the garden, for our vegetables, berries
and fruits.
The boys would be interested and occu-
pied in the garden. on the farm, and in a
workshop, could they have n man with
them, but the directing in Itself Is an oc-
cupation. and until we can have a man
who can help with the boys, the home Is
not doing its best work. The children
nave a large playground with croduet
swings and sand piles and whatever we
can think of that adds to the happiness of
children. Their friends have given them
many pleasures, boat rides, car rides,
suppcrs at the different churches, AMI al
ways a very merry Christmas. and their
own Christmas tree at the home. Stu
dents from the college have been most
helpful in the Sunday school as in former
years. We wish to thank every friend in
the State for gifts of clothing and money.
Tho little mission bands of Manchester
Center and Manchester and Essex Center
have contributed money; but. for such
contributions, ou~ infant depa rtment
would have had to be closed.
The generosity of such friends cannot
he too highly appreciated. If we could
bring together this little army of four
from this home, 7 am sure It would bring
cheer and announcement to those who
have contributed and to those who have
given homes to these homeless littlo chill

CHARGED WITH MURDER
Joseph BergerOn. Formerly of
Burlington, Held in New Haven.
said To Have shot n Woman will
hOm lie Had Lived and from
Whom lie Had Separated.
Following a Quarrel.

Joseph Borscron, for many wears a
resident of this city and who for some
time kept a plumbing shop on Elmwood
avenue a short distance south of the
corner Of North street, is being held in
New Haven, Conn, on a charge of muir
dering a woman named Lizzie Doucottc
and the police OF that city seem to be
very sure of procuring a conviction for
the crime. George Nicholari of the dis
trict attorneys office has been in the city
looking up Bergcron's past in order to
procure evidence which may be used at
the trial, which is to be held soon.
According to the story related by the
detective, Bergeron deserted his wife.
who was Emma Charbonneau Of this
city, in New Britain and went to live
with the Doucette woman. They
quarrelled after awhile and separated
but Bergcron, who seemed to be in
fatuated with her, followed her up and
after learning that she was in New
Haven, went to her house and asked her
to come back and live with him. This
she refused to do and he drew a revolver
and shot her dead. Following that he
walked cOolly out of the house and went
into a nearby restaurant for breakfast.
Tho police arrested him there within an
hour after the time the shooting oc-
CURED. lie made no effort to get away
or deny the charge, so that it is thought
the defense will he insanity.
While in Burlington Bcrgcron was
sober and the only thing against him
was a iiCkleness shown toward women.
He was arrested once for non-support
and received a jail sentence but on his
promise to go back and live with his
wife, sentence was suspended, II is prob
able that a number of Burlingtonians will
be called to New Haven to testify in
case Bcrgoron pleads not guilty.

This new field of medical activity was
contemplated when the question of an

Legislature. In fact, n free dispensary

the appropriation bill together with A

CRIMINAL CASES TRIED.
Enlclinc McNUlty, Alfred DcmarcO and
Emile PhiIie Found Guilty.

In Chittendcn county court Tuesday
Emeline McNulty pleaded guilty to sell
ing intoxicating liquor contrary to law
and was sentenced to pay n fine of $500
and costs.
Alfred Demarco, an Italian, also plead
ed guilty to a similar indictment. In the
case of this man States Attorney T. e.
Hopkins suggested that he he fined and
put on probation conditioned upon his going
out Of the hotel business. It was explain
ed that the prisoner had kept the Cham
plain House on the corner of King and
Battery streets, and later had kept a
house known as tho Lake View. Both
these hotels, it was intimated, had UNI
savory populations, and that If Demarco
could be Induced TO go out of the business
1t might he as we'll for the public. 1t was
further stated that this was the first time
Demarco had been indicted for such an
offcnsc.
The court was of the opinion that the
seriousness of the offensc would make
probation improper in this case, On re-
quest of j. w. Page, of counsel for De-
marco, the case was put over until morn
ing for final disposition.
The trial of emile Philie for open and
gross lcwdness took most of the day. Mrs
Angelina Crepo of Vergennes claimed that
Philie. who Is a hickman. insulted her In
the railway station. Philie is at presen,
the defendant in two cases on the city
court docket, for cruelty to animals and
impeding an officer, which were filed after
Humane Agent John Fuller had taken
his horse away from him.
A slight difficulty arose in the case for
the prosecution when. as a test OF the
mans identity, the States Attorney
placed Philie in a room with several other
smooth-shaven men and asked Mrs. Crepe
to pick out the man who had insulted her.
She had already testified that It was a
smooth-shaven man. The man Mrs
Crepo picked out was a young juryman,
She insisted hat he wac the one, but
changed her mind and was equally posi-.
tive about Philie when she took the stand,
The evidence vas so conclusive that, de
spite this Inconsistency, the jury found
Philie guilty.
