SPENCER APPEARS
 VERY INDIFFERENT

Springfield, Mass, November 2.-When adjournment was taken late today in the trial of Bertrame G. Spencer, charged with the murder of Miss Martha B. Blackstone. the direct evidence for both the prosecution and the defense had been submitted and the prosecution had intro- duced considerable rebuttal testimony. It is expected several days will be required, however, to complete the hearing.
 Three Boston physicians testified they were of the opinion that the accused was insane at the time he killed Miss Blackstone.
 A. score of witnesses, all acquaintances of the prisoner, called in rebuttal by the state said they never saw anything unusual or eccentric in his manners. With the exception of an outbreak early in the day. when he rose and cursed Attorney General Swift, Spencer was quiet in court today and manifested little interest in what was going on about him.

impartial review of all the evidence,
you still have doubt as to the guilt
of the defendant, If still your minds
hesitate as reasonable men to be-
lieve the defendant guilty, that
doubt entities her to an acquittal. If
the mind be fairly satisfied of a ver-
dict on the evidence as SUCH so as
to INDUCE a man of reasonable firm
ness and judgment to take the fact
as true and to act upon it in mat
ter of Importance to himself, it
would be sufficient to rest the ver-
dict upon. Whatever is sufficient to
satisfy you as men should be suffi-
cient to satisfy you as jurors.
The prisoner at the bar, Leona
Lord, as we have said, may be con-
victed in this case of murder of the
first degree, murder of the second
degree, voluntary manslaughter, or
she may be acquitted as you shall
find the facts.
And these, gentlemen, are the
main questions you are called upon
to decide as to what your verdict
will be:
L. Did Silas e. Lord die at Equi-
nunk, Wayne county, Pa, on July
"a, 1910, and was his death caused
by wound received by him and in
flicted upon him by some person on
July IL, 1910, at Equinunk, Wayne
county, Pa?
2. By whom was this wound in
flicted and with what instrument?
3. Was the person who made this
wound then actuated by legal NAL
ice, either expressed or implied, and
did the infliction of this wound and
the death of Silas E. Lord constitute
the crime of murder as we have de-
, fined it?
a. If you should find that mur-
der was then and there committed
was it wilful, deliberate and pre-
meditated, making the crime mur-
der of the first degree, or was the
offense murder of the second de-
gree, or was the act a crime COM
mitted without legal malice, reduc-
ing the offense to voluntary man
slaughter, which we have also de-
fined?
We will take up these different
questions you are to pass upon and
treat them in their order. 1t will
be necessary for us, in doing so, to
comment somewhat upon the evil
dence. We shall not, however, give
more of the evidence than we think

Death OF Mrs. Anna Winnacott.

Death Thursday evening at Z
o'clock claimed one of Honesdale's
best known and esteemed residents,
Mrs. Anna Winnacott, of Main street.
Mrs. Winnacott had been in i'll health
for several weeks but her many
friends were not prepared for the
shock which the news of her death
caused. By nature broad and gen.
erous in her views and unsparing in
her energy to do good for others,
Mrs. Winnacott during her many
years residence in Honesdale, made
her kind personality felt in many
hearts and homes. The deceased
was born in Honesdale GA years ago.
She was member of the we'll known
Maloney family and was an active
worker in the Baptist church. The
funeral services were held Sunday at
1880 o'clock with services at the

George S. Wendell. Interment was
made in Riverside cemetery. She is
survived by two daughters, Mrs. c..
l.. Dunning and Mrs. Charles Hergott,
both of Honesdale, and a son of
Stroudsburg.

Text Book Review
Continued from page one)
The Dealers.

Much trouble has been experienced
heretofore in holding dealers to the
exact prices fixed by the Commission.
in furnishing books to children. In
fact the dealers that sold at the fixed
prices often lost money on the BUSH
ness and there was in consequence
considerable difficulty in getting BUSH
ness men in the mining towns and
the smaller villages and settlements
to handle the books at all. In arrang-
ing the retail prices for the next four
years the Commission considered
this condition and arranged for a
fair profit for our business men who
handle the books in every commun-
ity And these prices may be and
will be enforced under penalty pro-
vided by law.
As q consequence of the former
conditions many parents had to pay
much more than the fixed retail
price. and there was no relief. By
the new arrangement the books will
cost everywhere uniform price, and
the parents in the next four years
will be at considerably less expense
on this account than during the last
four years.
Four-Year Adoption.
1t should be remembered that the
present adoptions were made in
strict accordance with the require
ments OF law, that the contracts on
all books in use had expired, or
would expire on the first day OF
September next, that the adoptions
are for four years, and that the books
selected cannot be changed during
that time at the within OF pupils or
teachers. but must be used to the
exclusion OF all others except sup
Elementary books furnished by the
school districts. This does away
with the costly frequent changes
about which just complaint is often
made.
Should Be Seven Years.
believe the adoptIons should be
for seven years, and if so made by
the next legislature the saving to
parents in the new books would be
still greater, and without injury to
the children. Two books of a given
grade. in constant use during that
time, would be worn completely out,
and the change then necessary could
then be made to the best advantage
However, we need free textbooks
in every district, and I think the
Legislature should provide for them
by State levy. That would fully
solve the textbook problem, reliev-
ing many families of burdens that
might better be borne by the State,
SUMMARY
Textbooks are the tools with
which pupils and teachers do most
of their school work. In all their
deliberations the Textbook Com
mission had in view the primal fact
that both children and teachers. like
other people. can do better work
with good tools than with poor ones;
and they kept equally in view that
