Auto. Fatality at St. Johnsbury.
. In a series of three automobile ac
cidents at St. Johnsbury Monday, El
mer W. Fuller of St. Johnsbury was
killed and all others in the four cars
involved are more or less seriously in
jured. The first accident occurred in the
early evening in a heavy shower at
the foot of a steep and sharp curved
hill on the Waterford road just in the
limits of St. Johnsbury.
William McDonald was taking his
family to ride, accompanied by Mr.
and Mrs. Fuller, when the car skidded
on the slippery road and plunged over
a 20-foot embankment, pinning Ful
ler under the car and killing him in
stantly. The other occupants escaped
with bruises. Fuller was 58 years old
and a prominent Mason. He was one
of the oldest employes in the scale
factory.
About 15 minutes later a similar
accident occurred at the top of the
same hill when the car driven by J.
B. Vigneault of Newport skidded and
started to plunge down an embank
ment of about 60 feet. By a rare
presence of mind Vigneault steered
the car into a big tree and saved the
plunge though he was pretty well
bruised up in the collision with the
tree. His wife received a serious in
jury to one shoulder and his sister-in-law
had severe cuts in the face.
The three other ladies in the car were
not seriously hurt, though all were
cut by broken glass from the wind
shield. '
In the afternoon a car driven by
Reuben Chamberlin of East Ryegate
collided with a car from Littleton at
Woodsville. In this accident Cham
berlin received a broken arm and Van
Aldrich of East Ryegate, had severe
injuries in his back. Both were tak
en to the Woodsville hospital. Mrs.
Chamberlin and two children in the
back seat were rendered unconscious
i by the collision, but afterwards re
covered sufficiently to be taken home.
The Littleton party escaped without
serious injuries. .

Last Sunday Rev. Mr. Hunter, of
Newport occupied the pulpit in ex
change with Mr. Ranney. He took
for his text, Rev. 2, the third verse,
"Remember therefore whence thou
art fallen, and repent and do the first
works; or else I come to thee and will
move thy candle stick out of its place,
except thou? repent." He explained
to us how it was not the local church
which had caught the vision but the
general church. Christ drew big
crowds to him. How ? By feeding
the hungry and healing the sick, al
ways losing sight of himself. He
did efficient work with the equipment
at hand. He lost no time making
modern improvements in the old
church. You never ioiew him to
make a sufferer wait because of some
needed materials to work with. He
said it was the business of the church
to meet the needs of God's people but
we lack system. The church should
work more directly and let , the people
know it's through the church and not
some society they are being helped.
He asked the question, "Shall the
church shun questionable amusements
or shall it participate and inspect
enough to raise the standard?" The
influence of the church depends upon
our readiness to say, "Here am I,
send me."
There will be a food and apron sale

