EMERSON CASE SETTLED.
E. H. Deavitt Used No Undue Influence
on Plaintiff, Says Supreme Court.

An entry of settlentsht was made YES
I terday in supreme court in the case OF
! Henry Emerson by next friend, vs.
CORY, Deavitt & Frost Electric COM
panv. In county court the plaintiff was
given a verdict of $1,000 damages and
costs. but the case went to the supreme
court on exceptions Before decision
had been given, f. H. Deavitt, who
was counsel for the company, settled
with Emerson, whereupon NJ. M. Cor
don. Emersons counsel, filed a complaint,
stating the boy had been influenced to
settle and had done SO without notify
ing his counsel.
Yesterday a report was filed that coun-
sci for both parties had agreed on the
| following: "The said, Z. II. Deavitt en-
tered into the claimed settlement at
the request of the plaintiff and his
agent, who applied to him to make
such settlement and that Mr.. Deayitt
was not guilty of any fraud, misrepre-
sentation or duress nor of attempting
to use any undue influence or any in
fluence whatsoever over the plaintiff in
the obtaining of such settlement. 1t did
appear that the claimed settlement was
made without notice to the plaintiffs
counsel.
The May term of supreme court ad-
iourned yesterday without date, most Of
the forenoon being devoted TO the hear
ing of the case of Eugene Sargood of
Arlington, who is serving sentence in
state prison in Windsor for an attempt
at poisoning. In December, 1908, he was
convicted of that charge and was SEN
fenced to prison for three and a half
to four and a half years. Later he was
convicted of perjury and an attempt to
poison and was sentenced to prison for
five to six years on the perjury charge
and seven to eight years on the pois-
oning charge. In 1905 these cases went
to the supreme court and the perjury
case was reversed.
]. X. Batchelder of Arlington, counsel
for Sargood, claims the last two SEN
tenees could not be legal, as he was
serving one sentence and the others were
not imposed at the same term of court;
and maintains Sargood has served the
only sentence legally imposed. If nee
essary, the case will be taken to the
United States supreme court.
States Attorney Meagher of Benning-
ton and Attorney General j. G. Sargent
of Ludlow contend the law is ample for
the case and there is no need of trying
it again.
Sargood was remanded to the custody
of the sheriff and the case was entered
with the court.
Several cases were continued and after
adjourned without date.

cANTATA WAS REPEATED.
Presentation Even Better Than First
Time-Attendance Was Light

The cantata, David. the Shepherd
Boy" which was presented at the Bap-
tist church Wednesday night for the
first time by the Sunshine class of the
church, was repeated last night. The
performance last night was held under
the auspices of the Ladies' Aid society
of the hospital, half of the proceeds
were given for the benefit OF the hos
pital and the other half to the Sunshine
class of the Baptist church. Unpropi-
tious weather held the attendance down
last night
On the whole there was a much bet
ter swing accompanying the cantata last
night. The solos were rendered in
more efficient manner and the harpist,
Madame Gilda Cardini of Montpelier, dis
played her technique to better advan-
tage. Much of the success of the per-
Torrance is attributed to the untiring
efforts of Mrs. w. n. Grearson, the di-
rectress. who has had charge of the can
tata. Miss Ethel Inglis acted as ac-
eompanist efficiently.

A NEW PHASE.
OF British Inquiry Into the Loss of the
Titanic.

London, May ls.-Lord Mersey, the
president of the Board of Trade COM
mission, his five assistants and an ar
ray of Great Britain's most brilliant at
torneys, with an audience of fashion
ably dressed women looking on, spent
the greater part of yesterday during
the sitting of the court of inquiry into
the Titanic disaster in probing the state
ment of Charles Hendrickson, one OF
the survivors.
He had said Sir Cosmo and Lady Duff
Gordon, who We're two of the five pas
sengers in partly-flled life boat, had
protested against returning to the scene
of the disaster to try to rescue some
of those struggling in the water.
HendricSson stuck to his story. The
case of the Duff -Gordons was an abso-
lutte denial of the tale supported by
the evidence of the other men of the
crew Of the life boat.

MORE NAMES EXPECTED
To Be Added to Barre Board of Trade
Membership.

To the publicity committee OF the
Board of Trade. number of citizens
have complained of being overlooked
when the board committees made theft
grand canvass of the city Thursday,
This apparent oversight was explained
when it was learned that several of the
groups into which the solicitors were
divided were unable to take part in the
canvass owing to business obligations,
the weather or for other good reasons
In view Of the fact that nearly pa
persons responded to the request OF the
canvassers, the number OF men who were
not approached is surprisingly large, and
when their names are added to the mem
bership roll, the complexion of the list
will undergo another change. The pub
licitv committee has assured the persons
desiring membership cards that they will
be visited within a few days. When
the returns We're coming in Thursday
night and yesterday, it was believed that
nearly everyone ON the list previously
complied bv the committee had been
asked to affiliate with the Board of
Trade. The omission of several men.
however, developed when some OF the
men appointed to solicit memberships
explained their inability to take part
in the campaigns A comparison OF the
names of the men not approached with
the list prepared previous to the canvass
showed that the committee intended that
all of the men overlooked should be
visited

LEADERS ARE OPTIMISTIC
They Are Even Figuring on Date When
10000 Men and Boys, Who Have
Been Idle Seven Weeks, Will
Return to Work.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, May ls.-The ques
tion of ratifying the agreement entered
into by the, sub committees of the miners
and operators is expected to be decided
before the anthracite mine workers, whc
have been in convention since Tuesday
end their work to-day
When the convention adjourned late
yesterday, practically all the leaders and
many of the delegates were of the opin'
ion that the tentative agreement, which
gives the underground workers an in
crease in wages and other concessions
would be ratified to-day. So sure were
some of the leaders that they were fgur-
ing on date for the return to work
of the 10000 men and boys who have
been idle seven weeks.

