shown by Mrs. Courser to her husband
during the trouble. and the fact that the
respondent was not entirely a dangerous
criminal. not as in comparison with an
other respondent who had appeared at
the present term of court on a similar

he was met by his wife. who remained

Mr. Ducharme notified Mr.. Quay. who at
once turned in an alarm from box 20,

The result of the autopsy was read

baby was paralyzed on the left side from
head to foot. On the right side thu
outer ear was formed, but lacked the
drum, and the child would have been
deaf because there was no ear on the

LOVE DEN|CO-iH0OTs HIMSELF
Waterford YOUTHS Sweetheart BE-
comes Nurse Whereat the Boy
Seeks Solace by Suicide.

Lower Waterford Nov. c1.-Despondent
over love affair. Samuel w. Phillips,
aged "a. the son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
place. ended his life to-day by shooting
himself in the temple with a % callbre
pistol. The young man left the house
after breakfast and. upon hearing a
shot, his mother rushed into the yard
and found him near the garage with his
head lying in a pool of blood. DR.. r. G..
French Of Concord was hastily sum-
moned, but the young man only lived two
hours. He was the only child and had
spent his entire life on the home farm.
He was educated in the public school Of
this place and was known as q young
man of good habits. He was member
of the Congregational Church and the
Modern Woodmen of America.
The funeral will be held at the home
Tuesday and burial will be in the Gene
terry at Upper Waterford.
According to the young mans par
ents this act was the outcome of a dis
appointment in love. They claim Sam
uel was engaged to l9-year-old Inez
Rowland of Bethlehem, n. H., whom he
met while visiting relatives at that place.
They kept company for about a year,
and according to Mr.. Phillips were to
have been married last October. All ar
| rangements were made for the wedding
when Miss Rowland decided to enter a
hospital at Littleton, n. H., for training
as nurse and the proposed wedding
was called off on this account. SO far
as Mr.. and Mrs. Phillips know there
| was never any quarrel between the two
| and they were not aware Of the fact that
the young man had brooded to any great
extent over the estrangement. He had
acted in normal manner and his suicide
was a distinct surprise to them.

The coroner's jury concluded it's report

a surgeon Is fully within his rights In
refusing to perform any operation which
his conscience will not sanction. We
