Arrest of Young Man at Mechanic
Fails.

Last August there was stabbing affair in
Meridian. Coun., which resulted in the death of
man named Patrick Barrett. A young man
named Edmund Whitney belonging in
Mechanic Falls in this state was concerned in
the affair and he was arrested on the charge
OF murder AT the examination the evidence
was not sufficient to sustain the CHARGE but the
presiding judge bound him over to the Superior
court in the sum of $1,000 for manslaughter.
Whitney's uncle went bonds for him and he
was at once released. Being unable to work
he came to his home at Mechanic Falls When
the case was to come to trial last January he
was about to return to stand his trial but his
bondsmen notified him that there was defect
In the indictment and that they had been
released and he need not appear He accord
ingly remained in Mechanic Falls and finally
obtained situation in the Evans rifle factory
where he has worked until he was arrested
yesterday afternoon on a requisition from the
Governor of Connecticut. The arrest was made
by Capt. Van Vostrand of Meridian. The
prisoner was brought to this city and spent the
evening at the police station. He is good
looking young man, % years of ago. He
admits that he had been drinking beer the
night of the trouble, but says he was not IL
toxicated. He was in saloon when Barrett,
who was noted bruiser, came in and tried
several times to get up fight After evading
him several times to prevent being whipped he
whitney, started to go home. Just as he got
cut of the saloon Barrett and two companions
set upon him, knocked him down and were
beating him terrible when he took out
pocket knife and stabbed Barrett in self
defence. He says that if he had not done it
he thinks he would have been killed. Since
that time he has not tried to evade the officers
in any manner. He went home on the advice
OF his lawyer and boLdsnhe and supposed that
the case would not be heard from again. He
tells his story in very straightforward manner
and impresses all who have seen him very
favorably.
The officer who made the arrest says that he
understands that he has conducted himself
uprightly since he returned to Mechanic Falls,
and he says that the young man was greatly
surprised when he arrested him. The officer
says that the government claim that Whitney
had trouble with Barrett and stood outside the
saloon and waited for hi to c)me out when he
stabbed him. If this is so it seems strange
that the man is not held for murder. Barrett
lived but 10 hours.
The officer left on the midnight train for
Meridian with the prisoner who will be tried
this week.
