TOWN LISTER ON TRIAL.
Charged with differentiation of Yer
mont Marble Co. Property.

Rutland, Sept. IA huge pile ot
marble blocks, estimated by the states
expert witness to be valued at Sl,lgI.
624 and which is in the list at $40,
900 on which Vermont Marble com
pany IS paying taxes, was the first un
usual evidence introduced in the pros
| ecution of the case of State against
William r. Dwyer, lister Of the town
of West Rutland, in which he is
charged by States Attorney p NJ. NJ
Phelps of Fair Haven with malfeasance
of Office. II is specifically charged that
he understated the value of this pile
of marble blocks with intent to de.
fraud the town of taxes and in favor
of the marble company.
Ii is a unique case in more WAYS
than one and when the trial started
yesterday morning the chief counsel of
the Vermont Marble company appeared
as counsel for the respondent, His at
torneys now include Attorney l.. r.
Noble and Edwin w. Lawrence, Bert
L. Stafford and Asa Bloomer Of the
firm of Lawrence, Lawrence 4 Staf-
ford. States Attorney Phelps is be-
ing assisted by his partner, Judge
Leo E. Pratt, in the presentation of
the states side of the case.
1t is alleged that Mr. Dwyer while
acting with the two other listers, L..
p. Holt and Fred J. Lsnthier, swore
falsely as to the value of the personal
property of the Vermont Marble com
pauv in West Rutland and also that
he exempted certain other property,
including the Westland quarry and the
lime plant of the same company from
taxation without the authority of the
voters.
1t developed yesterday that the
states attorney in his investigation of
the case finds the town of West Rut
land with strange grand list for the
present year. II IS only sworn TO by
two listers and il is said that one of
these is disqualified. In the years
1915 and 1916 the county prosecuting
officer could find no official records of
the town meetings of those two years
and no official document purporting
to be the legal call for the town meet
ing.
