Body of Wrisley Found in
Woods at West Guilford,
Near Dead Woman
HE MURDERED
NICHOLS FIRST
Killed Him with Hammer
and Later Shot Mrs. Mich
OILS and Himself

Brattleboro, Oct. l3-The dead body
of Irving Wrisley, the farmland who ii
is believed killed Walter Nichols, a farm
er of West Guilford, and Mrs. Nichols
Friday, was found in the woods not 20
yards from where the body of Mrs
Nichols was found early Saturday.
Wrisley had apparently killed himself
with the third bullet from a revolver
that lay near his right hand.
The body OF Walter Nichols was the
first one found. He had been murdered.
An all-night search resulted early Sat
urday morning in the discovery of the
body of Mrs. Nichols in the woods some
distance from her home. She had been
shot to death.
The searchers continued to examine
the woods in the hope of finding some
clue to the perpetrator of the deed, and
they came upon the body of Wrisley.
When the body of Nichols was found
it was believed that Mrs. Nichols had
been lured into the woods by the farm
hand, that he shot her and then es-
capped in wagon in which Mrs. Nichols
had left the house
Willard Tucker, neighbor, who lives
quarter of a mile from the Nichols
house, says that late Thursday after
noon he saw two men running along
the road where Nichols body was found
and that one of them suddenly fell and
did not rise again.
Later Tucker heard two shots in the
woods.
Mr.. and Mrs Nichols had no children.
Until last Monday the husbands father
and mother lived with them, but at that
time, having sold the place to the young
man, the parents moved away.
Nichols was janitor of the Baptist
church in West Guilford, and it was his
failure to appear at a meeting in the
church Thursday which led TO the dis
covery of the crime. The clergyman,
calling at the house, found the place de-
serted and later discovered the body.
That Mrs. Nichols left the house in
tending TO return in short time is in
dicat ted by the fact that all her best
clothes We're left hanging in closet.
She was 20 YEATS old
Wrisley, the hired man, went to work
for Nichols last spring. He was 20
years old and has been married and d.
vorced He had worked in various
places in the neighborhood of Brattle-
boro during the last 10 years.
The police say the two men and Mrs
Nichols were in an orchard picking APP
Piles on Thursday. The men went to
the barn for a ladder, and while there
luarreled. Either in the barn or on the
road nearby Nichols was struck on the
head with a hammer or similar weapon
md died from the blow. Then Wris-
ey seems to have returned to the wife, |
md on some pretext led her into the |
woods, where she was shot

Eyarts, Death.

The death of Maxwell Evarts will be
keenly regretted in Vermont, where he
had made himself valuable factor in
many ways. He identified himself par
ticularly with the farming interests of
that state and had been leader in max
ing the fairs held at White River June
ton important and popular. He was a
lover of horses and had good ones to
show. In many ways he demonstrated
the help which city man can be to his
country neighbors and friends. Ot
course the home in Windsor was identi-
fed with Mr. EvaFts' distinguished faith
err, the late William NJ. Evarts, but the
son saw to it that the family interests
in Vermont were not only continued but
deepened. II is as a Nermonter that
this able and versatile New Yorker will
be mourned up this way.-Springtield

USE OF ICE IN HOMES.
Medical Journal Says People Are Paying
too Much.

The average American family is pay
ling about four times as much as il
should for ice and ice boxes This fact,
of interest to every householder, is the
conclusion drawn by DIR. John r. Will
liams from an investigation made in
Rochester, n. ", and reported in re-
cent issue of The journal of the Ameri-
can Medical association. According to
DIR. Williams, the problem of pure milk
is only partly solved with the intro
duction of clean milk into the home The
eleanest and purest milk will soon be-
come foul if proper means for its pres
ervation are not used. Bacteria multi
ply with great rapidity in tempera-
| ture above so f., while below that tenn
perature their growth is held markedly
in check. These facts are of import
ance to mothers and housekeepers. also
to milk commissions aud dealers, be-
cause charges of "bad milk" are often
unjustly made against those interested
in pure milk work
In the study of the market milk prob
lem in Rochester, it was found that
nearly half of the families of that city
endeayor to get along without ice. In
such homes condensed milk, proprietary
milk and dipped milk purchased at the
nearby store are mainly used. Five
sections of the city, representing differ
ent classes of people, were studied. Up
ward of hundred homes in each dis
trict were visited.
1t was found that during the warm
months of the year milk is delivered
during the night or early morning hours
before the family is awake. When no
box is provided for receiving it, it is left
on the door step exposed to heat, dust
and the attentions of domestic animals.
Few homes occupied by working people
are equipped with boxes for receiving
milk. In an investigation on this point,
of 504 homes examined, only eleven had
milk boxes. Houses in the well-to-do
sections are better equipped, $50 out of
All having proper facilities for receiving
milk. The exposure of milk to warm air
for three hours or more is sufficient to
raise its temperature at least 10 degrees
The usual means of preserving per-
ishable fresh foods in the home is to

store them in a cool place. When re
frigerator is not used, either the cellar
OF living room is used. 1t was learned
that 2,243 homes of 5,43l examined did
not use ice. 1t is probable that half of
the homes in the city rely the entire
year on the cellar or pantry for their
food preservation, and that more than
three quarters of the homes deny them
selves the use of ice, excepting for few
weeks during midsummer. Not one
living room was found having a tenn
perature below 90 T., nor was one cellar
discovered having temperature below
So F. 1t is evident that these rooms
during the warm months of the year, at
least, are not sufficiently cold to pro-
teet food from decomposition.
In the study of ice boxes, out of 243
examined, only l03 had temperature
below 80 f. The other l43 registered
above that temperature, and were there
fore worthless for preserving food Bet
ter refrigerators were found in the
homes of the well-to-do nevertheless, As
per cent. of these had temperatures
above 80 F., while nearly 20 per cent of
those found in the homes of the work
ing people exceeded that temperature.
The inefliciency of these refrigerators
is due to their defective construction and
insufficient insulation Most of them
are wooden boxes built of half-inch
lumber. lined with galvanized iron or
zinc The walls vary in thickness from
inches TO inches. The space between
the metal lining and the wooden sides
usually contains insulating material, as
paper felt or mineral wool. In many of
them nothing more is to be found than
sheet or two of paper.
The rate paid by the consumer for ice
varies according to the amount used. the
amount taken at each delivery and the
ability of the purchaser TO pay for it in
advance. Poor people living near the
railway tracks get it at the cars for 20
cents per hundred pounds. Ii it is de-
liyered to their homes they pay from 40
to Is cents per hundred pounds.
The cost of harvesting and storing
natural ice is so variable that it is diff
cult to determine it even approximately
1t probably costs less than 50 per ton.
1t costs between 50 ard 1925 per ton to
make artificial distilled water ice. The
pays the dealer the difference
between 1925. the cost of manufacture,
and $3.50 per ton, or s625 for distribu-
ton. Thus the cost of distribution is
nearly three times the cost of manufac-
ture.
The data gathered in this inyestiga-
tion warrant the following conclusions:
|. The temperatures of cellars or liv-
ing rooms in dwelling houses are not
how during the warm months
Of the year to protect milk and other |
foods from decomposition. An
Efficient refrigerator is q sanitary neces
sity.
2. Most of the refrigerators in COM
non use are almost worthless and gross
v uneconomical
3. If more economical methods of ice
and distribution were EN-.
,loyed, the cost of ice to the consumer
ould be materially lowered.
q. If TO this saving were added that
which would result from proper ice-box
refrigeration vastly SUI
,erior to that now found in the average
ZONE could be had for at least one
ourth the present cost.
