WINOOSKI SLAYER MAKES
PLEA OF SELF DEFENSE
M. Aruzza Admits He Used Scissors
With Fatal Effect Upon His
Cousin

Burlington, July 31--M Aruzza of
Winooski, on trial for his life in Chit
tenden county court for stabbing to
death his cousin, Dominic Aruzzi, on
the night of June 1, last, in the viii
lage of Wnoosh was on the stand
this morning as the last witness for
the defense on the third day of the
trial.
His testimony consisted in confes
sion to striking with a pair of shears
the b ow which killed his cousin He
claims that the blow was struck in self
defense, as he says that the man whom
he killed drew knife on him at sever
nj times during their walk from the
home of relative to their own home
and was only prevented from striking
him by the interference of another
tuian, Michael Momoni.
Aruzzi has been calm, almost stolid,
throughout the trial He understands
very little English and seems to have
only hazy idea of what is going on.
| On the stand this morning he seemed
in depressed, apathetic frame of mind
until he came to the point in the testi-
mony where he was asked to give the
detail s of the stabbing. Then he show
ed signs of considerable excitement
and his testimony in his own language
was rapid and fiery.
| He told connected story. which
| Tjibed well with that of other Witnesses,
| though when cross questioned by At.
torney General Frank c. Archibald
who with States Attorney Allen Mar
tin, is conducting the case for the
state, there were many details which
he could not remember and he claim
! ed, that he was crazed after the blow
and could not recollect what happen
ed for some time.
| His attempt at the inquest to tell
! a story of a stranger who had killed
his cousin and then run away figured
prominently in the cross examination.
A consistent defense has been made
/ by attorneys Rufus E. Brown and Mat
thew G. Leary.
The evidence in the case closed at
ll1.30 O'Clock this moring and the at
| torneys started their arguments at
1.30. 1t is probable that the case will
go TO the jury during the latter part
lof the afternoon, with the possibility
! of verdict tonight.

time decided to relieve Mr.. Hawks of
the warden work so that he might give

Newport, July 31.-Roy Charland
1S, son of Thomas Charland of Maple
street, was fatally shot about II
o'clock last night by Earl Fitzpat
rick during card game, Fitzpatrick
claiming that he pointed the revolver
at Charland in fun and had no idea
that the weapon was loaded The
bullet penetrated Charland's skull
and the young man died this morn
ins.
The two young men in company
with Morris Wiley and Kenneth Car
son, were playing cards in Wiley's
room. Charland had been winning
steadily and Fitzpatrick finally said
to HIM
IF you get any more such hands as
this there will be some shooting go
ing on" at the same time opening a
drawer and taking out a revolver be-
longing to Wiley, who had just step
ped out of the room.
AS he laid the weapon down he re-
marked: 81 guess Wen begin shoot
ing now" He pointed the revolver
at Charland's head and pulled the
trigger, an explosion following and
Charland falling to the floor. The
bullet hit Charland under the left eye
took a downward course and lodged
at the base of the brain.
Persons in the house Immediately
summoned Drs. B. d. Gange and j. II.
Gaines, the physicians agreeing that
the young man had lost so much
blood that an operation would be use
less. His body was removed to an
undertaker's rooms this afternoon.
Charland was employed in the
newspaper office of the Express and
Standard. He had attended school at
Newport for the last five years and
worked outside of school hours.

Washington, July 31.-The Gov
erhmeht is assembling its forces to
stage campaign against the high
cost of living, especially as it affects
food stuffs, clothing and other essen
tials OF life and the indications are
tonight that definite action which
may include some form of legislation
to control prices will be forthcoming
The iJr development today was
call sent out bv Attorney General
Palmer as the head of the law en-
forcement branch of the Government
to various Cabinet officers and other
Government officials whose duties are
most closely affiliated with living
costs, for an exchange of views.
Mr. Palmer said the conference
had been called on his initiative, but
a complete report will be submitted
to the President, who has taken per-
sonal charge OF the campaign, follow
ing his action yesterday in releasing
for publication statement by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers which asserted that wage in
creases must be granted If living
costs were not reduced
There were other developments
which made the situation as to the
high cost of living the dominating
topic in many circles here today.
William c. Lee, President of the
brotherhood of Railway Trainmen--
another of the big four made public
part of his testimony given before
the Wage Adjustment Board of the
Railroad Administration a few days
ago. in which he declared that the
nation was looking an unheaval in the
face, that the country was nearer
h-l' than ever and nearer war than
when the Kaiser threw down the
gauntlet in Europe.
Many thought the most striking
part of Mr. Lees statement was that
the cure could not be found in in
creased wages, although increases
were essential if other steps were not
taken, such as the punishment of the
men who were responsible for keeping
up prices, and that under present con
ditions all classes were compelled to
get all the money they could, thus
aggravating the situation.
In the House, Representative 1goe
announced that he would call up to-
morrow his resolution to investigate
the high price of many essentials;
Representative Fitzgerald of Massa-
chusetts introduced resolution to
sell American wheat at the world
market price, with the Government
making up the deficit to producers
out of its $1,O0OO00,O00 fund, and
panracantofivo RpaVic aunOurcp6
that he would ask the Federal Trade
Commission for figures on costs and
selling prices.

