THE TESTIMONY

That Sealed the Fate oILapage Sentenced to Death for the Murder of Josie Langrmaid. THE SCHOOL GIRL MURDER. TDK ErlDEXCE AM. IX AXD THE CASE BUMMED UP BT BOTH finm TB BEATS OP LT5CH LAW IN CÄ.SE THE JURY SHOULD ACQUIT OR DISAGREE. The Concord correspondent of the New York Sun K'vfs the conclusion of the trial of I,apage, charged with the murder of Miss J.-.sie Lngmi I, and now under sentence of death for the crime, as announced la the telegraphic columns ot the Sentinel: The usual complacency of the auditors in the certainty ol the conviction ot the prisoner gave place to an anxiety bred not a little of distrust of the 12 men to whom the life ol Joseph Lapage hes b6en committed. They fear that the jurors way have Lecome infected with the doubt with which they are hardly able to deny the evidence tor the defense had influenced their own judgments. They have watched the prisoner to-day with more attentive interest than before. As uual hundreds were nnab'o ts obtain admission to the court room. The prosecution first called for the rfbuttal George Julius, John D?mas and Edward Garmla'.n. Tftey rods to Joe Daigt.ault's house in one of Jce Diie;nault's teams, arriving there at 12:00 p. m. on the dai ol the murder. The employes of Dalgnault, who drove the teem, had testified that they found Larage there talking to their employer. The above-named witnetsf s swore that, with equal opportunity to see whoever was talking with Datgnauit, they did not see Lap3ge. BAD FOR PFISOXER. William H. Cole testified that he was hauling dirt on the road between Suncook and the academy on the morniog of th9 murder, and Lapage passed him at 8:30 A. m. going toward the acadr my. The detectives were then recalled, and swore that Lapage Invariably told them that Joe Daignault was shoeing a horse when he arrived there. Joe Daignault, when on the stand, swore that be shed no horses until the afternoon of October 4. The prosecution aain rested at this point, and the defense called in rebuttal Gilbert Ralph Rickwood, of the McGill University, Montreal. The witness took his degrees in London, although he had pursued his studies in Germany as well, lie testified that the blood of men, torses, sheep, cos, and goats can be distinguished under the microscope when fresh, but after it hap become dried the distinction is a mere matter of opinion, and wholly untrustworthy as evidence. The cross-examination elicited that the professor's opinion was based from the present advancement of blood science in Canadian schools. It might be better understood in Germany, where it originated, and wherever mechanical advantages equal to those ol Germany can be obained. The defense rested here, and Drs. Cease and Halles were recalled to show that tne mechanical spectroscopic, microscopic, an 1 cientiäc advantages ot B )ton are beyond criticism. The examination lasted until the noon recess, and both sides renting, it came to be generally known that the summing up would begin at 2 p. M. Those who desired to hear that part of the case and they were about all that had obtained seats kept their seats with praiseworthy s?lf-de-nial during the recess of an hour and a hall. The prisoner, the jury, and those within the railing of the bar 'retired, but thoe who counted that their early coming would make them proprietors ot the s9ats of retiring auditors were generally disappointed. SUMJIlSa CP FOR THE DEFENSE. Counsellor Samuel Page summed up for the defense. Iiis reputation as a politician is at least state-wide, bat general confidence was Indulged In that hi advocacy of the prisoner would amount to nothing, that Lew Clark, as the attorney-general la familiarly called, could not eail7 demolish. As Mr. Page proceeded with bis argument, a manliest uneasiness took possession of the audience. They eyed Lipage In a way that indicated that they were growing I933 assured of the certainty of conviction. Counsellor Page pointed out the missing links in the chain of circumstances with consummate skill. The different identifications of Lapaze, he contended, were rendeje J certain by the well-dhssmioated fact that the prisoner was confined in the first ceil in the Concord jail. Thoe wLo wished to put a nail Into his coffin were led directly to that cell; and eo men ne irly blind with optical disease, lixe Mr. Towle, spoke certsiuly, although they could not recognize a neighbor as tar as they swore Lspae was from them. The only person who saw Lipase pass the academy was Miss Gauit, n:tnf!U2!i over a hundred bpys and girls :r piaviu just inside tbe open fence. bob iwure that he parsed. The wood choppers who swore that Lapage visited them at 9 A. m. in Coffin'a lot were four, to three who swore that tney saw him there between 12 and 1. This very difference among the Canadians, he argued, fully answered the imputation that those citizens had combined to swear their countryman out of