THE BATH MURDERER ARRESTED IN BANGOR.
HE MAKES Full CONFESSION.

HE MAKES FULL CONFESSION.
The clew to the Bath murder, which has re-
suited in the arrest and confession Of the guilty
man. was obtained at Brunswick. The week
before the shooting of Officer Lawrence a store
was entered by burglars, the door being forced
with peculiar chisel. AT the door of Gould's
store in Bath was found chisel which, when
placed against the marks made on the Bruins
wick store fitted exactly. A man was finally
traced to Portland boarding house where he
gave his name as John Elliot. 1t was found
that few days previous he had stopped at the
same house with companion, The latter call
ed himself Daniel Wilkerson and he went away
with Elliot.
The latter returned alone. Elliot left Sep
TENDER 9th, without paying his board bill, but
he left his satche behind him, and in this were
letters showing his identity beyond a doubt.
He was an Englishman, evidently of good fam
lily. WllkersOn was soon traced to Bangor and
was found in the employ of a logging firm on
the river. A revolver was found upon him.
His valise was examined and a box of cartrd-
ges found, also can of powder and lot of
fuse. The powder and fuse are such as are
used by ordinary store breakers for blowing
open safes.
On the journey from Bangor to Bath Satur-
day he made a full confession to the officers.
He said in company with John Elliot he was
attempting to force the store door when an Off
Ger discovered them. As they ran up street
Wilkerson found himself seized by both shout
ders by powerful man. He fired his revolver,
the man dropped and he rushed away and es-
capped. He stole a boat and sculled across the
river. He struck the Knox and Lincoln rail-
road and walked to the first station where he
took the first train to Rockland. He remained
there until Tuesday, when he went on board
the steamer and proceeded to Bangor where he
was arrested. Elliot has not been found.
The revolver and cartridges, and powder and
fuse he purchased in Portland. Elliot bought
the chisel in the same place. He did not know
where Elliot had gone. He further said that
he got acquainted with Elliot in PhiladeIphia
only few weeks before, and that they had
struck up partnership and had come from
Philadelphia to Portland by boat. Three years
and sentenced to three years in the Maine State
Prison. He managed to escape from the lock-
up at Bath and nothing was known of him till
his arrest on the present charge. He is sailor
by profession. Monday Wilkerson was ar
ralsned in Bath and plead guilty. He was
committed to the Augusta iail,

the work was carried ON. The meehan-

cylinder Just cast of kind of gelatinous
substance closely resembling carpenters
glue and somewhat pleasant to smell; a
large heavy cylinder covered with cloth,
which served as the press; some black

two jars of printing ink. Everything
was arranged in such manner that it
could be hidden in quarter of an hour
in large clothes-press standing in a

They explainedto me the mechanism

not that Of not. allowing him to enter,

whole of the rooms as often as possible,
having first removed everything which
could excite suspicion. When these
pretexts failed, others were invented.

for him to enter the inner room, Nine.
