VAULT ACCEPTED
Assistant Judges Agres to Plan Which
Will Provide Vault for County

Londonderry and Tyler ID. Goodell of
Whitingham decided yesterday after
noon to accept the offer OF. the Vermont
National bank to provide vault room for
the clerk of the Windham county court
and the Judge of the probate court by
extending its vault up through the second
story of the building. The vault will be
the size of the present probate court
room and will be divided into three COM
partments. one each for the law firm OF
Harvey. Maurice. Whitney & Fits, the
probate court and the county clerk. The
town had made the judges an offer to
lease two rooms on the north side of the
town hall corridor and erect a large
vault. the annual rental to be $500 and 10
per cent of the cost of the vault. The
cost to the county under the present ar
rangement will be somewhat less, and
beside that the incumbcnts of the two
county offices concerned preferred to re-
main where they are.
No arrangement has been made con-
templating any change in Office location,
either of the probate Judge or county
clerk. and for the present at least they
will keep their present offices. States

PROVES FATAL
Chicago Diamond Merchant Found
Dead In Room With Young Wom-
an-Conficting Stories.

CHICAGO. July 81. = Miss May
Woods. pretty hotel cashier who was
alone with Samuel T. A. LOFTS, dia-
mond merchant, when he died suddenly
in his luxurious apartments last night,
told the police today that Lofts
crumbled to the floor dead after they
had engaged in a /" friendly struggle. =
Although the police believe that the
diamond merchant died as a result OF
concussion of the brain probably caused
by fall they expressed dissatisfaction
with conflicting stories told by Miss
Woods and Roy NJ Shayne, son of a
late millionaire merchant, who also IS
being held pending the inquest.
Miss Woods. described Shayne as her
fiance and said she was called by LOFTS
to his apartment at l O'Clock yesterday
afternoon She said they danced and
drank together and finally Lofts at
tempted to attack her.
According to the story Shayne told
the police he reached the Lofts apart
ments at about s O'Clock, that LOFTS
opened the door to admit him and sud
denly crumbled to the floor. As soon
as Shavne arrived Miss Woods fled from
the apartment. In the meantime Shayne
called physician and when he arrived
the body of LOFTS was cold, indicating
that Lofts had been dead some time.
The police express the conviction that
Lofts died before Shayne arrived.