trouble. From these witnesses the advocate claimed that tbe prisoner had established, not a sentimental doubt, but one that almost excluded the hypothesis of his guilt. MUTTERINGS. Those who listened to Mr. Page from the outside of the closed windows, by some sort of magnetism, became aware that he was shaking the faith of many earnest believers in the prisoner's guilt. Those disappointed In obtaining access to the court room heard these rumors with something akin to dismay. "That jury Isn't tbe sort of a one to try a case like that," Bald one man. "Why, the clerk jnst told me that a juryman, wnile at sapper the first night, broke up his fish balls in his coffee, thinking they were doughnuts. He ate the mess, too, juat saying they make tbe cookies pow erlul salty like down here In Concord." Such a juryman, the criticising Daniel declared, was unworthy of trust. Doubt soon bred determination, and not a few said openly that 11 Lapage should be acquitted It would not do him much good. He won't live to get far from town. Men were even found who advocated the same sort of speedy settlement of his case, even In case the jury disagreed. Attorney General Clark begaa his summing up at 4 o'clock. He commented upon the evidence that the prisoner was in the academy road just before tbe time tbe girl was murdered. If tbe jury believed this evidence they must convict Lapage. 'The prisonei'u own varying stories, and those of others, manifestly concocted lor his deliverance, only strengthened the probability of his guilt if he was in the academy road at that time. The crime, he said, was manifestly incited by lust, and who had qualified himself lor such an unnatural crime by similar ones excepting Lapage? He then commented upon the chasing of Mrs. Watson and her daughter by Lapage, and upon the grosser outrage on his sister-in-law, Julienne Rousse. These show that the murderer of Joele Langmaid was just in accordance with Lapage's brutal Instincts. The appeal of the attorney general consumed four hours, and at its conclusion the court was adjourned. Under the instructions of the -Court no one was permitted to leave the room until the prisoner tad been removed

and was fairly on bis way to the prison. Judge Foster will deliver the chrge THE CHARGE A2D VEBDI."fr The San of Friday has the following ac count of the close of the trial: The Lapage trial was concluded to-day, and the en wa' marked with even more interest In tbe trial and desire to have the prisons"

hanged. A representative resident of Merrimack county said: "I don't know what thejury will do, but that man won't get a mile from the coart house door." The opening of the court room was marked by the fame cramb!e for plaets, for tbe desire to here Judge Foster's charge was intense. Nearly half the audience was composed of women. Lapage was brought in by his jailors as the court house bell rang. He seemed to have properly interpreted the menacing glances with which be bad been sreeted on all sides, and he moved along between his jailors with the air of a man who understood that the least swerving might be tbe signal for a speedier termination of his trial. Once seated, bowever, Lis face resumed the sterotyped expression of indifference that had marked his demeanor. Judge Fcstei's charge was a more masterly marshalling of the proofs against tie prisoner than even the plea of the attorney nenerl. The testimony in alibi was first adverted to, and thewe tevlfyirg to it were given the full weight tbat coi.fidene in their veracity might entitle them to. Still the fast that they contradicted the story of the prisoner himself and the eye witnesses o! at least as many well-disposed arsons as bad testified to it, ha thought, eft a door open for the belief that Joe Daignault and bis men might have erred as to the day when tbev saw tbe prisoner. Tbe identification of Lapage by Mits Gsult and jcung fate ts the man whom they saw near and approaching the Ecsne of the murder, the Judge thought was ENTITLED TO GREAT WEIGHT. Of the testimony oi the experts, the judge bad a high estimate. Science is progressive, be said, and men who spend their lives in investigations of the forces of nature are entitled to earnest consideration when they declare that their researches have enabled them to discriminate between the blood ol men and of Interior animals. At all events, they established that there was blood ol some sort upon the clothes of the prisoner, and tbe fact that be had not seen fit to account for its presence there left a damaging inference to he drawn. The testimony ot Julienne Rdusso was commented upon at length. The admission sion ot it as evidence at all tbe the judge charged, was simply in support ot thß theory of the prosecution that rare was the primary crime that led up to the murder, and in that view only it ought to be considered by the jury. The charge lasted an hour and a half, and at