SEVERAL GERMAN
TRENCHES TAKEN
Together with a Number of Prisoners,
Says British Official Report, Fol-
lowing Combined Attack
BY Allies.

London, Dec. Is, l:35 p. m.--The OIL
cial information bureau to-day gave out
the following statement; '1n the com
bined attack of the allies yesterday on
the line from Hollbecke to Wytschaete
in Belgium several German trenches and
a number Of prisoners were taken and
substantial progress was made"
This statement is interpreted in some
quarters as marking the beginning of a
much discussed attempt TO make a gen
eral advance. The fact that the state
ment refers 20 the fighting in northern
France, as well as in Belgium, is taken
to mean that the offensive movement
stretches over considerable area. II
has been known for sometime that the
British army headquarters has been
pushed TO the eastward and Il Is conse-
quently assumed by British observers
that the allies have made more progress
than has been chronicled.

ROACH ORDERED TO
DIE IN CHAIR
Convicted Late Last Night Of Killing
John Barrett of Palatine, N. y
No Date Set for Execution.

Fonda, N. Y, Dec. l5.--Lewis M.
Roach, the farm hand who has been on
trial for the murder on December 70,
1913, of John Barrett, Palatine farmer,
was found guilty of murder in the first
degree at lli20 last night.
Roach was immediately arraigned and
sentenced by Justice Kellogg to death
in the electric chair, the date not be-
ing fixed.
Ehe Barrett murder was one of the
most sensational crimes in this section
Of the state. On the night Of December
20, 1918, Katherine Barrett, aged 25, was
stunned by blow which rendered her
unconscious for several hours. Her faith
er, a wealthy farmer, aged 90, was shot
while coming downstairs to her aid. He
was also dubbed on the head An at
tempt was made to fire the house, but
this failed owing to timely arrival of
neighbors summoned by Barrett's half
witted son.
Bloodhounds failed to track the MUIR
derers and the crime bid fair to become
an unsolved mystery until Deputy Sher-
if Earl Vanwie on June % last secured
Il confession from Lewis M. Roach,
farm hand employed by George W. Pot
ter, admitting that he killed Barrett at
the instigation and with the assist
ance of Potter. On June 26 both were
arrested and charged with first degree
murder. Roach pleaded guilty. The next
lay Potter was freed on motion of Dis
,rict Attorney Abbot, Roach having said
he lied in his confession.
During the trial of Roach reports were
current that Potter might also be arrest
ID but the district attorney refused to
confirm them. Potter is collegian agri
:ulturist graduate, son of former 0tse-
70 county judge, son-in-law to Attorney |
Andrew J. Nellis of Johnstown and Al |
,any, who assisted in the defense of
Roach.
