Digby Nova Scotia, suspicion of havln
!" murdered Mrs, Ella G. Carlton at Waterfowl
;. last month, is SO strong that his extrad ito
= will undoubtedly be asked Amero had bee
: at work farm in the suburbs of this cit.
and came into town to get rid of his money
This he ehsctually did, spending portion o
4 his time In me denssof The west end consort
with depraved whites ana blacks OF botl
3 sexes The theory is (and this is tn
a only point where something stronger thai
) mere hypothesis is wanting) that during thi
, period he frequented Cartoons saloon ans
caught glimpse of Mrs. Carlton, whose beaut,
} infiarned his gross passions. However thii
may have been, Amero is now identified as tia,
man who was seen walking hurriedly away
from the scene of the murder; as the man who
| half hour after, bought a Boston ticket a
the Mount Auburn station, ana as the man
whoswas later accostea while walking on the
track by Detective McElheny. MeElheny was
at the time very suspicious of the fellow, and
| talked with him long time. During this con-
versatiOn Amero made number of discon-
nected statements which would have resulted
| in his arrest had the detective been aware that
| q murder had been committed. The next day
about noon, Amero turned up at Bath, Me,
i where bis conduct was so suspicious that the
TACT on his being there was telegraphed to Bos-
ton. A1nero then took the train for st John.
| On board were two persons who knew him at
| his home IN P1ympton, N. s., but he stoutly
denied his identity On arriving at home his
| father, who has since made affidavit sus-
pected that ne had done some terrible thing
from has evident fear of pursuit. and taxed
him with it Amero denied everything at first
but finally said that he had trouble with q wo-
man i'll the states, and woald be hanged il he
were caught In addition 10 these important
facts, thus hastily outlined, in the prisoners
baggage have been found envelopes cores
pondlng with the one which was found Gov
cred with blood in Mrs. Cartoons hall, and
which was used to decoy her to the door. Fur
fthernaoFe, AInero has a. bad hurtson his wrist
who's is supposed to have been received in the
struggle with the unfortunate lady. He de-
MES everything but crosses himself as often
as the form of Interrogation is changed, and has
all the appearance off guilty man. The work
or Detectives Niggin and Wood, of this CITY
and OF Officer Howard, of WATERFOWL who
have apparently unraveled the mystery, is the
theme of admiration among those who are
conversant with their labors.
