ago. the case having been appealed to the
supreme court OF Vermont, that bench af-
firmed the verdict Of murder In the first
degree and sentenced Bosworth to be
hanged Jan. "a. 1918. There Is no good
reason to complain of the length of time
that elapsed between the commission OF
the crime and the date OF the trial. since
the defense Of insanity having been
raised. It was necessary 70 mold Bosworth
