THINKS SENTENCE
NOT JUSTIFIED
R. s. Childs Thinks Penalty in Boyd
Case Does Not Come Within Judicial
Custom of the Past.

Editor of The Reformer:
In the light of many plainly recalled
local disturbances Of the peace for which
no measure of punishment from those in
authority was meted out, it occurs to a
great many good citizens of the town and
county that the sentence imposed on
Harry NJ. Boyd was hardly justified by
past judicial custom. Mr.. Boyd comes
from most estimable family; but unfor-
tunately has been indiscreet (hke many
others within the borders of the Con
nectlcut valley, without having committed
serious crime. Several past midnight
orgies are recalled where the offenders in
these wild revelries were not even ques-
toned as to their dissolute conduct. Jus
tlce and fairness are inseparably connect
cd; but many who are chosen to dispense
the article called justice too often forget
the direction in which they are going.

Here is little more of interest con
corning yesterdays s hike. 1t would
have done the people of BrattIeboro
good to have seen them for they were
wet and covered with sand up to the
armpits, having crossed a river on the
way back. For all that they were a
happy bunch, singing and laughing as
they marched.
Twelve more recruits arrived in camp
last night from all over the state where
recruiting stations have been opened
More are expected every day.
This morning after drill the BOYS
formed a circle and held a mock court
martial, sentencing three prisoners to
run a 200foot gauntlet. After we had
formed in double file they started, and
maybe they didn t get it. Then we all
took chance, including sergeants, un-
til we all had taken our medicine. -
The Battle Cry of Peace, that great
photoplay which is being shown at the
Strong theatre four days, was the
cause of parade, composed of the 1St
Vermont Infantry band followed by p
of the Infantry boys, who were fol
lowed by the same number of regulars
from the post. Ihey were applauded
all along the line of march. Arriving
at the Strong theatre concert was
given, lasting for half hour, after
which they were the guests of the man
agement. Captain Hylaud was in com
mand with Lieut.. Sheldon as second in

tce which lasted couple of hours.
