THE PARKMAN MURDER.

the Cause.
BANGOR. June ga correspondent of the
Wing and Courier writes concerning the Park
man murder as follows: Alvin T. Wilson, the
victim, was about 80 years old. He went
home on the night Of the tragedy about p. m.
and retired. 1t is supposed the murderer en-
tered the house about midnight and that Wat
son was awakened by the noise and was at
tackled while passing into an adjoining room 1t
also appears that Watson succeeded in reach
ing window and called for help, as blood was
discovered on the window sill and his cries
were heard. He received 50 cuts in all, some
of which were struck to the hilt of the knife
used, any of which would have caused death
The victim was then dragged outside and left,
as light was seen in neighboring house
and the body was found early Monday morn
ing.
Samuel Chadbourne, deaf mute of IS years,
has con fessed the crime, and his knife was
found in his pocket covered with blood. 1t
appears that there has been trouble between
Watson and the Chadbourne family for some
years, it being claimed that Watson was ;too
intimate with Wallace Chadbournes wife.
The mute and other members of the family are
under arrest.
