"The evidence tended to show that

the death OF the deceased can be ac-
counted for on no reasonable hypothesis
other than the guilt of the accused.
There was no error in the ruling of
the court, which refused to allow the
jurors to be examined concerning the
law upon which the court was bound
to instruct the jurors and the jurors

remarked that when he used to go court
ing he did not take anyone with him.
The Cameron girl testified that when
she passed the Primavera house on the
morning of the murder Primavera was
laying there asleep at the time he testi-
fed to having been in the garden cut
ting bushes, and, by coincidence hard
~ possible, putting them over the spots
of human blood.
Primavera, on the stand, said he had
received no promise in return for his
testimony. On July 26, IA days after he
was arrested. he wrote statement, in
which he said he narrated all the facts
of the night of the murder, to his
assigned counsel, j. w. Gordon. He had
every motive to falsify, whether he did
or did not. He would naturally want
to clear himself and incriminate some
one else.
Mr.. Senter said that if such state
ment were admissible, to corroborate
what the man said on the stand, he
should in future advise all his clients to
write letters and scatter them broadcast
because they could be used TO substan-
tiate their stories in court.
No attempt was made to impeaeh
Primavera, except to ask if he had re-
eeived any promise. He had the same
motive to falsify in court that he did
July 26. Mr. Senter said: IF that
kind of evidence is to be admitted, is
is taking dangerous and wicked
step"
Mr.. Senter argued that the motion for
a verdict should have been granted.

Him of the Money When He
Was Drunk.

ing some fun" as he called it. The
house is occupied by eolored family
named Smith, but there were some white
people there. Zero said that he offered
10 buy bottle of wine if somebody
would 90 after it. A willing volunteer
was found, and he was given dollar by
Zero TO purchase a quart of some kind
OF wine. which cost twenty-five cents.
When Zero took out his pocketbook, it
was in plain sight Of all preesnt. Ii con-
tanned a large amount OF money with
which Zero had intended TO buy a horse.
The man who was commissioned to get
the wine performed his duty, came back
with it. and gave Zero % cents in
change. The drinks were passed around
and then q man asked Zero to step out
side. The two went out and in very
short time, the other fellow. whom Zero
describes as a white man, tall and slim,
suddenly turned to him and said;
"Give me that money"
He thrust his hand into Gero's pocket

BIENNIAL REPORT
OF STATE AUDITOR
Several Recommendations for Legislation
Laws Enacted at Last Session
Added $44,448.23 to States
ExnpuSaS

The report of Horace +. Graham, au.
else and comprehensive statement OF the
expenses of the state and several recon-
mendations for future legislation. In.
cluded in these recommendations are
these: "a to provide some method OF
purchasing fuel for the State House,
courthouses, jails and institutions, ~
some provision for a report to some
state officers of list and value of all
state property each biennial period; t3l
appropriations often take effect at pass
age, when if they did not until the be-
ginning of the next fiscal year after
passage, much more accurate compare
sons might be made of the departments
and institutions they affect from year
to year; al municipal courts of VIII
lagos of Brighton and Springfield should
be abolished or given wider territorial
jurisdiction; they are not doing enough
business to warrant their continuance;
o. city court of Burlington and munich
pal court of village OF Winooski and
city courts of Montpelier and Barre
should be given concurrent jurisdiction
of the counties of Chittenden and Wash
ington, respectively; city court of Rut-
land should be given jurisdiction of
county of Rutland; municipal courts of
Bellows Falls and Brattleboro should
be consolidated and this court given iur-
isdiction of county of Windham; when
ever a city or municipal court is created,
it should be given jurisdiction. of coun
ty in which it is situated; 90 jury
empaneled in city or municipal court
to try criminal case should be com
mon law jury, with exceptions direct to
the supreme court.
The appointment of trial justices for
trial of criminal causes outside the j1ris-
diction of municipal and city courts
might simplify the settlement of justice
bills of cost, and these bills of cost
might be settled direct and perhaps quar-
terly with the auditor OF accounts.
The principal items of increase in
state expenses have been as follows:
For educational purposes, S2l4,00l So;
for highways, S209,s9 AZ; for agricu1-
ture and forestry, 25,557.00. Laws en-
acted at the session of 1910 added to |
the expense of the state as follows:
For the department of weights and
measures, $l4,937.5l; for the depart
ment of publicity, S4,s00.66; for aid to
deserving survivors of the Civil war,
81 ,673.66; noxious animal bounties, $780,
036.40.
The principal items of increase IN rev.
enue were from corporation taxes, char
ter fees, automobile license fees. liquor
license fees and granting of hunters
licenses.

Indigestion.

Most people who have heart disease
do not know IL. Most people WHO
think they have heart disease, haven't.
They only think so. Pain in the region
OF the heart is mistakenly supposed 70
be a symptom OF heart disease.
Just as pain in the back seldom or
never indicates kidney trouble, so pain
near the heart is scarcely ever present
in organic heart disease. This pain ia
nearly always from the stomach which
Is connected with the heart by many
nerves.
When your digestion is out OF order
1t often affects the heart and even causes
an irregularity in its beat. The gas
produced by undigested and ferment-
ing food may cause pressure that affects
the heart unpleasantly. But these
pains do not mean that you have heart
disease nor need fear sudden death.
Try toning up the stomach and learn
how quickly and surely you lose the
fear of heart disease.
Tone up the stomach. Correct any
errors of diet. Eat the right things
and not too much of them. Ii you do
not know what the right things are,
GNiiN Jul dAtN boOhs ~ 10 siitts
Don't starve yourself and don't pamper

your stomach 30 that it will do its own
proper work, don't worry about your
heart or anything else (worry causes
and aggravates indigestion) and you
will be well and happy.

Argument for the Defense.

The two days argument in the cas'

cluded in Vermont supreme court al
Montpelier yesterday afternoon, States
Attorney Carver and Attorney General
Sargent speaking for the state and John

for a new trial.
States Attorney Carver's argument was
short, and it was devoted mainly 20
pointing out on maps the locations men
toned in the testimony. He also de.
voted some time to the alleged plant"
in the cellar OF Alphonse Primayera's
house, laying stress on the condition that
the plant was not found until it was
needed in the trial in the lover court.
The states attorney pointed out that
William Turley, brother of the respon-
dent, found the stuff in the cellar, and
the attorney inferred the stuff was
placed in the cellar after the mur,er
in the interests OF the respondent and
for the purpose of being discovered when
it was needed.
