NO BODY FOUND
IN WHITNEY WELLS
Digging Under House, Barn and In

Body Is to BE Found.

LANGDON. y. H.. Nov. 2O.-The
band of hunters searching the Whitney
farm in an effort to ascertain clues to
the disappearance of Mrs. William
Whitney met with decidedly negative re-
suits yesterday. They finished the well
at the north of the house, excavating to
a depth of 30 feet. They dug in the
cellar. the basement under the kitchen.
probed in the garden back of the house
and dug in many places in the cultivated
field at the rear of the barns. as this
land had been used in a very unusual
manner, that is, it was planted to corn
then oats, then corn and so on and not
seeded to grass as is the usual practice
and this method even caused comment
years ago. but nothing was found.
II. A. Holmes. who was at the head of
the party, said last night that the field
would be ploughed so as to make a thor
ough lob. The party also visited the
spot described by Farmer Davis. who
had noticed Whitney in deep thought 81
lently watching the ground and. when
he was observed, darting off into the
woods. There was nothing found there.
The barn was searched and measure
ments taken of the mound where the
hay was allowed to remain and SDOil and
the bins where the diamond ring was
supposed to have been hidden were thor
oughly scrutinized. and the alI-day hard
work netted not a sign of a clue and the
members of the party are somewhat
doubtful that the body will be located.
If there is a body to be found.

1t Is Not VOid-ThibOdeau Children
Stay in Ashley's Custody.
An important and interesting law ques-
ton has just been decided by Judge Sher-
man r. Moulton, who presided at the last
term of Windham county court, in dis
missing the petition of Mrs. Sarah j.
Casey of Brattleboro for writ of habeas
corpus and an order for the release of
Mrs. Casey's two minor children, Emma
NJ. Thibodeau and st. Elmer T.. Thibo-
deau, from the custody of their guardian,
Joseph E. Ashley of Brattleboro, who is
grandfather of the children and father of
Mrs. Casey. This case was argued on
one Of the last days of the term, Attorney
w. r. Daley appearing for the relator,
Mrs. Casey, and attorney II. @. Barber
for the respondent, Mr.. Ashley.
Last March Probate Judge A. f.
Schwenk appointed Mr.. Ashley guardian
of the two children, following some trouble
between Mr.. Thibodeau and his wife. who
was living here with John Casey and who
claimed she thought her husband was
dead. Mr.. Thibodeau consented to the
appointment, but his wife did not know
VI tit proceedings. IN June she obtained
divorce from Thibodeau. and an order
from the county court giving her the Gus
tody of the children, the county court not
being informed that they were under
guardianship. Later she married Casey
and afterwards brought habeas corpus
proceedings in county court to get posses
sion Of the children.
The effect of Judge Moulton's dismiss
sal of the petition is to say that so long
as the probate courts appointment of
the guardian was legal it cannot be va
Gated by the county court.
Judge MOulton says in his decision:
1t appears that. prior to the commence
ment of the divorce proceedings, while
the relator and her then husband were
living apart, the respondent was an
