Helen Irene Guillow, Bennington nurse,
whose love. the state charges led Byron
Madison Pettibone to murder his wife,
testified for the state Saturday.
The accused did not look upon the girl

time his wife died Nor did she glance
toward him, but she testified without a
auaver in her voice and with her face
turned defantly toward the states prose
cutors.
Miss Guillow testified that she had
illicit relations with Pettibone when she
was his nurse at the Troy hospital and
that when he went to her home at Sodom

pied room which adjoined her own bed
room. Though other members of her
family were in the house, she was inti-
mate with Pettibone.
The states most damaging charge that
Pettibone made statement in which he
acknowledged that he stole the strych-
nine which he afterwards put into dose
of salts mixed for his wife, was presented
through the oral testimony of the state
attorney. He declared that Pettibone
told him, in the presence of a stenogra
pher and other persons, that he took the
strychnine from the prescription shelf
in the Ward drug store.
He said Pettibone told him he mixed
three doses of salts and that he added
the strycfnine to that which he intended
his wife should drink
All through the story ran the horrify-
ing assertion. attributed to the defend
ant, that after his wife took the fatal
dose and Joined him in bed, he caressed
her and permitted her to kiss him. When
his scheme was carried out, and he came
back to the bedroom door to watch her
die, the states witness maintained he re-
entered the room and kissed her dead
face.

TO BE CHARGED
WITH ABDUCTION
d. J. DeCamp Brought to Bellows Falls
From Canada-Disappeare with
Woman and Her Baby.

States Attorney Ernest W. Gibson
went to Bellows Falls this afternoon to
have d. J. DeCamp arraigned before
Judge Thomas f. OBrien in the Bellows
Falls municipal court on the charge of
abduction. DeCamp was brought to Bel
lows Falls yesterday morning by Deputy
Sheriff George p. Alexander of Saxtous
River, who took him at the Canadian
line, DeCamp having been deported from
Canada. Deputy Sheriff Alexander did a
good piece of detective work in tracing
DeCamp.
DeCamp formerly boarded at the home
of Edward McQuaide of Cambridgeport
who is mechanic. About month ago
McQuaide became suspicious of his wife
and DeCamp and ordered DeCamp to
leave, which he did. few days later
when McQuaidc returned home from his
work his wife and baby had disap-
peared. His baby carriage was found be
side the road.
McQuaide suspected that DeCamp had
gone with them and reported the facts
as far as he knew to the states attorney
An investigation was started. which re-
suited in the issuance of a warrant for
DeCamp on the charge of abduction. 1t
IS claimed that he went to Springfield
W.T., hired an automobile and drove to
Cambridgeport, where he took in Mrs.
McQuaide and baby
It was found that DeCamp shipped a
monograph which he had in his room to
Greenfield, Mass. From there it was
shipped to Montreal, and through tracing
the phonograph DeCamp was located in
Quebec and was arrested
1t is expected that federal officers viii
want DeCamp on the charge of violating
the Mann act.

Increase of Two Cents a
Quart to Retail
Customers
WHOLESALE RATE
ALSO ADVANCES
Second Advance by Producers Since
Retailers Have Advanced - Meeting
of Distributors Last Saturday Night
Discussed Situation.

An increase of two cents a quart for
milk viii be made by some, if not all,
of the retail milk dealers in Brattleboro
beginning Aug. l, making the price Is
cents quart for poured milk and 16
for bottled milk This advance has
been made necessary through an advance
of one cent a quart made by the pro-
ducers to the retailers and the increas-
ing cost of labor and equipment.
Cream doubtless win be advanced by
the retailers from 10 cents a half
pint to 20 cents a half pint.
The increase was decided upon by
the producers through their marketing
committee. Warner A. Thomas, Charles
A Whipple and Luther J. Stockwell,
who had realized for several weeks that
the Brattleboro market has been some
what short, due to the fact that in
creased labor, feed and equipment prices
have made the business less and
less profitable to the producers The
committee, which was elected last win
ter at mass meeting of the 46 pro-
ducers who supply milk and cream
for Brattleboro, met last week to go
over the situation and called in Frank
B. Richardson to act as advisor. The
advance of one cent a quart wRs de-
cided upon and circular letter was
mailed TO all the producers, a copy of
the letter being sent also to each of
the IA peddlers in Brattleboro. The let
ter stated that the increase would be-
come effective Aug. /. when milk would
be advanced from nine cents to 10
cents a quart, and cream from 50 cents
to 60 cents quart. The 10-cent price
for milk is the same which is being
paid producers who send to the Bos-
ton, Springfield and other New England
markets. This is the first advance since
Aug. /, 1919.
The peddlers met Saturday night to
discuss retail prices which would con-
form with the advance made to them
by the farmers, but due to the strong
competition between retailers no de.
eision was reached. An interview with
some of the dealers this morning, how
ever, indicates that while no prices
are being stated definitely it is expected
that the prices for poured and bottled
milk viii be Is and 16 cents, which is
two cents quart more for each than
at present. 1t viii be remembered that
tIe IdSl duNdAlCt ny aIuc pIOuuCci
to the retailer was merely handed on
to the consumer with no additional ad-
vance by the retailer to give him larger
margin for increased costs of labor and
equipment, and the two-cent advance
against the producers one-cent ad- i
vance. therefore seems to both produc-
ers and retailers to be justified
Brattleboro consumers use between
1900 and $500 quarts of milk daily,
and it is the desire of the farmers to
maintain the price of milk where the
consumers can use it as a large part
of the home food supply. 1t is COM s
monty said in large cities that the in
crease in price of one cent quart de-
ereases the amount used by consumers
approximately 10 per cent. From this
principle of loss of business it is plain

BLESSINGS OF LIFE

He that loses his conscience has nothing left that is worth keeping. And in the next place look to your health; and if you have it praise God and value it next to good conscience, for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of--a blessing money can not buy. And as for mon- ey, which may be said to be. the third blessing, neglect it not, but note that there is no necessity of being rich, for there are as many miseries beyond riches as on this side of them; and if you have competence enjoy it with a meek, cheerful, thankfuk1eart.--Izaak Walton.
