VERMONT PosTMASTERS FINED.
They Misplaced United States Funds to
a Small Amount.

Rutland. Oct Elm United States dis.
trict court yesterday, Judge Harland B
Howe of st. Johnsbury disposed of three
criminal cases in which the respondents
were ready to plead guilty A. J. Hub
bard of Tyson was fined $50 for opening
letter not addressed to him and Sylves-
ter Smith, postmaster at Hubbardton,
was fined $50 and l.. H. Spaulding of
IBridgewater. postmaster, was taxed S25
for technical embezzlement of postoffice
funds.
The offense against the postmasters
was misplacng postoffice money. In one
case the respondent used small amount
temporarily as matter of convenience in
his mercantile business, when he pos
sessed an ample amount to make the
sum taken good, and in the other the ac-
cused merely placed the money i'll the
wrong receptacle. The shortage was very
small in Mr.. Smiths case and there was
none in the case of the Bridgewater man,
Judge Howe expressed the opinion that
there should not be law making such
a technical offense punishable by a fine.
The time in court yesterday was TAX
en- up with the testimony in the negli-
gence case against the National Metal
Box Edge company of Readsboro in which
Livio Francheschetti's administrator
seeks to recover for the death of Livio,
boy of five, by drowning, in the defend
ants canal. The plaintiff contends that
the canal was not properly guarded. The
defense claims trespass and declares that
it was not bound by law to put up a
guard rail the entire length of canal.

JLRORS f USED.
SUBJF !. TO RECALL
Defense : at on Evidence
To-ds n Assault with j.
In 5 ! to Kill Case :

Jurors not engaged in hearing the ca Sc
OF State VS.. Eusebio Albano, charged
with assault with intent to kill, were no.
titled yesterday afternoon by Judge
Frank l.. Fish that they were excused,
subject to call, and all LEFT for their re-
spective homes last night and this morn
ing. States Atty. Gleason informed the
court that only one criminal case would
be tried, the one now in progress, and as
the civil cases were completed early in
the week only chancery and divorce cases
remain to be heard. There were IL civil
cases tried during the term, which COM
menced Sept. l3, but which did not get
down to business until several days lat
er.
The state rested at 10 o'clock this fore
noon in the Albano case, four witnesses
being called by the state, Officer Harry
Gamble of Barre, Deputy Sheriff Henry
Lawson OF Montpelier, Luigi Cherut and
Charles Grace of Barre.
Officer Gamble told of making trip
to New York City several DAYS after tho
Webster avenue trouble and there he To-
Gated the respondent. 1t was on July IL
that he arrived back in Montpelier with
his prisoner. Albano returned willingly
with the officer.
Deputy lawson submitted a bundle OF
clothing which Cheruti subsequently tes-
titled as having been the outside clothing
which he had worn when Albano shot
him in the arm.
Charles Grace, the last witness to be-
put on the stand by the prosecution, re-
sides on Webster avenue and he told of
hearing two shots fired on the Sunday
m morning in question. Attracted by the
sound he hurried from his home to the
Albano house and entering by the front
door. discovered Albano prone upon the
floor, held down by Cheriti, who had AL
bano by the throat. Grace said he
pulled him to his feet, Albano being
pulled up at the same time. Cheruti
then pushed Albano through the door
into the street. The witness said that
Albano did not exhibit any signs of fight
when he arrived on the scene, in fact he
appeared too weak to put up any resist
ance to Cheruti. The revolver had dis
appeared when Grace came upon the two
men.
The counsel for the respondent had six
witnesses. including two women, sworn
before he commenced introducing evil
lence in behalf of the respondent, Albano
rot being included so that it is possible
,e may not be placed on the stand. The
ase should be completed to-day as re-
.ards the introduction of evidence.

ACCIDENT VICTIM
SUCCUMBED TO-DAY
Arthur Isabelle, Aged 10, Was Hurt at
Quarries Saturday and Seemed to
Be Making Fair Progress
to Recovery.

