A SEARCH AND SEIZURE CASE
Golden Cross People Have Much Fun
At Mock Trial

The other evening after lodge meet
ing the Golden Cross people had a
lot of enjoyment over mock trial in
which many laughable features were
introduced. 1t was a search and sci
! zure case, that of the State against
Howard Steward and his alleged wife,
Mamie Hayden. George H. Burns was
the prosecuting attorney and Clyde H.
Clarence Hayden acted as Judge and
Mrs. Angie B. Steward as clerk of
courts. The court stenographer was
Mrs. Mary Pratt. The witness for the
state were Sheriff, A. B. Frost; Dep
uty Sheriff, Edward Estabrook, Mrs.
Irving Gates and Mrs. Cassie Hayden.
Those appearing for the respondent
were DR.. George Cleveland, Maud
Adams, Mrs. Edward Estabrook, Jo-
seph Roderick and Robt. Green, Mr..
Steward and his wife appearing in
their own behalf.
The attorney for the respondent OBJ
jected to the form of the writ, 1t be-
ing a single writ, but naming two re-
spondents. Judge Hayden ruled how
ever that since the two people were
married they became one. The wit
nesses for the state showed that there
had been a large consignment of
| liquor come there, that the respond
ents were not known to have any oc-
cupation, but were people of ample
means. 1t seems that on the occas-
sion of the search and seizure. liquor
| had been found in the bed and peo-
pie had been seen to come and go
| from there in an intoxicated condition.
The respondents denied all this how
ever, and introduced witnesses to
prove the same. Dr. Cleveland testi-
| fled that he had studied medicine at
the Cornville Medical School and had
done three years post graduate work
with DR.. Salley. further stating that
the liquor found there had been pre-
scribed for his patients. He told Of
the famous cures he had affected and
Miss Adams, in the role of trained
nurse corroborated the testimony of
the physician. The respondent claim
ed that the liquor had been put in the
bed to keep it away from the children.
Robt. Green told of purchasing liquor
from the Stewards Certain letters
were read purporting to be from Dep
uty Estabrook and Mrs. Gates, which
| they both denied writing and many
| laughable features were introduced be-
| fore the judge instructed the jury to
bring a verdict of guilty. Upon their
refusing to do so he took the case
away from them and found the re-
spondent guilty, imposing fine that
they should furnish an entertainment
at their expense at the meeting to be
| held tonight The attorney for the de-
PENDANT wished to take exceptions to
judges ruling and take an appeal. 1t
was ruled howevere that as there
was no higher court no appeal could
! be taken.

Rescript in Getchell Kirkby Case

The following rescript has been
! handed down in the case of Lorenzo
Getchell vs.. Harry Kirkby.
! Rescript, Hanson, J.
This is an action assumpsit for in
| terest and the first instalment on a
I note for $1,000, payable 500 per an
mum, with interest payable annually.
The verdict was for the defendant, and
the case is here on motion and eXcep-
lions by the plaintiff.
The plaintiff sold a farm to the de-
| PENDANT on May |. 1913, receiving
! therefor $500 in cash and the above
note and also an agreement to secure
him on a part of the crops to insure
the first two payments. Before the
sale was made, the plaintiff told the
defendant that the farm had yielded
! 80 tons of hay the previous year. and
that the income from all sources was
81, 900, and offered to show his books
| to the defendant
The plea was the general issue. UNI
/ der which the defendant resisted pay
ment upon the ground that the con-
tract had been rescinded. Rescission
was based upon two grounds; /: That
the plaintiff had represented that the
! farm had produced 3S tons of hay in
1912. and 2: That he had received
: 81 900 for his products the same year
and defendant claims that these state
ments on which he relied were untrue,
and that he was deceived thereby.
! Held. l. The right to reseission Is
| limited to cases where the seller can
| be put substantially in the position he
/ occupied before the contract III ono
would rescind he must restore.
I 2. Notice that possession will be dell

LOCAL ITEMS

Probate Court has been in session

not obliged to resort to a separate ac-
ton for deceit or upon a warranty.
6. Here the defendant did not rely
wholly upon want of consideration.
His main defence was fraud, and to
render that defense available, 1t was
indispensable that he should surrend-
er the property, II he wished to make
rescission. He must put the defend
ant in as good position as he was be-
fore; otherwise the rescisson is not
complete The purchaser cannot de-
rive any benefit from the purchase and
yet rescind the contract. 1t must be
nullified in toto or not at all.
7. The power to cancel an executed
contract ought never to be exercised
except in a clear case, and never for
an alleged fraud unless the fraud be
made clearly to appear, never for al
legged false representations. unless
their falsty is certainly proved and
unless the complainant has been de-
ceiyed and injured by them.
s. The evidence in this case does
not support finding of fraud, or es.
tablish facts from which fraud may be
inferred and it is evident from the
record that the jury considered but
one question, that of the alleged re-
session. AS has been seen, such re-
session was not complete. 1t is I'M
necessary to consider the exceptions.
Motion sustained.
Verdict set aside.

