FRYEBURG.
closing Day of the OXFORD County Fair

FRyRBURG. Oct. 12
The two events of today, have been the
reading of reports in the committee room at 10
a. N. and the sweepstakes at p m.
Considerable variety was furnished in the
morning by questioning the right to premiums
of several exhibitors.
Miss Hattie Pike was hardly credited with
her fine lot of vegetables, but her testimony
and that of "the neighbors" was considered
proof that the hand that plays with ivory
keys" can weed the garden patch as well.
The first premium on seed wheat was with
held until proved to have been raised by the
exhibitor.
Mr.. W. H. Stickney of Brownfeld, has the
honor OF showing the first full blooded Ayre-
shires. shown on these grounds.
The silk quilts mentioned in the first report,
are the work of Mrs. FL Baston of Hiram, and
reflect great credit upon the taste and Industry
of that lady.
There were but four entries for the race as
follows:
Harry Morrill, ...."....,.. Henry Abbott, Fryeburg
Lazy auen ..,...s.. + ank Fox, Lowell

2471, and ended the race.
The exhibition ~of jelles, preserves, catsup,

MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE.
Close of the Harmony Murder Trial.
For New England,

Close OF the Harmony Murder Trial.
SKowHEGAN, Oct. IL The trial of Eugene
Further evidence was offered by the defence
as to the quarrel that took place at the time Of
the fatal shooting.
Hon. s. d. Lindsey made the closing argu-
ment for the defence, claiming that the offence
was committed by the respondent in defence Of
his person and under sudden and great provo
cation and argued with great force that the
respondent in any event would only be held
for manslaughter.
Hon. Henry B. Cleaves, Attorney General,
began the closing argument for the State at IL
o'clock and continued until adjournment He
expressed to the jury his regret at the fearful
crime which called him here and required him
in the performance of his duty to urge the con-
viction of one of their fellow citizens, but felt
confident that jury of Somerset county would
see that crime was punished here as well as in
other counties in the state. The Attorney
General claimed that the last hope of the
prisoner for escape vanished when he took the
witness stand and detailed the part that he
took in the horrible crime; that the evidence
that fell from his own lips upon cross examin-
alton showed preparation, deliberation and
design on his part to slay his brother; that the
prisoner was not satisfied with having made
the poor wife widow and the little children
fatherless, but came here and in ordersto screen
himself undertook to attack in his testimony
the good name and spotless character OF his
dead brother. Mr.. Cleaves commented upon
the nature Of the defence interposed and ar
pued that the whole theory as to the use of a
club by the deceased at the time of the homi-
eide was mere fiction invented by the sspris-
oner" as he found the coils of the law tighten
ing about him; that the evidence demanded a
verdict of guilty, and if it was not to be rem
dered in this case all deeds OF violence and
bioodshed could be committed with impunity
and go unpunished, and we might as well close
our courts of justice and abandon all attem pts
to protect the lives of our citizens 1t is said
there is no motive shown; that the prisoner
had no motive to commit this crime. That is
immaterial because the government has prov
ed the illegal act The law declares the mo-
tive which is malice and a wicked purpose,
and so long as the guilty party is before you
We are not to wait here and hunt for motive.
He urged upon the jury the importance of the
case to the public and the necessity of render
ing correct verdict
Judge Virgin delivered very able and inn
partial charge to the jury defining the princi-
pies of law involved.
At4 O'Clock the jury returned verdict fnd-
ing the prisoner guilty of murder in the first
degree.
The trial has excited much interest and the
result meets with general approval tits
expected the prisoner will be sentenced to
State Prison for lie tomorrow.