YEAR OLD BURGLARY.
On Suspicion for Connection, John 81.
monds Was Arrested.

Rutland May ls.-State's Attorney B
L. Stafford of this city yesterday issued
warrant for the arrest of John ST.
monds of West Pawlet for a burglary
committed on June 25, 1911. Simonds
is now serving a three-months' sentence
at the county Jail in connection with an.
other Pawlet robbery, the charge being
receiving stolen goods, and the warrant
will be served upon him as soon as the
present sentence expires.
When the store of Layee & Burdick
at West Pawlet was burglarized nearly
year ago, the officers were unable
to find any clue as to who committed
the crime. After Simonds was locked
up for his present sentence, Grand Ju.
ror L. i. Sheldon of Pawlet found in
his trunk some articles that were tax
en- from the store nearly a year ago and
this led the officers to suspect the man

OPIATES END
HIS RAWLINGS
Rieheson Quieted After Severe
HystericaI Collapse
DESERTED BY HIS FAMILY
Part of His Hysteria Is Ascribed to Re-
fusal of His Request That His Body
Be Buried Beside That of His
Mother in Virginia.

Boston, May ls.--Deep sleep, super
induced by opiates soothed the troubled
mind of Clarence Y. T. Richeson during
the early hours of to-day. The iron
will OF the former clergyman, who is
awaiting death by electrocution next
week for the murder of Avis Linnell
gave way last night. The collapse came
while the condemned man was alternate
! ly beseeching his counsel to have his
1 body inferred beside that of his moth
er in Virginia and Historically raw
ing over fancied persecution by the two
guards forming the death watch.
A light breakfast was carried to the
prisoner this morning, but as he was
asleep it was taken back to the prison
hospital The prison chaplain remained
near the condemned, ready to render any
service to the mind of the troubled man.
Rev Herbert S. johnson, his chosen ad-
wiser, entered the death house at
o'clock this morning.
Rev. Mr.. johnson did not awake Richie
son, but remained by the cot after a
short conference with Warden Bridges
and the chaplain. The prison officials
told Dr. johnson they were not sur
prised that the condemned man col
lapsed. They feared Richeson would be
prostrated as soon as he was removed
from the Jail to states prison.
Richesons attack of hysteria came
while he was being visited by the pris-
on chaplain, Stebhins, and his counsel,
w. A. Morse. Twitching and elawing,
the condemned man rolled and tossed
from side to side of his bed all the time
raving about two men who, he cried
out, were watching and following him.
I The attack was marked by spells of
groaning and moaning, after which the
prisoner would lapse into intervals of
nnconsciousness. Then he would revive
and continue his rawlings about the men
who We're watching him.
The prison physician who was sum
moned TO attend the man could not be
reached, and DR.. f. L. Lyons of Charles
town was called and responded. He adj
ministered sedatives which tended to
quiet the patient in measure.
1t is understood here that none of
Richeson's family Will come from Nlr-
ginia. The body of Mr.. Richeson will
be buried in some cemetery in or near
Boston, in accordance with the wishes
Of the condemned mans aged father,
Thomas Varland Richeson, OF Amherst
Courthouse, Va. The father did not wish
to have his sons remains taken to Nir-
ginia. Attorney Morse will make ar
rangements for the burial here.
Mr. Morse absolutely denied reports
that he was preparing a petition for an
injunction to restrain Warden Bridges
from executing Richeson on the ground
that certain of the alienists had found
him insane. Il have done all that | can
do" said Mr.. Morse. Il shall take no
further steps" Attorney Morse declined
to discuss report that the prisoner
had begged him to intercede with his
father in Virginia to allow the body to
be taken to that state after the ex-
ecution, for burial beside that of Richie
sons mother.

There Is Rumor Around Brattleboro That
Gibson Will Run.

Brattleboro, May ls.-The announce.
ment made yesterday by Judge f. w
Gibson that a meeting of Windhau
county progressiyes viii be called soon
probably to-day, to take action on the
coming second district congressional
fight, is taken to mean that Windham
county will not support the candidacy
of Judge Frank d. Thompson of Barton
against Congressman Frank Plumley,
There is well-defined belief upon the
part of the progressive wing of the Re
publieans in the southern part of the
state that Gibson is better vote getter
than Thompson, and that his chances of
winning the congressional seat for the
progressives would be better than those
of Judge Thompson. In view of this
feeling, it is hardly likely that Thomp-
son could expect to carry this county.

DIRECT ELECTION.
of Federal Senators Now Up to the
States.

Washington, May ls.-The proposed
amendment of the constitution provid-
ing for direct election of senators will
be mailed to the governors of the states
by Secretary Knox, with a letter ad-
dressed to each governor certifying that
IL has been duly adopted by two-thirds
vote of each branch of Congress.
As all the legislatures are not in ses-
sion and some meet only biennially, it
seems reasonable to suspose that at
least two or three years must elapse be-
fore the amendment can be acted upon
by a sufficient number of the assemblies
to indicate whether it can command the
necessary three-fourths vote to put it
into inspection.