its con clusion the jury retired, tbe counsel not asking any special charging. Tbe throng in the court room Increased rather than diminished in the recess that was taken pending the verdict. The prisoner sat the center ot many hostile glances, but he still exhibited his accustomed indifference. His unofficial watchers said freely that be bad earned banging, and they proposed to serve out justice to" him whether the jury con victed him or not. At I2:lo the court bou?e bell told the people that the jury had agreed. In the half hour tbat Intervened betört the court was reopened the rumor was confirmed that the verdict was in accordance with their wishes, lud tbe throng became quiet. James Langmaid, the lather of the girl, and his wile, teemed tbe most agitated persons in the assembly. He especially was deeply moved. He held a bandkerchielto his eyes and convulsively shuddered. He sat near the prisoner, and Attorney-General Clark has since informed me tbat Langmaid ha? twice declared to him tbat HE WOULD KILL LAPAGE 11 the jury should acquit. "I had a son and a daughter," the father remarked to the attorney general. "You have a eon and a daughter now. If yours died as mine did, would you let the murdeier live? What would life be worth to you? As the jury came in Lapage lost his Imperturbability. He eyed with keenest anxiety each juror. Tbat done, he re'apsed into his accustomed expression. He stood a the names of the jurors were called. The usual formula of questions were put, and the toreman announced the verdict: "Guilty ot murder in the first degree." Tbe verdict wes rendered amid accessories eo affecting that many women wept, but Lapage looked as unconcerned as ever. The throng applauded, despite tbe sheriff's slap lor order. Quiet restored, Attort.ey General Clark arose, and with voice evincing great emotion moved for sentence. The prisoner was asked why sentence of death should not be pronounced upon him. The question had to- be interpreted to him. He replied, "I have only to say it is lalse, tbat is all." Judge Rand then pronounced the sentence, which is that the prisoner be hanved on the 19th of January, 1S77. The New Hampshire law gives all capital convicts a year in which to settle appeals and prepare lor death. After sentence the doors were closed and the prisoner was given ample time to be far on Li way to tbe jaU before tbe throng was permitted to follow. The jury took one ballot o&ly. After retirement they reviewed the evidence for one hour, then took a vote, which as unanimous for conviction. Their verdict is heartily approved by their iellow citizens. TERRIBLE TAXATION LOOKING THE ACCOUNT IN THE FACE. In a well-considered editorial the Boston Post offers the following fitting suggestions: These are peculiarly favorable times for consideration. Leisure is given the people in abundance by the dullness of business in all its branches to study the meaning and morals Of the situation. How many pause to reflect on tbe astonishing fact that for the eleven years now closing federal taxation has aggregated, in currency, over $4,500,000,000? and that the aggregate of local taxation additional has been over $3,000.000,000? making for the total taxation more than seven and a half thousand millions Öldollars. And In the face of this fact, mountainous as it is in the contemplation, the governmect demands ot the people 121,000,000 more la taxes for the next year than for the. last. With lour and a half thousand millions of dollars wrung from tbe people by the federal government since 18G3, ongnt not a great deal more than three or four hundred millions to have come eff of the publlo debt? Yet Mr. Bontwell to this day actually plumes himself on his accomplishments in the way of reduction during tho five years he presided over the treasury and occupied his mind with buying bonds, selling gold, fooling with syndicates, and moving the crops. Is it not a truth more clearly perceptible now than ever, that the first and mcst urgent duty of the government when we came out of a destructive war was to retrench expenses and get in operation a fiscal system that would have put the debt in tbe easiest and most expeditious way of liquidation by restoring soundness to tbe currency, and therefore stability, economy and honesty to all business and trade transactions? In place of tbat, Mr. Bontwell himself is forced to confess there is MORS CURKESCT ISSUES than seven years ago, and he still holds to the doctrine of growing up to its volume.

When we consider this vast sum total of taxes wrung lrom the people, we are forced to the reflection that when tbe government annually takes from tbem more of their earnings than they can lay by in prosperous years it is simply eating out their capital, which is all tbe means of their yearly Investment; a", lor example, in buildings, machinery, agricultural implements, shies, stores, railroads. merchan
