had been favs
ored in the distribution OF the fathers
property.
At the time of the murder Stephen
Niles owned the farm adjoining that
on which the crime was committed
and the young man was one of the
first to arrive on the scene after the
fatal shot was fired. The home
place on which he lived at the time
was later decided to him by his father
and he lived there for many years. At
the present time he is living with his
son, Andrew c. Niles on a farm about
three and on-half miles from North
Bennington village on the road to
White Creek and is looking forward
to the observance OF his Goth birth.

the fifth of July next. He Is stlh
mentally and physically active for a
person about to begin the last decade
of a century. His mind Is clear and
his hearing is perfect He readily re-
calls the incidents of the execution
and speaks frequently OF the fine ap
pearance made by the SALISBURY mi.
litia company on that day. The com
pany was fully uniformed in blue
coats and brass buttons, white vests
and high hats. During the execution
the soldiers formed In hollow
square about the scaffold to keep
back the crowd which was probably
the largest ever assembled in town
up to that time.
Mr.. Niles Is the Oldest living person
in SALISBURY and has resided in that
town all OF his life. He has been n
farmer always but in his younger
days occasionally followed the oc.
cupation OF sheep drover On one
occasion he gathered n flock OF 5000 /
sheep Is the southern part OF the I
state and drove them into Franklin /.
county where he contracted for hay /
with the intention Of passing the win.
ter Wool was going up in price at I
the time and the farmers living In
that section were so anxious TO In /

every head. II was a lucky thing for
him that they did. for during the win.

was no market for sheep In the
