TESTIFY AS TO BULLETS.
Witnesses In Foster TrinI Tell Of
Threats Made.

Brattleboro. Nov. 5.-Aside from es-
tablishng the fact that Osse Elmer
Prouty of Halifax was shot with s.
calibrc bullet on October IL, instead Of
one of 3S-calbre and steel iacketed, the
trial of Lou A. Foster of Halifax for
the shooting of Prouty which has been
in progress for two days at Newfane
developed little.
DR.. Il. 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 surrendered 32-calibre re-
volver, explained on the stand ths aft
ernoon 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 acquit him in 10
minutes"
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 Hin had heard similar threats Mrs
Minerva Bliss. Fosters first houseEceper
and owner Of the farm. said she had
heard Foster say he would put "A bullet
through Prouty. On cross-eXa mination
she told of one time when she said she
had run from the yard lnto 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 25
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
frequently threatened all kinds Of dire
things against his neighbor.
Mrs. Cumming, Fosters housekeeper
was on the stand in continuation of her
testimony of the day before. She denied
that she had told DR., George r. Ander-
son, 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 n bureau
in the Foster house and of turning them
over to the officers,
Hosea Fisher, neighbor, testified to
being called by Mrs. Cumming and of
finding the body of Prouty lying near
the road He told of threats he had
heard uttered by Foster, His two sons,
Merritt and Ora, testified in similar VEIN
Fred Carpenter of Marlboro, once an
employe of Foster, testified to Fosters
having threatened Prouty but admitted
that he and Foster had parted not the
best of friends and that he might have

would have chance to get even with
