SEALED VERDICT
IS RENDERED
BY JURY
In the Columbus Smith Will
Case
PROPELTY lNVOLED S4O0, 1000
Second Trial Of the Case Has Just
Been Finished in Addison
County Court.

Mddlebury, July 16.-At 1890
o'clock tonight the jury i'll the con
tested Columbus Smith will case, in
which about $95O,OOO in money and
real estate is involved returned a
sealed verdict which will be opened
in Addison County court tomorrow
morning at 10 O'clock This is prob
ably the most important civil case
ever tried in this court if not in the
state. The jury, which retired for
deliberation Tuesday afternoon at
5:15@ clock, came in this afternoon
and asked that certain parts of the
testimony be read to it. This was
done and again this evening sim
liar request was made and the court
granted it,
The case has been on the calen-
dar since January, 1910, and relates
to the validity of a certain will and
codicils made by Columbus Smith Of
Salisbury. During Mr.. Smiths early
life he was very active attorney
and accumulated a fortus. in settel
ing foreign estates and dealing in
real estate, but the greater part of
his later years were spent at his
mansion in the town of Salisbury.
1t was during the later years of
his life that Mr. Smith made his
first will and then from time to time
as he saw fit he added to or changed
the same by the several codicis
which are made part of the will
which has been in controversy. The
case was first tried at the December
term of the Addison County court in
1912 and resulted in disagreement
of the jury.
Al the June term this year th>
case was again taken up for a new
trial and since the oath of that
month tbe-eourt ,.has been sitting on
this case. The evidence received has
covered nearly all of MIR. Smiths
later years of life, which would in
any way establish proof as to the
sanity or insanity of the man whose
will is being contested.
The following attorneys have been
engaged in the contest: w. II.
Blake, j. p. Carney. r. w. Simonds
Of St. Johnsbury and l.. c. Russell
of Middlebury for the contestants
and p. M. Meldon, w. b. c. Stickney
and Edwin Lawrence of Rutland and
James b. Donoway of this place for
the proponents of the will

GOT TO ASK FOR 1T
If We Want. Government Money

II We Want Government Money
MIR. d. II. Winslow, the U. S. Gov
eminent Road Engineer, who is now
spending his second year in this
county, has called the attention of
the Bennington County Vermont I'M
provement Association to the fact
that last year the u. S. Government
appropriated $4,000 10 be spent on
some trunk road in the State of Yer
mont providing that the State Leg
islature appropriate $4,000 TO be
used with It, The Governor of the
State was empowered to designate
each year the road upon which this
money should be spent Our State
Legislature made the necessary APP.
preparation of $4,000 in due form.
Since Bennington County is the
first County, not only in the State,
but in all New England. to have a
Government Road Engineer assigned
to it. il would have been highly fit
ting and desirable that this money
should have been spent in this Coun-
~ this year The mater has, how
ever now been delayed so long that,
as reported in recent papers, the
route has been settled for this year
from Rutland to Burlington. Active
steps are now being taken to have
the 1914 appropriation spent upon
the Burlington-Montpelier road This
of course. is not yet settled. The
position of Bennington County max
es the trunk road winch etends the
entire length of its valley of ne
utmost Importance to the entire
State. Why should not petitions be
sent to Governor Fletcher now to
have the appropriation for 1914
spent here? Then if We are too late
Tor this appropriation We will be in
time for the appropriation of 1915.
Every town through its selectmen
and every other organization inter
ested in public welfare should give
this matter immediate attention.
Last year the entire amount of
money espent upon the roads Of
Bennington County was only 49,. 535..
81. An additional $4,000 for one
year would mean much to the Conn.
ty.
This appropriation is part Of n
general Government policy of road
construction and maintenance which
viii be greatly extended from year
to year The Government. however
does not force its money upon any
state or County. Massachusetts
for example. lost its $4,000 for this
year by not taking prompt action
this spring The initiative must
come from us.
