HATCH IS CAPTURED
Man Who Killed Sumner Brown IN Pool Room
Sunday Night Arrested at Home of Uncle
In East Barnet Last EVening-Ad-
mitS He Fired Fatal Shot

Harlow w. Hatch, who escaped
shortly after the shooting and Kill
ling of Sumner Brown in his pool
room Sunday evening, is in the coun-
ty Jail this morning, having been
brought here last evening by Sher-
iff Worthen and Deputies Fred S.
Hartman and George A. Richardson
after capture at the home of his un-
Gle, James Hatch, near East Barnet.
The arrest was made by Deputy Rich
ardson, who had been instructed by
Sheriff Worthen to demand of James
Hatch the delivery of the suspected
murderer or he would be arrested for
harboring a criminal. The young
man came to his uncle's house about
eight o'clock last evening for food
and Deputy Richardson soon had him
under arrest and notified Sheriff
Worthen ~ come at once.
The young man claims this was his
first visit to his uncle's house and
that he had been hiding in a barn
nearby since Sunday night and that
he left his hiding place once Mon
day night to get some water in the
pasture The officers do not credit
this story however and think his un
Gle knew of his whereabouts since
his escape Sunday night.
This theory is strengthened by
the fact that Police Officer Wallace
visited the home of James Hatch
about 1.10 Monday morning and
found the house lighted and Mr..
Hatch up and fully dressed. He dis
claimed any knowledge of Harlow
Hatch's whereabouts at that time but
Officer Wallace could not understand
why he should be up at that time un-
less he had seen the fugitive.

Tuesday last stole a horse belonging
to M. c. Brown of East Ryegate. The
theft was not reported to Sheriff
Worthen until Thursday afternoon
when he followed clue that led him

Sheriff Worthen started for that
place and found his man and placed
him under arrest. He confessed his
crime and said he had sold the horse

Mission Notes.

The crowd, $50 people, at the open
air meeting last Sunday was the
largest so far this season. But that
is not enough for town of this size
when we take into consideration
that there is not any service in the
churches on Sunday evening. There
ought to be at least 500 people pres
ent at the service on the Bullard lot
next Sunday July %, at five o'clock
in the afternoon. Rev. Y. A. Ed
wards of Newport will be the speaker.
Good singing by the men from the
different churches.
The Mission Hall was we'll filled to
hear DR.. Grint speak from the text,

Hatch said but little about the
crime on his way to Jail last night
but admitted that he fired the shot
that killed Brown, but claims he did
not know the revolver was loaded.
This story is not credited by the Of
flcers and Hatch will be charged
with murder in the second degree.
States Attorney Norton was noti-
fed of the shooting Sunday evening
but has not put in an appearance
here to investigate the case. His
law partner, E. A. Cook, of Lyndon
vile, came last night after the ar
rest and with Sheriff Worthen ques-
toned the prisoner. Their findings
are not made public but it is expect
ed a special grand jury will be sum-
moned to investigate the case and re-
turn an indictment against Hatch
Story of the Shooting
About 825 Sunday evening the
sound of a revolver shot was heard
in the pool room in the basement of
the Randall and Whitcomb block and
a moment later Sumner Brown STUN
bled out of the door crying I'm shot"
and fell to the sidewalk on Eastern
Avenue. People sitting on the court
house park opposite ran across the
street and dragged him back into
the pool room where he expired i'm
In the pool room was
Harlow w. Hatch, proprietor of the
place and near him was a revolver
which was quickly picked up by one
of the bystanders. One chamber of
the revolver was empty and it was
later delivered to the officers.
An alarm was Immediately given
to the police and doctors called but
Brown was dead before medical help
arrived. During the confusion Hatch
who was in his shirt sleeves and hat
less moved out of the crowd and
made his escape. He went on Main
street where he met Mildred Delaney
and Mrs. Mccarthy and attempted to
have them take his keys. They were
so frightened at his appearance that
he passed on and next appeared at
the Pope Lunch Cart at the corner of
Eastern Avenue and Pearl Street
where he asked Harold Stafford, the
night attendant, to loan him a coat
and a hat. Stafford told him he had

AID FOR VERMONT YOUTH
The University of Vermont Will As
sist Boys of the State to Obtain
Higher Education.