Chicago, July 1.-Race war terror
and bloodshed had abated tonight af
ter four days and nights of rioting,
but violence continued to occur spor.
adically, Notwithstanding force of
$500 state troops and thousands of
policemen were on active duty in the
South Side negro quarters.
Three negroes died today of bullet
wounds, making the official corrected
list 2, of whom Is were negroes. On
ly one of the three was shot today,
though a dozen or more of both races
were wounded in the scattered dis
turbances. In the down town district
tonight a crow of white men, severe
ly beat a negro who was on his way
from work until he was rescued by
the police. There was no shooting
by troops who we're ordered on the
streets last night by Governor Frank
10. Lowden on the request of Mayor
William Hale Thompson.
The negro area was comparatively
quiet tonight. The presence of the
troops apparently had calmed the
negroes fears, and had had salu-
tary effect on disturbing elements
among both whites and blacks.
Food supplies were rushed into the
negro sections by cooperation of the
Wholesale Growers association, the
police and the troops. The black
belt remained barred zone where
whites might not enter and even the
guarded trucks of groceries were driv
en- only to the dead line" by white
chauffeurs who then were relieved
by negro drivers under police escort
Many of the poorer negroes were
reported in dire need OF food and
without funds. Today was pay day
at the stock yards, but negroes fear
ed to go for their wages.
Among today's disorders only two
involved any considerable number of
persons. Several hundred whites in
search of four negroes who had hid
den in the stocq yards were driven
off by militiamen with lowered bay
onets after the white had demanded
that the blacks be delivered to them
About 400 white men beat one of
three negroes severely this after
noon, the other two, both armed, es-
capped after firing a few shots. No
writes were wounded.

LONG is MELANCHOLY
Does Not Take Food Since Discovery
of Pistol in Cell.

George Long has been very re-
morseful since the searching of his
cell in the county Jail, which occur
red Monday night, and did not take
food of any kind until supper time.
All day Tuesday he sat in his cell in
melancholy attitude, declining
food of any kind, although those in
charge of the Jail tried to have him
take some nourishment. The same
procedure occurred until supper time
on Wednesday evening, when he fin
ally took little pudding.
Efforts to have Long tell who car
ried the weapon, shells and key to
him have been without avail. These
have not been pressed since Monday
night when he was found in readi
ness to escape from the jail. Long
is charged with numbering Mrs.
Lucina p. Broadwell of Barre.

In the larger cities and in some of
the smaller cities and towns, women
have put very practical ideas into OPP
GRAFTON along lines that are helpful to
the poorer members of the community,
without making them objects of char
ity. We learned during the war, when
drives were made for clothing for the
Belgians and French of the devastated
regions, that nearly everyone had
clothing that could be spared. 1t is
almost a crime to keep garments that
are not worn or needed, stored away
when they might be of use to 9TH
ers who really need them. Therefore
influential women in the larger COM
munities have organized yearly sales
usually called 'rummage sales, and
they contribute to these events all
kinds Of clothing -shoes, hats. gloves,
hose, underwear, as well as all outer
garments. The contributions include
clothing for men, women and children.
The more prosperous usually donate
outright what they can spare. 9th
ers ask that a selling price be put upon
their articles and certain per cent
Of it be returned to them.
But clothing is not all that appears
at these sales; bed coverings, furni-
ture. brie-a-brae, and all sorts Of
household belongings find place at
the sale. If there is no regular wom-
ans exchange, preserves and canned
fruits and vegetables are sure Of find
ing purchasers. In fact, about every
thing appears that is useful or orna-
mental in the home.
1t takes a few enterprising and
capable women to put over a rum
mage sale or a contribution sale or ba-
zaar--the name 10 be selected accord
ing to circumstances. They must get

HE CHRIST CHILD


Across the snow the home lights glow
From the myriad hearts alight,
And through the street with noiseless
feet
The christ-child walks tonight.
At silent gates, outside He waits.
To find a fitting spot
Be thine the shame, II through thy
The ''t christ-child enters not.
Where Joyous notes from ohildren's
throats
The old glad song begin,
Where love impels and kindness dwellss
The Christ-child enters in.
Where hate has room. pride sits in
And wrong involxes unrest,
Though green the walls and bright the
halls,
He cannot be guest
But where the thought that angels
brought
To earths enraptured ears
Good win to men and peace, again
The Christ-child, listening, hears.
He turns His feet with welcome sweet,
Enters and there abides.
Angels know best how such are blest
Through all the Christmastides.
