pected Motions.

Boston, Nov. 2l.--The time for filing
special pleas in the case of the Rev.
Clarence Y. 7. Richeson, charged with
the murder Of Avis Linnell, expired yes
terday and when the office of the clerk
of the superior criminal court was closed
late in the day none had been entered.
A motion for the postponement of the
trial, which is set for the middle of Jan
uary, was one of the moves expected
from the defense, which had urged ex-
tended time in which TO prepare the
case for the accused.
While it is understood that William
A. Morse, counsel for the defendant, does
not even intend to make motion to
quash the indictment, such a proceeding
would be open to him after the trial
had begun.

BoSWorth Was Found Guilty Of
First Degree Murder
JURY RECOMMENDED DEATH
Young Man Who Shot Mae LaBelle to
Death at Essex Junction Last Summer
Took His Fate Calmly as if Not
Comprehending the Verdict.

Burlington, Nov 24.--The jury in the
case OF Arthur Bosworth, accused of
the murder of Mae LaBellc az the Essex
Junction railroad station on June 7, last,
came into Chittenden county court this
morning and reported a verdict Of gull
ty Of murder in the first degree, accom-
panying the verdict with recommends
tion for the full penalty of the law, which
is death by hanging. Bosworth showed
no trace Of emotion as he listened TO
the verdict, except for slight change
IN color the same being habitual with
him. The prisoner didn't seem to com
prehend the meaning OF the verdict.
After performing this duty, the Jury
were discharged BY Judge Hall, and the
prisoner was remaHded to jail to await
sentence, which will probably be imposed
next Saturday.
The Judges Charge.
The case was ended yesterday with
the arguments, followed by the charge To
the jury. The court charged that the
first question for the jurors to decide
was whether Boswofth killed Mae La
Belle. II they so found, he said, it be-
came their duty to decide whether the
respondent was excusable by reason Of
his mental condition at the time of his
act. The court cautioned the Jurors that
not all conditions OF insanity will relieve
man from mental responsibility. The
degree of the crime was of the utmost
Importance, the court charged, and he
then proceeded to read from the statutes
the sections defining murder IN the
first and second degree, and homicide
II also devolved upon the jurors, said
Judge Hall to decide whether the state
had satisfied them concerning all the
alleged facts in the case.
The court solemnly charged the Jury
that their duty did not stop with the
finding of these facts. '1f YOU find o
verdict Of murder in the first degree, be-
ing convinced beyond reasonable doubt
Of the respondents guilt, most impor-
tant duty falls upon you" The Judge
then read the section providing for a
recommendation by the jury of capital
punishment in cases where a verdict OF
murder in the first degree is reached
Revenge Was Motive
The condemned man was employed for
time at Johnson's hotel in Essex juno
tion, where Miss LaBelle was also en-
ployed. The former lost his position,
and he charged that Miss LaBelle was
responsible for it because of her COM
plants to the proprietor. Bosworth is
hardly more than a youth, undersized
and said TO have violent temper. For
some weeks he was under observation at
the state hospital for the insane, and
during the trial Supt. Grout Of the
Waterbury asylum testified that he did
not detect traces of insanity in the
young man, but he thought Bosworth
bad not fully developed mentally. Bos-
worth came to Essex Junction strang-
er and his early life is little known.

Construction. Not Destruction.

An Indictment in the United States
court has been brought by federal au.
thority against the officers of milk
producers union on the ground that its
efforts to get a living price for the
farmers milk is a combination in re-
straint of Interstate commerce. An
other lawyer now comes along and says
that is likewise illegal under the com
mon law for two or more persons with
in any state to combine to secure bet
ter price for any article or service
bought or sold wholly within that state.
Such strained Interpretation, either
of the Sherman act applied to inter
state commerce, or of state laws ap-
piled to commerce wholly within state
lines, is contrary to common sense.
Under such construction it is criminal
for two or more farmers or other per-
sons to either buy together or sell to-
gether, either within the same or diff
ferent states. If that theory is to pre-
vail, then any individual, every mem

Who is responsible for this foolishness?
Who is great enough to indict a whole
people? How. when and where is this

time to apply little ''horse sense to
these economic propositions? Let us
have economic peace, instead of eco

halt on the bureaucratic idea that gov

A Syrian Peasant Superstition.

A lawsuit for libel brought by an
apothecary in Pollau. in Syria, against
a young peasant reveals an extraordi-
nary superstition prevalent among the
country people. They believe that
apothecaries and doctors have the
right to kill at least one man and one
woman every year in order to make
medicines out of their bodies. An ac-
cidental movement Of the apothecary
at Pollau, Herr Kobermauser, when
giving medicine to a boy named Putt
led the latter to believe he was going
to be killed. He ran away, but got
such fright that he fell ILL The in
habitants believed his story and boy
cotted the apothecary. who was at
length compelled to prosecute. Putt
was sentenced TO fourteen days inn
prisonment. but his parents, who had
spread the story. were acquitted on
the ground that they had acted in
good faith.-London Standard.

AT4NSfAoA G1lss \ "A. wv. oOS AoAAs
The local leaf market at the present
time is not altogether in satisfactory
condition In fact, comparing it with
conditions prevailing recently, it may
be called dull. Plenty of inquiries are
being made, and number of prospec-
tive buyers have been here, but they
didn't buy, not being able to agree on
prices with the holders of the 1910
goods. The 1909 goods are not much in
demand, and about all of the tobacco
sold is bought by local manufacturers,
and they are only taking the pick of
these goods.
The growers earlier in the season got
the idea into their heads that if buying
could once be started there would re-
suit a stampede to get the crop, but
this hope has died out. The growers
shifted at the idea of letting GO at any
the unfavorable condition of the tObac-
CO in the shed is now making them I'M
easy, and it is not going far astray to
say that many of them would snap up
offers of ten cents. The feeling is very
general among the packers that to buy
now would be taking objectionable
risks. Representatives of a number of
big outside concerns have been through
the county examining the tobacco, and
they have left with the feeling that
they can afford to hold off until the to-
bacco has been stripped. The long
damp spell has done its work already
on good deal of tobacco, and plenty
of pole burn and some fat-stem are re-
