GETS TWO YEARS AT ATLANTA
Edward c. Flint Sentenced for VioIat-
ing Narcotics Act.

ivy iNdTIOblSS ffNl%
Windsor, June 1.-Two years at the
Federal prison at Atlanta was the SEN
tence given here today in United
States district court in,the case of Ed
ward c. Flint, charged with having in
his possession, unlawtully, opiums and
drugs secured by forged prescriptions.
The jury was out scarcely five minutes.
He was found guilty on ten counts. 1t
is believed that this sentence for the
violation of the narcotics law will have
wide spread effect in showing that the
government is determined to punish
offenders. Judge II. b. Howe presid-
ed. United States District Attorney
v. A. Billiard of Burlington prosecuted.
Mrs. Florence Flint, Edward Flints
wife, pleaded guilty to the indictment
against her and threw herself on the
mercy of the court. Her case was TAX
Ell under adysement by the court and
it is probable that she will be sent to
some institution.
Mr.. and Mrs. Flint were arrested at
Winooski on February 20 by Deputy
Collector of Internal Revenue Fred
Whittemore of Burlington, after they
had secured morphine and cocaine in
Burlington and Winooski on forged
doctors certificates. Since their ar
rest they have been in the Chittenden
county jail at Burlington, where they
have been undergoing treatment for
the drug habit They were brought
here by Deputy United States Marshal
Reeves on Wednesday.

his efforts to clear Mary of the charge
of murder, efforts which would expose

Prosperity had already laid its hand
upon Daniels-at least his clothes
made that evident. He was sprucely
dressed. and recently shaved and car

sumption Of jauntiness about him that
would have deceived almost anyone,
but Langdon's keen eyes saw the harsh
lines at the corners Of the mouth, and
the sombre anxiety Ia the restless eyes.

WILL ANNOUNCE
NAME OF PLAY LATER,

With a little whistle of surprise
Langdon dropped into his seat and
scanned the article which was an in
terview with Daniels. Its details were
non-esSential. dealing mostly with the
question Of the superstition clinging
about theatres connected in any way
with tragedy. but the main fact stood
out boldly. Daniels had secured fresh
backing and was to start again.
With the paper crumpled in his hand
Langdon stared out Of the window,
trying 10 1T this new fact into the in
trlcate puzzle that had grown out of
the death of James Pollock.
Everyone knew now that Daniels
himself had lost all he possessed and
had also lost the money Pollock had
promised him through the death of the
latter.
Who, then, was the new angel,
whose name did not appear in the
carefully worded announcement from
Daniels?
Was It not possible after all, that
Daniels had secured more money from
Pollock than anyone knew OF, and
chose this method of using II to avoid
clashing with the lawyers of PolloclS's
estate?
Was II not possible, too, that Daniels
knew far more about the tragedy than
anyone suspected? That he had turn
ed this information TO very good ac-
count financially and that there were
influential people Identified with the
under world of the city who for per
sonal or political reasons were willing
to put up large amount of money pro-
vidcd they could thereby silence the
, theatrical manager and keep him from
| revealing any more on the witness
| stand?
| Daniels, Langdon knew. was ruled
by very lax code of morals and was
not above protiting from rho suppress

In his soliloquy, when the Office boy