SIRS. KENERSON GUILTY.
Verdict of Second Degree Murder in
Child Case.
After the following report of the
murder case in Caledonia county
court was written and put in type
news arrived that the jury got the
case earlier than expected and re
turned a verdict last evening, charg
ing Mrs. Kenerson with murder in
the second decree and sentence was
f given this morning.
Caledonia county court, now in ses
sion at St. Johnsbury, is the scene of
one of the most heinous murder trials
this part of Vermont has witnessed in
many years.
Mrs. Alvin Kenerson is being tried
for murder in the first degree of five-year-old
Alice Bradshaw, the crippled
child of John Bradshaw of Lyndon on
July 5. It will be remembered the
body of the child was not found for a
month, wrhen it was found in a hay
field in a decomposed condition by El
lery Gray. Mrs. Kenerson had con
fessed the murder but her stories of
the place where the body was to be
found proved untrue and she was kept
in jail.
Over 40 men were called in order to
get a panel of 12 jurymen and they
are being guarded during the trial.
State's Attorney Campbell of St.
Johnsbury and Attorney General Bar
ber are conducting the case for the
state and Porter, Witters & Harvey
of St. Johnsbury and N. A. Norton of
Lyndonville are for the defense.
The state is attempting to show
that Mrs. Kenerson had ill feeliners
I toward the father of Alice because of
a horse deal and that the woman
asked the assistance of John Kerwin
to hide the body after the deed was
committed. The defense attempt to
show that Mrs. Kenerson knew noth
ing of the violence to the child, loved
the little cripple and had no enmity
against her. They also try to show
that the child wandered away and
was lost, and that Mrs. Kenerson
showed concern for the child; that
the woman was a quiet, but simple
minded woman; that she was arrested
and jailed without warrant and forced
to . make statements because of ter
ror, and that there was 'no truth
whatever in her alleged statements.
Many witnesses have been examin
ed and the case will be before the
jury before many hours. The state
put on 14 witnesses.
During his testimony, John Ker
win, held as an accomplice in the
case, contradicted himself many times
and wept at intervals. He testified
that late on the night of the murder
Mrs. Kenerson woke him up and told
him she had some business fdr him,
that they left the Kenerson home to
gether and walked to the Ellery Gray
farm, where they found the body of
the child. When he asked Mrs. Ken
erson . what this meant, she replied,
"If you open your head I will smash
your brains out." . She then gave him
the body and he carried it about a
mile to the place in the Ellery Gray
1 field, where it was afterwards found.
He dropped it there because he saw a
light and was afraid. They then both
hastened back home, running some of
the way. He described his trip with
the officers to find the body after its
disappearance and first said he tried
to find it and later said he did not try
to find it and did not want to find it.
Mrs. Kenerson denied that she went
with John Kerwin, to hide the body of
the murdered child. She said she
could not walk so far becasue of an
injury to her ankle several weeks be
fore thealleged murder. Questioned
about her admission of choking the
little girl while Etta May Hicks, in
dicted with her, clubbed the girl, she
said the confession was false and
wras wrung from her by a detective
in the employ of the sheriff, who
threatened her with the electric chair.
She vowed that she loved the child,
and could not be shaken in her state
ment. Probably the most interesting wit
ness was John Bradshaw, father of
the little girl. He first testified that
Alice could Walk around the house
fairly well and could get around the
farm with difficulty. ' Her left side,
he said, was' paralyzed, the paralysis
developing when she was a year and
a half old. The only way she could
get up stairs w'as by crawling. He
last saw her alive at 8 o'clock in the
evening of July 4. He saw the body
August 9 in the Gray, field and rec
ognized the clothing and shoes.
VERMONT NOTES
There are still a few cases of infan
tile paralysis in the state and an oc
casional new case at scattered points.
A new case developed in Burlington
last week and one in Barre the first
of this week, but there appears to be
no epidemic of the disease now.
The machinists, boiJermakers and
others, who have been on strike since
Friday afternoon, Aug. 31, returned
to work in the railroad shops at Lyn
donville Monday. Tke men in the oth
er shops of the B. & M. system re
turned to work Monday or Tuesday.
The trial of . Private Robert Warm
of the United States army, charged
with the murder of 14-year-old Jessie
Hemmingvay of St. Albans started
in Franklin county court which open
ed at St. Albans yesterday. Warm
has been held under $5000 bonds. A
large crowd i3 present at the trial.
The Hemmingway girl's body was
found just outside the. city limits on
the Newton road, early the morning
of Aug. 13. Warm admits having
been out walking with the girl 3 the
night before but says he left her all
right but was chased by some caval
rymen who thought he was to blame
for the arrest the day before of scrse
cf their ncmber.
County Awakes to Red Cross Benefit
Nearly Every Branch Reports Activity. Have You Acted Yet?
Needs Should Move to United Effort.
Twenty-five per cent of every subscription dollar paid for
the Monitor during September goes for the benefit of the Bed
Cross chapter through which it is received. This is the Moni
tor's gift to the work of this great relief organisation. How
can we afford it? Well, frankly, there is some question as to
whether we can or not. But we have learned of the, suffering
of the soldiers from cold and exposure in the trenches in the
winters past! And this winter our own boys, some of them
from our own county and our acquaintances, friends and neigh
bors, will be there. President Wilson and General Pershing
both say the boys need sweaters, mufilers, etc., this winter.
But the government does not supply them, and there is doubt
about its ability to find them on the market anyway. Right or
wrong, the boys need these comforts and the ladies are. willing
to knit them but have not sufficient yarn, and yarn costs money.
And so, like some of those who have volunteered for service
we just couldn't help doing it.
The Monitor admits it is making something of a sacrifice,
but will feel that it is a sacrifice well worth what it costs if the
people as a wrhole respond and make the campaign really worth
while. From all indications and reports thus far received we
shall not be disappointed. Realizing that there is nothing to
be lost and much to be gained by giving either new or renewal
subscriptions for the Monitor to local Red Cross chapters dur
ing September, the people of the county are awaking to the
idea. '
Complete success depends upon the action of every Moni
tor friend. There must be no slackers or laggards. We have
tried to do our part Will you do yours?
To any who receive this issue of the Monitor as a sample
copy it is an invitation to help the Red Cross by subscribing.
To present subscribers it is an invitation to renew NOW, during
September. Our offer is withdrawn after September 30. Sub
scribers residing out of the county and state may assist as much
as local people by sending check or money order to any of the
persons named below, representing the chapter they desire to
help.
Can we make the plan easier or plainer? The whole
thing is to subscribe for the Monitor during September when
your subscription will benefit the Red Cross.
Members of the County Agricultural associaton who hold
a 50c Monitor coupon and present that with $1 for a year's
subscription will benefit the Red Cross 25 per cent of the $1
cash paid. We can give no commission on the coupon. Every
September subscriber will get full benefit of the Monitor's
reduced magazine and paper prices later in the season the same
as though he had subscribed for his Monitor then.

William Labounty, son of Joseph
LaBounty of Irasburg was instantly
killed Tuesday morning on the B. &
M. railroad about one mile south of
the station at South Deerfield, Mass.
Mr. LaBounty was a member of the
section gang-, having begun work
Monday morning, and when the acci

double track road. At the approach
of a south-bound freight train the
gang all stepped to the outside of the
track on the west except Mr. La
Bounty who went across the north
bound track. But as the freight was
moving slowly he stepped part way
back across the north-bound track
and stood waiting for the freight to
pass, and did not hear the approach
ing north-bound express train which
struck him causing death instantly.
His body was thrown nearly 100 feet.
Mr. LaBounty was 24 years old and
was well-known here. The remains
were brought home this morning, ac
companied by Henry Tinker, who was
foreman of the section gang. The
funeral will be held Thursday morn
