Expected Case Will Go to
Jury Before Court
Closes for Day
DEFENSE CAME
TO SUDDEN STOP
Did Not Put Pettibone On Witness
Stand - Some of Their Testimony
Rejected by Judge Claim Poison
Administered.

MANCHESTER, July 2S.-Final argu-
ments were made today in the trial of
Byron NJ. Pettibone for the murder of
his wife at Bennington on April q. 1t
was expected that the case would go to
the Jury before night. Attorney Batchel-
der made the closing plea for the defend
ant and Attorney General Archibald pre-
sented the final argument for the state
in an attempt to prove that Pettibone,
who was an pndertaker's assistant, poi
soned his wife, because of his alleged af-
fection for Miss Helen /. Guillow, nurse
The defense maintained that Mrs. Pet
tibone was the victim of a self admins
tered dose of poison.
Yesterday afternoon States Attor
ney Collins NJ Graves opened the argu
ment for the state, and Joseph Jones fol
the defense, after both sides had rested
their cases most unexpectedly just before
the noon recess.
It had been expected that the defense
would produce many more witnesses
than they had put on. But when they
had tried to have a veterinary testify
that the H. NJ. c. medicine which DR.
GARDINER had injected into the veins OF
the moribund Mrs. Pettibone had been
fatal to a dog which the veterinary once
operated upon-and offered to show that
the same medicine would have beep dan
gerous to human beings-Judge Wilson
excluded the testimony and the defense
Immediately rested.
The state merely put Miss Hogan, the
stenographer, back to establish the cor
rectness of the transcript of testimony at
the inquest, and DIR. Wilcox's house
keeper, Mrs. Lillian Buss, to say that
the aged doctor was in Bennington
throughout November and December, NJ
to his leaving permanently on Jan.
Then the state rested also.

Mrs. Louis A. Dickerman of Highland ave-
nue., lost his life in the Connecticut river
yesterday afternoon, and while the cause
of his death is given on the death certif-
cate as accidental drowning it is believed
he had an attack of heart disease before
he sank, as he did not rise at all and
very little water came from his lungs
The young man and two other boys
went in swimming near the foot of Sand
hill on the Brattleboro road, the others
being Leo Marshall of this town and Fred
Wales of Springfield, Mass, a visitor
here The three started to swim out to-
ward deep water, the Dickerman boy be
ing between the two others.
Suddenly the Dickerman boy felt faint
and called to the others for help. They
swan to him and took hold Of him, but
he sank and did not come to the sur
face again.
The Marshall boy had his bicycle on
shore and as soon as possible he rode to
the village and notified Mr. Dickerman.
The latter with Henry A. Dickerman and
others went by automobile to the scene of
the accident, and many other residents
hurried there.
Men in boat finally saw the body ly-
ing on the bottom of the river and Fred
Hunt brought Is to the surface with
graphing irons. This was about 6 o'clock,
three hours after the accident. 1t was
in about 10 feet of water. 1t was seen
by the selectmen and coroner and was
taken to j. NJ Lambs undertaking rooms.
Leon Dickerman was born in Hinsdale,
Dec 4, 1900, and always lived here ex-
cept about three years when the family
lived in Chesterfield, n. Fl. He attended
the local schools, and at the time OF his
death he was employed by the Hinsdale
Paper Co. His father is a moulder in the
employ of the Eagle iron foundry.
| Besides his parents he leaves a brother
and sister, Fred and Gladys Dickerman.
A brother, Harold, died three years ago
