viously given exhibitions in Charlotte

FOOTE ON TRIAL
FOR SHORT FISH
Fish and Game League Pro-
moter Fights Charge
Jury Disagrees and Re-Trial Of Case Is
Scheduled for Tomorrow Morning

one OF the most remarkable fish stor.
les that has enlivened the records of
Municipal Court in a long time was fur.
niShed during the past week by the trial
last Saturday night Of Norman S. Foote,
organizer and former president of the
Addison County Fish and Game
League, on the charge Of having had in
his possession at Ripton last week a
package containing eleven trout under
the legal limit Of six inches in length.
OF the innumerable cases of similar
nature that have been brought to court
in the past eight years that County
Fish and Game Warden George H.
Chaifee has been vigorously prosecuting
offenders against the fish and game
laws, none has attracted so much inter
est as that against Foote, owing both
to the fact OF his prominence in fish and
game circles and to the manner in which
he fought the allegations that Warden
Chaiiec brought against him, intimating
that his arrest was a "frame.up".
Upon petition Of friends of Foote, the
trial was held in the large room at the
County Court House, where the seats
were filled with spectators whose inter
est, Notwithstanding the uncomfortable
hot weather, was held tense by the pro.
ceedings,
States Attorney Allen R. Sturtevant
prosecuted the case, while Foote was
defended by his friend Attorney B. l.
Stickney of Rutland, former fish and
game warden Of that county. The Jury
that was called was composed of Ed
ward Reed, NJ, A. Johnson, c. L. Fiske,
Henry Narcotics, Paul Field, c. r. Brit
tell. l.. B, Whitman, L. L. Cowles. A.
j. Boise, George Sheldon, A. D. Beach
and +. B. Nelson.
Mr. Sturtevant in examining the iur
ors found that Mr.. Fiske and Mr.. Boise
had some feeling with respect to the
FISH and game laws that would preju
dice them in the trial of the case and
the court excluded these two men from
the box BY agreement the case pro-
ceeded with eleven jurors,
Warden Chafiee was called as first
witness for the prosecution. He placed
the scene OF Foote's arrest as two miles
north of Dan Bent's mill in Ripton and
the time as about half-past ten in the
forenoon, last week Thursday.
"Tell," said Mr.. Sturtevant. what
ensued and what took
place after you first saw Mr.. Foote."
