Bellows Falls Hospital Au-
thorities Wonder About
Case of Mrs. Stearns
BELLOWS FALLS, Oct. 4.

BELLOWS FALLS, Oct. f.
Who is to pay the bills? Who is re-
sponsible for the heavy medical expense
of Mrs. Lynn L. Stearns, indicted in
this county for the murder of her hus-
band March 80 and who has lain in the
local hospital since that date suffering
from broken leg from leaping from a
third story window after the shooting!
Is the responsibility with the state of
Vermont. Windham county, the town of
Rockingham. or the town of Fairlee
where she had legal residence? The
charges are now about $4,000 and moth
ing has been paid The major part of
the bill is the hospital care and the sur
geons who have operated number OF
times.
An familiar with the circumstances
have supposed the state was to pay, as
Mrs. Stearns is under indictment and
supposed to be in the custody of the
state the same as if in jail. The states
attorney and sheriff have directed every
thing regarding her care, and their in
structions have been carried out in every
particular by the hospital and surgeons.
Now state officials Seem non-cOmmittal,
and as the condition of the woman indi-
Gates many weeks more of expense it is
a live question among those interested
in the hospital where the money will
come from.
Mrs. Stearns is a mulatto. Her hus-
band was shot March 30 i'll the third
story of a dwelling on Green street in

Who VIII Pay Expenses of
Woman Indicted for Murder !?

Bellows Falls, she leaping from the win
dow of the room where the shooting was
done to the icy ground below, breaking
her leg above the knee. Both the hus-
band and wife were removed to the hos
pital by order of the physician who was
called. Mr.. Stearns died in a few hours.
The sheriff and states attorney at once
investigated and placed Mrs. Stearns
under arrest. directing close surveillance
night and day by special nurses to see
that she did not escape and that she had
no opportunity TO commit suicide. The
bone not uniting was reset several times.
and after several weeks a silver plate
was placed upon it to hold it together.
A month ago it was found that union of
the bone had taken place and the plate
was removed, but the bone has become
diseased and il is probable she will never
recover the use of the leg. 1t can now
be moved only a little and with great
pain, so it is impossible to have her
tried at the present term OF court, and
her being able to help herself in any
manner seems as indefinite as several
months ago.
A month ago the special nurses and
caretakers were discontinued, and she
was moved from private room to the
general ward, thus materially reducing
the expense, but the question is much
debated between interested parties as to
where the responsibility rests for the
unusually large expense directed by state
officials, but now evaded.
1t is understood that the couple had
some property, and some insurance
which was cared for by state officials.
The only daughter, who resides in Leba-
non. \. H., has been a frequent visitor
upon her mother, and her marriage,
which was supposed to be the basis of
disagreement between Mr.. and Mrs.
Stearns. was consummated in Lebanon
only a few weeks ago.
