The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1919-10-13

Photographs of the mystery automo-
bile were presented to-day in Washing
ton county court in connection with the
trial of George A. Long, who is charged
with the murder of Mrs. Lucina C.
Broadwell in Barre on the night of May
3-4, 1919, the trial having been resumed
this morning on the recovery of Juror
John L, Baird of Waitsfeld, who was
taken suddenly i'll last Saturday morn
ing, necessitating recess until this
morning
just what part this mystery auto
mobile" will play in the testimony was
not revealed in the testimony this morn
ing, inasmuch as the presentation of this
part of the states case was in photo
graphs. These photographs showed a
small Metz car at various angles. In the
preliminary Investigations, this automo-
bile figured largely, as it was claimed the
car was seen near the Parker residence
on South Main street in Barre the night
of May 3.
Juror Baird seemed all right to-day,

given medicine in hot water. Juror Camp
bell seems 70 have recovered from his
toothaehe. The jurymen passed Sunday
as comfortably as possible, including
| walking about town and having music in
their rooms in the courthouse during the
day. In the evening they sang TO some
extent
This morning Long showed more inter
est in the trial than he has at any time
thus far. As fast as the state finished
the picture testimony, these were passed
to his attorneys so he could look them
| over. As far as any mental disturbance
could be seen, there was no outward sign
when Long looked at the pictures of
Mrs Broadwell taken as she lay face
| down on the ground, either when partly
covered with clothing or nude. Long
chatted jovially with his counsel about
some different matters. During each re-
cess he is secluded with his attorneys,
although when he leaves their presence
he is always looked after by sheriff
There were fewer spectators to-day.
| Friday nearly three quarters of them
were women. To-day for the first time
the number of men present was in the
majority The testimony was slow, so
| that several about the court room were
seen to be doing off towards sleep.
Glenn Il. Perry, undertaken, on exami-
nation by Attorney General Archibald,
was first on the stand to-day. He iden-
! titled a photograph taken in his under
taking rooms of the dead woman as that
of Mrs. Broadwell.

he described the body as it lay in the
Wheelock garden A dark -colored gar
ment covered the remains He was asked

the garments and placed them on the
woman's legs.

extended, with legs crossed. Her arms
were crossed and fastened together by
garments-some part of the wearing APP
parel, he could not tell what part. He
| thought it was an undergarment. A
| handkerchief and some other wearing ap-
parel were tied about the neck. They
were removed at the rooms by Drs. Stone
and Whitney Did not know the nature
of the wearing apparel.
Witness had known Mrs. Broadwell
| two years, but did not recognize the body
as Mrs. Broadwell's until half hour aft
| er it reached the undertaking rooms.

identify the body. The clothing was
placed in the same room with the re-
mains for safe keeping
| He placed the garments in the box and
! turned it over to the doctors. The hand
| kerchief was left out. Mr.. Davis took

"a pocketbook, which was between the
body and Keith avenue. He did not take
them Asked in relation to garden

only the wearing apparel to the doctors.

narily termed pearl buttons, were put in
bundle and deposited in the box. The
buttons were lying loose on the ground
