down and pray with everyone OF the
boys he could get to before they
died. He was always I'm the front

out and lined the Company up, after
the drive. he came up and looked
them over: there were 200 or more
missing. He just began to weep and
could not say word for a long time.
A lot OF the boys have come back
that were not hurt bad They keep
coming In every day. Well mother,

Later: Just from the front line

or so. That is l am going back to

rather be In the front line than back

blown In After the boys land the
officers, as well) are on the firing
line they are different boys than they
were when they came over here. IL
looks now like the Boche had about
enough Of 1t. We are hoping so, for
we don't like to kill all of them, but
II seems the only way. We got four
women In the last drive. The Boche
thought we were English dressed In
u. s. clothes, but when we went over
the top they found out what we were.
The winter wheat Is up about two

Missionaries Tell Need
For Aid I'm Far
East

The three day Golden Jubilee of
the New England branch of the
Woman's Foreign Missionary society
opened last evening in Grace Metho-
dist church, st. Johnsbury, and was
attended by large list of delegates
from all parts of New ENGLAND Six
foreign missionaries are present.
They are Mrs. Lois Parker of St
Johnsbury, who has been so years
in India, Miss Emily l.. Harvey, VINO
served 35 years in India as a mission
cry; Miss Emina Knowles, 30 years
in China, Miss Gertrude Gilman, 2j
years in China, Miss Ella Glover, 27
years in China, Miss Eleanor M.
Chalmers, years in India.
These wonderful women who have
seen so much of the other side of the
world and who have accomplished so
much for christianity are the cent ter
of interest at the convention. They
are mingling with the delegates and
giving them the inspiration of their
q eat service in foreign fields.
Miss Harvey gave the principal
address at last nights opening ses-
sion. She was located at Kampi,
India. She says that India is beg
ging for education and christianity.
After one of the most terrible FAM
ines the country has ever known
there came the epidemic of influenza
two years ago which took six mil .ioh
lives. In spite of this the natives did
a wonderful war service and in Miss
Harvey's opinion they saved tire
cause for the allies.
Over 100000 natives of India
went into war service going to every
one of the battle fronts. India tore
up it railroads and sent the rolling
stock to the war fronts; they fitted
out ambulance divisions, furnished
cloth and clothing and the native Ra-
iahs gave millions of heir wealth for
the cause of the Allies Theg-sent
their food supplies in spite OF the
fact that they had little to spare.
Miss Harvey says the christian ma
tives are pleading for education.
There are 10000 boys and girls in her
former mission district who are
without schools and there are fully

Justice George M. Powers called
on the prisoner to stand up and when
asked if he had anything to say, Kel-
sey, shaking like man with palsy,
replied: II don't know as have"
Kelsey was so nervous he had to be
assisted to his feet. He was then SEN
fenced to die in Windsor prison. Up
to within 80 days of his execution he
will be confined at hard labor and
thereafter until the time of execution
in solitary confinement.
Sheriff Everett Hill went to Mont
pelier Monday taking with him Bert
Kelsey, who has been held in the
Newport Jail. Mr.. Hills mission was
to hear the report of the
Supreme Court at the state
capital on the motion for
new trial made by Judge Walter
Cleary, Kelsey's attorney, following
ing the rendering of verdict of mur-
der in the first degree by the jury
that tried the case last March, and it
was necessary to take Kelsey with
him.
The Kelsey case attracted consider
able attention in this territory and
everyone in the city is more or less
interested in the final result. Kelsey
is now under sentence to be electro
cuted next December.
Kelsey and Allen worked together
in the mill at Orleans. Allen was a
heavy drinking naRsandwwouldsq
often go to any limit to obtain liquor.
He was quite an inoffensive sort of
person, however, and had never been
known to trouble any of his fellow
men.
Learning that Allen always carried
a considerable sum of money with
him at all times Kelsey Immediately
began to plan on scheme for getting
this money away from him. Kelsey
lured Allen to his fate with promise
of whiskey. The latter was to meet
Kelsey late in the evening in the mill
yards and Kelsey was to bring with
him a certain amount of liquor which
Allen had offered to purchase. The
two men met according to agreement
and proceeded into the rear of the mill
yards where the whiskey was sup
posed to have been hidden by Kelsey.
AS the men walked between two lum-
ber piles, Kelsey picked up an iron
rod which he had laid near stack of
lumber and struck Allen over the
head and as the latter sank into a
heap on the ground Kelsey struck
him three times more. Kelsey, how
ever, became frightened and ran away
without attempting to rob his victim
as he had planned
When arrested Kelsey told story
duplicating another man in the dast-
ardly deed. However, his story was
proven to be false. He was given a
stiff "third degree" test by the detec-
tive in the case but it was impossible
to shake him from his original story
until the detective brought his mother
into the case. The officer "played"
on this one point and it proved to be
kelsey's weak spot because he broke
down shortly afterward and admitted
that he was alone in the crime.
Kelsey was given trial last March
and was found guilty by jury of
murder in the first degree. Although
it was proven that the murder itself
was not premeditated, it was shown
that the robbery was planned and be-
cause the murder resulted from the
attempted robbery there was no ,ver-
dict but first degree murder that

could be arrived at by Che jury.
Harry Black had been appointed by
the court to represent Kelsey at his
trial but because of his election as
secretary of state, Judge Walter
Cleary was appointed in his place.
Judge Cleary took exceptions after
the verdict had been reached and had
his exceptions perfected. Then he
made motion for a new trial. His
motion was allowed and was passed
on to the Supreme Court which will
render decision at Montpelier.
