Taken to Windsor Prison

When Charles II. Ploof of Stowe pied
guilty at the Special Term of the Lamoille
County Court, to writing threatening
letters to Harold McMahon OF Stowe.
with intent to exhort money, and was
sentenced to be confined in the State Pri-
son at Windsor for not less than eighteen
months, nor more than two years,
promising scheme to get rich was disas-
trousl y ended.
Last November letter was placed on
the steps OF the Mcmahon store at
Stowe, addressed to Harold McMahon,
and telling him to place $500 in box
near the first iron rail near the box shop
OF H. E, Shaw in Stowe, or he would suf-
fer. The letter was adorned in regular
blackhand shape with rough drawings of
skulls, cross bones, daggers and bombs.
The States Attorney was at once notified
and the next afternoon a dummy box
was left by Mr.. McMahon at the desig-
mated place, and watch was kept during
the night. The next morning small
boy came along and picked up the box
and opened it, taking it home with him.
Several people were suspected and an in
quest was held before Judge N B. Mower
soon after. No testimony connecting
Ploof with the letter was obtained at
that time, but each of the witnesses called
were asked to print several of the words
in the letter on sheet of paper and sign
their name thereto. Ploof wasone of the
witnesses called and the printing on his
slip resembled that OF the letter so much
tina suspicion was aroused. The samples
of Handwriting were sub nitted to w. M.
Kingston of Boston, handwriting ex-
pert who gave as his opinion that Ploof
was the writer of the letter. The matter
was then placed in the hands of the Sher-
man Detective Agency of Boston, and as
a result Of their W DIRK sufficient evidence
was obtained to have secured his couvic-
ton. Ploot, when confronted with the
facts, finally admitted his guilt and
signed a confession. A preliminary hear
ing was had before Justice c. NJ Watts
at Stowe last Saturday, and Ploof asked
to be allowed to plead guilty at the spec
ial term, with the above sentence. He
was taken to Windsor Wednesday to
commence his sentence.

Reading a book recently, the writer was arrested by one sentence: eff I went into a room without knowing you to be there I should at once feel your presence" It is the imaginative ad- dress from a man to a woman Most of us possibly have that curious in stfnct-the obverse of that of the horse that will not rest in a stable that has housed bear-the instinct that knows the presence of the affinity. There are people-being to the general view ex- ce1lent citizens-whom you cannot abide. There are people whose pres ence you detest and resent, and though you could give no particular reason for the antipatSy you would rather die suddenly than live in the same street with them Those are usually, think, relatives of some sort who have the traditional claim to make themselves a nuisance.
