to the bite OF the rattler or is the out
come of a former mental state.
The boy, who had been in the Army
Medical Corps and knew first-aid
treatment. made a rude torniquet when
he was bitten and cut the flesh from
the wound with his penknife. For
days he had hovered between life and
death. but was thought to have been
out OF danger.

NURSES0BS IN
SLAYER'S CELL
Mawkish Sentiment Rules Court
Room Following Conviction
for Death of Wife.

MANCHESTER, VT, July 30.-Be-
hind the bars OF the state prison at
r Windsor. Byron Madison Pettibone
today began the life sentence i'm
posed by the court for the staying of
his wife through the administration
OF poison.
Helen Irene Guillow. the 2lO
pound nurse, called unattractive and
ignorant, but nevertheless named by
the state as the "other woman" for
whom Pettibone developed a mad
infatuation which furnished the
motive for his crime, parted from the
prisoner in tears.
SAW HIM IN HIS CELL.
She had been permitted by the Jail
authorities TO have few brief
moments with the convicted under
TAX assistant before he began
preparation for his journey to the
prison.
Shielded by paper which covered
the windows OF the Jail she entered
his cell and they had a conference
which lasted some ten minutes.
Nurse Guillow left the cell with tears
yelling In her eyes but brushed
aside newspaper men who requested
q statement
"It Is all terrible mistake.
Please don't ask me to say more"
she sobbed as she entered waiting
, automobile.
Native Vermonters who have fol-
lowed closely the details of the trial
and earlier developments in the
tragedy pronounce the verdict a
glaring miscarriag of justice.
They believe that the evidence
warranted a verdict of first degree
murder and consequent expiation In
hesitancy in condemning the jury.
TAKES VERDICT QUIETLY.
Pettibone took the verdict stoically.
He displayed no emotion when the
finding of guilty was rendered and
he remained mute when asked by the
judge IL he had anything to say.
Prompted finally by his counsel. he
calculated a laconic mo" to the
judges query.
For the rest of his life he will pay
for his crime with hard labor behind
gray prison walls.
Women, the unknown quantity,
held the center Of the stage in the
little courthouse during the last
hours of the trial, while Pettibone
awaited the verdict of the jury Of
his peers.
sICKENING SENTIMENT.
Casting aside sense Tor sentiment
lacking imagination with which to
picture scenes painted by the grew
some evidence, disbelieving the
damning statements contained in Pet
tibone's confessions, some members
of the perhaps weaker and sometimes
fairer sex constituted themselves
champions of the respondent. His
animal qualities appealed to them in
a mysterious fashion.
This maWkish sentiment was more
apparent at this trial than in any
capital case ever tried before Yer
mont tribunal
In the mind of a simpering miss the
real issue of whether or not he poi
soned his wife was forgotten.
He has such beautiful ankles" she
exclaimed.
BROUGHT HIM FLOWERS.
Another woman brought him flow
ers. She is student of the mystic
occult. She declared that il Pettibone
killed his wife he was at the time "in
a negative state and knew not what
he did"
A third called the prisoner "My
hero" and directed calflike Glances
at the back Of his well brushed head.
And so, as the minutes wove into
