Important Case Under Ver-
mont's Deer Law Is
Being Tried
LOUIS PROVENCHE
is RESPOND
Action Is Bror 81 Before
Montpelis <sunici-
pal Court

What is fawn? was the subject of
court inquiry at Montpelier to-day, when
the case of State VS.. Louis Provenche
was put on trial before Judge L. M.
Harvey of the Montpelier municipal
court. The sessions were held in the
county courthouse.
The following jury was drawn: John
i. Hale OF East Montpelier, w. J. Royce
of Berlin, Jesse King Of Montpelier, Ed
win G. Gill of Montpelier, d. P Sawyer
OF Middlesex, G. G. Grandfeld of Middle
sex, M. R. Price of Middlesex, George l..
Pray of East Montpelier, John G. Farrar
of Montpelier, George G. Benjamin of
Berlin, d. j. Dwinell of Montpelier and
i. II. Sihley Of East Montpelier. The
case was prosecuted by II. J. Conant,
game warden for Washington county,
and r. A. Hoar and w. A. Lord repre-
sented the respondent.
Witnesses heard this morning were
City Clerk James Mackay of Barre,
Charles Keith, game warden for Barre,
L. Aldrichetti of Barre, a meat dealer.
Deputy Sheriff and Game Warden f. G.
Bartlett of Plainiield, and County Game
Warden Fred w. Haywood of Rutland
county.
Deputy Bartlett testified to talking
with Provenche after the latter had shot
the deer in question during the recent
open season. He asked Proyenche what
the weight of the deer was, and the
hunter did not know; he had sold it to a
meat dealer in Barre and estimated the
weight at so pounds. The witness didn't
know whether that weight was before or
after the animal was dressed.
About an hour was spent in the eff
,ort of the state TO qualify Game War
len Haywood of Rutland county as an
expert" on deer He testified that he
lad brought up deer for seven or eight
years, having found the young animals
n the woods. When he expressed his
opinion as to what fawn is, the re-
pondent's counsel objected. The wit
less said he had found deer as small
IS four and eight pounds. He then went
m to describe the coloring Of the young
nimals and how they changed color.
The carcass of the deer in question was
rought into court and placed on exhibi-
ion during the trial When court took
he noon recess, the question of qualify
lg Haywood as deer expert" was still
nder consideration.

SUPREME COURT SUSTAINS
$4,000 DAMAGE VERDICT
IN FAVOR OF RAIL-
WAY PORTER.

"A verdict for $4,000, obtained
by Arthur M. Murray, a former
Pullman porter, against the Phila-
delphia and Reading Railway
Company for personal injuries was
sustained by the Supreme Court
recently with the ruling that an
employee like Murray had to be
safely carried to his destination the
same as a regular passenger.
Murray suffered injuries which
resulted in paralysis by the sudden
stopping Of train at Mahanoy
junction on November 4, 1911.
The case was tried in Court No. l,
and the railroad maintained that
Murray's Contract of employment
contained a waiver of rights to re-
cover damages in the event of ac-
cident.
Justice Potter, in sustaining
Judge Patterson's rulings, held
that the waiver clause in the en-
ployment contract was not avail
able as defense in q suit for dam
ages. Quoting decision from a
similar case he said:
"The undertaking on the part of
the railway company is as a com
mon carrier, and the party, though
he be not "A passenger in the ordi-
nary meaning of the word, is yet

gers SO far as his safe tranporta-
