Friday night and performed the au-
topsy on the body of Mrs. Symes at

morning. The examination showed
that MI .Symes must have fired

embedded in the flesh in the back of
the body. She was shot directly

Johnsbury Inn where he had room.
He asked Mr.. Watson day or two

Just after dinner Mr.. Symes entered
Landlord Watson's bedroom and
taking the revolver from the wall
started for the home Of his wife.
After he had shot his wife he went
to the home of Mrs. Cora Brigham
on Bagley street where his sister,
Mrs. Eliza Bradley of Passumpsic
had been visiting. He came into the
house quite excited and Immediately

WARD PR0UT'Y
PLACED ON
PROBATION

Blair-GreensbOr0 Man
Sentenced

After a session of ten days during
which time five jury cases, a record
number, were tried, the September
term of Orleans County Court, was
adjourned Friday evening at o'clock
Court will open again in March when
the spring tcrra begins.
Ward Prouty appeared in court
Friday afternoon and receive his
sentence which was exactly the same
as that Of Charles Blair. He was Civ
en- a fine of $3.50 and costs and not
less than two or more than three
monthe at hard labor at the House
of Correction at Windsor. The pris-
on Sentence is suspended and Prouty
placed in the hands Of the probation
officer until further order of the
court.
Prouty attempted to have the veT-
dict CT the jury which found him gull
ty of striking his motherin-law, set
aside on the grounds that the jury
was impanelled before nc or his coun-
sci had entered any plea in the case
ne jury, Pfouty AYERS dlu not KNOW
what case it was to hear until after
it had been impanel!ed and sworn.
The court decided Prouty waived
his right TO have the verdict set aside
when he consented to be tried, anC
consequently over-rulel the motion,
but allowed exceptions, which he ask
ed for.
1t is considered quite likely now
that Prouty will carry his case to
the supreme court.
