Charles and Albert Deyo Discharged.

The supreme court in session at
Montpelier on Tuesday handed down a
decision in the ease of state VS.. Charles
DeyO and a companion case of state
VS.. Albert Deyo both charged with
transporting intoxicating liquor with
out authority. Judgment Of the lower
court was reversed and the respond
ents discharged. In the summer of
1909 Charles Deyo and his son, Albert,
made a trip to Erving, Mass, accord
ing to the testimony they gave in the
Brattleboro municipal court at that
time, to procure stimulants for their
personal use. Each carried dress
suit case, and the inventory of their
receptacles showed that they brought
back "a pint bottles filed with what
purported to be whiskey and two bot
ties of beer. Chief of Police George
Wilson had been keeping an eye on the
Deyos for a number of weeks previous
to capturing them as they ,alighted
from northbound train one afternoon.
Some decidedly weird stories were
told by the friends of the Deyos, and
the man who was supposed to be dis
tributing agent for the Deyos pleaded
guilty to selling whiskey and served a
term in the house of correction at Rut-
land. The two suit-cases of whiskey
were kept as exhibits in the case for
a long time, and, every. time the vault
in Judge Gibson s municipal court was
opened the odor waited from the
cases was such as to give one shud-
der. The Deyos have continually con-
tended that they were wrongly prose-
cuted, and that they were good citizens
with no intention to break the laws of
Vermont. They told the municipal
court that they generally bought two
or three gallons Of. liquor for medicinal
up in pint bottles It was this phase of
the case that doubtless held the Deyos
for county court, and which resulted
in a conviction there.

The splendid playing of the base

ity of the members of the track and
other teams of that school. has sug-
gested that a coach be obtained for

is nobody who takes an interest in

instructors. The pupils also seem to
be lax in their interest. This was
