or heart.

day. especially the mother. Mr.. La

VICTIM OF
ELECTRICITY
William Millham Lost His
Life in Power Plant at
Montpelier
COMPANION
HEARD GROAN
And on Turning Saw Mill
ham Had Come in Con-
tact With Current

William Millham, aged about q
years, was electrocuted at the stock
room of the Montpelier and Barre
Light and Power company at Montpei-
ier about o'clock Tuesday afternoon
while he was working with Clarence
Lull repairing transformers. They had
been testing these ont. after doing
their work. and Mr.. Lull was in the
act of washing the oil from his hands
when he heard Millham groan and,
looking around he saw that the cleo
tricity had affected Millham He at
once gave an alarm and then com
menced first aid work.
The pulmotor was brought from the
office and it supplemented the artificial
respiration methods that Mr.. Lul had
been conducting. At first the young
man seemed to respond, according TO
the company's officials, to the efforts.
but his heart did not seem TO strength.
en- and an hours effort with the pull
motor failed to bring him back to life.
The men had been testing the trans,
formers in series.
The manner in which Millham lost
his life has not yet been established
unless it be that the switch was
thrown in and that one side Of the
series was hooked up and NIillham
started making the hitch on the other
side, completing the circuit. The elec.
tricity, 1900 volts, entered the young
mans body through his right hand
and went out of it in the lower leg,
indicating that the leg came in contact
with some grounding but the men
were working on a dry wood floor.
The young man, who had been EN-.
ployed by the company since last
March. was well liked by his compan.
ions But little is known here of his
family excepting that his mother was
visiting in St. George and that an au-
tomobile was sent TO advise her of the
death. Millham came here from Rich.
mond. His father was killed something
like q year ago by an explosion Of ,
gasoline motor. He also has brother,
who was employed by the company at
one time The body willfbe taken to
Richmond for funeral.

at Brownsville at an Armistice day
celebration and he may go into the
city early and try out the country

High.

Paris. Nov. l0.-Reports from dis
interested military observers at Sc.
bastopol state that the recent retreat
of General Wrangefs army into the
Crimea was accomplished with notable

SETTLE LUNDY CASE TOMORROW
Court to Decide on Custody Of 1oYear-
Old Girl.

II is expected that the matter of the
custody of the l0-year rold Llindy child
will be disposed of in Washington
county court tomorrow. AT noon to-
day the court ordered Hargeous Lun-
dy, the father, to pay Mrs. Lundy $3.50
on or before o'clock a. m. tomorrow
and gave the custody of the child to
the mother until that time. Attorney
+. l.. Laird, acting for Mrs. Lundy,
filed motion to-day that Mr. Lundy
be adjudged in contempt, but the court
did not decide that matter.
There was considerable weeping in
court yesterday afternoon when the
court took up the case of the child
Mrs Lundy. mother of the child, wept
when she saw the child for the first
time in four years and the child did
not know her mother. Mrs. Lundy was
so grieved that she left the courtroom,
but was soon brought back. The case
of the Lundy family, who are colored
people, has been in court so often that
it has attracted considerable atten-
tion.
When the case started the court
learned for the first time that the girl
had been in Petersburg, Va, with an
aunt, and that she returned to Barre
Monday evening. The girl took the
witness stand yesterday afternoon.
Considerable time was required to
qualify her as witness as the girl
did not understand the meaning of
the oath. The oath was administered
couple of times before she qualified.
Then she answered questions very
well for a child of her age and under
the embarrassment of the situation.
The girl told of good treatment at
her aunt's home in Virginia, that she
went TO day school and Sunday school.
The girl did not remember her mother.
After long questioning the little girl
broke down and cried. so that she was
taken from the stand. The aunt, Mrs.
Morgan, tried to answer for the child
now and then and was called up short
by the court. Later Mrs. Morgan was
placed on the stand and she recited de-
tails much like those told by the
child except that she went more into
details of the home life in Peters
burg
Hargeous Lundy of Barre, who is
striving to retain custody of the girl,
showed considerable animosity when
called TO the stand. 1t was brought out
in cross examination that when Lundy
was in states prison Mrs lAIndy
wrote him as to the whereabouts OF
their daughter and got a reply that the
girl was in one of two places. Lundy
denied that present from Mrs. Lun-
DIV had been received by the girl.
II had been brought out in Mrs.
Morgan's testimony that Mrs. Lundy,
who lives in Chicago, employed a de-
tective to find the child and that the
attorney in Chicago represented that
some money was going to the child.
1t is understood that because the at
torney in Chicago did not turn over
certain correspondence between an at
torney in Montpelier and the Chica-
go lawyer a $4,000 suit has been
brought against the Chicago man and
certain evidence placed in the district
ATTORNEYS hands.
