Dr. Senior was arraign- ed on these two serious "Two ‘weeks ago and pleaded not guilty. The W for murder in Rhode Island is ‘e imprisonment and for abortion not less than five nor more than twenty years. While there havp been numer- ous convictions for murder in Rhode Island, it is said that no person has ever been convicted of the crime of abortion, Town Solicitor Harry B. Agard con- ducteq the case fors the prosecution and introduced only .evidence sufficient to hold the accused for trial in the su- perior court. The first witness was Theresa Bom- ‘bunot, who gave in detail the con- nection “of Dr. Senior with the case that resulted in the death of her sis- ter, Katfe, which was of a decidedly incriminating nature. At the comelu- -sion of her testimony, Dr. Senior, who was without counsel, said he would reserve cross-examination. The other Witnesses were Angelo Bombunot, a ‘dbrother, Dr. Michael H. Scanlon, med- ical examiner for Westerly, and Dr. Asa S. Briggs, of Ashaway, medical examiner for the town of Hopkinton, who, with Drs. Russell B. Smith and John L. May made the autopsy. All the evidence was of a convincing na- ture and ,n support/ of the serious charges. ' The witnesses were not questioned by the accused. n_pro- bation from the state institution. When the doctor was brought into court sub- sequently charged with being a com- mon drunkard, the evidence was not contradicted, and Judge Williams did ?.Ia duty and imposed the usual sen- ence. Two cases were disposed of in the Thlrd district court, before the Senior case was called. e first was that of the liquor seizure case of Po- lice Sergeant Edwin E. West against the vessels and liquors of Rachel Ma- zola of 148 Granite street. The liquors ‘were declared confiscated to the stats and warrant issued for the destructfon of the liquors and the destruction or sale of the vessels containing the same. ‘The second case was the complaint of Thomas E. Brown against the liquors and vessels of Natale Comolo, 87 Oak street, which resulted in like decision by the court. riudge Williams held a esssion of the hird district court in Hope Valley, Thuuday and heard the case of Nath- an B, Lamphere against Isaac B.

TOMPKINS 67 West Main St. With the hope of checking the fre. quent highway robberies in the Brad- ford section, the Westerly town coun- cil has offered a reward of $200 for the arrest and conviction of the per- son, or persons, who held up and rob- bed Dominick Vero, Joseph Ferra, Charles Puccl and Michael Colpalbo, or any one of them. Chief Brown and his men have been devoting much time to these cases and Sheriff John R, Wilcox is assisting in the work, with the hope of arresting the high- waymen. This work was being car- ried on before tire reward was of- fered. It is the general belief in the Brad- ford section that the parties engaged in the recent holdups are the same who robbed David McG. Newall of $2,300 about three years ago and for whose arrest and conviction Mr. New- all offered a reward of $3500 and the sum was duplicated by the town of Westerly. As there was no time limit specified the rewards are still in force. At the conclusion of the testimony for the state, Judge Williams asked the doctor if he had any svidence to introduce or if he had any reason why he should not be found probably gullty and held for trial in the superior court. Dr. Senior asked: Is the charge one of murder? Judge Williams: Yes; the same-upon which you were arraigned and pleaded not guilty. Doctor—Is that the charge now? Judge—It f1s. Doctor—In that case, couft cannot accept bail; Judge—Yes, Doctor—Then it is up to me to sub- mit and go to the superior court? Judge—That depends upon the ac- tion of the court; have you any evi- dence to introduce, doctor? Dr. Senior then stepped into the witness stand and, with head bowed, stood there in silence for two minutes. Then Judge Williams said he did not wish to disturb the thoughts of the accused, but asked him if he had any- thing to say in his own behaif. Dr. Senior replie I do not know of anything in particular to say; un- less the counsel for the state wants to_question me. Town Solicitor Agard said he had {no_questions to ask. Judge Willlams then asked the ac- cused if he haq anything to say w] he _should not be found probably guilty. Dr. Senior replied been introduced to warrant the charge of murder and that, according to the evidence in the case ought to be dis- missed right now. I might talk for an hour.or two, but the result would be the same, for T know the personal feel- ing of the court against me. has been provep of murder, as prosecution must prove malice, none has been shown in this case.
