Fred Eaton, photographer, was the

He testified to taking pictures of vari-
Gus streets in Barre and the lot where
Mrs Broadwells body was found, also
to photographing the body as it lay
where found. Photos Of Keith Avenue
taken by him were also identified by
the witness. II was evident from the
nature of the cross examination that the
defense Will endeavor to eliminate from
the case the Metz automobile which has
been mentioned in connection with the
alleged acts of Long.
Long looked over the pictures after
they had been admitted as evidence and
apparently those which had to do with
Mrs. BroadwelIs body had no disturbing
effect on his mind. for he inspected them
as one would who was not interested
in the case. Long is beginning to show
more interest in the trial. Sunday he
would not attend the service conducted
by the Salvation Army because he claimed
that while he believed in churches he
had little use for those who would not
live up to what they preached. 1t APP

He had been employed at different

he recognized the man by the fact that
the hanging was done with belt lacings
which Mr.. Smith always carried in his
pockets.
Mr.. Frazer had been hunting for squr-
rcls and thought he heard one in a beech
tree. Suddenly his attention was attrac-

TO SPEND $45O.OOO ON
POWER HOUSE AND DAM
Vermont HydrO-Electric Co. begins
Operations on Large scale

Rutland, Oct. 13.-Following the grant
ing of the petition by the Vermont Pub
lie Service Commission to consolidate the
Colonial Power company. the Claremont
Power g. Light Co, the Western Vermont
Power Light Co. and the Clarendon
Power company under the name of the
Vermont Hydro-electric company. excava-
tons were begun Saturday to construct
II power house and dam on East creek
two miles north of this city at a cost of
Si5O.0OO
The product of this power house is to
be something over 100000 kilowatt hours
a year.
The dam will be one Of the largest in
Vermont. 1t will have a cement core with
dirt front and back. 1t will be "a feet
above the water level, $50 feet long across
the stream. with wing dam or retaining
wall OF cement running upstream 800
feet. The cement core wall will go IL
feet below the surface of the ground
The trench in which the cement will be
placed will therefore be II feet deep,
practically u feet wide and 1,40O feet
long. The excavating will all be done
this fall and winter and the concrete
put In as soon rs the weather permits
in the spring.
The concrete wall of the dam will be
approximately 80 feet high. In order TO
get the dirt, $1,000 cubic yards being re-
auired for the filling front and back, the
workmen will go into the bank above.
1t is proposed instead Of hauling this dirt
by teams TO get it by the sluicing process.
BY this method, high pressure stream
of about four inches OF water will be
shot into the bank and the dirt come
down in sideways in solution.
The 5000 feet between the dam and the
power house will be connected with
pipe line OF six-foot diameter made OF
Douglas fir from the State OF Washing
ton, the slaves already being on the way.
There is a fall OF practically 100 feet be-
tween the dam and the power station.
The machinery bought to do the work
cost $4,000.
