OF the men who robbed the store at East
Ryegate election night, killed himself
near the North Concord station yester-

to the North Concord station, following
IN attack Thursday upon Mrs. Hattie

The man appeared at the East Concord
station Thursday afternoon and remain
ed till dark, saying to Mrs. Russell when
she asked him iif he wished to purchase
a ticket, that he expected friends on the
six o'clock train from st. Johnsbury.
The train arrived and left and no one
met the man. As Mrs. Russell was clos
ing the station and with lantern in hand
prepared to leave, the man confronted
her with the order to remain. He drew
. revolver. Mrs Russell, who is a wom-
an of 5S years, and strong, grabbed the
gun, and the two rolled to the floor Of
the station and in their struggles to
the platform outside she managed to beat
him off and to get into the station and to
the telephone. when he again attack
ea her, throwing her violently to the
floor. He thereupon told her to call
whom she pleased and ran off.

tion WIS seen at Miles pond where he

tion and questioned him, receiving eva
siye answers. Constable Folsom started
TO get out Of the wagon and on alighting
found himself confronted with revolver
in the hands of the man. who ordered

FOR NON-SUPPoRT.
William E. Spear Was Sentenced to the
House of Correction.

For the alleged nun-support of his wife
and failure to provide for six minor chill
dren, William +. Spear, stone polisher
living at ~ North Seminary street, will
serve not less than three months and five
days and not more than six months in
the house of correction at Rutland. Spear
received his sentence in city court this
morning, after officers from police head
quarters had been called to the Spear
home to arrest the man for alleged intox-
ication. On complaint made to States
Attorney j. Ward Carver, the charge was
changed to non-support and the respond
ent pleaded not guilty. The state intro
duced evidence to show that Spear had
been allowing the city to support his
family.
A search of the court records disclosed
the fact that Spear appeared before
Judge Fl. W. Scott on an intoxication
charge last September and took the total
abstinence pledge for one year. Chief
Sinclair told OF observing the mans hab-
its since the pledge-taking and Officer
John w. Dineen, who made the arrest,
testified to finding Spear in the doorway
of his home late yesterday afternoon.
Members of the mans family said they
had often been without food and fuel.
The evidence tended to show that the re-
spondent had neglected the family to
such an extent that the city was called
upon to feed and clothe the mother and
little ones.
In refutation of this testimony, Spear
said that SIS of his wages each week had |.
been given to his wife. This arrange
ment was in force until he lost his job |
An officer took Spear TO the county jail /
to-day and he will be transferred to Rut-
snd next week.
