NEW TRIAL FOR SPENCER
HAS BEEN DENIED.
Appeal May Be Made to Governor for
CIemency,

Judge John c. Crosby has denied the
motion for a new trial of Bertram G.
Spencer. convicted Of the murder of
Miss Martha B. Blackstone. The de-
NAL was received in superior court at
Springfield Wednesday morning from
Judge Crosby who lives in Pittsfled.
This means that there are only two
channels left open to the defense in
further attempt to save the prisoner
from death in the electric chair. The
defense will have until Jan. 20 to file
exceptions to the supreme court ask
ing for another trial, or appea Ito ex-
ecutive clemency.
1t is believed that the defense will
resort to the latter procedure rather
than appeal to the supreme court, in
view Of Gov. Foss' attitude in recent
appeals for communication, in most OIL
which the chief executive. has shown
decided clemency for prisoners con-
victed of murder in the fire degree.
If no exceptions are filed by Jan. 90,
Spencer will be sentenced to die in the
electric chair, the sentence to be pro-
nounced by Judge CROSBY probably i'm
mediately after that date. AS the
prisoner will not be sentenced to die
for a month or two after the date of
the sentence his counsel will be given
ample opportunity to appeal to Gov.
Foss for Communication to life imprison-
ment.
Meanwhile Spencer has been close
ly confined in the Hampden county
jail awaiting his fate. As for as
can be learned he has received only
one visitor since Dec. 26.
His only visitor was his sister, Mrs
Norman c. Pultz, who it is under
stood, pays him weekly visits. His aged
mother, who was FRUSTRATED by the
news of the verdict, returned to her
| home in Lebanon, Conn, a week after
| the trial and it it understood that
his young wife has returned to Wor-
| cester, where she has been working for
/ about year under an assumed name.

This is an age of conservation and
the work this society has undertaken
is conspicuously that of conservation,
which means saving. 1t has sought not
alone to preserve the widow and the
orphan from want, but also to save the
victims of disease and to guard the
able-bodied against loss of health. It
has been pioneer in sanatorium work
and in the good health propaganda, the
educational campaign for hygiene and
prevention. which ha, now been taken
up by other societies wise enough to
follow worthy examples.
1t is, moreover, the leading propa-
gandist of those sound principles of
insurance, also espoused by the Ma,
tional Fraternal Congress and the AS.
ISOLATED Fraternities of America. which
must triumph if the ultimate interests
of perhaps fifteen million women and
children, benefciaries under the out
standing certificates of existing frater.
nal societies of the United States, are
to be conserved, and if that principle
of fraternity which has had its great
est development in this country and in
the past decade is to be preserved tc
the generations yet to come.

impressed upon the members of tho
society in all the literature it has is
sued in furtherance of this project.
q VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS.
The head camp in June. 1908, au-
thorized the board of directors to ap-
propriate annually from the society's
general fund for the support of the
sanatorium an amount not to exceed
10 cents per beneficial member in
good standing on Jan. of each year.
This made $4,000 available up to
Jan. l, 1910, at which date voluntary
contributions aggregated S149, 1882.
The society issued an educational
pamphlet, War Against Tuberculos-
is" of which over 100000 copies
were distributed. By May, 1910, the
sanatorium had 12O patients with a
full staff of physicians and nurses in
charge. The society on Head Consul
Talbot's recommendation issued
sanatorium button, a badge of honor
to be worn by neighbors contributing
over 81, over $3.50 or over SIS to the
sanatOrium fund. The Modern Wood
man for July, 1910, was a special
sanatorium number, wholly devoted to
the society's life-saving enterprise. 1t
contained the executive councils ap-
peal for further contributions, sup
ported by the letters of President
Taft, NeighbOr W. ]. Bryan, Speaker
Champ Clark, Senator LaFollette,
Congressman Cannon, and many other
American statesmen; also that of
Hon. James Bryce, the British ambas-
sador. The executive councils re-
port to the Buffalo head camp for the
period ended Dec. 81, 1910, showed
that the society had received on sana-
forum account s215,S26.S5 in volun-
tary contributions and SZOO.477. SO
from the general fund, a total of $416,-
304.7S, and had expended s597,22468.

to engage in light employment may
earn small sums for incidental eX-
penses. This shop was named in hon
