STATE'SEVIDENCE
COMPLETED IN
FIRE CASE
Warren Perham Given
Hard Raking ON Cross
Examination

The evidence for the state was
completed in the Hardwick fire
case in county court Thursday
forenoon and the defense begun.
Warren Perham, the hired man,
who testified that he was hired to
burn the building by MIR. Parmen-
ter was on the witness stand all
Wednesday afternoon and was
rigidly cross-examined by Attor-
ney Conant.
In the course Of the long cross
examination it was brought out
that Perham was on friendly
terms with the Parmeter family,
especially with Mrs. Palmeter's
Is year old daughter, Martha
Reynolds, with whom he CORES
ponded and for whom he testified
he purchased wearing apparel, ko-
dak films, candy, corn plasters, etc.
He has corresponded with Martha
since he has been in st. Johnsbury
Jail.
1t is suggested by the line OF
questions asked by the defense
that Perham's real motive in burn
ing the buildings was not the mo-
tor cycle and cash which he said
Parmenter promised him if he
would do as told, but because this
daughter was not as responsive to
his advances as he wished, and
that he committed the crime for
which he has pleaded guilty in or
der to punish her for her seeming
indifference TO him.
Thursday morning Albert j.
Preble, the deputy state fire mar
shall, w. S. Ingalls, of Greensboro,
the local agent of the VT. Mutual
fire insurance company and Frank
Hall, chief of police, Hardwick,
were witnesses. They testified
concerning conversations had with
Mr.. Parmenter on his premises on
days after the fire. Mr.. Parmen-
ter said at that time that he had
received no notice that his insur-
ance was the to be cancelled. FIR.
Preble testified that "Parmenter
appeared disturbed and nervous"
On cross-cxamination it was
brought out that later Parmcnter
admitted that Attorney Darling
did say something to him about
the insurance being cancelled.
The deeds, mortgages and other
documentary evidence in the. case
was presented and completed the
direct evidence for the state
There were 25 of these exhibits.

Over Assault Case

HYDE PARK, Sept. 8-Rela-
tives of Miss Anna Williams. who
it is alleged was criminally as
saulted by Charles Wheeler, a far
mer Of Stowe, in whose home she
was employed as a housekeeper,
entered a civil suit here on Tues
day for $1,000 damages against

Feeling is running high through
out Lamoille county against the
alleged aSsailant, Miss Williams
still remains in a serious condition
at the poor farm where she was
taken after the assault. The af

by the minister following church
service on Sunday. 1t is under
stood that Wheeler has gone to
live with relatives some distance
way for fear he might be attacked

Four Runs in the

(By Perley J. Hill)
HAVERHILL, Mass, Sept

HAVERHILL, Mass, Sept. Z
King Bader got sweet revenge
Wednesday afternoon at Haverhill
when he piloted the Haverhlll
Pros to a strong victory over the
speedy Newport baseball team.
The knight of the shine ball was
never in any serious trouble on the
peak, and famed no less than Is
of Manager Mel Merlitt's Border
City ball tosSers. Newport failed
to score in the regulation nine inn
ings. The fracas thus ended 6 to
0 in favor of Raymie Skilton's ag-
gregation.
1t was Skilton who again placed
himself high in the estimation Of
the Haverhill fans. when he col
ided with one of big jeff Tes-
reau's choice offerings in the fifth
stanza, and propelled it on sim
mering career far into right field.
The gigantic clouts scored three
of Raymie's pals ahead Of him
w hlte, GalZel, and B8Cef. SkllCOI
had of late, been somewhat under
the banc Of the local fans but his
terrific circuit clout makes him
once again the idol of Haverhlll
,fandom.
Tesreau the Bear killer from
the Ozarks, pitched fine game in
every session except the fifth and
sixth, when the heavy hitting Bay
State artillery was wheeled in ac-
ton and worked havoc with Jeff's
offerings. If ever a twirler was
confronted with a tight situation
it was in the fifth inning, when
the bases were choked and jeff
was obliged to throw the sphere in
the groove for Raymie Skilton.
White and Camel had singled and
Bader had been issued a base on
balls, when IN came Sllilton, a
formidable sticker The count on
Raymie was three balls and one
