ACCUSED OF STAYING
MOTHER AND SISTER

Maidstone, VT, April 25.- A spe-
cial grand jury convened here today
to take up the case of Arthur Bean,
the 1S-year-old youth who has been
confined in Jail some time on sus-
picion of having murdered his moth
er and sister. The tragedy occurred
at the Bean home on March 9 last.
On the day of the murder, young
Bean, with a rifle slung over his
shoulder entered the home of a
neighbor and calmly told the per-
sons there that his mother, Mrs.
George Bean, and his sister, Miss
Nina Bean, had been shot and killed.
Neighbors rushed to the Bean home
and found the body of Miss Nina in
a pool of blood on the floor of the
front hall, while that of Mrs. Bean
was in a bedroom on the upper floor
of the house. There were bullet
wounds in both bodies. Young
Bean was taken into custody a day
or two later, but all efforts to in
duce him to make confession failed.

GLASS EYE CAUSES
ADJOURNMENT OF COURT

Veterbe, April 25.-- A glass eye
caused an unexpected adjournment
of the Cammorrists trial. The eye
belonged to Espertio, one of the
prisoners.
Esperito was undergoing cross ex-
animation by Judge Bianehi, when
he flew into rage, extracted the eye
and threw it on the floor and then
tainted from his agitation and pain.
His freak conduct created so much
excitement that it was necessary to
adjourn the hearing.
Esperito is well-known usurer
He pleaded an alibi when called to
the stand declaring that at the time
of the murder of the Cucotos he was
in a different part of Italy. The
witness said he had but one eye
and was a victim of heart disease.
He said he believed that the police
intended that he should die in pris-
on or lose the other eye. With this
he pulled his manufactured eye
from the socket and hurled it to the
floor, shattering it.

CHICAGO RECEIVES ONE OF
GREATEST PAINTINGS

Chicago, April 26.-- Another pill
grmage from Europe to Chicago by
a connoiseur intent on seeing art
masterpieces is an event which goes
to show recognition of something
quite different from pork packing,
which entities Chicago to interna-
tional distinction. DR.. A. Won Loga,
of Berlin university and chief of the
Royal museum visited the Art In
stitute because there hangs Ell Gre
cos painting "The Assumption Of
the Virgin" among other paintings
which in recent years have been TAX
en- from European collections and
brought to Chicago. This painting,
completed in 1877, was one of the
greatest compositions of that period.
1t is set in a massive frame espe-
cially designed by Boston artist,
the frame being built into the south
wall. Since it was first hung in the
old Spanish convent of Toledo, Spain
the painting has had a varied his
tory. First it passed into possession
of branch of the Bourbon family,
and later it was exhibited at a mu-
scum in Madrid.
A few years ago it was sold to
Durand-Ruel, of Paris, in whose gal
leries it was seen by Miss Mary Cas-
satt, a sister of the former railroad
president. The result was the pur-
chase of the painting for $4,000,
DR.. Won Loga is now studying art
collections in eastern cities, and is
said to be very reluctant to go fur
Their west.
