Long Gets Life Imprisonment.

One OF the most protracted muir
der trials IN the history of the state
was closed last week in Washington
county court when Geo. A. Long was
found guilty of murder in the second
degree IN the death of Mrs. Lucina G.
Broadwel in Barre on the night of
May 81. The jury was out "a hours
and the case had been on trial about
three weeks. Life Imprisonment is
the penalty fixed by law where there
is conviction of murder in the sec
ond degree
Long admits his name is Wroth.
and detectives allege he has a check
cred career leading to many New En-
gland places. There is no secret about
the Washington county jail that the
authorities there will be glad to get
Long off their hands. 1t is said that
Long has not been particularly
good prisoner since the time last
summer when revolver was found
IN the bedding of his quarters, to-
gether with other articles which
would have figured a possible at
tempt to escape from the institution.
The crime of which Long stands
convicted was the killing of Mrs Lu-
Gina c. Broadwell by strangulation.
The body was found at daylight the
u Il 1t. was
except for shoes, stocking and gloves.
The hands were tied behind the back
by parts of the woman's own gar
ments, while about her neck was an
other piece of her garments together
with a mans handkerchief This
handkerchief bore a laundry mark
which the state showed in testimony
was the mark of Eddie Barron, a
transient in Barre; and when Barron
was put on the stand he testified that
he had given Long a handkerchief at
some time prior to Feb. II. This
handkerchief formed a strong link in
the chain of evidence
Longs arrest was made on May Is
at the same time Mrs Parker was ar
rested Mrs Parker is in county jail
awaiting trial on the charge of MUIR
der in connection with the death of
Mrs. Broadwell. Mrs. Broadwell was
% years of age and the mother OF
three children, who have been placed
in institutions since the death of their
mother.

friends who gathered to mourn for

play testified to the honor and esteem
in which he was held by those who
knew him. They also spoke silent
words of love and sympathy for those
who were dear to him.
The Rev. Milo S. Eddy of the Meth
odist church of which he was a men,
Der spoke words of comfort to the

Of AU Kinds

Fur garments wanted for sale in the
next few weeks are being ordered by
jobbers for immediate delivery, while
the larger retailers are daily coming
to New York to purchase merchandise
to be delivered later for their annual
August sales.
Throughout the fur industry business
is reported to be better than ever, with
purchases of summer furs being made
IN larger quantities than for several
years past. All classes of skins adapt-
able TO the lighter weight garments
are wanted, with the demand continu-
ing to favor the more expensive pelts.
1he one or two animal scarf is the
leader IN the style feature, though in
some sections of the country big de-
mand has been developed for coatees.
fuf poas also have held the fancy of
buyers Styles for next fall and win
Ter nave not reached the stage of def
lnlteness, but many manufacturers are
working on their sample lines for that

NO adjustment has been made in the
strike of the fur dyers and dressers.
and there are indications that the labor

may become more general The floor
workers, who recently were granted a

Leather
Buying OF Hides for Ex-
port Increases Despite
European Emborg0es

While the strike of maritime work
crs at Bucnos Ayres curtailed ship
mcnts of hides and skins to this
country for Il number of weeks, i'm
portcrs report that these commodities
have been regularly received from 9TH
or South American ports III quantities
sufficient to keep the market active.
During the last few days more interest
in hides has been shown. and this is
said to be the result Of tho settlement
of the Buenos Ayres strike and the
need of immediate rcplcnishments of
stock by some concerns.
During the last week, importers
say, peculiar situation has developed
due to the New York harbor trik. Buy
crs have bid fc and &c pound under
former prices, and succeeded in
obtaining supplies in scattering
lots. On the whole importers would
not reduce their prices and in
some cases held their hides for an
advance, with the increased export de-
mand in mind. Each day the buying
for export in this country has been
increasing, especially since the lifting
of the hide and leather import en-,
bargoes by some of the European coun-
tries.
Tanners Of sole leather report n
lively demand from the findings trade
and more optomsm ia expressed re-
garding the future Of the footwear
business.

OF Government Wool

PHILADELPHIA, March Bidding
dragged at the final day of the gov
ernment's wool auction here, manu-
facturers and dealers showing little in
tcrest in the offerings except when good
grades were placed on sale. Lack of
business by carpet mills, high prices
asked and the low grade of much Of
the stock offered were given as causes.
The fact that the British government
has reduced it's price for wool 1712
per cent was also given by some who
attended the auction as one of the
causes for light sales.
There were 1Sl lots offered, compris-
ing about 100000 pounds of greasy
carpet wool and $4,000 pounds Of
secured carpet wool. Withdrawals were
heavy, amounting to l09 lots, totaling
2,456,S00 pounds and representing 81
per cont of the offerings.
The largest buyer took 1,243, 800
pounds. Another large buyer obtained
2S0,S00 pounds. Two buyers took a
total of 1929 pounds of white shining
combing China of 39 per cent shrink
age at So cents in the grease. Another
bought 47,507 pounds Of the same kind
