From the statement of these men and the circumstances of the mur- der there was a natural presumption that the family of Mr. Spooner could rot be so ignorant of the manner of his death, as they pretended to be, qnd Mrs. Bethsheba Spooner was arrested. The matter at once assumed much importance from the character and tanding of the parties implicated, id Spooner being the dawzhter of a dis-| tinguished lawyer. whe had held some |of the most honorable and important offic the province. That the daugh- ter of such a man—and his favorite child—should be arrested on a charge}d of wilful murder increased the excite- ment aiready very great and gave rise xaggerated and foolish reports. | The = Eicron Hwnwasie ot er and the Spooners had been mar- >d for 12 years.

Later at thej trial it was brough' out *hat the sub- ject of murder was frequently dis- cussed and various projects to accom- plish it were suggested. Finally Mrs. Spooner ordered a ser- vant to call in any of the British sol- diers passing, and about a month he- fore tne murder, and while Spooner and Ross were both absent, the two men named above became residents o f the family for two weeks. There can be no doubt that Mrs. Spooner these entire to murder her husband, they» agreed to do on the first rable opportunity. When Spooner returned he expressed dissatisfaction at the presence of these men, and he ordered them away.

At the following term of the Su- perfor Court of Judicature, held in ‘Worcester on the 21st of April, 1778, the Grand Jury found =a° true bill against ail four of those named and the trial took place at the same term of the court. The judges who presided were Chief Justice William Cushing and Jedediah Nathaniei Peaslee Sargeant, David Sewall and James Sullivan, as- sociate justices. The eminent Robert Treat Paine was the attorney for the State and the equally eminent Levi Lincoln was the counse! assigned to the prisoners. The three men were charged with having committed the murder, al- though Brooks struck the fatal blow, while Mrs. Spooner was charged with having “invited, moved, abetted, coun- seled and procured” the murder to be commltte, All of the prisoners pleaded not guil- ty., The trial began on April 24 and @ large number of witnesses were.cail- ed on behalf of the prosecution. No testimony appears to have been offered in behalf of the prisoners. Hard as Attorney Lincoln tried to acquit his ahprges, it was imposatble, and remar- kable as was his speech it did not gerve to raise any real doubt as to the guilt of all the prisoners, and it w ling by the chief justice. Before fhe day set for their execution the three men confessed their guilt, and Mrs. Spcon- er confessed a few moments before her death.

Attawaugan, Dee. 19, 1921, READ YOUR CHARACTER . By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1921 Fluctuating Letters By this we meqn that the size of the letters vary in size, without any consistency. And the characteristies in- dicated by this trait are quite different from those indicated by the letters which have a tendency to increase in size as the person cemes to the end of a word or line. The primary significance of the fluc- tuating letters is versatility. People Wwho write such hands qre the kind who are able, as a rule, to do many things well. But they are not the “dependable” kind. That is to say, you never know exactly what stand they will take upon a given subject, though they may be conscientious enough. They're change- able, impulsive, qnd likely to be lack- in poise, unless they have ac- quired tha altter characterstic with years.

IN THE DAY’S NEWS BURMA There is to be a change in the gove ernment of Burma, following the re- cent reshaping of the governmental machinery of India, according to dis- patches from London, where a com- mittee of Parliament has been con- sidering whether a constitution shall be granted and even whether the coun- try should eventually be severed from the Empire.