Arthur Isabelle, aged l6, of upper
Granitevillc died at the City hospital this
morning at 9:25 o'clock, death resulting
after injuries received in an accident al
the Boutwell,, Milne & Varnum quarries
in Graniteville Saturday afternoon. The
body was taken to the undertaking es-
tablishment of Perry g. Noonan in Depot
square and it is expected that funeral
services will be held in st. Sylvester's
church, Graniteville, either Sunday or
Monday morning. The parish priest,
Rev. Joseph Turcot, will officiate and in
terment will be made in the Catholic
cemetery on Beckley street.
Until yesterday his recove:y seemed GER
tain and physicians interested in the case
were only waiting for the flesh around a
compound fracture of the right thigh to
heal before attempting to graft a seq
ment of bone on the limb. Under favor
able circumstances it was thought that
less than a fortnight would elapse be-
fore the grating process could be start
ed
The immediate cause of the lads death
was diagnosed by the attending physi-
clan as poisoning due to the presence OF
gas bacilli
Young Isabelle, employed as steam
driller's assistant in quarry No. | at the
b. NJ. & Y. quarries, was filling pail
with dirt when the accident occurred
around $3.50 o'clock in the afternoon. The
dirt was to be used by the blast man in
tamping for blast and just as the boy
was about to carry away the pail,
block of granite weighing 1000 pounds
tipped toward him. Evidently he did not
notice the stone in time to escape and his
right leg was caught between the block
ployes hurried to his assistance and the
heavy stone was removed. After physi-
clans had visited him at the quarry he
was quickly removed to the hospital.
Examination of the stone after the ac
cident indicated that it wa1 unsettled by
the soggy condition of the turf on which
it rested. Rain fell heavily on the night
the accident and it was thought
that the action of the water was respon-
sible for the undermining of the dirt
where the stone lay.
Because of the serious nature of the
break it was at first feared that amputa
tion would be necessary, but when spe-
,ialist visited the hospital Sunday and
examined the patient he confirmed the
opinion of the attending physicians that
4 grating operation might save the limb.
Isabelle was the son of Mr.. and Mrs. |
Napoleon Isabelle. He was born in Gran |
teville April 2l, 1900, and until he en-
erred the employ of Boutwell,. Milne &
Varnum a short time ago he was pupil
n the convent OF the Holy Ghost in
1ranitevlle. He was likable lad and |
possessed qualities that made him a
prime favorite with the quarrymen. Be-
'ides his parents, he is survived by a
lister. Miss Annie Isabelle and four |

,elle. Jules Isabelle of Graniteville and

MASTERING OUT
HAS BEEN DELAYED
War Department Orders That Vermont
Troops Be Held at Fort Ethan
Allen for a Time.

Burlington, Oct. 6.--The mastering out
of the federal service OF the First Regi-
iment of infantry, Vt. National Guard,
which has been going on at Fort Ethan
Allen since September 81, has been de-
layed by orders received yesterday from
the war department, and the regiment
will probably not leave the fort before
Wednesday, October, H.. The mastering
out of the Vermont troops was to have
been begun this morning and all of the
companies were to have left the fort by
Saturday afternoon. One battalion of
the regiment must be mustered out and
sent home by Saturday afternoon in or
der to make room for /, X, i and NJ
troops of the Second United States cav
airy, which left P!sttsburg, n. Y, to.
day and will arrive at Forth Ethan AL
len on Sunday. Captain T. NJ. Diller,
L. s. A., the federal mastering out off
Ger, had not been able to so reconstruct
his schedule yesterday as to be certain
which battalion would be mustered out
first, but it is probable that the third
battalion, consisting of / company of
Brattleboro, X company of Springfield L
company of Newport and NJ company of
Burlington, will be mustered out and
sent home to-day or tomorrow morning.
The delay is caused by the decision of
the war department. that the troops must
be sent to their home stations as organ
iZations and not as individuals. Some
one in the headquarters of the depart
ment OF the east at Governors Island,
n. Y, discovered that by so doing the
war department would have to pay only
the regular transportation rate for the
men, instead of the three and one half
cents per mile, which they are allowed
for transportation to their home sta
tions, when sent there as individuals, |
and also that about $500 freight charges |
would be saved on the shipment of the |
OF the several troops. The fact |
that all of the detail work for the mus
tering out of the regiment, including the |
difficult task OF making out the regi-
mental pay roll, would have to be done |
over again was apparently not consid
cred, nor WAS the fact that the extra
time the regiment must remain at the
fort would cost the government several
Thousand of dollars for pay and sub
sistence. The men will also get an ex-
lld week pay lipiH Tue stdle, tHis
amounting to approximately 1888 per
lay for the entire regiment, so that this
attempt to save a penny on transporta-
ton will cost considerably more than a
lound, before everything is ended.
A regimental review in honor of Gov.
Charles w. Gates. who motored to Fort
Ethan Allen from Montpelier, was held
It A o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
governor was provided with mount and
accompanied Colonel Reeves, when the
officer made his tour of the
cgiment, after which the troops passed
n review before his excellency, who com
nented most fayorab bly, upon their splen-
id appearance The review was also
witnessed by number of automobile |,
