A Militant Suffragette
IN FIVE PARTS

suffragette bill which he intends to
bring before Parliament and plan a
sweeping campaign. The lords fin
ance gives the women valuable am
muniton against him in the form of
the love letters and Nellie grasps the
opportunity not knowing the man
she plans to strike down is the strang
er she loves.
The young suffragette goes forth to
subdue the enemy of the women's
cause, armed with the love letters
and bomb which she places in the
statesman's study set to explode at
midnight; but her mission fails. The
identity of the man now known to
her, Nellie Immediately plans to un-
do her rash act and save her lover.
warning him of his danger but his
answer relieves the girl by leading
her to believe he will be out of dang
er through his absence from home
when the bomb goes off. She learns
later from a newspaper, however,
that the meeting he has TO attend is
to be in his own house and vainly
tries to warn him of impending dang
er. Through the help of one of his
colleagues, Nellie finally succeeds In
having Ascue leave his study to see
her Just as the bomb explodes. To
allay the suspicion of his friends the
girl is announced as the lords fiancee
and little later their mutual love
for each other is proclaimed. The
statesman has the support of Parlia-
ment in his fight against Votes for
women but the girl has sacrificed
her cause for victory by the heart.

the pleasures of life in the country,
the young girl is attracted by pass

Lord Ascue, member of Parliament.
All efforts to meet him are thwarted
by her companions to whom the
stranger is known. She even goes
so far as to invent ways of meeting
him which fail until the news is
brought her of a chance to be intro

TOWN FARM HOUSE
Selectmen Considered Question Of
Rebuilding

The selectmen spent good share
of Thursday afternoon talking over
the town farm question and consider
ing whether TO rebuild on the old site
There are some who urge taking
the box factory building which was
left to the town by the late Rufus b.

use that instead of rebuilding. Among
those who favor putting up new
building in place of the one burned,
some want a frame building while
others prefer brick.
The selectmen plan to gather all
the Information they can and get
estimates Of cost and then put the
question before the voters at a spec.

Rutland, Dec. 24.--Arter being out
nearly 20 hours the jury in Rutland
county court at t1:iO o'clock this morn
ing returned verdict Of not guilty in
the case OF william r. Koch, Jr Of
the murder of Charles Gordon Il trap
pcr at I[Ochs game preserve on Lake
Champaign November .. 1919 This vor-
dict means that the jury considers that
koch was justified IN shooting Gordon
in self-defense. The respondent had
been confined at the Rutland county
Jail since the evening Of the day Of the
shooting. lie was discharged by Judge
Frank l.. Fish Immediately after the
verdict was heard.
When Foreman perley n. KendIick
of Pittsrord spoke the two words which
mean that Koch may cat his Christmas
dinner at home tomorrow instead of
at the house of correction. there were
very few people in the court room ex-
ccpt the counsel for both sides and

the trial was not present ON hearing
that he was free, Koch embraced his

The trial Of Koch was Leeun on the

for the sunday recess. until the ca Sc
reached the jury at four C'Glocl: yester-
day afternoon. Attorney General Ru-
rus T.. Brown Of Burlington and states
Attorney y. H. Stafford of this city

Koch was very calm when the Yer.
diet was pronounced This afternoon
he was seen driving about the business
streets in Mr.. O'Brien's carriage.
Asked for a statement about the
case. Mr.. Jones OF the defendants
counsel, said this afternoon: Il claim
no glory in this matter Like my as

mp our case. Mr. O'Bricn's careful
examination of Nh Koch and Mr..
Moloneys skilful crosse examination
of oliver Neddo, the lighthouse ten

II cannot understand why men like
Coroner Connors of Whitehall. "A man
in an official position, should have
undertaken to have impeached tho
testimony Of u witness like Miss | la
A. Ripley or to have DESTROYED the
effect Of her testimony. II is evident
that the jury did not believe Neddo's

as being frank enough al the outset
There were several inconisitcncies in
his evidence Miss Kipiey's story was
more consistent and the jurors be

BROODED ABOUT COUCH.
Friend of Lawyer Leaves Christmas
Preparations and Kills himself.

Monticello. y. y, Dec 2i.--Stanlcy
smith. q jcwclcr, broke in upon the
preparation of Christmas tree in
his home tonight by shooting him
self to death. No reason is known for
the suicide as he was successful in
business and his family relations were
happy. Friends thought that the
tragic death ct Melvin II. Couch, how
EVER, may have influenced his act.
He was close friend of Couch and
the surmise is that the disclosure of
the lawyers double life had proved
upon his mind. az he talked continu-
ally about it.
Smith used am old army pistol to
shoot himself. lie left the members
of his family preparing the christ
mas tree" a task in which he had been
assisting and went upstairs. locking
himself in his room. The family
heard shot forced the loor and
found MIN dead. He had been a sue
ccssful iewelcr in Monticello for
many wears.
