since early in the week, having been
placed in rooms in Hotel Barre, where
the latter part of the investigation was
conducted following the arrival of De-
tectives James r. Wood and William
Merritt OF Boston. After having the
sup9na served on him in the lobby of
the hotel, Bianchi was allowed to depart
and was last seen disappearing up Wash
ington street alone. The two who are
arrested on the murder charge were
whisked to the county jail in Montpelier
by automobile, being accompanied by
Detective Wood, Sheriff Frank Tracy
and Deputy Sheriff Henry G. Lawson in
the leading vehicle and being trailed by

Long Pulled Cigar When Waiting for
Trip to Montpelier.
The warrant was served on Long by
Sheriff Tracy and the warrant on Mrs,
Parker was served by Deputy Sheriff
Lawson. The former prisoner appeared
in the lobby of the hotel first and was
escorted to the waiting automobile in
front Of the hotel. He was putting at a
newly lighted cigar when he emerged
from the hotel and was placed in the
front seat of the automobile along with
Detective Wood Then there ensued a
wait Of quarter of an hour before Deputy
Lawson assisted Mrs. Parker out Of the
hotel and to the automobile.
During the wait, Long had little to
say, confning his talk to Detective
Wood. He pulled rather nervously at
his cigar and frequently brought his
hand up to remove the cigar from his
mouth He watched keenly all the peo-
Pile who came within his range of vision
and also glanced up and down the street
as if seeing it for the first time.

Long was well dressed in clothing of
dark material, dark overcoat and felt
hat He is a man rather under medium
size, not weighing more than l40 pounds
and being not more than five feet, seven
inches tall His face is Drowned like
that of woodsman, which occupation he
followed, and his cheeks were slightly
sunken in, giving his face rather sharp
ened appearance.
Mrs. Parker Was Assisted to Automobile.

the steps of the hotel and to the waiting
automobile by Deputy Lawson, who sup

in black and was altogether a very

contrasting with the blackness of her
clothing. Quick time was made by the
automobile containing the prisoners and
the officers in reaching Montpelier, and
the two We're soon enseonced in quarters
in the county Jail to await the action of
the courts.

When the party reached the Jail in
Montpelier Sheriff Tracy opened cell
door and said George, you've got to go
in"
"All right" said the accused man and
entered the cell without tremor of emo
tion.
A few minutes later he was seen play
ing a game of solitaire and smoking
pipe in apparent oblivion to his sur
roundings. When Detective Wood said
good bye to the prisoner, Long said:
when this case is cleared up, you'll find
that was right"
Mrs. Parker asked for cup of tea
Immediately after she had been ushered
into the Jail and her wish was gratified.
No statement was secured from her.

will be returned to the county Jail to
await the action of the prosecuting au-
