A1uuED aiis Iiro 4,ruvu IN 1907
Trial One of Most Spectacular in
History Of County
Court

Alfred Ma.han, serving life sem
tence in the state prison at Windsor,
following his conviction of one of the
most shocking crimes in the history
of Bennington county, has verified
the contention of his counsel at the
trial that the murderer was not
mentally fit to undergo the death
penalty.
Mahan is now in solitary confne-
ment at Windsor as the result of a
vicious attack with knife Wednes'
day upon a school girl near the
prison. The victim of the assault is
Grace Mol, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John Moll and she was cut about the
face with a knife which Mahan car
ried in his pocket.
On the day OF the attack Mahan
was at work with trusty gang near
the prison Meadow. Miss Moll was
on her way from the high school to
the prison factory in which she had
been working after school hours.
When Mahan made his attack upon
Miss Moll he was screened from
other members Of the trusty gang by
a knoll so that there were no wit
nesses of the assault. The girl hur-
ried bleeding to the mill where sne
was given medical attention and
where he later identified Mahan as
ner assailant.
Mahan was convicted at Decem'
her 1907 term OF Bennington county
court Of killing his six-year-old niece.
Ethel Mahan, the daughter OF his
brother. German Mshan of North
Bennington The crime was commit
ted at an isolated spot near Lake
Paran and because Of its unusual
atrociousness created a sensation
throughout the state. After his ar
rest Mahan confessed that he cut
the child throat with razor
At the trial Hon. o. NJ. Barber, now
Judge of the United States court OF
customs appeals, was assigned as
counsel for the respondent and with
The assistance of Robert +. Healy
and Judge f. II Holden, made a de-
'-rso that has ever since been re-
er~dtd IA masterpiece by attorneys
ard otAs.s who heard the testimony.
The late Clark c. Fits was then at
torney general and although the
prosecution was vigorously conduct
ed the defence succeeded in securing
a verdict of murder in the second
degree. Mahan's confession, which
was made to Judge E. L. Bates in
the county jail, was placed in evil
dence but the murderer did not go
on the stand in his own behalf
