attorney for Mrs. Deyette nthe doubl,

court.
"Yes, most certainly do responded
! the witness.
He then modified his testimony to the
effect that he thought she wanted to hurt
him, instead of to kill him.
DIR. B. A. Bombard was put on by the
attorneys for Mr.. Deyette to testify as
to his examination of certain black and
blue marks found on the body of little
Eugene, the Deyette child, over whom
all the trouble Is about.
DIR. lombard said he was called in Jan
uary and July of this year by Mr.. De-
yette to inspect the marks and bruises
on the child, which were alleged to be
there.
1t was intimated by counsel for the
husband and father of the child that the
marks were made by the little girls

testified that he found marks on the
hips, on his visit in January, and marks
on the back on the second trip in July.
He admitted on cross examination, that
the marks might have been made by
falls.
Eugene Luck, member of the board
of aldermen, who occupied camp at
MalIetts Bay adjacent to that of the
Deyetts in the fall of 1910, just before

GEN. ". C. GORCAS
PLEASED WITH CAMP
Inspected Conditions at Fort Ethan Al
len, Ate with Men and Viewed the
Camn Eauipment Minutely.

Burlington, Aug 3.-General William

French army, Major C. L. Furbush, medi
cal corps, L. S. A. and Major w. ii
Welch, medical corps, L. S. A., OF Johns
Hopkins university, inspected the camp
at Fort Ethan Allen yesterday and the
eminent surgeon and officer expressed
himself as highly satisfied with the gen
era appearance and sanitary condition
of everything connected with IL. This
statement coming from one of the high
est officials of the United States army,
from a person who has made it his life
work to study camp conditions, is priced
by the officers at Fort Ethan Allen and
is considered to be praise of the highest
order for Vermont troops and Vermont
headquarters.
The sight of major general of the
United States army, the highest medical
officer In America, man to whom the
world owes the fact of the greatest en-
gineering feat in history being made pos.
sible through his skill in freeing Panama
from yellow fever, wounded in action in
Europe, eating their dinner out of pri-
vate soldiers tin mess kit, is not oft
en- seen.
General Gorgas, surgeon general OF the
United States army, and Colonel Devecle
of the French army, however, could not
see anything but being with the boys
yesterday while they were inspecting
Fort Ethan Allen and so the luncheon
which had been prepared for them and
their companions never came out of the
kitchen and instead the general, who is
SO years old, sat down at the rough
wooden tables of the mess shack of the
medical corps and handed over his tin
plate and cup like the privates gathered
around him The cooks hadn't prepared
for such distinguished guests, but the
general and his party did full justice to
the roast beef, potatoes, beans and cof
fee and voted the dinner the best ever.
The general was very particular in his
inspection of the camp, in many cases
going into the tents of the men and even
examining the bedding. The mounts of
the cavalry came in for a minute exami- |
nation. The party also visited the post
hospital Especial attention was paid to
the sanitary condition of the headquar-
tiers for the sick. |
Major General Gorgas stated that the
sanitary condition of the hospital, kitch-
ems, sleeping headquarters, and recreation
for the soldiers was of the
highest order and ranked faorably with
other camps throughout the country.
