WOODWARD QUICKLY
FREED OF CHARGE
STEALING RIFLE

Middlebury, VT, May 14.--(AP)-A
jury in the Addison county court to-
day spent only seven minutes in DELHI
GRAFTON before finding Earl Woodward
OF Warren, farmland and ex-convict,
not guilty of larceny. The charge
against Woodward had to do with a
rifle valued at $40 which he took from
the home Of Walter Chatterton in
Granville when he fed with Chatter
tons 11-year-old daughter Lucille
April "a. He will be tried next Tues
day on the charge of kidnapping.
When Woodward was captured after
he had wandered with the child seven
days and nights through the wooded
mountain townships, he said he had
taken Lucille away from unhappy
home surroundings in order that she
might have an education. He said he
took heavy horse blanket belonging
to Chatterton to wrap the girl up at
night, and the rifle was to be used If
wild animals were encountered in the
journey. Since Woodwards arrest Luz
ellie has been ward of the state.
Lucille was called as witness to-
day. She said her father had told
Woodward, who was employed at their
farm, that he might use the rifle at
any time, and that the day they left
Chaterton had seen Woodward take it
down from it's straps on the kitchen
wall. She said that in the course of
their long tramp Woodward used the
rifle only once. On that occasion he
shot at a partridge and missed. She
said Woodward had told her he intend
ed to return the gun as soon as they
reached White River Junction.
Roy Freeman, who traded the rife
to Chatterton in exchange for some
potatoes, was a witness, and the girls
father also testified. The case was
given to the jury at noon and after the
luncheon recess the verdict was reach
ed in a few minutes.

French Professor
Lecturer Thursday
At BOwdOin College

\OpCSidi " Tie heilIleUeC JOuTldl)
Brunswick, Me-, May 14-Prof. Ed
mond Esteve, professor of Literature
at the University of Nancy, France,
who is now exchange professor at
Harvard where he is giving course
in Alfred DeWigmy, as was the lee
turer in the Bowdoin Institute = Of
taking as his subject Longfellow's
literary influence and position in
France. He spoke in French, the
dents of that language.
He said: 1T was about 1880 and
by Evangeline that the reputation of
Longfellow really began in France.
The articles of Philarite Charles and
of Emile Montegu made his name
and his talent known to the public.
His most important works have been
translated in French often and by
many translators. There can be
counted at least ten TRANSACTIONS of
Evangeline which is the most pop
uIar poem of Longfellow in France
and it is explained and commented
on in the Lycees and the colleges
as one of the classics Of American
literature. Many French poets have
read the verses of Longfellow and
have translated them, especially the
Psalm of Life and Excelsior. In the
works of several of them. of Sully
Prudhomm and of Baudelsire one
finds passages which seem inspired
and which have really been inspired
by Longfellow. Longfellow remains
in the eyes of the French one of the
most noble representatives of Amer
lean idealism and according to the
words of a critic they compare him
in their admiration with three of
their poets of whom he makes them
think, that is to say with Lamartine,
with Victor Delaprede and with Mis-
trail"
Prof. Esteve was introduced by
President Kenneth c. M. Stills, who
spoke both in English and French.
