day in the case of John Long accused
of the murder of Mrs. Lucina Broad
well in Barre May Harold Jack
son, who discovered the body of Of
ficer Allen Curtis, who was called to
the scene by Jackson, were the first
two witnesses. Harry Gamble, sec
ond officer to reach the spot. where
the body was found, also testified.
Much of the officers evidence had to
do as to the route that person might
take from the Parker house to the
pace where the corpse lay.

over night at the Hotel BuzzGI, get
ting up about 7:15 a. m Sunday and
going to the Wheelock garden. He
took this route on his way to Main
street because ii is shorter On his
way he saw what looked like a body.
He called Officer Allen Curtis and
found the body of woman devoid of
clothing except shoes, stockings and
gloves
Officer Curtis corroborated Jack
sons story as 1t related to him. He
did not know whether the woman's
clothes had been moved away. He ad.
mitted in cross examination that there

Almost the entire afternoon was u.s.
ed by the testimony of Harry Gamble
the police officer, VINO was second at
the place where the body was found.
HIS testimony had to do largely with
the locations of lights to show that
Keith avenue was better lighted than
the other streets. The State asked
MN to show the route that a person
would be likely to travel going from
the Parker house TO the Wheelock
garden if they did not want to go
the prominent streets in the city.

Vermont's Tourist Trade.
(Swanton Courier ,

Though Vermont has not developed
her summer tourist business in such a
grand or spectacular manner as has the
sister state, New Hampshire, neverthe-
less it has gradually increased on a
stable and permanent basis, until this
year it is reported to be better than
ever.
Locally reports have come to us from
nearby resorts that they are securing
capacity business, the summer hotels
often being taxed to their capacities
with eager waiting lists.
What applies to this immediate vicin-
ty of northern Lake Champlain, ap-
plies as well to the whole state. We
learn from Mr.. w. H. Crockett, who
has been devoting considerable time
and energy to the publicity of the
state, that he has made a systematic
attempt to determine just what sort
of patronage Vermont resorts were en-
loying this season and that he finds
he business to be good. He wrote let
'ers of inquiry to the various summer
places asking for report on the condi-
ton of this season s patronage Mr.
Crockett states that in all the replies
who said that his summer business was
not better than last season. The result
of Mr.. Crockett's search for informa
ton is proof absolute, with only one
| isolated ease reporting adversely, that
Vermont s business is on the increase
f reports showed goodly percentage
reporting poor business, one might be
led to believe that some hotels were
losing trade to the gain of others, and
would indicate that there was no sub
stantial increase in the gross amount
of business done.
Though Vermont has been slow, and
has had to face handicaps in promoting
he summer tourist trade the state
seems now in fair way to increased
popularity as a resort for summer recre
alton.
There is no doubt that the Vermont
| publicity bureau has played and is
| playing its important mission as an ad,
vertising agent for Vermont s summer
| charms.
