Mrs. Bnffum May Hear
Verdict of Jury Tonight

LITTLE VALLEY. N. Y, Feb. IL
Mrs. Cynthia Buffum, on trial for the
murder of her husband, Willis Buff
fun, may know her fate tonight. Her
attorney, Patrick s.. Collins, began
his summing UP when court opened
today. l-.se
It was generally conceded that the
jury's verdict would be largely deter
mined by its acceptance or rejection
of the confession" made by Mrs. Buff
fun at Buffalo hotel December 10.
Attorney Collins, in his closing adj
dress, held that the confession was
wrung from a woman bounded by
private detectives, and made at
time when her mind was disorganized
by drink. He argued that there was
no actual or circumstantial proof that
the woman had planned the death of
her husband. 4.
Pointing out that Mrs. Buffum had
been a Woodworking, faithful farm
wife for twenty-three years, he
showed in contrast that Willis Buff
fun had repeatedly over a term OF
years, abused his wife, and frequently
threatened to kill himself and his
whole family. During Buffum's last
illness and the spring before, all the
Buffums, wife and children, had been
sick, he said. He charged the poison.

Summit Notes

The gong which has been located
in the Hose Company No. building
in East Summit has been removed
from the fire house and is now located
in South street. The removal of the
alarm was made necessary, owing to
the fact that when the ice plant in
East Summit is not in operation the
fire alarm whistle at the plant can
not be sounded and frequently the
bell on the municipal building cannot
be heard in the eastern section of the
city. In the street in which the gong
has been located eight members of
the hose company reside.
Owners of dogs are to given until
next Tuesday to provide muzzles for
their CANNES in compliance with the
proclamation issued yesterday by

muzzled for a period of thirty days.
Tuesday a dog catcher from Eliza
beth is to visit this city to round up
all unmuzzled dogs which are to be
put to death in the gas tank.
The third degree was last night con-
ferred on three members of the local
order of OOdOd Fellows at the meet
ing last night of the lodge in Odd
Fellows Hall.

ployer not to attempt to operate the

up the panel in the third case. The
petit jury Is composed of sixty men,
bers. but only thirty-five answered
to their names when Deputy County

been excused on account of sickness
and for other causes. Others he said
had not been notified to be present.

the case against Andrew Wood, of

lenged on account of his hearing and

was called also from the audience to
take his place.
A verdict of guilty of assault was
brought in against Alvah Peer, of
Chester. who was charged with strik-
ing C. G. White, of the same place,
when the latter tried to quiet the
accused man who was causing a dis
turbance on the streets while, it is
alleged, he was drunk. An indict-
ment of assault and battery was
found against Peer, but when it was
brought out in the testimony that
Peer only threatened to strike White,
Judge Joshua r. Salmon granted

YOUNGSTOWN, Feb. 27.-Thou-
sands have visited the blackened
ruins of the library and lyceum on
South street, which was completely
Quilted by fire early on the morning
of washington's Birthday. Various
stories as to the probable cause of
the blaze have been circulated about
the town. Fire Chief w. r. Day, jr.,
said he believes the fire started in a
room in the centre of the cellar where
papers and sweepings were piled. The
beams of the floor above this room
were burned through, fact that was
not noted in any other part of the
burned structure, said the chief. Spon-
taneous combustion might have been
the cause. the chief asserted.
The building was insured for $780,
600 The directors will have to col
Iect this insurance before they can
decide on rebuilding. A meeting of
the directors will be held Friday eve
ming, however.
