Sheriff George c. Holmes of st. Al
bans took the woman into custody
and brought her 10 the county Jail

sistance and said, IF anyone thinks
mother would murder her own chill
dren | am willing to have the matter
investigated.
A few weeks ago two OF the Wells
children died from the effects of pois-
oning, At the time it was said that
death was caused by eating yegeta-
bles or using condensed milk that
had come in contact with poison used
in killing rates.
Mrs. Wells and the .vo children

Lewis, six years old, died the next
day, and Mary, four years old, died
Wednesday. December t. by that
time the mother had recovered The
funeral of the two children WAS held
the afternoon of December A. Az
that time there was no suspicion of
any definite character that there had
been foul play. AS was natural in
such case the stomach OF one OF the
children and a sample Of the con-
densed milk. which il was thought
might contain poison, we're sent to
the state laboratory of hygiene at

Several witnesses were examined.
The bodies OF the two children,
which had been buried in the Catho-

tanned poison, were removed.
Sheriff Holmes was in Swanton
Thursday and made a search of the
Wells home on West Rock street and
there found a container in which Mr..
Wells said he had put poison intend

Milton some years ago. Mrs. Wells

LEGACY TO LATE
MRS. BARRETT
SUSTAINED
Four Children Will Receive Third
of Grandmother's Estate
HAD BEEN HELD IN TRUST
Decision in chancery Against Mrs.
Clara 3. Hopper of Dor
renceton, Penn

In chancery court, late Friday after
noon Judge +. L. Fish. who is presid-
ing at the present term, gave decl-
sion adverse to the oratrix, Mrs.
Clara Is. Hopper of Dorranceton,
Penn, who, through her attorneys,
Batchelder & Bates, sought to sus-
tain certain claimed construction OF
the will of her mother, Mrs. Wealthy
Kate Rouse, a former resident OF Ben
nington who died in Pennsylvania
over ten years ago.
The will of Mrs. Rouse, who owned
considerable real estate in Bennins
ton and personal property in Pennsyl-
vania, was proved in Pennsylvania,
sent from that state to the Bennlng-
tor probate for record.
Under the provisions of the Will
Mrs. Rouse bequeathed her entire es-
tate, other than some small personal
requests, to her three children, Frank
J. Rouse of Avoca, Penn, Mrs. Clara
Hopper of Dorranceton, Penn, and
Kate Barrett of Bennington, abs Jlu-
tely" in equal portions. A further
provision was made that the third OF
TIC toNdlt UNHutaAhNA W NhN AeehS AVA -
Kate Barrett of Bennington should be
held in trust and managed by Mrs.
Clara Hopper.
This third of the estate of Mrs.
Rouse was held in trust by Mrs Hop
per as provided in the will up to the
time OF the death of Mrs. Barrett.
Shortly before Mrs. Barrett died she
made a will bequeathing her entire
property in equal portions TO her four
children, Wealthy Katharine. Tho
mas A. and Edward. Frank M. Craw-
ford was made executor OF the will.
The executor met with opposition in
his management of the property in
Bennington and an injunction was
brought against him to restrain him
from disposing of any of the rentals
from the tenements.
The contention of the oratriX in
the chancery suit was that the third
of Mrs. Rouses property willed to
Mrs. Barrett should, at the time of
the daughters death go back into es-
tate of Mrs. Rouse. This contention
is overruled by the decision of Judge
Fish who has also dissolved the in
junction issued against Executor
Crawford

went to the jury shortly before noon
today the concluding arguments be-
ing made by James X Batchelder

home last evening and started to re-
turn TO Bennington this morning, but
was delayed by the breaking of the
high tension wire which carries cur
