penitentiary sentence for the first
degree murder of her father.
"The judgment again OF this court

she put her handkerchief to her eyes.
Sixty Days for Appeal.
The court granted the defense go

Wednesday morning we got UP at
1880 and left camp at 1000 A. M.
Some Of us decided to go on the
taxi trip through the points Of in
terest, and others decided to walk.
Several went on the Maid o. the
Mist" the boat that takes persons
to the foot of the falls. Others went
down to the Gave Of the Winds"
Those who went said 1t was Won
derful trip.
We, who went by taxi, entered
Canada at exactly 1922 p. M. While
on the bridge going into Canada,
we saw rowboats looking for the
body Of some person who had
jumped or fallen over the falls
about forty-flve minutes before.
On the Canadian side we took
pictures and sent postcards. The
driver Of the taxi pointed out to us
an old barge still caught on some
rocks above the falls. Almost twenty
years ago 1t was carried down the
river at night with two men asleep
that 1t was stopped by those rocks.
on 1t. They were certainly lucky
As 1t was, about thirty-six hours
passed before they were rescued.
Another very interesting place we
visited In Canada was the Burning
Spring, This spring blazed UP In
flames when match was lit to 1t,
yet the flames did not burn ones
hand, nor would 1t burn q hand
kerchief, yet the room became warm
from the flames. The man explain
ing 1t then put out the flames,
filled glasses with the water and
gave 1t to us to drink. The water
was cold but had a taste of sulphur
in 1t. After we finished drinking the
man took our glasses and lit the
drops Of water left on the glasses.
1t was all very fascinating.
We finished UP the day by going
through the Shredded Wheat fac
tory. After that we set out once
more. That night we cainped In
Eggertsville, just outside Of Buffalo.
We set up camp right In the yard
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Huffman, our
scoutmasters parents. The time was
500 p. NJ. All were tired, SO 1t was
but short time before all were In
bed at the end of what proved to
be the busiest day Of the whole

Of us played fiorseshoes. Milt then

time to stop at the lake. The "Old

staying there a short time we went

mile after mile Of fruit orchards
apple, peach, pear, plum and cherry
At 1l:00 A. M. we passed by the
Eastman Kodak Company in Roch-

Just outside of Rochester we
passed barns and trees that were

identity from recent wind-storm.
We first sighted Canada at 3:15

Camp Moss, the Niagara Falls Coun-

visited Niagara River where we saw
Devils Hole, the whirlpool, and the
cable car going over the whirlpool.
As soon as 1t became dark we Wis
tied Niagara Falls, which were H.
Illuminated by colored lights. We
stayed until the colored lights went

8:45 q. m. The bus proved to be
about 1902 more comfortable than
the other one, and some Of the boys
went to sleep In 1t while we were
riding. About 1880 a. m. we en-
tered New York state for the first

Chanplain canal locks. They were
the first locks that I had ever seen,

Buffalo, along the Niagara River.
During a great part OF our ride
Canada was visible on the other side
of the river. When we arrived In
the center Of Buffalo 1t was the
first time that I had ever seen any
buildings over ten stories high. Here
we had dinner in the Waldorf. After
dinner we went to the top of the
electric building. From there we got
wonderful view Of the city. Also
visible were the Niagara River and
Lake Erie. Following this we went

lof the First Congregational church
about seven a. m. We all received
our pith helmets which we were
to wear during the whole trip. BY
the time the packing was done and
all the small details attended to, 1t
was after eight o'clock. The bus left
the center at $40 q. m. and stopped
at the gas station opposite Crosby
High School at 800 a. m. Soon we
started again, and, as our route was
taking us through Bristol by way of
Wolcott the bus went by my house
on Wolcott street at $3.50 and by my
grandmother's house on Wolcott
street in Bristol at $3.50. From there
our route took us through Avon and
CRANKY. At 9:45 q. m we crossed
the state line into Massachusetts,
on the way to Westfield, Mass. That
was the first time that I had ever
been outside Of Connecticut. From
CRANKY, Conn. to Westfield, Mass,
especially, we saw many tobacco
fields.
From Westfleld on for many miles,
we saw great fields of onions. After
Westfield, the most important places
we went through were Northamp-
ton and Greenfield, Mass. At 1870
p. m. we crossed the state line into
Vermont, having stopped earlier in
Massachusetts for our lunch. The
only important places we passed
through in Vermont were BrattleA
boro and Bellows Falls.
At Bellows Falls we crossed the
Connecticut river into New Hamp-
shire, the time being 2:55 p. m. In
New Hampshire we were delayed for
a short time in Newport. During this
delay, most of us went to stores
where we bought refreshments, films,
postcards and other small souvenirs.
| In a short while we left on the
way to Lake Winnipesaukee through
Franklin and Laconia. At the lake
we camped at Bay View, a short
way from The Weirs. AS 1t was
rather late when we got there (hav-
ing travelled about 228 miles,, we
had no campfire. After setting up
the tents and eating we went to
bed, at ten o'clock to be exact.
Later on in the trip we received
by mail several copies Of a Laconia
newspaper. We were surprised to see
that the headlines in the paper told
about the troop passing through the
town, and a whole column on the
first page told about our trip.
Saw remains of damage caused by
