Superior Court.

TUEsDAY.-State VS.. Charles H. Whitman. Adult
terry. The government testimony is nearly if not
quite concluded. Annie Small Lucy E. Grant, Au
retta Bell testified substantially the at the
other trial The experts upon handwriting testified
that they had doubt that the letters heretofore
introduced are in the same handwriting as the two
pages of the school report which DR.. Whitman adj
mits to be in his handwriting. Mrs. Hannah Little
field, for whom Annie Small worked while at the
Cape, has just returned from voyage at sea with
her husband, and not present at the other trial.
She testified to watching Annie night, seeing
her get into DIR. Williams carriage and drive over
towards the Reform School. She followed them
some distance with her horse and carriage; saw
them when they returned two hours after, and
recognized DR.. Witham in the carriage. The next
day she discharged Annie.
The counsel for the defendant objected to evil
dence tending to show adulterous acts subsequent
to the date alleged in the Indictment but the court
overruled the objection and admitted the testimony.
After reading the letters which were in the former
and the stenographers report of the cross ex-
animation of DR.. Witham in that case, where he de-
cnes to whether he wrote the letters or not
and whether or not he ever carnally knew Annie
Small, the court adjourned until Wednesday morn
ing at 91a o'clock.

HAINEs, THE MURDERER.
An Attempt to Do at Bangor what he Did
at Rockland.

The Bangor Commercial says that while
Haynes was in Penobscot county Jail in Ban
gor serving out his imprisonment for stealing
his uncle's watch he conceived a plan some
what similar to the one which he so successful
ly carried out at Rockland. The facts at the time
were kept quiet but in the present excitement
they have been made known to us. He was
placed in our county Jail in the fall OF 1877.
He remained in Jail just year, his sentence
OF twelve months running from the time OF
his first imprisonment He soon became one
of the pets of the crusade women who often
visit the Jail and in this way gained liberties
not given many prisoners. He finally conceiv-
ed the diabolical scheme of killing the turnkey
of the Jail and gaining his freedom. Martin
Estes, the present turnkey, had been acting in
that office then for few months. Haines'
plan was to get out of his cell during the night
and when Turnkey Estes would open the door
early in the morning he was to rush at him
and kill him with some weapon and then es-
cape. Haines worked on the lock of his cell
and took out two small screws from the inte-
rior works of the lock. His idea was that he
could get the lock in such condition that af-
force it open and get out of the cell. He also
broke several pieces of iron off from his iron
bedstead. They were large and heavy and fear
full blows could be struck with them The
plan in regard to the lock did not work as well
as Haines expected. When the turnkey
locked the door at night, Haines tried his
hardest but could not force the door open.
When the turnkey came in the morning and
tried to unlock the door he could not get it
open for some time. He found the lock had
been tempered with and an investigation fol-
lowed. Haines was stripped of his clothing
and a suit of blue frocking put on him. He
was taken to one of the dungeon cells and kept
there fully three months. The turnkey after
wards learned from one of the prisoners the
full plan of escape that Haines had arranged.
Haines had told it to this man after it had
failed The escape therefore of tragedy in
our Jail similar to that at Rockland was mar
row one. 1t was about fifteen months ago that
this was tried.
