pleaded guilty to ignorance, merely

COURT RAISES
new Law POINT
in DAMAGE CASE

The law of the case" new point
in territorial Jurisprudence but which
is applied In many courts on the main.
land. has been raised by the supreme
court in the damage suit of George 4.
Ward against the lnter-Island Steam
Navigation Company. Whether sthe
law Of the case shall be used In this
case is question which the court
deems debatabIe, and 1t has asked
counsel fer the parties to present
briefs on It By March i6 Attorney
Z. A. Douthitt represents the plain
tiff and Smith, Warren, Hemenway &
Sutton appear for the defendants.
As applied on the mainland ethe law
of the case means that when q suit
is carried up on appeal more than
once the ruling of the appellate court
on points of law in the former appeal
shall apply similarly the second time.
unless new questions OF fact alter the
cases status. Thus on second sor
later appeals the appellate court would
be permitted to pass upon only new
points not decided in the first In
stance. -
Tie Ward case has been pending
for something like two years. He
sued for $25. 900 damages for injuries
received on the company's coal con-
yeyor. On the first trial Circuit Judge
H. E. Cooper took the case from the
jury and declared a non-suit. Ward
appealed, obtained a re-committal and.
on second trial before a jury, obtain.
ed judgment for $4,000. The defend
ant company appealed and this Is
pending in the supreme court.

ONE STRONGHOLD ISOLATED

London, April 2S-The Allies have
made rapid progress in their land and
sea attack upon the Dardaneles-th the
gateway to Constantinople. Already
the British troops have thrown a line
across the southern extremity of the
Gallipoli peninsula from the coast in
the Aegean Sea to point northeast
of .Eski Hissarlik. strongly fortified
position facing the straits, thus is
olated the Turkish stronghold at
Sedd FL Bahr, at the very lips of the
Dardanelles, which had previously
been destroyed by the fire OF the
ileet.
This has been done, says the Ad-
miralty tonight. in the face of a
strenuous resistance by the Turkish
foot of ground won with furious OBJ
stinacy The fighting throughout has
been exceedingly bitter and of char
acter which reveals very clearly that
the Turks know that they are strug-
Cling not merely for the possession of
few forts along the Straits but for
the capital of their country.
The Russian Black Sea fleet, on the
other hand, has begun
bardment of the forts of the Bospor-
us, at the neck OF the narrows. The
Turkish forts. situated six miles
within the Bosporus, have been sub
mitted to heavy fire by the Russian
warships. One fort at the entrance
has already been destroyed.
Further north on the Aegean side
OF the peninsula, at Gaba Tebeh and
at point opposite the inland village
of Sari Bair, additional landing forces
have made good their footliold on.
Turkish soil and have driven the op
posing forces back from the coast
despite vigorous artillery fire.
Gaba Tebeh is about ten miles from
the end of the Gallipoli peninsula
Sari Bair is about five miles further
north. The troops who drove a line
across the peninsula to the vicinity
of Esk Hissarlik landed on a lever
shore some three miles from the en-
trance to the straits. Eski Hissarki
is some three miles inside the straits.

PERHAM CLAIMS HE
FIRED AT HILL IN
SELF-DEFENCE
Man Wanted For P0WnaI Shooting
Tells His Story
MADE NO ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE
SAYS He Was Justified In Shooting
Hill and is Ready to
Answer.

States Attorney Frank C. Archi-
bald of Manchester arrived mere
from Burlington Wednesday after
noon and accompanied by Sheriff
Frederick Godfrey went TO Pownal TO
investigate the shooting OF John H..
Hill which occurred late Tuesday af-
ternoon at Hills farm near Perch
pond
The officers found Marshall Per-
ham, the alleged assailant of Hill,
at an adjoining farm where he had
been ever since the shooting. Per
ham stated that so far as he knew no
one had been searching for him and
he had made no attempt to escape.
In shooting Hill, he said that he had
acted in self defence to protect his
own life and that he was ready to ap
pear in court when wanted.
According to Perham's story he
had worked for Hill on the latter's
farm and that the quarrel Tuesday
afternoon. out of which Hill received
two revolver bullets in the leg, was
over an adjustment of wages. Per-
ham says that the quarrel began in
the house and that Hill hit him
over the head with a shovel. Hill,
Perham says, went into another
room and returned with small 32-
calibre revolver. Seeing that his op-
ponent was armed, Perham says that
he went to an upstairs room and
brought down the big old fashioned
powder and ball revolver with which
he put the two bullets in Hills thigh.
During the fight, in which Perham
says Hill hit him with the revolver
butt. the two men worked their way
out of doors Here. according to
Perham's story Hill aimed the
small revolver and pulled the trigger.
The cartridge failed to explode. Per
ham says he then fred twice. The
bullets did not bring Hill to the
ground. The veteran OF the civil war
is a rugged man though somewhat
crippled by rheumatism. lie walked
into the house and through his house
keeper, who is Perham's mother.
news of the shooting was telephoned
to DR.. r. T.. Potter of North Pownal.
BY the physician the wounded man
was taken in an automobile to North
Adams where the bullets were sue
cessfully extracted at the city hospi
tai
When Sheriff Godfrey returned from
Pownal Wednesday evening he
brought with him the two revolvers
which figured in the quarrel. Two
of the chambers in the big 45-calibre
gun owned by Perham were empty.
The other four were charged with
powder and ball. The caps had
been removed from the nipples.
There were cartridges in all of the
chambers of the weapon belonging to
Hill. The cartridges were center
fire and one of the primers was dent
ed showing that an unsuccessful at
tempt had some time been made to
use the pistol.
