Yevette Bertrand Hit by a FALL
ing Hay Rack at Her Home
AND HER NECK WAS BROKEN
Besides That, Her Skull " 4. .dsned and
She Sustained Int y injuries
Leo Bertrand, 'ather, Was
Near by a. y 4 of Accident

Death came suddenly to Yevette Ber-
trand, the little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Leo Bertrand, who live on the Bal
ley farm, so called, on Prospect street,
yesterday forenoon, when the child was
crushed to death by a hay rack which
her father had stood on end in the barn.
Immediately after the accident occurred,
DIR. 7. +. Duffy was called, but the little
one died before his arrival, and his
examination showed that death must
have ensued instantly
It was shortly after l0:30 o'clock when
Mr. Bertrand, accompanied by his little
daughter, went to the barn to feed the
stock. Only few days prior to Sun
day, the farmer had disposed of guam
tity OF hay in the bay above The rack
used IN conveying the hay away from
the farm had been left on the barn foor
in front of the stanchions. MIR. Bertrand
desired to feed the cows, and as the rack
stood directly in the path leading from
the cows to the hay NOV, he stood thf
cumbersome affair upon its end along
side the barn wall. As he started around
back OF the rack to secure it with 4
rope, the child followed him. and it il
believed that she must have grasped the
frame and pulled it sufficiently to bring
the balance away from the wall. 1t
fell with heavy crash, and when the
father turned around, his daughter was
lying on the floor with blood flowing
from deep wound in the head. She
gave few gasps for breath and ex.
pired.
Mr.. Bertrand took the BODY Of the
child into the house and summoned 4
physician. When Doctor Duffy arrived,
he found that the girl had sustained a
broken neck, a crushed skull and interna,
injuries. He thought that she must have
lost consciousness at once, and said that
life could have lasted but a few moments
at the longest after the blow.
The child would have been three wears
old next October. She leaves besides
her parents one sister and four brothers.
Mr.. Bertrand purchased the farm in De-
eember, 1910 The funeral was held from
the house this afternoon at o'clock,
Rev. r, " McKenna, pastor Of st. Mon,
ica's church. officiating The burial took
place in the Catholic cemetery on Beck
ley street.

Under the AIienist Ordeal, De
cIared His Attorney To-day
is NOT PUT IN DEATH CELL
1t Is Thought That Reports of All the
Insanity Experts Will Be in the Hands
of the Governor Before Executive
Council Meets on Wednesday.

Boston. May l3.-"Richeson seems to
b. standing up well under the alenist
ordeal" said his attorney, William A,
Morse, after his morning call on the
man who is condemned to die next week
for the murder of Avis Linnell.
Il know nothing of the course of the
results or conclusions of the insanity
experts appointed by Governor Foss, =
continued Mr. Morse, 'but it looks as
/ if all the reports viii be in the hands
/ of Governor Foss before the regular meet
ing of the executive council Wednesday"
Sheriff Quinn announced to-day that
! Richeson would not be removed to the
state prison until after Wednesday.
Yesterday was doubtless the most crit
/ ical day for the prisoner since he received
his death sentence early in January.
! From the time Rieheson confessed to the
murder of the little Conservatory of
Music pupil, a former sweetheart, who
stood in the way of his marriage to the
wealthy Miss Violet Edmands of Brook
line, his counsel have been working to
secure finding that the prisoner was
mentally irresponsible for his act. They
were gratified when on Friday last Gov
ernor Foss, who is ayowedly averse to
the death penalty, named three prom
inent alienists to make an impartial re-
port for his guidance in the matter of
submitting Richeson's petition to the
counsel for clemency.
Sheriff Quinn did not attend the exam
ination but posted his guards outside the
room, with one attendant inside. The
work of examination continued uniater
ruptedly from $3.50 until 1890 p. m. AT
that time Richeson was taken back to
his cell, where he partook heartily of
special food which is daily sent in to
him from restaurant outside.
Rcheson was apparently bearing him
self well and showed no fatigue. About
2 o'clock he was taken again to the sher-
ifs house and the alienists again took
up their work. The second session lasted
until $40 o'clock. At its conclusion,
Richeson was returned to his cell, his
carriage as he marched across the Jail
yard being apparently one of hopeful
mes, ii not even confidence.

GOV. MEAD's CREAMERY BURNS.
Other Buildings on Mead Farm Saved
Yesterday Afternoon.

Rutland, May l3.-The creamery used
in connection with the farm OF Gov
Mead, south Of the city. was destroye
by fire yesterday afternoon, and for a
while it looked as though the house and
other buildings would be burned. Flames
from the creamery spread to the house
and the horse barn, and at one time
sparks from the creamery set fire TO
the roof of the COW barn.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but it Is believed to have been caused
by a defective chimney. The steamer
from station No. ] and hose from station
No responded to telephone alarm,
but on account of the distance from the
city the firemen were unable to save
the creamery and devoted their atten-
ton to other buildings. The loss will
amount to about 81 600.
