" TALKED ABOUT IN WESTERLY Testimony Taken in Murder Case—Benjamin Hunt& Pleads Not Guilty—Held in $1000 Bonds—QOpzning of St. Michael’s Parish Eazaar—Mrs. Susan A. P. Babcock. 89, Dies at Clark’s Falls. Tye taking of testimony was com- menved Thursday morning in the su- perior court for Washington county in the case against Bieni Gravagreer, charged with the murder of Joseph Brigham. Harold James, a young at- torney of Providence, was assigned as counsel for defence and was present at the empanelling of the jury and ac- companied the jurors and counsel for the state in taking view of the prem- ises. Judge Rathbun decided to strengthen counsel for accused and decided to assigsn Attorney A. T. L. Ledwidge of Westerly to take charge of the case. Mr. Ledwidge made his first appearance in the case Thursday morning and conducted the cross ex- amination. Although at the disadvan- tage of unfamiliarity with the case, he conducted the defence with his us- ual skill and acknowledged legal abil- ity. District Attorney Henry P. Cross is assisted by Frederick C. Olney in the prosecution. At the preliminary hearing, it was chown that Brigham was shot and Iilled while sleeping in bed with his son Wilford, age 15, a lighted lamp In the bedroom aiding the murderer to select his victim, Soon after the mur- der, Sheriff John R, Wilcox was call- ed. He found footprints near the win- dow and traced them to the Jobnson farm, where Cravagreer was arrested. He told conflicting stories and a shot- gun, recently used, was found in a nearby building. Cravagreer has stoutly maintained his innocence, and the evidence is of a circumstantial na- ture. The evidence Thursday showed that there had been dispute between Brigham and Cravagreer, both of whom were farmhands, and that Crav agreer, who was a boarder at the Brig- ham house, was ordered away, it being intimated that he paid attentions to Mrs. Brigham that were disagreeable to the husband. Mrs. Brigham was not at home at the time of the murder and was sald to be on a visit to relatives in Merilen. Cravagreer is a short and stocky Polander, but has a fair un- derstanding of the English language. He insists he is a victim of circum- stances that are difficult of satisfac- Lmi( explanation, - 'he jurors were taken Wednesday afternoon under escort of Sheriff Wil- cox and Deputy Sheriff Frederick T. Mitchell to view the scene of the murder. They were driven to the Mc- Sparran hill, a farming section about three miles from Wakefleld in South Kmxmnh ‘They were shown the room that Brigham occupied when shot, the bed and its relation to the broken window pane through which the fatal shot was fired. The party then went over the road taken by Sheriff Wilcox in tracking the alleged murderer on the morning of the shooting to the Jobnson farm on Boston neck, where Cravagreer was arrested. They were shown the old building where the gun was found, and other points in connec- tion with the case. The jurymen will be kept together in the custody of a deputy sheriff un- til the trial of the case is completed, and be quartered at the Wakefield ho- tel when not in the courthouse at West Kingston. It is probable that the te timony will be completed when court is adjourned for the weeck. Abby K. Sweet of Exeter, pleaded suilty to maintaining a liquor license. Upon recommendation of the assistant attorney general, sentence was sus- pended upon payment of costs. Benjamin Hunter pleaded not guilty to the indictment charging him with assaulting Joseph Sullivan with a dan- gerous weapon. He furnished a bond of $1,000 for appearance when wanted.
