Archibald. Gov. Clement declined to
grant reprieye. stating that if the
new evidence were of a character
which warranted stay, it should be
granted by the Supreme court and not
by the executive.
Warmers crime was the killing of
his father-in-law and mother-in-law,
Mr. and Mrs. Virgins, near Chester.
There was no doubt as to the killing,

row between Warner and his wife, in

ELEVEN HOUSES
NOW Be INC BUILT
IN BENNINGTON
Will Aid in Relieving Local Con-

HIGH COST OF MATERIALS

in Near Future
HIGH COST OF MATERIALS

For some time, it has been an ex-
tremely difficult proposition in Benz
nington to get a place in which to
live. Families moving into Benning-
ton have had the greatest trouble in
getting a house owing to the congest-
ed condition of the town. During the
past two years, building materials
have reached such high prices that
people preferred not to risk building
any more than was necessary.
This summer, however, there seems
to be building boom in the village.
At present there are eleven houses
being constructed in Bennington, com
prising in all IA tenants. This is the
first time in several years that as
many houses as this have been under
construction at the same time and
it seems that in the future it will not
be so hard to get home in Benning-
ton if such progress can be continued.
Eleven houses, is, of course, drop
in the bucket when the congestion OF
the town is considered, but it is a
step in the right direction and people
should be encouraged to follow the
good example which is being set by
the present builders. Families NOV
ing into Bennington will be far more
favorably impressed with the town il
good homes are at once available in
which to start housekeeping.
Two of the houses that are being
erected at this time are under the
supervision of the Building and Loan
Association of Bennington. This as
sociation has been recently organized
and it is expected that it will do con-
siderable work along the lines of
home building in the future.
The houses that are being put up in
town now and their owners are as
follows:
Chelsea Harrington, double tene-
ment on the Corner of County and
Lyons streets.
Holden, Leonard Company three
houses on Mckinley street.
Earle w. Williams, Weeks street.
James Hogan, Washington street.
Alfred H. Winslow, Washington
street.
Edward Whitman, East Main street.
William Maynord, two houses on
Mill street extension.
Holiday Evans, Branch street.
George Elwell, on the corner OF
Bradford and Gage streets.

presence of the immediate families,
following which a wedding breakfast

The young couple were attended by
Miss Dorothy Galloway of South Cam
bridge, a sister of the bridegroom,
and Frank Snow, a brother of the
bride Miss Snow was prettily
gowned in white georgette crepe with
white picture hat and carried a bou-
quet of bride roses. Her maid was at
tired in blue silk and also carried
roset.
The bride is well known Benning-
ton girl and the bridegroom is also
acquainted in town as he has been
employed in Old Bennington the past
year, They were the recipients of
many gifts and the best wishes of a
host of friends.

number of suicides is thirty-eight per-
cent more than before it became
known that former Emperor William
was to be tried by the Allies, accord
