THREATS
TO SHOOT PROUTY
Testified to in Trial of Lou A. Foster
Charged with Numbering His Neigh
Dor in Town Of Halifax.

Brattleboro, Nov. 6.--Aside from es-
tablishing the fact that Ossie Elmer
Prouty of Halifax was shot with 32-
calibre bullet OH October 10, instead of
one OF 3s-calibre and steel jacketed, the
trial of Lou A. Foster of Halifax for
the shooting Of prouty which has been
in progress for two days at Newfane de-
veloped little.
DIR. b. II. Stone of Burlington, director
of the state laboratory of hygiene, who
at the time of the inquest gave his opin-
ion that the bullet that killed Prouty
was of 3S calibre, and thereby establish
ed a mystery because Of the fact that
Foster had suffered a 32-calibre revolver,
explained on the stand this afternoon
that further investigation had shaken
the first belief.
Several witnesses were called to tell
of alleged threats Foster had been heard
to make against Prouty. Fred Chase
said he had heard Foster say that he
would shoot prouty like a dog and
any jury would aequit him in 10 min
utes"
Buell. Brown of Marlboro, who had
worked for Foster, said he had heard the
same thing and had heard Foster say
that he was afraid Prouty would fire his
buildings. Nehemiah Sprague and Les
lie Hill had heard similar threats. Mrs.
Minerva Bliss, Fosters first honsekeeper,
and owner OF the farm, said she had
heard Foster say he would put bullet

she told of one time when she said she
had run from the yard into the barn be-
cause bullets coming from the direction
of the Prouty farm were flying about.
The state has few more witnesses to
call and the defense will call about %.
The morning was given up almost en-
tirely to hearing evidence to the effect
that there had been bad blood between
Foster and Prouty and that Foster had
threatened all kinds of dire
things against his neghbor.
Mrs. Cummings. Fosters housekeeper,
was on the stand in continuation OF her
testimony of the day before She denied
that she had told Dr, George r. Anderson
who was called after the shooting, that
Foster had been waiting for Prouty.
Judge Gibson of the defense testified to
finding three empty shells on bureau
IN the Foster house and Of turning them
over 10 the officers.
Hosea Fisher, a neighbor, testified to
being called BY Mrs. Cummings and of
inding the body of Prouty lying near

His Close Friend Says That
He Will Reject United

Huerta Also Is Resolved to
Seat Congress Just
Elected

Mexico City, Nov 6,-The purpose OF
Huerta 'was voiced this morning by a
person in close touch with the provision
al president. This man said that Huerta
Is determined to reject all the demands
set forth in the latest American commu-
nication and is resolved to seat the
congress just elected
If the congress, however, declares the
recent elections null and void and makes
arrangements for another election Huer-
Ia will be disposed to abide by the de-
cision and submit to the peoples choice
on man who would occupy the presi-
dency until autumn of 1916.
Washington Silent Over News.
News that Huerta would reject the
American demands for his elimination
was received in official circles without
comment. Secretary Bryan had long
conference with President Wilson, and
Chairman Bacon of the Senate foreign
relations committee was an early caller
at the White House.
Talk of lifting the embargo on arms
was revived in congressional circles with
considerable yigor. The constitutional
lists here declare they do not wish reeog
milton of their belligereney but only wish
to obtain arms on an equal footing with
Huerta. Some thought that President
Wilson may read another message to
Congress on this phase of the situation,
Officials declined to say to-day wheth-
er they had received any answer direct
ly or indirectly from Huerta to the lat
est demands.
