Source, The Rutland (Vt) Weekly Herald--May 11, 1893. BENNINGTON COUNTY COURT. McDowell Will Be Placed on Trail This Term. MANCHESTER, May 10-- The summer term of the Bennington County court will meet here Tuesday, June 6, Judge Thompson presiding. The side judges are George J.Bend and A. E. Burton. This will be the grand jury term, and the session will probably last about four weeks. There are already entered on the docket 90 civil cases and 15 divorce cases. Of state cases there are 34, most of them being liquor cases. The most important case that will come before the court is that of William Conroy or Henry McDowell for the murder of Patrick Crowley in Glastenbury about a year ago. McDowell, who is now in the state prison at Windsor, will be brought here in time for trail. As he has no counsel the court will assign him some. The plea in his case will be self-defense, and the trail will probably take three or four days, unless he should plead guilty to manslaughter, which might be accepted by the court as there were no witnesses to the crime, and McDowell has always stuck to the story that he acted in self-defense. The case of Nicholas Gaudette,now confined in jail here for burglary in Stamford, will come before the grand jury. There are 23 chancery cases to be heard . Joan H. Bixby
