KEENE MURDER CASE
REACHES JURY TO-DAY
Final Arguments in Trial of Buchan
owsd and Salewski Were Begun
Yesterday.
Especial to The Reformer.)
KEENE, n. H., June 29


Only little progress was made yes
terday in the trial of Felix Buehanow
ski and Dominica Salewiski, who are
charged with the alleged murder of
Frank Salewiski. Mrs. Salewisli was
on the stand during the morning, tes-
tifying in her own behalf and during
the afternoon the cross examination
was taken up. Mrs. Salewiski is un-
able to speak English and the services
of an interpreter were required. The
witness appeared cool and did not seem
to be under any strain.
The witnesses that preceded Mrs.
Salewiski were Miss Sevigny and
lgnace Bednarski, to contradict testi-
mony which was entered by Felix Bu-
Jek for the state. Mrs. Salewiski took
the stand and related in detail the
| story Of her life. She was born in
Russia about 80 years ago and came
| ried soon after to Frank Salewiski.
She has three children, the Youngest a
hoy of nine weeks old.
! She contradicted testimony entered
fby the state and denied having any
knowledge that her husband was poi
sOned with arsenic or that she had
Tany poison in the house. She stated
that she had told her husband that the
meat had spoiled and she would not
eat it. There had been testimony
that Frank ate meat the night he was
Itaken i'll. She took the best care OF
her husband possible, she said, and
ldenied any misconduct with Felix
She told that she had Felix write let
tiers for her several times and other
lpeople had called upon Felix to write
for them because he was educated.
The cross examination of Mrs. Sale
wiski yesterday afternoon was short
Ebut to the point. Her testimony was
mot broken down to any extent. Sh'
told of the amount of beer and eide
that Frank drank the two days befor,
he was taken i'll. 1t was 4 'clocl

LICENSE BLANKS
ARE NOT HERE YET
But State Fish and Game Commission
er Hopes to Get Them All Out
by Tomorrow.

Under the new state law fishermen in
Vermont must have licenses with them
while fishing on and after July l. The
act that the license blanks have not all
been received at the Office of the state
fish and game commissioner makes it
probable that many fishermen who in
dulge in that sport Thursday viii not
be liable for failure to have with them
the proper licenses.
Town Clerk Carl S. Hopkins received
this morning the following letter from
John w. Titcomb, state commissioner:
''In response to your postcard in
quiry will say that we have an extra
large office force putting up and send
ing out the license blanks as fast as
they come from the printer. I am
in hopes that the printers win get
them all here so that we can get them
all distributed by Wednesday, but can
not guarantee ii. If we do not give the
fishermen opportunity to get them this
week we cannot hold them up when
fishing until they can get them. Re-
gretting that I cannot give you more
favorable reply,
Yours truly,
"JOHN w. TITCOMB. -

Nurse Fatally Hurt Posing
for Photograph at Han
over Hospital
THREE COMPANIONS
MORE OR LESS INJURED
Young Women Were Standing on Hos
pital Dome When Railing Gave Way
- Hospital Authorities Refuse to
Give Names OF Victims or Details.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, June
29.-While posing for a photograph on
the dome which surmounts the en-
trance to the Mary Hitchcock hospital
at Hanover, n. H., late yesterday af-
ternoon four nurses were precipitated
to the ground, distance of 20 feet,
when railing gave way, and one is
fatally injured, her back being broken
The other three are suffering from
lesser injuries. The hospital author
tiles declined last night to give any
details of the affair or the first names
of the injured women.
The injured
Miss Morton, back broken, cannot
live.
Miss Chase, ribs fractured.
Miss Archson, head injured
Miss Hale, bruised about hips
Miss Please, one Of the nursing staff
of the hospital, was taking the picture
| when the accident happened.
Determined to have their pictures
taken in unique pose the five young
women went out upon the dome and
in getting into position some one, or
all of the four before the camera,
leaned against the railing.
There was a sudden swapping Of the
| WOODWORK ana IN an instant the rall-
ing crumpled before the startled young
women could regain their footing. A
second later the four struck the ground.
The women's outcries quickly
brought assistance and the injured
nurses Were carried into the hospital
where they were attended by physi-
teians
Nothing could be learned last night
regarding where the nurses came from
to the hospital or whether they were
student or graduate nurses.
Miss Morton was a particular favor
ite among the nurses at the institution
and the announcement that her iniur-
les viii prove probably fatal has cast
, a gloom over the hospital.
Whether or not the young women
secured permission to go upon the
dome for the purpose of having their
pictures taken is not known.

Few witnesses Present.

The cases were set for trial at 9 o'clock
this morning and many witnesses had been
summoned, but only few arrived in New
fame this forenoon, most of them under
standing that they would be notified when
wanted. The fact that the witnesses had
not arrived when the hour came for open
ing court gave color to the general under
standing that settlement was expected
by the attorneys.
The attorneys for Mr.. Taylor were E.
w. Gibson, w. R Daley and A. F.
Schwenk, all Of Brattleboro, and the attor-
neys for Mrs Taylor were John G. Sar-
gent Of Ludlow and G. c. Fits of Brattle-
boro. When these five attorneys arrived
in Newfane they went into conference in
the lawyers room Mr., Taylor remained
in the court house and Mrs. Taylor and
friends went to the Newfane Inn.
Shortly afterwards Mr.. Sargent and Mr.
Fits went over to the hotel to confer
with Mrs. Taylor and when they returned
the lawyers occupied two rooms, and for
the next hour or more there was constant
| travelling from one room to the other, the
attorneys submitting to each other a va
riety of propositions.
