woMAN'S FOOT BROKEN.
Mrs. Eva Clogston Injured in Printing
Press at Montpelier.

Mrs. Eva Garten Clogston, who has
been employed in the Capital City Press
in Montpelier for several months, while
feeding one of the pony presses a little
after 5 o'clock Monday afternoon re-
ceiyed bad injury to her left foot which
will detain her from work for some
weeks. 1t is thought that wanting to
rest herself by changing positions, she
placed her foot on part of the base of
the machine, and when the impression
lock came up, it caught the toes, pinching
the foot back to the instep. The ma
chinery cleared about an inch at that
place so that she received an ugly wound
badly lacerating the flesh and breaking
nearly every bone in the top of the
foot. The sole of the foot seemed to
be intact.
She was taken to DR.. w. R. Hark-
ness Office, where the wound was dressed
after which she was carried to her home.
To-day she was as comfortable as can
be expected. 1t is expected she will re-
cover the use of the foot but that the
injury will interfere with her walking to
some extent.
Her child was the first one to have
suffered infantile paralysis in Montpel-
Ter.

the case will go to the jury this after

by the two sides gathering up the loose
threads in the case and calling and re-
calling the same witnesses to secure

Mrs. Kenerson soon after her arrest that
Mrs Hicks had confessed and that Mrs
kenerson said in reply.

He also denied that after his visits

Mrs. Kenerson was arrested and that
Mrs. Kenerson was brought to her cell.
Within half an hour Sheriff Worthen
told her, the witness said, that Mrs.
Hicks had confessed and that Mrs. Ken
erson said, "Tll bet the child is alive"
and the sheriff replied, "if you want to,
go home and find the child"
Several times, the witness said, the
sheriff took Mrs. Kenerson to another
part of the Jail and when they came
back Mrs. Kenerson was crying. The
attempt of the attorney general to show
that the Basaw' girl was in Jail, charged
with adultery, was excluded by the |
court on the ground that there was no
conviction.
Attorney Alexander Dunnett gave tes-
timony to the effect that the child might |
have stumbled on a hillock about foot
from the spot where the dead body lay.
States Attorney Campbell in his
opening argument emphasized the fact
hat the respondent never said in her
confession that she was innocent, but
always told the same story as to her
,art in the killing of the child and the
hiding of the body. He said that she

LATTER MOVES FORCES
TO MEET KORNILOFF
The Situation in Russia Has
Taken on a Very Serious
Aspect Following Korni-
lofts Ultimatum to the
Government Civil War
Now Seems to Be Immi-
nent

Petrograd, Sept. ll.-According to re
ports at the Winter Palace where tn
government council was in sessio,
throughout yesterday, a considerable
force of supporters of General Kornilof
already have passed Luga on the wa,
to Petrograd. The government refuses
to make statement but the foreign
minister informed the Associated Pres;
sist of only few hundred men. The
town and the railroad station at Luga
are in Korniloff's hands.
BY order of Kerensky, the railroad
track between Luga and Petrograd has
been torn up in places, gangs engaged
in the work all night. The government
last night made repeated efforts to in
duce General Alexieff, the former COM
mander in-chief, to take command
against Korniloff, but met with refusal.
Members of the government state
there is no prospect whatever of Kornil-
off submitting.
Premier Kerensky is having difficulties
within the capital with the extremists

of Kornilof. The whole Russian cabinet
has resigned in order to give Kernesky
full liberty of action. All the minis
ters for the time being will remain in
their offices.
In conversations with the Associated
Press to-day the leaders of the Petro-
grad council of deputies declared the
provisional governments trump card
was that the railroad employees were en-
tirely on its side and that the obduracy
of Korniloff would result in a general
strike, depriving Kornilof of all supplies
and of imposing his will on the rest of
Russia
Kornilof has issued an order to his
army to take Petrograd and manifesto
to his army declares that the provisional
government with Kerensky at the head
has shown itself incapable to cope with
the situation Korniloff has ordered his
troops TO detrain at the railroad station
at Dno and march on and besiege Petro-
grad. The government infantry still is |
moving out of the capital to oppose the
korniloff forces.
Alexander j. Guchkoff, the October
ist leader, who formerly held the posi- |
tions of president of the Duma, chief
of the munitions bureau and minister of |
war and navy ad interim, has gone over
to Korniloff Guchkoff left Petrograd
Saturday for the Russian field headquar-

General Denikine, commander of the
Russian armies on the southwestern
front, has telegraphed Kerensky that he
intends to support Korniloff.
