of Arthur Bosworth, who IS charged
with tie murder Of Mae Labelle at
Essax Junction, is in the hands of the

the prosecution and the defence and
the judges charge to the jury occupied

up the consideration of the verdict, the
court announcing that il weHld wait
until 10 o'clock for the verdict and If
the Jurors had not reached a decision

ceivcd in the morning
In their arguments the attorneys
dwelt largely upon the question of the
young mans sanity.
The jury came into the court room
seeking instructions just before 10
o'clock. They asked of the court rul-
ing as to what point of insanity man
must reach to be irresponsible for his
acts. After receiving the answer of

The letter to Mr.. Walsh says:
II am glad 10 learn that you are

public service to the commonwealth
,by so doing / shall cooperate with
you personally and officially in ev-
Iery possible way ! shall also ask

searching out the sources of political
corruption at New Bedford.
Il hope that your inquiry will not
| stop with the punishment of guilty
voters, but will also overtake whoever
may be responsible for the corrupt use
| of money in connection with an cleo
ton in this state.
Since the last state election, my
Iattention has been repeatedly called
to the profiigate use of money at the
polls in this state, particularly in the
|sreat number of paid workers EN-
ployed. and the virtual bribery OF
large numbers of voters under the
pretext of paying them for the use OF
their eonveyances.
"At the beginning of my present
term of office | called the attention OF
the Legislature to these campaign
evils. and l shall carry this matte,
much further in urging the next Leg.
islature to more drastic action"

Mr. Pellet was first engaged in the
grocery business when he came TO this
city and was established in store
near the new Chelsea Savings Bank,
He entered the contracting and build
ing business some years later and con-
structed some 80 or more fine resi-
