HE THEN RECOUNTED
HIS SEARCH FOR HER
Went to Mrs. Isabel Parker's
House on South Main
Street, Barre, and Saw a
Small Automobile Stand
ing There - He Took the
Number and Walked the
Streets for Hours.

Efforts by the defense to show that
Harry E. Broadwell was provoked on re-
turning home not to find his wife there
failed in Washington county court to-
day when the trial of George A. Long on
the charge of numbering Mrs. BroadweI
was resumed after three days recess due
to the Illness of Juror T. J. Ferris
Broadwell who was being cross exam
ined by Attorney j. Ward Carver, tes-
titled that he was not provoked but
thought it strange his wife was not
there.
This was brought out following long
testimony on the witness stand this fore
noon during which Broadwel testified
as to his movements during the night
of May 3.4, 1919, and his search for Mrs.
Broadwell on failing to find her at their
home on West street. The witness told
of going to the house of Mrs. Isabel
Parker, also indicted with Long on the
charge of murder, and of seeing a small
automobile near the house. He had gone
there because two weeks previously he
had seen his wife coming out of that
house Broadwell testified that the mum.
Der of the car was A-0lS2.
Long Shows More Interest.
During Broadwell's recital, Long paid
rather close attention to what was be-
ing said and he also watched the jury
more closely than usual He did not
smile so much to-day as he has been in
lthe habit Of doing since the trial started.
Prior to the presentation Of Broad
wells testimony, George A. Rising's
cross examination was completed. The
cross examination of Broadwell was ex-
pected to occupy the greater part of
this afternoon.
It looked for time as if there might
nave to be another suspension of the
trial because of illness among the iur-
ors. Juror A. j. Paterson was taken
with a choking spell while eating his
breakfast this morning, and DR.. w. R.
Hardness was called to attend him. The
man had recovered before the arrival of
the physician.
Cross Examination of Rising.
When cross examined by Attorney
Hoar, George A. Rising, who was the
first witness on the stand, could not re-
call where he worked on Saturday, May
3. He said that Broadwell was the last
person with him on the night of May 3-4.
He remembered that he ate, that night,
four egg sandwiches and drank 10
"beers" and two gin izzes but drank no
hard liquor.
''Why is it, asked Attorney Hoar,
4s'you can remember what you ate and
drank that night and cannot remember
where you worked?"
''The things that happened the next
,day impressed me-" replied the witness.
Witness said he was sober when Ma
son left the party. He did not dance at
the Granite street hall Broadwell did
not dance. There was nothing at the
hall that attracted his attention.
'fDid you leave Harry at the corner of
Pearl and Main?"
what Harry do you mean? There
were two Harrys"
Attorney Hoar insisted on an answer
The state objected The court asked
counsel to say which Harry was meant
and told witness not to answer. Ques.
tion was excluded. Exceptions were
taken by the defense.
The witness was then asked what man
he left at the corner Of Pearl and Main
streets, and he replied; Harry Mason =
Broadwell Left Rising at 2:45 a. m.
Witness said that Harry Broadwell
left him at the corner of West and
Summer streets When witness reached

his watch. Mr.. Rising was then asked
about the time of meeting Mason, Chen

to the bank. Witness said they were
standing around killing time"
"Killing who?" inquired Mr. Hoar

thing particular to do"
.'The next saloon we went into was
Charlie Hawes',n witness said.
In the house that elapsed between
their visits to the saloon, Mr.. Rising

ing his whereabouts that evening but
did not remember who waited on them
in the Scampini saloon, nor who was in
