body was found in cornfeld here on
the morning of Sept. 20, is alleged to
have confessed to States Attorney Ray
mond Trainor in the Windsor county
iail Yesterday afternoon that he COM
mitted the crime.

claimed, that Tobey was killed for his
money. He said that he failed to find
any money on his victims body, how
ever.
Since the finding of the dead body OF
young Tobey, whose home was in Ohio
and who came to Vermont on a vaca-
itiorf, wall of mystery has surrounded
THE crime which hardly abated on the
arrest on suspicion of Briggs, who was
subsequently held for trial and commit
ted to jail.
Attorney Trainor refused to give out
for publication the details of Briggs
confession save that the man admitted
his guilt and that robbery was the mo-
tive.
Briggs will be arraigned at the next
term of the Windsor county court, which
will convene here next month. He is
married and has a child.
According to the authorities, Briggs
has criminal record.

every opportunity to present their case
