JURY DISAGREED
No Dicision In Case Against G.. w
BOItOn-Thfcc East Rycgate
Thieves Sentenced.

After over "a hours of dcliberation
the jury on the case of State VS. George
w. Bolton of West Burke, charged
with performing an Illegal operation,
were still unable to agree. The jury
reported during Wednesday afternoon,
each time receiving instruction from
the judge and went back to the jury
room for further discussion.
Sentences were given in the cases
of the three young men, Peter Ros-
Gus, James Brown and William Burke,
convicted for breaking and entering
the store of George B. Wallace at East
Ryegate about a month ago. Peter
Roscus was sentenced to the house Of
correction at Rutland for not less
than IA months or |lnore than two
years; James Brown received the
same sentence to be served at the
state prison at Windsor.
William Burke, the youngest OF the
boys, was given the same sentence
which was suspended, and the accused
put in the care of the probation Off
Ger for the minority term. He Will
be allowed to go to his home in
Bridgeport, Conn. after being in
structed in the rules of probation.
In the latter case letters were re-
Connecticut assuring the court that
this was the first offense, and that if
allowed to return home ne would be
looked after. States Attorney Norton
had no objection to leniency being
shown if the court thought best. In
,pronouncing sentence Judge Butler
stated that to pronounce sentence on
a young man just started in a bad
way was one of the courts hardest
duties He further advised the pris-
oncrs to think the matter over seri-
ously when paying the penalty the
court infiicts." He also said, You
should come out with a new resolu-
ton for the future, you can, if you
will, become men among men and
good citizens"
The divorce case Of Annie Hill VS.
Bert Hill was given a preliminary
hearing by Judge Butler. Porter, Wit
ters and Harvey represented the COM
plainant.
After Sc hours of delibcration, the
jury sitting in Caledonia county court,
on the case of DR. George w. Boil
ton, charged with performing an ille-
gal operation upon Miss Anna Gun
ders of Bridgeport, Conn, at West
Burke, on June II last, reported them
selves as unable 10 agree. They were
dismissed by Judge -Butter at eIeSsen
O'Clock Wednesday night
When the jury failed to bring in a
verdict after "a hours. many who fol-
lowed the case believed that there
would be no verdict returned. The
case excited considerable Interest in
the county and whether it will be tried
again at the June session Of County
Court is not known. If it is, James
B. Campbell will be the prosecutor in
place of States Attorney Norton whose
term expires before another term of
court.

more for agriculture, for the up
building and for the prosperity of ru-
raj New England than any other one
thing.
Each Of its speakers will set forth
