were taken in charge by representatives
of tn Amrican Red Cross.
The passengers agreed that 36 shots
were fired at the Stephano before she
was torpedoed and sunk Mrs. Charles
w. Bostwck of Hudson. y. Y, who was
returning from Nova Scotia, said eight
minutes elapsed between the submarine S
first and second shots, then the captain
ordered everybody to take to the life
boats. She said the officers did every
thing to help the passengers.
eve women and children were particu-
larly frightened over the prospect of
going down over the side of the steam
cr into The lifeboats,' Mrs Bostwck
said "as we had only 5 minutes to get
off the ship.
The submarine went up to within 800
yards of the Stephano and fired a tor
pedo into her, her last torpedo, as one
of the submarines officers told one of the
Balch's officers later by signalling.
The most thrilling sight of all was
when the Kingstonian was torpedoed and
sent to the bottom. We saw that verv
plainly, for when the submarine had
trouble in sinking the Stephano they
turned their attention to the Kingstoni-
an, and as it was still light we saw her
hit. She crumpled up and went down
like a stone"

Supreme Court.

In Washington county court this morn
ing Judge +. J.. Fish sentenced Eusebc
Albano of Barre, who was convicted last
week Of assault with intent to kill Luigi
Chernti, to spend not less than six years
and not more than ten years in the state
prison at Windsor. The case will be TAX
en- to supreme court on exceptions, and
Albano viii be out on $1,000 bail pending
the outcome.
j. Ward Carver. counsel for the respon-
dent, pleaded for lcniency because of the
circumstances existing in the case. going
into detail to show that Albano for two
years had been separated from his wife
and family because of the complaining
witness and boarder, Cheruti. Repeated
efforts had been made asserted counsel,
to have Cherut leave the Albano home,
hut without avail, and two years of
brooding and humiliation had resulted in
.Albano's act, the respondent using more
force than the law allows.
The states attorney did not make any
specific recommendation as to the length
of sentence but believed it would be held
up as an example as to what man
could not do in such case.

said that the reports of all his officers
agreed that to the best of their observa-
tion one raider only was concerned. This
boat presumably was the German U-53,
which called at Newport Saturday att
ernoon to mail a letter to Ambassador
Bernstorff. and then put to sea without
taking on an ounce of supplies, although
She was II days from her base, according
to the statement of her officers.
Admiral Gleaves said he could easily
understand the positive statement of the
captain OF the Nantucket lightship and
of sailors OF the torpedoed vessels that
more than one submersible was con
cerned The Uboat he said, was very
fast and appeared to have been handled
cIeverly. 1t was easy, he pointed out, for
her to disappear on one side of ship
and then show up unexpectedly at anoth-
er spot Doubtless, he believed, she had
submerged and reappeared often enough
to mislead any but keen professional
observer and to create the impression
that more than one sea terror was OPP
Grating. This opinion would seem to be
borne out by the statements OF many
Of the refugees that the submarine had
more business on hand than .shc could
take care of at once and was obliged TO
request one steamer to wait her turn
