NO VERMONT MURDER
IN EIGHT MONTHS
This Is Believed by officials to Be
Record for at Least Hall
Century.

BURLINGTON, April BIT was
inst eight months ago Yesterday since
homicide has been committed in the
state Of Vermont, according to the
records Of the state laboratory of hy-
aicnc.
The almost total absence of major
crimes in the state is causing much
speculation by the prosecuting officers.
The last murder in Vermont was that
Of the Hemingway girl in st. Adams
last August 1t is not long ago that
the murder record Of the state showed
an average Of one homicide a week.
The state board of health was called
on for so many autopsies that the Off
Gals could barely get around to do
their regular work.
This eight months lapse in the homi-
eide record is the longest in the mem
DRY of the oldest official and is prob
ably the record for at least more than
half a century.
Another source of qualification lies
in the fact that there is q great de
crease in the number of lesser crimes
and even drunkenness shows marked
falling off Most OF the jails in the
state at the present time are nearly
empty. There are only II inmates III

NO GROUND GLASS FOUND.
Vermont State Laboratory Has Made
Several Examinations,

BURLINGTON, April l3.-That the
ground glass scare is the result of hys-
terra is the opinion Of the officials Of
the state laboratory of hygiene, where
many samples have been examined of
food in which ground glass was report
ed TO have been found OF all the
samples examined, some silicates re-
suting from dirt getting into the food
have been found but nothing that
would lead 10 the belief that any at
tempt was being made TO poison any
body.
DR.. b. II. Stone, the director, said
that to attempt TO poison people by
putting glass in their food would be
TOO crude a way to be attempted by
anyone. The federal authorities have
/ investigated hundreds of cases where
ground glass was reported and in only
one case have they found any. This
was in st. Louis and the case was
traced down until il was found that a
discharged employee of baker put the
| glass in the bread TO get even with his
employer. The glass used on this oc
casion was very coarse.
OF the numerous samples examined
at the laboratory many have been OF
