In pronouncing sentence upon Aruzza, Judge Moulton said: "It Is very hard for the court to be compelled to sentence you.

You have been found guilty of taking the life of another man. You havo taken away what you can never give back. I understand that you have a wife and family, and I am going to be moro lenient with you than If your circumstances were different.

Barstow, a photographer who testified regarding some photographs of the places along the route followed by Michael and Domlnlek Aruzza, and the other members of their party on ihe night of June 1 last, when they were returning from the homo of Joseph Denovo. These photographs, takbn by the witness, were offered as evidence by tho defense. The other witness was the respondent himself, who took the stand In his own defense, and occupied it for nearly two hours. Tho evidence was all In by 11:30 Thursday morning. The court was then recessed until 1:30 In the afternoon, when the pleas of the attorneys began and continued until 4:30, Attorney General Archibald closing the case for the State In a plea which lasted "more than an hour.

Following tho charge by Judge Sherman R. Moulton, tho case went to the Jury. RESPONDENT EXPLAINS STABBING The tostmony of the respondent, Michael Aruzza, Thursday morning, was In close accord to that told by Michael Momoni, who was an eye-witness to what happened and while he got mixed up on some points during cross-examination by Attorney-General Archbald, the mnln part of his story could not be shaken. Aruzza remained calm, even somewhat stbldilid, during the trial. On the stand Thursday morning, he appeared depressed kept ills eyes down and answored In mono- sylables during the early part of the testimony.

Later, when that part of the testimony was reached which dealt with the stabbing Itself, the witness showed excitement, and the general irritability of a person under a nervous strain. He did a great deal of motioning with his hands as he answered In his own language the qustlons put to him by the interpreter, and his answers were shot out in a rapid and fiery manner. Brlelly, the testimony regarding the visit to the home of Joseph Denovo, Aruzza's father-in-law, on the night of June 1 last, was gone over, and the witness admitted that all of the party drank some wine there, although he said that they were not drunk. Reaching Hlckok street on the way home, Dominic took oft his coat near the wood yard and came toward Michael, according to the testimony. Michael saw a knife In his hand.

"I laid on my knees and begged his pardon. I wanted to go home," said tho witness. Continuing his testimony, he said that Momoni held Dominic back. Later, Dominic tried to grab Michael again, but Michael pushed him awasj; with his hands In Dominic's face. Finally Dominic was persuaded to put on his coat and they all continued along the same side of the street toward home.

They wero walking In single file, Dominic ahead and Momoni In the middle. A short distance up tho street, Dominic turned around and again came toward Michael, who again sank to his knees and begged his cousin not to hurt him. Momoni again held Dominic off. Tho thrco walked ahead again as far as the corner of West lane and Hlckok streets. Then Dominic, who was ahead and across WeBt lane, turned again nnd camo back toward Michael with knife in hand, Momoni ngnln stepped between, but Dominic told him; "If you don't lenvo mo alone, I will kill you." Momoni stepped back a fow steps and Dominic came on, saying to Michael: "I'm going to tear you all to nieces." Michael testified that ho tried to dodge uomimc two or three tlmea.

"I told him for God's sake to leavo me that his wife wan said the witness. "Then Domlnlu said 'I don't care for you or my He kept on stabbing at me. I said: 'For God's sako, what's going to happen to mo thon stuck my hand In my pocket, got a pair of shears and stabbed him. Ho went back a ways and fell." "What position wero you In when Dominic wna stabbing at you?" asked the attorney. "Te.ce to faoo." "At the time you struck Dominic, did you Intend to km mm-" "No." "What did you intend to do?" "I tried to hit him in the arm." "For what reason did you want to hit him In tho arm?" "So he would drop his knife." "Were you afraid Dominic would hit you?" "Certainly." "Why did you strlko Domlnlo when he came toward you with his knlfo7" "To protect myself," "Did you think It necessary at that tlmo to strike to protoct yourself?" "Yes, sir." On cross-examination by Archibald, Michael testified that Dominic wns striking at him with his knlfo all the way up Hlcko street.

Mlchaol also said that ho saw Dominic's wlfo whon she left their houso some distance tip the street and came toward tho two men, Tho attorney-general mnde much of this statement In tho summary fo tho case, claiming that this was manifestly Impossible, with tho lights situated ns they wero. Michael was closely questioned ns to why ho ran away after ho had struck Domlnlo and as to why and where ho tore his clothes. Tho witness was not clear on theso points and said that ho was crazy after striking Dominic nnd could not remember Just what did happen. Ho did not remember where ho went when ho ran away, did not rocollcct being arrested and did not realize until tho following morning that ho was really In Jail. He also claimed that the story told at tho Inquest about a stranger who killed Dominic was told while his head was not quite cloar, and said that he had not Intended to tell a falsehood.

