Open Defence for Hattie in Murder Trial Clash
In Cambridge Maen Dee, defense junior counsel Farland Brewer opened for Hattie LeBlayc, charged with murdering lven P Glover. He argued no clear motive, all evidence was circumstantial, and others could have committed the deed. District Attorney Higgins declined to testify after defense claims of suppressed evidence. Through interpreter Zella Mallant, Hattie testified she was in the laundry when Glover was shot, denied firing the revolver, and said she hid for three days. The trial saw disputes over a dying declaration and the admissibility of a stenographic report. The government presented an overcoat with two holes and police remarks about marks on Hattie’s hand, while experts found no powder on her hand.

State Tax on Vermont Savings Banks Not Beset by Need to Cut
Vermont bank commissioner F C Williams told the Farmers Club of the Vermont legislature in Montpelier last night that there is no need to reduce the bank tax from seven-tenths to five-tenths of one percent. He cited rising rates, deposit growth since the savings bank tax was lifted four years ago, and said prudent banks would maintain surpluses and invest at high levels, arguing current conditions do not justify a lower levy. He noted several savings banks pay four percent and argued that keeping the rate at four percent would attract funds from outside the state, while some banks pay between three and a half and four percent. Williams answered questions from attendees.
