boys PLEAD IN
SECOND DECREE
Youths Charged with Murder of
Chinaman Fear Electric
Chair.
WILL GET LIFE Terms
State Consents to Change OF
Plea, Partly on Account of
Inferior Mental Calibre
of Respondents.
WILL GET LIFE TERMS

St Albans. March 27.-Two boys, Elmer
whom has reached the age of u, were
arraigned before the bar of Franklin
county court this morning and both
pleaded guilty to the murder of Chin
Kim. a Chinaman, in this city on Feb
ruary last; they plead guilty to muir
der in the second degree, and will soon
be taken to Windsor State prison to spend
the rest of their days behind the bars.
Court was late in opening this morning,
and the rumor prevailed that the re-
spondents, realizing the futiity of letting
their case go further-which without
doubt meant their end in the electric
chair--would drop their bluff and plead
guilty.
AS soon as Judge Waterman mounted
the bench, W. Il. McTeeters of the coun-
sci for the prisoners rose and said: AT
this time the respondents wish to change
their plea of not guilty and enter a plea
of guilty in the second degree"
Attorney General Brown. who has force
fully pushed the case from the start
said: We are not unmindfu of the fact
that the evidence in this case strictly
points too, and as we think, establishes
the crime of murder in the first degree
but there are some things connected
with this case, and especially the menta
calibre of these respondents. that have
made us feel all the way through that
these boys should be convicted of muir
der in the second degree, instead of the
first degree, and we concur that the re.
quest of the RESPONDENTS be granted
A. this point the jury was excused from
any further consideration of the case
and the Judgment was entered as guilty
in the second degree.
All Jurors were excused until Monday
afternoon at two o'clock when the jurS
cases will be resumed

MONROE HULK
IS DISPOSED OF

Norfolk, Va, March 26.-The wreck OF
the Old Dominion liner Monroe, sunk in
January by the Merchants & Miners
packet Nantucket. with a loss OF 10 odd
lives has been blown up by the revenue
here to-day.
Four explosions of gun cotton removed
all of the wreck that was a menace to
navigation. No bodies were brought to
the surface and thus the statements of the
divers that they had been swept out by
the strong submarine current were veri-
fed.
The work Of destroying the wreck was
very spectacular. Tons of water and de-
hris from the sunken ship shot high in
the air with every charge. The hulk now
is covered by 81 feet of water.

AS Mr. Knowles arose to make the
speech of presentation. four men,
dressed in military uniforms, stepped
on the stage. One was bearing the
flag; another was a hug er. while the
other two we're uniformed, one as a
soldier and the other as a man-O'-
wars man. As they stepped on the
platform the members Of the various
patriotic associations arose and
saluted the flag. Bugler Coleman
then sounded ITO the Colors."
Mr.. Knowles referred to those
things for which the flag stood, and
said. that under the flag. woman had
attained her greatest rights and free
dom, and had made the greatest ad-
vances toward equality with man.
He said that the flag stood for a
free public school system, affording
rich and poor alike an opportunity TO
secure the rudiments of an educa
ton. He closed with an appeal for
a high standard of citizens among the
people of this nation.
In a brief speech, Mr.. Beauchamp

flag on behalf of the congregation
and assured the donors that the
standard would be displayed when
ever there is an appropriate oppor-
tunity to do so. He thanked the
members Of the various patriotic as
sociations for their attendance.
In his address, Mayor Howell, de-
clared that there was no place, IN
