Arguing the Parry Case in Barre Trial Involving Freeman
In Wington county the Parry manslaughter trial proceeds with cross examination of the defendant by Attorney General Archibald.

Freeman’s widow, Mrs. Kelsey Freeman, testifies as rebuttal, while Grace and Mrs. Parry relate supporting details. The defense argues about warning calls and Freeman’s movements as the car approached near the Cabot incident on July 22.