It was the contention of the Stato all through tho case that tho blow which killed Dominic must have been struck from behind to have mado the wound In the body which it did, but no evidence wns introduced to show that the blow came from behind. When questioned about the shears which ho used In striking the blow which killed Dominic Aruzza, Michael stated that he had taken them from his child, a hoy six years old, accord ing to his testimony, while they were at the home of Joseph Donovo, the boy's grandfather. At that time, Michael snld that he had put the shears In his pocket lest the little follow get hold of them again and harm himself. AN ADMIRER 'Did you grasp the significance of that lecturer's remarks?" "Not altogether." 'Then why did you applaud so much?" 'Well, I admire brains, and I thought that man must lie awful smart to under stand what ho was talking about." Washington Star.

VERMONT GUTS LOOSE FROM HEW HAMPSHIRE Green Mountain State Will Be an Internal Revenue District by Itself after This Month, with J. E. Kennedy of Essex in Charge An official order Issued by Daniel C. Roper, head of the United States department of Internal revenue at Washington, has cut the ties which for many years have bound the Internal revenue busi ness of the State of Vermont to tho Now Hampshire district, which Includes New Hnmpshlro, Maine and Vermont, and on or about September 1 the Internal revenue district of Vermont will be-como a reality and with Its organization will come tho establishment of headquarters In tho federal building In this city, a staff of more than a scoro of good salaried deputy collectors and olllco assistants, alt under tho jurisdiction of James E.

Kennedy of Essex Junction, who was nominated for tho position by President Wilson on Thursday. Tho establishment of the Vermont dls-trct office will mean that thousands upon thousands of dollars of revenue money that Is unnually paid by Vormontcrs and which heretofore has been sent, to tho New Hampshire district's head offlco at Portsmouth, N. In charge of Seth W. Jones, will now be paid to the Vermont district office In Burlington and thence to the department In Washington. It will be a boon for Burlington nnd for Vermont as well, and In all probability will mean that a half dozen Vermont men now working at Portsmouth will be transferred to their home Stato for duty with tho new district.

Divorcing of the State of Vermont from the New Hampshire district, to havo her established as an Independent district, was not accomplished without much protest fiom tho powers that be lu the New Hampshire district, and In tho political circles of both New Hampshire and Maine Soveral Influential Vermont government officials paid a hasty visit to Washington several weeks ago and after a conference, with Commissioner Roper camo homo with the assurance that the divorce would be granted and that tho Vermont district would bo speedily organized. The new head of tho Vermont district Is expected to announce his plan of organization, olllce and deputy personnel within a short time. THAYER SCHOOL TO BE ABANDONED The Sixteen Pupils There to Be Transported to the Barnes School on North' Steret Some Resignations Accepted at Meeting of Board PlanB for abandoning tho Thayer school during tho coming year, and bringing tho pupils of that school Into tho city, probably to tho Lawrence Barnes school, for instruction, wero discussed Fridny night at the regular meeting of the board of -school commissioners held In the high school building. There were only 16 pupils In the Thayer school last year, and no prospects ef any more this coming year. Two teachers have been employed in tho Thayer school In the past, but the school board doos not feel that It pays to keep two tcacheis for 16 pupils, and It Is thought, also, that It would be better for tho pupils to transport them Into tho city, where they would be with moro of the young folks, catch tho enthusiasm of school life and get into competition with other pupils.

Anyhow, It has been practically decided that the Thayer school will not be kept rmen durlntr Mm rninltur vpnr In itM present status. The proposition of keep-ling the school open with only one teacher in chargo lias been considered, but 'the plan of transporting the pupils to I the city appeals to the school board I as tho hotter one. If it Is decided to close the school and bring the children to the city to the Lawrence Barnes school, the best of transportation will be afforded. A conveyance probably will be provided in which the children can all ride at once, under tho care of a competent teacher, who will look after them all tho time. If tho school Is closed, the two teachers who havo been there will be transferred to some other school In the city.

Several resignations were accepted at tho meeting Friday, among them the resignation of Miss Vesta D. Bige-low, principal of tho Ira Allen school, who will be In Glendnle, next year; Mrs. Alice F. Kcech, teacher of reading, literature and history In the junior high school, who has gone with her family to Bristol, and Miss Kathryne Sturtevnnt, teacher of Spanish and French at the high school. Candidates already are being considered for some of these positions.

It was voted to let tho Job of papering tho cottngo nt the Ira Allen school, provided that the cost of the job does not exceed $45. It also was voted that tho Job of constructing a walk on tho street In front of tho Ira Allen school bo let to tho lowest bidder, and another vote wns carried to redecorate tho Interior of tho commissioners' room In tho high school building. Miss Bessie Crosby hns been chosen ns school nurse for the coming school year, and has accepted the position. Plans wero mndo for taking the school census before the 16th of August, the date when It must be completed according to law. Estimates of repairs on several of tho school buildings wore discussed.
