DEFENSE IN
OSSIPEE, N. H., Jan. 4.—Frederick
L. Small of Mountainview is preparing
today to face a jury here on the charge
of murdering Jiis wife, Florence Ar
leno, then starting a clockwork bomb
that burned the house about her dead
body while he was miles away, hours
later.
Perhaps the most peculiar feature
of the trial, which is scheduled to be
gin within two weeks, is the fact that
Small’s fate hinges almost entirely
upon whether his wife ate two meals
or three on the day she was murdered.
If she ate three it is probable Small
will be acquitted. If she ate only two,
he will have a hard fight to save him
self. Small left home just after lunch
on the fatal day.
It is the state’s theory that Small,
a broker, murdered his wife to col
lect the heavy insurance taken out on
her life in his favor.
On the 29th of September, 1916, the
Small cottage, on the shore of Lake
Osoipee, was destroyed by fire. Vil
lagers who gathered to witness the
spectacle were horrified when, as the
embers cooled, firemen brought forth
from the ruins the charred, nearly dis
membered body of Florence Small.
The accused man at the time wai in
Boston. Before he could be notified,
a medical examiner had found a char
red cord, bound tightly about the neck
of the dead woman. In another hour
search had revealed a bullet hole in
the skull.
Detectives went to Small’s room in
a Boston hotel and placed him under
arrest. He gave evidence of great
alarm, but his only suspicious move
was an attempt, which was forestalled,
to reach his handbag. In this were
found insurance papers, taken out by
his wife and payable to himself.
The investigation which preceded
Small’s arraignment disclosed indis
putably that Mrs. Small had been
murdered and the finger of suspicion
swung quickly to her husband.
The fact, brought out in his defense,
that he had left Mountainview for Bos
ton several hours before the fire broke
out, was parried by the state with its
disclosure of the apparent use of a
time fuse and bomb.
No other suspect was found. A
drunken guide, three Boston business
men and a tramp all established fault
less alibis.
The preliminary hearing, held in a
lodge hall at Mountainview, crowded
with villagers hostile to the defend
ant, for Florence Small was well-be
loved in the picturesque little hamlet,
brought out amazingly brilliant argu
ments by the opposing counsels.
Attorney Mathews, defending Small,
nearly won the day for his client by
an impassioned summary, but in the
end Small was held for the grand jury,
which indicted him December 8.
At the trial the medical examiner
will tell the jury how many meals
Mrs. Small had on the day she was
murdered. He examined her stomach
after the crime was discovered.
It’s the flavor of the goods that the
North Polf bakery turns out. 242