The University of Vermont is de-
sirous of assisting the youth of Yer
mont in completing their education.
This is made possible through spec
ial endorsement known as the Jude
vine fund, the readers attention be-
ing called to this subject in an ad-
vertisement of the University which
appears in this issue. The .opportun-
ity thus afforded will no doubt be ac-
cepted by many Vermont youths.
The University has a we'll estab-
hshed policy of assisting students in
securing employment during their
school years, and in also securing
positions for graduates upon leaving
the University. An employment bu-
reau is maintained for both men and
women students who desire to coin
money in defraying their college ex-
penses. Many students have been
aided under this policy.
While the University does not
guarantee to secure positions for its
graduates, it uses its best efforts to
find places for them. Excellent po-
sitions found every year for many
graduates under this system.
Through its alumni and friends the
University keeps in touch with op-
portunities for it's graduates. Many
requests are received from business
houses, educational institutions and
agencies for persons to fill vacancies
and there have been times when there
were more positions offered than
there were students. Large corpor-
ations engage University of Vermont
students every year.
One department this year secured
positions for half the number of its
graduates and no doubt will be able
to- find places for the remaining half
within a reasonable time.

nothing there and directed him to
Mr.. McDuffee in the Scott block across
the street. Hatch is reported to have
said in leaving that he had shot a
man and must get out. He threw his
keys into the corner of the room as
he went cut. Apparently he did not
see McDuffee but kept on down Pearl
street and a little later he was met
on the dry bridge on lower Railroad
street by Alphonse Dutil and Louis
Chesney going south. .4ss
Men Had Been Riding.
That in brief is the story of a muir
der the cause of which is a mystery.
Brown was an employe of Hatch and
the two men had just returned from
an automobile ride with Charles z.
Kirk up through DanvilIe, down
Joe's Brook and back to st. Johns
bury. Mr.. Kirk left them at the pool
room about 10 or Is minutes before
the shooting occurred. Mr.. Kirk
stories about the trip and the condi-
ton of the men are somewhat con-
fiicting. Sunday evening just after
the shooting he admitted that the
men were considerably under the in
funece of liquor but Monday morning
he emphatically denied that they
showed any indications of intoxica-
ton. He says they made several
stops on the auto trip but did not
state who the parties visited were.
A partially emptied jug of hard cider
was found in the pool room and it is
believed that was responsible for the
shooting.
Autopsy Indicated Murder.
The body of Brown was taken to
Stanley's undertaking rooms and held
until Monday when an autopsy was
performed by DR.. H. J. Whitney from
the State Laboratory of Hygiene, as
sisted by local physicians. They
found that the bullet entered the
right chest between the second and
third rib and passed downward and
lodged between the seventh and
eighth ribs in the left side. 1t pass
ed through the aorta causing him to
bleed to death. The course of the
bullet showed that it was not self-in-
ficted.
Permission was given for the re-
moval of the body and it was taken
to Jefferson, N. H., yesterday after
noon, where the funeral will be held
this afternoon. Mr. Brown was 80
years old last September. Both his
father and mother are dead but he is
survived by his wife and three years
old daughter, and two sisters, Mrs.
Charles Sedgell of East Lancaster, N.
H., and Mrs Carl Perkins of Jeffer
son. The remains were accompanied |
to Jefferson by Mrs. Brown and her
father, George Kiser, of Fitzdale. |
Mrs. Browns aunt, Mrs. EIbert Quinn
by of Concord also went with them to
attend the funeral which will be held
at the home of an uncle, James Cess
nor.
Search For Fugitive.
About two hours after the shoot
ing Sheriff Worthen, police and depu-
ties began the search for the suppos-
ed murderer. They scattered in var
ious directions, being out all night |
Sunday night and the greater part of
Monday, but no clue beyond the dry |
bridge was found until last evening. /

DELIGHTFUL MUSICALE
Visiting Artists Entertained At The
Home of Mrs Babbidge.

LLOAAAC III NAESs D&ADDAukCs
A delightful musicale was given at
the home of Mrs. K. B. Babbidge, 88
Main street on Saturday evening. st.
Johnsbury has several metropolitan
musicians here for the summer and
the program was in consequence one
of unusual interest. The singing of
the well-known artist and teacher,
Miss Bertha Wesselhoeft Swift of
Boston, was a rare treat. She has
a beautiful enunciation, combined
with much dramatic ability and a
charming personality. Her full,
clear voice which has wonderful
strength and resonance, is under per-
feet control and was heard to great
advantage in various groups of songs.
st. Johnsbury is fortunate in having
resident for the summer a teacher of
such ability and experience as Miss
Swift.
Mrs. Margaret Gorham Glaser, who
is well-known to st. Johnsbury peo-
pie gave great pleasure by her artis-
tic rendering of several delightful
selections for the piano. A number
of young musicians contributed to
the further enjoyment of the evening,
among them Miss Swift's pupil Miss
Geraldine O'Callaghan whose voice
showed great purity and range and
under training gives much promise
for the future
Miss Doris 1. Donaldson of Worces-
ter, Mass, played violin selection
with much feeling and sympathetic
understanding while her younger sis
ter, Miss Corinne, delighted her audi
ence with several clever recitations
given with charming ease and facility.
AT-L 4 III
the program was the playing of the
Misses French whose abilities are
well-known among us. Miss Mar
jorie French accompanied by her sis
ter, Miss Lola French at the piano,
rendered on the violin a charming
composition by the latter which show
ed real talent on the part of composer
and performer. Mrs. Babbidge's
guests will long remember this eve
ming of unusual interest and pleasure.
