The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1919-11-10
MONTPELIER

Attorney General Frank G. Archibald
was in the city Saturday and made a
request of Judge +. NJ Butler that the
recess which was taken last week in
order for the state to prepare for the
II. i. Graham trial be continued until
Nov 10, which will give the state more
time to get ready. One of the reasons
is that L. S. Pratt, the states account
ant, is in New York at present and will
not be back until about the date given
above. He will be a material witness,
as he was in the Williams case. There
seems to be, however, a general feeling
that no trial will take place and that
the plea which had been filed by the at
torneys for the respondent may carry
the case directly to supreme court upon
a pro forma judgment, followed by a
demurrer, although no one seems will
ing to say much about the full mean
ing of the respondents plea as the
document was named that was filed
last week by Hale X. Darling. Mr.
Archibald went to Brattleboro, where
he held a conference with Ii. G. Barber,
former attorney general, who will be
associated in the trial of the case and
who conducted the trial of the case
against Frank c. Williams which, by
some, is considered companion case
to this one. The jury have been mott
fed by Clerk l.. G. Moody that they
need not come here until Nov 49,
