Death of L. P. Sheldon.

Lorenzo P Sheldon, rs, died Thurs
day morning, May /, in Burlington
hospital after several weeks illness.
Five weeks before his death he was
taken to the hospital, but on account
of his age and condition it was not
thought best to perform an operation.
Mr.. Sheldon was the last of his fam
lily, having buried his wife and four
children. Four years ago, Mrs. Shell
don s health being very poor, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Simonds came to live with
them and have been there since The
funeral was held in the Congregations
church Saturday afternoon, under the
auspices of the West River lodge of
Masons of this village of which order
he had been a member since 1872. He
was master of the lodge in 1887 and
1888 and was treasurer for many years
He was also a members of the Congre-
gational church.
Rev. Henry Ballou of Chester offici
ated assisted by Rev. F. c. Taylor OF
this village Mr.. and Mrs Edward 81
monds of Bennington and Mrs. Franz
Sheldon of Athol, Mass, were present
at the funeral. The burial took place il

NEW CLEW FOUND
IN BARRE MURDER
Identity of Handkerchief Found Around
Neck of Woman Victim Is
Established

BARRE, May The identity of the
man whose handkerchief was found
bound around the throat of Mrs Henry
Broadwell. who was choked to death
and whose nude body was found near
her home here early Sunday morning,
was the most important development
Yesterday in Vermont s worst murder,
which has attracted country wide at
tention.
The laundry mark on the handker-
chief, it is stated, has served as posi-
tive means of Identification. The
owner, however, it is stated, has not
been in town for some time, and from
those who have an acquaintance with
| him his exact location is uncertain. 1t
| is said he is well known in certain
| quarters of the city.
| 1t is expected the authorities will do
everything to learn the man S where
abouts. If he is apprehended it is pos
sible he may be. able to throw consider
able light on the mystery, if not entire
ly clear il up, it was stated. Authori-
ties, however, refused to say whether
or not il was their opinion the owner
of the handkerchief was the murderer.
1t is probable this point will not be de
termined until after a more thorough
investigation.
The authorities are in hopes that fur
Their clews may be presented by some
party who may have seen the victim
either on the street or in the movies on
Saturday evening. Many clews have
been run down, but with no immediate
results.
Sheriff Frank Tracy and large force
are searching diligently the several
rooming houses in and about the city
with the hope of obtaining information
as to where the woman may have spent
part of the evening on which she was
: murdered. The theory that she was
strangled in some building and brought
to the place where the body was found
by Harold Jackson, Sunday morning, is
generally believed. This is borne out by
the fact that when the bundle of cloth
ing was picked up many of the buttons
fell to the ground, evidently being
picked up in hurry and rolled into the
clothes. An attempt is being made tt
locate the building and when this i:
done it is probable positive clews as t.
: the murder or murderers will be found
Atty.-Gen Archibald says he viii
stick to the case until the matter i:
/
Attorney f. r. Davis, have invited vol
, untary evidence. Many have been be
fore the magistrates for a grueling a,
to their actions and whereabouts on tn
evening in question.
The funeral of Mrs Broadwell wa
, held from her late home at 6 Yves
street yesterday at . o'clock, only
relatives and few immediate friend
being admitted. Among the forme
was Mrs. Broadwell's sister, Mrs. Ed
ward Parker of Cambridge, and he
husband. 1t was sad and patheti
sight as the father and three it'll
! children, Doris, Hildred and Wendell
had the last glimpscs of their love,
8 one.
The body will be taken to johnson

WHEN TO GATHER ROOTS AND
HERBS

For medicinal purposes roots and herbs
should be gathered when their medicinal
properties are at their best For in
stance, roots of annual plants should be
dug just before their Towering season.
and roots of biennial or perennial plants
after the tops have dried. All these
things are taken into consideration in
gathering the roots and herbs, many tons
of which are used annually in preparing
that most successful of all remedies for
