i ON MAIN STREET
Road Commissioner Dube Now Work
ing on Elliot Street - State Work
on West Dummerston Road.

Repair work on Main street was fin
ished late yesterday afternoon by Road
Commissioner Charles j. DUDE and men,
and they are now giving attention to
Elliot street from the fire station west
to the junction of Church street. A
thorough job has been done on Main
street and persons can now ride over it
in comfort, but how long it will be be-
fore somebody digs hole in the street
to fix a water main or gas pipe is
problematical.
Spectators who have watched the
road building process have been much
impressed with the efficiency of the man
operating the seam road roller, William
o O'Neil, whom Road Commissioner DUDE
brought here from North Duxbury. He
is an artist in his line and puts an ami
nation into the old machine that il
never has known before.
State road work on the West Dunn
merston road has been begun. Begin
ming at the Dummerston town line it is
planned to improve and widen the road
as far south as the Wadleigh place,
formerly the Redway place.

Wood often remarked that his grandfather
might have bought at that time any of

a wilderness and for many years marked
the spot where the clearing began The
house built by the grandfather was re-

by Mr.. Woods father and uncle. 1t was

BULLETIN
Byron PettibOne was
found guilty this after
noon of second degree
murder and was sem
fenced to life imprison-
ment.

MANCHESTER, July 29.-The jury
winch viii decide the fate of Byron M
Eettibone, charged with the murder of
his wife at Bennington on April 6. re-
stunned its deliberations this morning. The
jury received the case yesterday afternoon
and after six hours consideration re-
turned to court for further instructions.
The jurymen then retired for the night
upon the advice of the court.
The jurors returned to their task after
breakfast and had been in session nearly
four hours when they came to court again
for instructions as to the law on the de-
gree of murder. The court told them that
if it was found that Pettibone had adj
mlnIstered to his wife the poison from
which she died it was murder in the first
degree, if not he should be acquitted Is
adjustment of motive was unnecessary
Judge Wilson said The jury again re-
tired and were still out this afternoon
The case went to the jury at 3.56 yes
terday afternoon when Judge Stanley G..
Wilson finished his charge The jurymen
had supper and it was almost O'Clock
when they began their deliberations.
After nearly three hours deliberation the
jury fled into the court room for in
structions
Foreman Beebe said some Of the jurors
desired further explanation Of the "first
and second degree of manslaughter, but
Judge Wilson corrected him and asked
if he desired definitions of first and Sec
ond degree murder and manslaughter,
and at an affirmative reply read defini-
tions from the statutes, with emphasis
on that portion which specifically defined
killing by poison as murder with malice
and premeditation. One remark stood out
Malice may be implied if killing was
done with poison"
''There is no claim Of any evidence by
either side that the respondent committed
manslaughter, and it would. seem that
the evidence narrows down the verdict
you may find, either not guilty or guilty
Of murder in the first degree, but / dc
not limit you. 1t is for you to determine
the degree"
Foreman Beebe said the jurors did not
ask for further directions at this time, and
Judge Wilson suggested that they 60 to
their hotel for nights sleep. Just dror
it for tonight and see if you can't agree
in the morning" he said and suspended
court until today.

tributions Will Not Be Limited
"Peace, Progress, Prosperity

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The DEM
cratic partvt 3 war chest is open
to contributions of any amount,
George White chairman of the ma
tional committee announced here. to-
day. Party leaders, Mr.. White said,
will examine the source rather than
the amount of all contributions.
Peace. progress, prosperity Will
be the three word slogan of the DEM
ocratic campaigners, Mr.. White said,
adding that with this slogan the party
should be 'sCoxsure' of victory. The
new national chairman referred to IL
linois, Indiana and Ohio as " the bat
tie ground = of the campaign but he
indicated that as the campaign plans
developed Governor Cox would carry
the fight direct to the people and would
visit majority of the states.
Discussing campaign contributions
Mr.. White said the restrictions which
had been proposed as to the size of the
gifts were SO easily cireumvented as to
make themselves useless and that the
national committee, therefore, would
content itself with scrutiny of all
contributions in order that no obliga-
tion on the candidate would be entailed
by the acceptance of campaign funds.
