The Dexter TRAGEDY.

President Bradbury of the Dexter Savings
Bank says he forbade Detective Dearborn
making his statement public, but said the
detective could not stand the pressure. He
says it was jealousy of detectives which
caused the publication. Mr. Bradbury is con-
siderably noneommttal as to the new theory
but his conversation shows that he believes it
may be trae. Mr.. Bradbury does not &C.
knowledge there were any special deposits in
the bank, although - says Mr.. Barron took
some on his own account. That insurance
policy about which so much has been said
tMr Bradbury states) was assigned to thu
bank to cover note for $4,000 of his held by
the bank. George Hamilton, the pres emit
cashier, helped to remove Mr.. Barron from the
vault, but didn't smell any kerosene vapor.
Both Mr. Bradbury and Mr. Hamilton say
they have not denied Mrs. Barron or Executor
Copeland admission to the bank records. Mr.
Hamilton thinks the special deposit account
should be reckoned as bank business, bat the
other trustees thought that it should be con-
sidered private affair, and SO they have told
Mr. Hamilton that ne must look to Mr. Bar
ron's estate for the money. That Mr.. Barron
had pocket hoax of his own in the bank is
simply an assumption, says Mr.. Hamilton
The only evidence that We We that he pur-
chased bond on the Dist of E bruary. 1873,
Is his entry to that effect on his cash book.
His books as town treasurer are all right. No
one questions their correctness. 1t is reported
that Two of Pinkerton's detectives arrived at
Dexter Monday evening to investigate the

The Portland daily press., 1879-02-13

Yesterday morning Miss Sarah E. Fitzpatrick,
whose parents reside at Kezar Falls, and who
has bsen residing in this city with her half
.ister-the wife Of Mr.. Bickford. at T. L.
Bartletps apothecary store,-came down to
breakfast about s o'clock as usual She
seemed somewhat depressed and eat but little.
After breakfast she left the house, and the
family thought sha was either going to her
work at Caldwell & Hodsdon's shoe factory on
Cross street, or else to family, named Elwell,
on Munjoy Hill. The first seen of her after
she left the house was when shs got leave to
get on sled belonging to Orlando Lsighton,
which was on its way over Tukey's Bridge.
The driver said she appeared rather confused
in manner aud, when the sled had nearly
reached the other end of the bridge, Miss Gill
patrick got off and went to the railing. She,
apparently, leaned over, and whether she had
an apoDlectc stroke, or sudden dizziness, or
the act was Intentional is at present unknown.
A man named Drake saw the act and
with the assistance of another man, got to the
spot as quickly as possible without the aid of
oars They were too late, however, as the
body, with the incoming tide, had imme-
diately fioated under the piers of the bridge,
and it required time to exsricats it. The re-
mains were taken at once to Rich's establish
ment and was readily recognized.
Miss Fitzpatrick is spoken of by her acquaiE-
tances as modest, pleasing young lady, bright
and lively in manners and conversation. Mr.
Blckford says the only times he has ever seen
her depressed were occasions when she suffered
from sore-throat, and then she seemed to be
afraid lest her throat would grow up. Tues
day evening she appeared gay and cheerful.
Mr.. Bickfold further states that at times she
has been subject to dizziness, and it is possible
that she lost her balance on the bridge, as
bsfo-e stated, from one of these attacks Miss
Fitzpatrick was about twenty years of age, and
her loss will be keenly felt by the gentleman to
whom she was engaged (who is one of the
steadest and most respectable young men in
town. and young man of the best of princi.
ples) as well as by her family and many &C.
quaintances and friends.
Since writing the above the coroners have
made investigation into the death of Mics
Fitzpatrick and are satisfied that an inquest is
unnecessary. The driver Of Mr.. Leghton's
sled said that she admitted to him she felt
dizzy. M Elmer Drake and Mr. Maybsrry,
the two men who recovered the body declined
to receive any compensation for their labors,
and Coroner Gould remarked they are the
first "whte men" in such matters be has met

Col. Blood,s Insanity,

Mr.. EDIToR,-In ths PRESS of yesterday

G. E. Clifford: "rhs New Era is q semi-free
love paper. filed with the insane rawlings of
Colonel Blood. Victoria Woodhulps divorced
Or self-divorced, husband, and conversations of
George Francis Train :"
The readers of the Press are informed by
this that the insane raviags of C1l. Blood that
fill the New Ezra, make IL a sem free love
paper. If Mr.. Clifford has read the New Era
recently, he knows that the state ment is false
if he has not done so, having made the state.
ment, it is malicious to the New Era. Since |
have had editorial charge of tina New Era, not
word, pro or con, has appeared in its columns
in favor of free or Opposes to slave love. Those
who talk aud write about free love as insane
rawlings would do so more honorably to them
selves If they would keep in mind that slave
love il hs logical and only converse to free
love. A love that is not free is slave [ pre-
fer the free; Mr.. Clifford Is welcome to the
other sort.
There Is no doubt however, that the sense in
which the phrase Is used in the PRESS as above
was that of last. IL mai better have said a,
aud then there would have been no misundsr-
standing of its intent. But this sense, as one who
bslieves in no love save free love, refuse TO

The members Of Unity Lodge can congrata-
late themselves upon thu brilliant audience
which greeted them last evening. The pro-
gramme was even more excellent in its execu-
ton than its promise, showing that there is

friends among the other talent of the city. The
committee desire specially. that thanks should
be extended to those ladies ani gentlemen not
members of the Order who so kindly assisted
them, namely-Mrs. Isadora Loud, Misses
Kennard. King and Grant, and Mr.. Farrell.
Where all the parts were SO well taken, it
