SILAS HOBBS, YEGG"
GETS FOUR YEARS TERM
Judge Miles Sentenced Man With a Rec.
ord in Caledonia County Court
Other Cases Heard at ST.
Johnsbury.

st. Johnsbury, Jan. i0.-Caledonia
county court rejeonvened again after a
few weeks reaf1s. At opening, States
Attorney Robert w. Simonds had his
latest catch in the line of yeggmen
brought before the court. The "yegg'
was Richard Monohan, alias Silas Hobbs,
alias Nevada Mike, alias Nevada Reno.
Monohan's record is one of daring theft
and adventure and he holds the distinc-
tion of belonging to a line of about
twenty who have been committing bur-
gIaries in and about Vermont and New
Hampshire.
On being arraigned, Monohan pleaded
guilty to the charge against him and
was sentenced to serve term in the
state prison at Windsor Of not less than
four nor more than five years. In pro-
nouncing the sentence, Judge Miles re-
marked that the sentence was some
what lighter than it would have been
if free from outside circumstance
which is interpreted to mean that he
is wanted by other authorities when
Vermont gets through with him.
William kibby Of Barnet was also
brought in for cruelty to animals. lie
was admitted to bail fixed at $500. He
is rather an inoffensive man, but al
legged to be subject to the morphine hab-
it and when under the spell of that drug
he neglected his horse, did not pro-
vide it with proper food and drink.
Several more divorce cases heard Al

Minnie O. Patch vs. Walter D. Patch

1t is understood that it was dismissed
for want of proper jurisdiction. Ex-
ceptions were allowed and il will
doubtless be decided by the supreme
court
Mamie McCosco was divorced from Ba-
sil McCosco on the ground of wilful
desertion. Further hearing was had in
the case of Raymond Walton VS.. Flora
Walton. Divorce was finally decreed on
the ground OF intolerable severity.

WOULD STRIP RICHESON
OF THE "REVEREND"
Church May Take Action So That Con-
demned Man Won't Go to Chair
with the Title.

Boston, Jan. l0.-Clarence V. T Rich
eson, who pleaded guilty yesterday aft
ernoon to. numbering Avis Linnell and
was sentenced to be executed during the
week of May 10, win not go to the
electric chair having the right to bear
the title of reverend" il the action
which is now being intimated is taken
by the church authorities. He may be
excluded from the church. An ecclesias
teal council may be called, demanding
the minister's parchment. In either
way he would pass out of the ministry.
No definite steps have been taken
Richesons counsel declared after the
proceedings yesterday that an appeal for
executive clemency would follow soon
and that every effort would be made TO
obtain life imprisonment, instead of
death. as the punishment Whether the
petition will be based upon Richesons
services to the county in making his
confession, or upon claim of irrespon-
sibility, has not yet been decided
Some well-known attorneys remarked
that Judge Sanderson's action in accept
ing the plea and ordering it spread upon
the records of the court might have an
echo in the supreme court, on the ground
that jury alone could accept such a
plea.
The courtroom scene of yesterday had
no i'll effect upon the young clergyman
to-day for DIR. Lothrop reported that
Richeson was in such good health that
he should cease his visits.
Gov. Foss' mail is crowded with let
ters on the case, advocating and de-
nouncing communication.

FIRE STILL BURNING
IN EQUITABLE CELLAR
For That Reason 1t Is Impossible Il
State Whether Money and Securi-
ties in Yesterdays Big Blaze
Are Unharmed.

New York, Jan. l0.--The ruins of the
Equitable Life Assurance company.
building on lower Broadway continued
to shoulder to-day, and it is doubtful il
the fire is extingIished before nightfall
The FIRE is in the cellar only as above
the first story there is nothing left saw,
the granite walls. There were no addi.
tions to the list of casualties this morn
ing, and the official blotter gives six
dead, two missing and 20 injured The
body of Deputy Fire Chief Walsh has
not been recovered
More than one hundred policemen and
detectives are guarding the property to
prevent the theft of any money or Sc
curites in the building
Fire officials last night made an in.
spection of the vaults of the Equitable
Life Assurance society, the Equitable
Safe Deposit company and the Mercan-
tile Trust company, and found them all
intact as far as outward examination
could determine. The Equitable Life
vault on the second floor OF the building
is supported by six steel piers and re-
sisted the weight of falling ruins from
the upper floors. Whether the contents
we're damaged by water or heat will not
be learned until the vaults can be
opened. II was roughly estimated that
the three vaults together contaired over
a half a billion dollars worth of Sc
curities.
One of the remarkable features of the
confagration was that the bronze statue
of Henry b. Hyde, founder of the Equit.
able Life Assurance society, which stood
in the center of the great vauted arcade
on the ground floor, escaped uninmred.
Surrounded by ruin, the heroic figure
stands on its marble pedestal without
single scratch.
Superintendent of Insurance Hotchkiss
in a statement last night said that the
Equitabes loss was not real one, as
the building was not ca cried as an asset
either by the company or the insurance
The company's surplus,
therefore, stood, he said, substantially
where it stood Monday The records Of
vital moment to the policyholders were
safe in the company's annex building on
Albany street, and those lost could
probably be largely replaced.
'Policybolders should be patient. he
added, "and for the time not ask TOO
much from a management that seems
to be meeting a difficult situation with
care and skill"

TWO BOYS BOUND OVER.
They Are Accusing of Lifting" Some
Beer Out of Freight Car.

Several boys, who are alleged to have
been implicated in one way or another in
the forcing of freight car, containing
quantities of bottled beer, in the Mont
pelier & Wells River freight yard last
October, were arraigned before Judge II.
W. Scott in city court this forenoon
foi hearings which have been continued
since the boys were first apprehended
some time ago. Paul Plaisted pleaded
not guilty TO charge of burglary and
waived examination. He was bound over
in the sum of $500 to appear at the
March term of county court. Bail was
furnished by the boys father. The re-
spondent was represented by Attorney
X. A. Hoar.
Cases against Leonard Morgan and
Arthur Milne, who we're arrested on the
same charge, were mol pressed, as it
appeared that the boys had no part in
forcing open the car.
The case against Abraham Sickle
whose arrest took place on warrant
charging him with keeping, was mol
pressed for lack of sufficient evidence.
Sicke was later arrested on a warrant
charging him with burglary, as it was
alleged that he too was concerned in
"lifting" the beer from the ear. To
this charge, Sickle pleaded not guilty,
waived examination and was held in
bail of $500 to appear at the next ses-
sion Of county court. The bail was
forthcoming and the respondent was re-
leased. Grand Juror f. r. Davis had
charge of the prosecution in each case.
Case of State against Carlo Frattini,
the young River street boy, who was
arrested ON a breach Of peace charge
some time ago, was mol pressed as there
was insufficient evidence to prosecute.

One of the most remarkable pearl ecurers" is
Senorita Valencia. Spanish dancing girl she

cheaply owing to their dullness She wore them
for few weeks and they gradually regained their
original beauty.
So successful has she been in this work that
she is now more famous as curer of sick pearls
than as a dancer She has been commissioned by
the car to go to ST. Petersburg in order 10 cure
the famous pearl necklace which belonged to the
Empress Catherine.
Another dodge for curing sick pearls besides
nursing them is to place them in the sea again.
