John Peryer of Rutland Found Guilty
Charge.

Rutland, Oct. 1S.-The jury which
was impaneled by Judge Harrie B.
Chase in the case of the state against
John Peryer of this city, was given
the case about 8 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. After deliberation of
about two hours, they returned a YER
dict of guilty of one count, that if mis-
treating his wife's child and causing
her unnecessary suffering. Mr.. Perry
er was entirely exonerated from the
charge of assault with intent to kill.
The extreme penalty that can be i'm
posed for the offense of which the
defendant was found guilty is two
years Imprisonment or a fine of $500
or both
John Peryer, the respondent, was
the principal witness for the defense
at the morning session of the court,
and his testimony was a general den
ial of any mistreatment of the child
on whom it was alleged that he com.
mitted assault with intent to kill,
and, in answer to question by his
counsel he said that he was fond Of
the child and described instances
when he had shown his fondness for

URUGUAY NAN SPEAKS
Bennington Business Men Hear
About South America.

ABOUT SOutn HnerlSd.
A group of Bennington business
men met at luncheon on Saturday at
the Bennington club to hear an ad-
dress on South American Relation
ships and Opportunities. by Charles
j. Ewald of Monteyido, Uruguay. Mr..
Ewald, who is the general secretary
of the South American Federation of
Young Mems Christian Associations,
has spent sixteen years in the South
ern Continent where through eYten-
sive travel he has come to know init
mately South America and the South
American peoples. The address dealt
with three aspects of our relationship
with South American-the political,
commercial and cultural. He said
that South Americans have come to
have a new confidence in us and are
interested in promoting very close
relationship with us The idealism
of our people revealed by our partici-
patton in the World War had contri'
buted very largely to the develop
ment of that confidence. One of the
evidences Of the friendliness on their
part is the large number of students
from South America entering our col
leges and universities. This number
now reaches almost 5000
In answer to questions Mr. Ewald
stated that the "Y" is very popular in
South America. 1t has the sympathy
OF governments and university au-
thorities and is very generously sup
ported by the business and profess
ional men of the South American
cities He said that the Buenos Aires
Association with an equipment of
about 100000 is so popular that it is
not uncommon to have a list of sever
al hundred waiting to become mem
bers OF the nearly 5000 members
some 700 are students in the National
University.
In dealing with the commercial stu
alton he stressed only particularly the
need of business men who propose toI
do business in South America, acquir
ing a knowledge of the local condi-
tions of the people. He said that sen
timent is a larger factor in business
there than here and that the South
American likes to. do business with a
friend. He said he believed the
United States could hold most of the
great trade advantage secured during
the war if North American concerns
will give as good service as European
concerns.
Mr.. Ewald expressed his satisfac-
tion at finding such wide spread in
terest at the present time on the
part of people in this country in South
American affairs.

CAME WARDEN
MOORE HANDLES
SKUNK PROBLEM
Had to Dispose of Skunks Cap
tured Out of Season
SEVEN TO LOOK AFTER
Sells Animals Back to Dealer Who
Had Just Been Fined for
Possessing Them
SEVEN TO LOOK AFTER

Roby Jones, a fur dealer living at
Bennington Falls, was in municipal
court Saturday afternoon charged
with having two live skunks in his
possession contrary to law The open
season for skunks did not begin until
one minute after u o'clock this morn
! ing. The fur dealer pleaded guilty
to the charge preferred against him
| by County Game Warden Edwin d.
Moore and was fined with costs
S1S.45.
After the business of the hearing
had been concluded the warden stated
that 1t was his business to dispose of
the skunks for the benefit of the fish
and game department and he didn't
know just how to go about 1t. He
didn't relish the idea of killing and
skinning two skunks. He was puz-
zling over a method of procedure
when the fur dealer took a hand in
the conversation:
Mr. Moore, he said, "the court
hasn't been very hard on me and |
want to do the square thing. You
didn't come down to my place to see
how many skunks l had You just
charged me with havin' two and I
didn't say anything. There are seven
skunks in that pen and here's the key
to the door
Seven skunks to kill and skin and
sell! The warden was almost ready
to resign his commission, but while
he was trying to catch breath a
happy thought came to him and he
suddenly exclaimed Don't you
want to buy those skunks, Roby."
Sure, I'll buy 'em, replied the fur
dealeh.'
How much are they WORTH"
price,"
"Pll give you $3.50 for the lot"
volunteered the dealer
You're on" answered the warden.
them skunks is yours
During the hearing it developed
that the fur dealer had been hiring
some of the small boys in the vicinity
of Bennington Falls TO trap live
skunks. which the fur dealer planned
to keep in the pen until after the
opening of the trapping season, 1t
seems that he had not fully settled
wit hthe boys for their part in the
transaction. Late in the afternoon the
warden met one of the fur dealers
assistants on tn street. Say, Bub,
idd Roby pay you for the skunks you
caught for him." asked the warden.
No. Mr.. Moore, not yet" the boy
answered. "Roby said, Mr.. Moore.
that he bought them skunks of you"
