NEW EVIDENCE AT
ARBUCKLE HEARING

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. "a
Miss Virginia Rappe showed sym
toms of an internal injury immed-
lately after she was stricken, fol-
lowing the party in Roscoe Ar
buckles rooms and whatever evil
dcnce there may have been of al
coholiSm were overshadowed by
her injuries, declared DR.. Arthur
Beardslee, house physician of the
Hotel st. Francis, in a statement
made to assistant district attorney
U'Ren today. DR.. Beardslee treat
ed Miss Rappe in the early stages
of her illness. The preliminary
hearing of Arbuckle on a charge
Of murder, in connection with the
death of Miss Rappe, entered its

Lawes, told Detective Captain
Sullivan today that Mrs. Lawes
had once before threatened her
life. Mrs. Lawes killed herself
after shooting Miss Hanan.
Sullivan sa id Miss Hanan had
whispered to him that Mrs.
Lawes had met her face to face on
Park avenue a week or ten days
ago and made the death threat.
Physicians today said that Miss
Hanan was holding her own. Miss
Hanan was shot as she was leav-
ing the apartment of a friend in
Brooklyn with John S. Borland
The motive or motives back of the
shooting remained somewhat
clouded in mystery. The theory
of jcalously because of Borland's
attentions to Miss Hanan advanc-
ed by the police was repudiated
by Borland, by Miss Hanan and by
Mrs. Lawes' sister, Mrs. M. E.
Dittmar, in SanFrancisco. They
expressed the belief that she had
been temporarily deranged by use
of drugs and liquor. Mrs. Lawes
blamed "high life" and liquor,
which she said was "driving her
crazy in a letter to a friend. but
the letter limited at truth"
back of these causes.
Miss Hanan admitted she bad
quarrelled recently with Mrs.
Lawes, though she did not give the
cause. Miss Dorothy Gottschalk,
before whose home the shooting
occurred, said Mrs. Lawes denied
that she was in love with Borland
or jealous of his attentions to Miss
Hanan.
The stories of the tragedy and
the events preceding it tol by the
injured girl and Borland, Dart
mouth grauate, coincided closely,
with Miss Dorothy Gottschalk,
Miss Hanan told detectives she
and Borland had dincd at her
home in one of the most exclusive
residential districts of Manhattan.
At IL that night, she said, she
and Borland drove Miss Colts
chalk to her home in Schermer-
horn st, Brooklyn, where they

rRanlZatlOn-Lnc 1UlSt Amfnuni-

product of the patriotism of New
England and particularly Yer
mont and Massachusetts, were re-
ceived and welcomed into the pri-
vate homes of Newport citizens on
Friday afternoon and evening.
The first reunion was held in
Boston last year. Thus Newport
feels justly proud to be chosen as
the rendezvous of the 101st Am
munition Train.
Col. William ]. keville, COM
mander of the famous Train, is
present at the reunion and stated
Friday evening at the big informal
dance in the new Armory that he
was going to remain until the last
gun was fired. Col. kelville is
accompanied by Mrs. Keville and

TRUCK GOES
THROUGH EAST
BARNET BRIDGE
Failed to Take Temporary
Structure and Still In
JOe's Brook

A big truck bound from st.
Johnsbury to Boston and heavily
loaded with der1icks and other
through the bridge over Joe's
construction material went
through the bridge over Joe's
brook on the Barnet road at about
7.30 Saturday morning. -Four men
riding in the truck were uninjur-
ed and the truck had not been re-
moved from the brook at noon.
The bridge was being taken down
bv the Caledonia Cement Con-
struction Co., to be replaced by a
concrete structure and a tempor-
airy bridge was beinc built. The
sides of the old wooden bridge had
been taken away and two men
were working under the bridge
when they heard the bi truck COM
ing down the road at good
speed. They barely had time to
escape before the truck struck the
bridge and crashed through the
stringers to the water. The for
ward wheels of the Kelley truck
are on the embankment and the
rear wheels are in the water which
is unusually low at this time.
The Selectmen and the officials
of the construction company that
is building the bridge were notified
of the accident and have been in
at the bridge through
the morning.
1t was impossible to learn the
owner of the truck that caused
the accident though it is said it
was Boston concern. 1t is be-
lieved the truck was going SO fast
that the driver did not notice that
a detour should be made.

Train veterans. About 1oj
couples enjoyed the good music
until a late hour.
Members of the 101st Ammu-
nition Train have been arriving
since Thursday night. Each train
that stopped at Newport brought
its quota of veterans. BY the time
the outing winds up this evening,
it is expected that as many as 230
members shall have arrived.
Prominent guests included: Ma
jor and Mrs. Frederic J. Adams
of Bridgeport, CT; Major and
Mrs. Jerold M. Ashley of Burling-
ton, Major and Mrs. H. Stanley
Cushing OF Medford, Mass,
Chaplain and Mrs. c. A. Adams

Cleveland, Ohio, to attend the re-
union.
The following poem, written by
a Vermont boy in France is vivid
description of the work of the
101st Ammunition Train. Edward

PIERCE LOST
TO LYNDON
INSTITUTE
Efficient Back Fractures
Leg and Will Be Out
All Year

On the eve of the seasons open
ing struggle, the important con-
test with st. Johnsbury Academy
which will be staged this after
noon, the Lyndon Institute foot
ball team has suffered body
blow-the loss, through accident,
of Pierce, husky and capable full
back and unquestionably the
schools biggest factor so far as
defense is concerned. Pierce sus-
tanned fractured leg in scrim-
mage early this week which will
keep him out Of the game for sey-
cral weeks and possibly the en-
tire season.
But in spite of this catastrophe
and it may justly be termeu a
disaster-which caused grief
throughout the ranks of players,
Lyndon Institute is plugging right
along. Coach Cecil A. peanut"
Burns well known athlete and rec
ognized as an efficient leader of
school athletics is keeping ,.-e
boys SO busy that they have no
time to consider their tremendous
loss. Russell Woods, the heavi-
est man on the eleven, who tips
the scales at 178 pounds, has
jumped in and to a large degree
filled up the deep gap left by
Pierce. 1t will take a little time
before Woods masters all that
Pierce knew about playing tnat
particular position, but he is
learning fast and Leader Burns
expects good results.
A Calcdonian-Record sporting
writer had an opportunity to look
the youngsters over while they
were engaging in their regular af-
ternoon practice on Friday and
he can truthfully say that Lynaon
Institute has a team this year
which will cause plenty of
trouble for any outfit in the
state. And this statement is made
in view of the knowledge of the
big hole left by Pierce. The boys,
in practice, did not appear any
too good until they got into d
