BANGOR, October IL. The D .ngor Wnig says
that the inquest regarding the Bucksport murder
IS stil! ia secret session, and testimony is not
dvulged. Smith was before it all day yesterday
and it is said the case looked hand against him.
There has been much excitement in Bucksport.
Some fear the lyLching of Smith, If the jury
brought 10 verdict duplicating him, but better
counsels will be heard. The inquest will not con-
clude to-day, and perhaps not before Saturday.
The people Of Bucksport seem TO think that
Smith is guilty and that the eoroncls jury is de-
velopng stlong facts against him. The clothing
he wore on the day Of the murder is spotted with
blood which he accounts for on the ground that
it wa. done by his carrying a rabbit which he had
shot. The shirt he wore on that day is not to be
found. The coat has been colored with logwood
and copperas applied with brush. One of the
pockets > stiifened with blood. The shirt he had
on when arrested he said he had worn four days,
but hi, family told officers it was not the one. 1t
WAS hardly wrinkled, whereas the one he must
have been wearing was wrinkled and soiled by
working at a carpenter bench. The coroner thinks
the inquest will occupy several days longer. Some
think him guilty and that he had a partner in the
crime, while others think he was alone.
