SHOT FIRED
INTO TRAIN
Bearing Persons Connected
With Sacco-Vanzetti

fired through window of railroad
ear in which persons connected with

inquiry to-day.
As the train was at Highland sta
tion, about three and one-half miles
from Dedham, bullet broke window
in the smoking car, passing near an
investigator for thes defense and two
telegraph operators. There was moth
ing to connect the incident with any
BODY on the train or with the Sacco-
Vanzetti trial as far as could be as
certained, officials said.
Cross examination of James E.
Burns, firearms expert, who is testi-
fying for the defense, continued this
morning. Burns yesterday said that
the bullet which killed Alessandro Ber-
ardelli, a paymaster's guard, was not
fired from the weapon found on Nicola
Saeco when he was arrested.
James Fitzgerald, for number OF
years pistol expert in an arms and
factory, testified also that
he believed the bullet which killed
BerardeIli was not fired by Saceo's
pistol
He said that certain marks on the
Berardelli death bullet differed from
on bullets fired from Saceos
IN
Both Fitzgerald and Burns testified
that the hammer in the revolver taken
from Vanzetti when arrested showed
as much use as the rest OF the gun.
A gunsmith previously testified for
the state that the Nanzetti weapon
had a new hammer, after Mrs. Berar-
iell said her husband had left his re-
volver with gunsmith for replace
ment of that part.

of her marriage to Lord Randolph
Churchill took keen interest in po-
litical affairs. This interest did not
cease with the death of Lord Randolph
Churchill in 1895 and her influence
upon the career Of her son, Winston
Spencer Churchill. now secretary of
state for the colonies, has been gener
ally set down as of no small impor
tance.
She was thrice married, her second
occurring in 1909 to Lieuten
ant George Corvallis West, her jun
or by many years. They were di-
vorced in 1914, CORVALLIS West at
once marrying Mrs. Pat Campbell, the
actress. Her third marriage occurred
N 1918 to Montagu Porch, a British
lrmy officer.
Lady Randolph Churchill was born 81
years ago. She was the daughter of

The grand and glorious Fourth is to

And when they say x-service men

not and also all veterans of any of the
former wars of the United States.
After the luncheon at the Legion
rooms and promptly at IL o'clock the
big noise will start with big bonfire.
Arrangements are being made so that
the proper permission will be secured
for such a fire and very necessarily to
see to it that the proper material is Sc
cured to produce the biggest and
brightest blaze. 1t is the desire of the
committee that every ex-service man
who can will make a special effort TO
be at the Legion rooms in time for the
luncheon and for a social half hour be-
fore the Fourth is formally opened in
a royal manner.

State Board of y ls.th Pro-

and Fl .s,,g
WARNING SiNs
TT f.S5E PLACED
Barre Board of Aldermen
to Cooperate In Health
Measure

The state board of health has issued
an order prohibiting boating, bathing
and hshing in the sources of Barre's
city water supply, that order being
similar to orders recently issued in
relation to water supplies of other
communities in Vermont. This action
was taken on petition of the Barre
city council because of desire to keep
the water supply free from possible
contamination and not because there
had already been much danger to pub
lc health as the result of carelessness
on the part of individuals.
The sources of Barre water are
brooks and none of them large enough
to furnish much chance for boating
and bathing, although the fishing op-
portunities might be good. The reser
volrs, however, are large enough for
boating and bathing if any person
should so far forget their response
bility as to indulge in such action in
the city's drinking water.
In order to make more public the
order of the state board of health.
warning signs will be placed at con
spicuous places near the reservoirs and
sources of supply, following out the
suggestion made to the city council by
the state board of health. The report
OF the state board was read at the
meeting of the aldermen last night,
and the recommendations we're order
ed carried out.
Besides the hearing of that report,
the aldermen approved an agreement
between the city and Mrs. Ellen Cor
rigan TO become matron of the city
poor farm TO succeed Mrs. Meyette,
at wages of $50 per week.
