HAD ALL-DAY TRIAL.
Student Of West Pawlet Finally Ac-
quilted of Fawn Killing.

Vutteu Oh FuWn NiihuEs
Rutland, Nov. Gan all days jury
trial in city court Of the Fair Haven dis
trict to-day resulted in the acquittal of
Barden Nelson Of West Pawlet of q
charge Of killing a fawn. 1t was also the
first prosecution in this county since the
opening Of the deer hunting season
against the growing habit Of killing small
deer. Although the fish and game law
says fawns shall not be killed, it does
not define, nor do the statutes define a
fawn.
Nelson, who is student in the Albany,
n. Y. Business College, was arrested on
a warrant issued by States Attorney c.
V. Poulin of this city. The jury brought
in verdict Of not guilty this evening.
The deer in the case weighed 90 pounds
and looked to be a little bigger than a
shepard dog. 1t Is figured that the hear
ing cost the State about $50. Had 1t been
tried before justice with a jury OF six
men II is figured the cost would have
been about half as much and it would
probably have cost 500 to have appealed
the acse to county court.
