HAROLD MACkLEY.
GETS Fifteen YEARS
Holland Man to Serve Time In
Atlanta Penitentiary for
Disloyalty.

'Fhe trial Of Harold Mackley, a former
employe Of a creamery In Holland. was
continued Thursday morning with the
testimony Of Eugene Gray, the last wit
ness. At the conclusion of Mr.. Gray's
testimony, the arguments of the Attorneys
Billiard and White were begun and then
the case went to the jury at 1890 o'clock
1t then took the jury 40 minutes to decide
that Mackley was guilty of all that the
government charged against him under
the espionage act.
Gray was on the stand only few
minutes. He was used in part to SUBJ
stantiate what Mackley said the day be-
fore In his own defence. Gray was the
man who went Mackley's bail when he
was first arrested and afterwards relin-
pushed him.
MacMey maintained an attitude of in
difference throughout the trial
In pronouncing sentence Judge Howe
s1'a:
THE SENTENCE.
THE defendant Ia a native born person
OF German descent. He has not only OBJ
structed the enlistment service of the
government, but has attempted to create
disloyalty and refusal of duty in our mill
tary forces. The evidence In the case is
clear and convincing that he has more
regard and love for the German Empire
than he has for this country. He is of
draft age. and registered for military duty
on June in accordance with the Presi-
dents proclamation. On various occasions
after this time, he said. among other
things, that II he was forced into the
army. he would never shoot a German
soldier. but would shoot several American
soldiers In the back; that If every German
did his duty In that way. the Germans
would win the war: that this nation has
no business in the war, and deserves to be
beaten. Severe punishment is the only
suitable sentence for the court to impose
upon such a counterfeit citizen.
Therefore. the defendant is sentenced to
serve a term of fifteen years in the federal
penitentiary at Atlanta. Georgia, and
stands committed until sentence is com.

BRADSTREET'S VERMONT
WEEKLY TRADE REPORT

Bradstreets Burlington Office reports
the granite trade is more hopeful about
making shipments. During the last 10
days embargoes have been lifted and
while there is marked shortage of cars
the situation is much improved and grow
ing better. This line of industry is badly
congested with finished work on hand.
Orders are coming in well but labor Is
scarce. The delayed shipments are fur
Their affecting receipts and money Is
short in that line
Marble manufacturers are still having
difficulties as well as slate manufacturers
in making shipments to western points.
New business among the marble manu-
facturers is coming In slowly.
Slate is in GOOD demand for electrical
purposes, but for roofing and interior
finish it is quiet.
Seasonable weather has brought with
II considerable business among the CLOTH
ing trade, and millinery has moved fairly

More than usual interest Is centcred
about the maple sugar crops this year.
Some work has been done in the orchards
of a preparatory nature in spite or the
depth of snow. Top prices, the highest
on record have been put on the small
early receipts of sugar and syrup In
one section merchants are asking 45 cents
a pound for cake sugar and s25O gallon
for syrup. While there were Il rev days
suitable for sap to run. the season mas
not fully opened.
Creameries are having more than their
usual amount of difficulties this season
on account of price conditions. put IL Is
expected this will straighten out.
The experiment and volume OF WORK

of these new companies have started

Dor. The following quotation is
from the report Of the commissioner
relating to the insect suppression
work:
Scouting work carried on shows
that the State is practically free from
the browntail moth. In. 1918 the
eastern border Of the State was
badly infested. In 1914 the in
festation reached its greatest
heights and several men were EN-.
ployed during the winter to cut OF
and burn all the nests which could
be found in the infested areas. The
total expenditure for this work was
s5,2O3.18. In 1915 an expenditure Of
about half this sum was sufiicient ia
clean the infested areas and the cost
has decreased every year since. We
may expect a further infestation
however, from Massachusetts, and
New Hampshire II weather condi-
lions are favorable during the pc.
Rod when the insect is In the flying
state. Indications point to a very
slight infestation Of the tent caterpil.
lar next season. This Is encourag'
ing because this insect has done
great damage to fruit trees for sew
eral seasons"
