THE MCDOWELL TRIAL
An Eden Man Tried for Muir
der Sixty Years Ago

Few people-and this small number
comprises the oldest inhabitants of the
State-will remember the last murder
trial conducted here. 1t was nearly 60
years ago when Leonard Mcdowell, pros
porous farmer living in Eden, was tried
for the murder of Patrick Finnegan, a
neighboring farmer. The jury after hear
ing great mass OF evidence acquitted the
accused man. Mcdowell claims he killed
Finnegan in self-defence.
It was alleged by the state that Finne-
gan was killed in dispute over line fence.
For weeks-yes nonths-it is said the two
men wrangled over the boundary line over
their respective properties and the trouble
finally waxed into an open feud between
the two families. The story as told by
witness for the State is to the effect that
Finnegan started out one morning to do
some chopping in the woods which he
claimed was portion of his land. He
found his path barricaded by Mcdowell
together with his Oldest son. Witness at
the trial said the two men went at it
with axes" While the battle was at its
height, it was alleged, McDowell's boy
stepped up and hit Finnegan with an axe.
When he turned Mcdowell struck the ia
tai blow.

The recognition of the fact that he
was getting old, that he was missing
something in life that might make
him better and happier appealed to
+ him powerfully this Christmas eve.
He had mechanically distributed the
usual Christmas largesse at the office.
Homeward bound he had neglected no
appeal from the street mendicant.
This was not soul-satisfying, however.
1t had dawned upon him that he had
brought his isolation upon himself;
that there were at least two persons
in the great city who were of kith and
kin and he set to summing up the
duty he owed them.

Which of the two deserves recogni-
tion-Etta Harness or Alberta Norris?
The first named was a widow and
second cousin. Hughes had supplied
the capital to start her in a boarding
house at her urgent request and she
had managed to make living out of
it, For time he called and she had
put herself out to make upon him an
impression of admiration of his sue
cessful business record, of gratitude
for his financial cooperation, of her
love and devotion for him, the last
near relative she had In the world.
Then, too, she had appealed TO him
in a strong way. Once she had TAX
en- him to a draperied niche off the
sitting room, and had showed him a
life-sized oil painting of his dead
mother.
"She was like sister to me-" said

himself had made the receptacle, and
together they had given it to Mr.. Raj
ston on his last birthday. Eunice re-
moved some articles of apparel tender
~ and with care, placed them on a
chair and discovered some handker-
chiefs and three pairs of stockings
rolled up neatly. She took the top pair,
undid it and with satisfaction noted as
it unrolled that it was new and whole.
"Why, what can this bel" she ut
tered, as an envelope fell from the re-
leased folds. Her wonderment in

it unsealed and inside a written page

the depths of her soul, sne read:

Hughes was duly touched, but the
impression was not lasting. There
was something artificial and insincere
about Eta Harness. Under the influ-

An hour later he entered the home
of Mrs. Harness. He was told that she
was out on an errand and was shown
into sitting room. Involuntarily
memory directed him to the niche
where he had viewed his mothers por-