BY August there were IT'S tele
phones in use-all in Boston-and
tor men had IN absolute monopoly OF
the telephone business. A little later
Theodore N. Vail was prevailed upon
to resign from the government mail
service and become general manager
of a little telephone company that
was hardly organized and had no
money Month after month the lit
tie Bell company lived from hand to
mouth. No salaries were paid in
full. Often, for weeks, they were
not paid at all In 1880. John j.
Carly timidly asked for job as
operator in the Boston exchange. He
showed such an aptitude for the work
that he was soon made one of the
captains.
In 1893 Boston and New York were
talking to Chicago, Milwaukee, Pitts
burg and Washington, and one half
the people of the United States were
within talking distance of each other.
The thousand-m mile talk had ceased to
be fairy tale.
Several years later the line was
pushed over the plains to Omaha, and
subsequently nearly 800 miles were
added, enabling the spoken word in
Boston to be heard in Denver.
The Boston 'San Francisco line will
probably not be offered for general
commercial use until the early sum-
mer.
Telephone engineers have dreamed
Of the time when the wires would
span the continent That time has
come. For the moment it seems as
though there is no other great thing
for which TO strive. And yet progress
in telephony in the United States is
making such tremendous strides that
no man can prophesy the wonder
full things that may be done in the
future.

The line from Boston to San Fran
cisco runs direct to Buffalo, 465
miles; thence to Chicago, Cos miles,
to Omaha 500 miles, to Denver 5S5
miles, to Salt Lake City $50 miles and
to San Francisco no miles, total
of 35O5 miles.
A spur line runs from Chicago to
Pittsburg, 545 miles, and thence to New
York, 800 miles Another spur con-
meets Buffalo and New York, $50 miles.
On the same day the line between
Boston and San Francisco was opened
telephone conversation was estab-
lisbed between New York and San
Francisco. Professor Bell talked from
the New York end and his early as5o-
ciate, Thomas A. Watson, from San
Francisco.
An interesting fact in connection
with the opening of this line is that
Professor Bell used at the, New York
end an exact reproduction of his first
crude instrument. At first it could
be used only few feet. That that
instrument could be used in talking
between New York and San Francisco
is due to the skill and inventions OF
those engineers who followed Bell af-
ter his retirement from the telephone
business, in the perfection of the
telephone I'D of switchboards, cables
and the hundreds of other accessors
to successful telephone transmission.
Looking Backward to the Beginning
On the evening of Oct. 9, 1876, the
first long conversation over the tele-
phone was made by Bell and Watson
They talked for three hours over a
telegraph line between Boston and
Cambridge 1t was the wonder OF
the day. IN May, 1877, Charles
town man leased two telephones-the
first money ever paid for telephone
service. The same month the first
tiny and crude telephone exchange
was born with five telephones con-
nected.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1915-02-05

fastest trains it takes five days and
i've nights-120 hours-to go from
Boston to San Francisco. And yet it
will only be little while before the
business man can sit comfortably in
his office and travel instantly by tele-
phone between the two cities over
tons Of copper wire.
The opening of this line has a pc
culiar significance to the people OF
Boston and New England, for it was
in Boston that Professor Alexander
Graham Bell invented the telephone in
1875, less than forty years ago. A
little later the longest toll line in the
world stretched from Boston to
Lowell and the service was poor and
intermittent. How marvellous has
been the progress.
And the men who were associate
with Bell in those telephone pionee :

) Bradstfeet's Burlington, VT, Of
fl &c reports in summarizing trade
con .ditiofs for the month of January
that While there are manufacturing
lines that are operating below what
is apparent for the same month of
1914. there are others that are doing
good business. The plants that
are fully employed are those that
have received orders from foreign
countries. The domestic demand
appears to be restricted to smaller
orders and those for immediate con-
sumption. The machine manufac-
turing plans at both Windsor and
Springfield have been well employed
during the month and some over
time has been necessary Manufac-
turers of automobile PARTS cate
he market conditions net 40 to
the average. Granite Tor building
purposes is very quiet although
there is better feeling regarding
the future than has been expressed
for four months. Granite for mon
umental work has been ordered in
small amounts. Veneer manufac-
Lurers report quiet business; this is
attributed to the small amount of
business received at the furniture
manufacturing plants. Organ man.
ufactures note little, if any improve
ment in demand for their class of
goods.
The three failures in this State for
the past month showed seven times
as much money involved as was
noted in like number of failures
that occurred during January 1914.
Of the three failures of January,
1915, two were voluntary bankrupt
cies with total assets of $32,575 and
total liabilities of $54, 405. The
month preceding gave ten bank
ruptcies affecting mercantile inter-
ests with total liabilities of $76,415
and assets of $43,7S5. Included In
the records of fires for the month
just closed were five affecting seven
mercantile interests with an aggre-
gate damage of $1,000. January
of a year ago recorded Il fires af-
fecting 10 business enterprises with
an approximate total damage of
$104, 843. There were seven domestic
corporations chartered with a total
capitalization of $665, 900.

shoots Large Bob Cat

John Harrington, the l6 year-old
son Of Warren Harrington, who re-
sides in the eastern section CT the
village of Bennington known as AL
endale Park, brought into town
Wednesday January goth, the largest
specimen of bay lynx or bob cat
seen in that vicinity in many years.
The big cat was killed by young
Harrington while hunting rabbits on
Hathaway hill in plain sight Of the
village. The young hunters dog
freed the animal in small spruce.
1t was too dark for the boy to de-
termine the nature of the animal,
which he thought might be racoon.
The animal measured 80 inches
from nose to tip Of the short tail and
weighed 22t pounds.
