THOMAS MURDER CASE
Is NEARING The CLOSE

he asked Elisha if he would be at home
the following night, being the night
when J A. Thomas was killed.
Elisha Hayes was called to the stand
in the rebuttal for the state and void
OF Cromer Thomas trying to borrow
gun from him on the night before
the killing He said that he would not
loan the gun but told Cromer he would
sell it to him. He also said that
Cromer asked him if he would be at
home the next night.
Mrs. ]. A. Thomas, mother of the
defendant, was the last witness for
the defense and recited her previous
story of the killing and events that
led UP to it. in about the same man
ner as in the preliminary hearing. Her
story dove-tailed into that of Willie
Thomas and Leona as to happenings
around the home some time previous
to the shooting.
John G. Lewis. sheriff, was called
on rebuttal Off the state and told OF
his trip to the Thomas home on the
night of the killing. He stated that on
that night, Mrs. Thomas had told him
that she had not heard her husband
say anything before the shooting
started.
When court convened at 1880 condi
tions looked favorable for the cornple'
ton of the testimony this evening. IN
fact, there were few witnesses yet tc
be examined and unless cross examin
alton involved great deal OF time, the
conclusion Of the testimony should bt
easily accomplished before adjourn
ment for the day.
Leona Thomas, star witness for tht
defense, was on the stand yesterday
afternoon for two hours and was pnl
back for about an hour this morning
Her story was practically the same a
introduced at the preliminary hearing

at that time. These features were re-
sarding the attentions paid to her by
her father limited at yesterday by Will
lie Thomas, the defendant, when he
was on the stand
Witness told of several times when
her father told her he was going to
XIII her. together with the rest of the
family, and then kill himself, and of
the fear that was hers at all times
when he was near. She stated that
she fully expected to be killed. at what
time she knew not. She thought pos
sibly 1t might be in the cotton field,
at home while she slept or in the barn
lot, as she was performing her duties
as milkmaid
Miss Thomas stated that about four
years ago while she was riding to town
with her father on bale of cotton,
he tried for the first time to overpow-
er her. at first begging her and later
attempting to force her to submit to-
him. She told him that if he did not
stop his. attentions at once she would
have him arrested the minute they
arrived in town. 1t seemed, she said,
that this statement frightened him to
some extent, and that for some time
his attentions were not renewed. How
ever. some time before his death, he
resumed his former tactics, and wit

FIRE WATCHMEN TO SAVE
FORESTS.

The value OF the system of having fire
watahman stationed on Vermont noun.
tains was demonstrated in Windham
county last Sunday afternoon when the
watclman on Stratton mountain detect.
cd forest fire blazing between Brattle-
ooro and Guilford and notified the prop
er authorities in those towns. 1t mat
tiers not that at the same time the fire
also was detected by other persons in
the immediate vicinity, who were going
about the work of lighting the fire when
the message came from the mountain
the usefulness of the system was proven.
And if the value of the system was prov
en- in this more populous section, the
plan Of having fire watehmen would
prove even more valuable in the more
remote regions of Vermont, where there
are fewer people and, therefore, less like
lihood of early discovery OF danger.
These forest fire watchmen are likely
to save Vermont great amount of mon
ey in the aggregate in the course of a
summers work.

The Value of Our Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington.

In the current issue of Farm & Fire.
side appears the following paragraph,
which demonstrates the value of the ag-
ricultural department at Washington:
'The department of agriculture does
some of its best work in protecting us
against pests. Many of them, like the
gypsy moth, the chestnut blight, the
scale insects, the boil weevil the alfalfa
weeyil, and others, have slipped in in
spite of vigilance, and, like the English
sparrow, have found in new field free
dom from their old enemies and an OPP
portunity Of doing in some cases ten-fold
the damage OF which they were capab BILE
in their native lands. Recently some
Arizona cotton growers imported cotton
seed from Egypt which was found in
tested with the pink boil worm, the
greatest pest in the Egyptian fields, The
seed was confiscated, as it should have
been. To have introduce the pink boil
worm might have ruined the cotton in.
dustry of America. 1t is quite possible
that in this one act the department did
more for the financial benefit of the
country than its activities have cost us
in all the history OF the country"

How Connie Mack Handles Men.

In the June American Magazine
Eddie Collins. second baseman for the
Philadelphia athletics, writes a remark
lably interesting article describing his
baseball adventures during the past
seven years under the management OF
Connie" Mack, who il probably the
greatest baseball general in the world.
In the following extract from his article,
Collins tells a story in which he, gives an
insight into Mack's methods OF handling
men:
Down south, Mack shows attention
to young pitchers but not the slightest
TO his veterans. Indeed he generally
lets the veterans take care of them
selves This is especially apparent
around world series time. Last fall he
left us absolutely to condition ourselves.
He kept the regular team intact until
the last ten DAYS of the American league
season. We left for Boston on Tues
day night but Plank and Bender were
left behind Mack told them in plain
words that the burden Of defeating the
New York Giants was ON Them
You fellows have learned to know
how to take care Of yourselves he told
them. You know best how TO prepare
yourselves for the strain of world
series. Now YOU don't have to come
with the team ON this trip. | have de-
cided to give you ten days to get in
condition for New York. You are .at
liberty to use your time in any way You
want only show up fit
Bender selected course that took
him to the ball park every day He
spent his time pitching and in jogging
around Shibe park. He remained in Phil
adelphia and kept his mind right on the
game.
Plank, on the other hand, went out
to his farm in Gettysburg, remained
there a week and forgot baseball entire
". Long walks, and exercise in the
open kept him in shape, He did not
pitch a single baseball during those en-
tire ten days. Suppose some manager,
not as wise As Mack, had laid down ar
bitrary training rules for these two
men? Az ii was, the wisdom of Maek's
action is vindieated by what happened
in the world series Plank and Bender
never pitched better"

The Brattleboro Reformer commends
the recent Memorial day orator in its
town for breyity, declaring that the vet
Grams are not as strong and full of en-
durance as once they were. That which
was noted in Brattleboro also was noted
elsewhere; orators are learning that their
addresses of Is minutes or half an hour
are fully as effective as long drawn out
dissertations of an hour or so. More
over, many public speakers other than
platform orators are learning the same
lesson.

THE INTERNATIONAL FOG SIGNAL

CASE.
The first result that should follow the
collision OF the liner Empress of Ireland
and the collier Storstad in the st. Law
renee should be thorough consideration
of the signal system of vessels in times
of fog; if any of the signals conflict or
are OF possible double Interpretation a
new international code should be adopt
ed, which will do away with all doubt
as to Interpretation. The testimony Of
Captain Kendall of the liner was to the
effect that his vessel gave distinct sig
nails according to the international code
and his testimony also indicates that
the signals were at least heard by the
collier, for response came in one long
blast of the fog horn. Whether the EN-
press of Ireland's signals were misinter-
preted remains to be shown by the testi-
mony which Captain Anderson of the
Storstad is able to give when brought
before the properly constituted author
ity. The possibilities for disaster are so
numerous that the code should be made
as clear as possible; and, Furthermore, it
should be required absolutely that all
officers OF boats should be thoroughly
well informed concerning the meaning OF
each signal That is only a reasonable
precaution.
