A review of the vital statistics for the first three months of the year shows that Sl residents of Plainvil.c died during that period, an increase Of more than one third over the cor responding months of the previous year, when 20 deaths occurred here. This years figure is believed to be the highest recorded here in a num- Der of years.
 During the present month, the mortality rate was ptionaly high, 13 deaths being recorded. From February 27 to March 7, the town was hard hit. one death taking place each day in regular success sion. During the month of March in 1929 only five residents passed on. Prominent doctors have stated on numerous occasions that the first three months of the year are con- sidered the most unhealthful and ,, that in many cases more deaths take place in this period than during the other nine months. This condition | IS prevalent about the country and is attributed to the constant chang ing of the weather.
 Although many of the deaths in Plainville so far this year have beeE among aged residents a large per- ccntage of persons under 45 years is included. Many of the deaths were sudden and the victims in cluded prominent men and women Of the town. Despite the high death rate. the general health of the town has been very good so far this year, although there has been a prevalence Of hard colds.

JURY WILL BEGIN
 WORK ON MURDER
Members Expected to Take O'LouShlin Case During Day

Denver, Colo, Dec. tF) - A jury today was expected to begin consideration of the fate of Mrs. Pearl OLoughlin, 3l, charged with the murder of her 0 year old step daughter, Leona.
 The step-mother faces a possible life sentence to the penitentiary, but not death on the galloNs. The jury was to receive the case at the con- clusion of final arguments.
 AS last effort to aid their client. counsel for Mrs. OLoughin said they would ask again for permission for her to address the jury before deliberations begin, without being subject to cross examination A similar request was denied Saturday.
 The states plan to ask the death penalty was blasted when the court ruled out as evidence the allegy1 confession Of Mrs. O'Loughlin 70 po- lice. Colorado law provides for capi- tai punishment only in the event of sn eye witness to the murder or a confession by the accused.
 Leona OLoughlin disappeared from her home the night of October IA. Three days later her body was found in Berkeley lake, located in Il city park,
