THE BARRON MURDER.
Mrs. Chase Denies That Her Husband
Made "a Confession.


Mrs. Chase, the widow of William Chase,
who, it has been reported. had made the state
ment that her husband, before his death, made
confession duplicating his brother and CDR"
Allan, in the Barron murder, has been inter-
viewed by Boston Globe reporter. She de-
MES that she ever said that her husband made
any confession to her. She admits, however,
that some time after the murder, they were
talking about man who called himself DIR.
Allan, who had disappeared few days after
the affair, and she asked her husband il he
thought that he had anything to do with it.
He said, 81 will tell you this much, don't
think Dr. Allan killed him, bat he had that
money"
The "Dr.n Allan referred to, who represent
ed himself to be phreHologist, travelling sur
geoH and compounder of medicines, appeared
at the house of a Mr. Moore in Dover, in the
December before the murder. He was almost
in rags. His shirt was fairly torn from his
body. He had no clothing worth designating
as such, and his shues looked sadly the worse
for wear. He carried no parcel or bundle. He
left in December and returned in January. He
made the acquaintance of the Chase boys, aud
together they travelled about that section, sell
ing essences, extracts, and if reports are true,
something stronger than the law allows. Dur
his time visiting the neighboring farmers, pro-
Tossing to cure ills and perform many wonder
fal deeds.
On one occasion he slammed sickness, aud
remained in bed nearly three weeks, giving
out that he should die at midnight on one oc-
casion. He was a most profane man and it
was said that he went armed. The day before
the murder he disappeared, and did not show
up until the day following the tragedy. Soon
after he exhibited several large rolls of bills.
As be was almost penniless before the robbery,
it was thought very strange, and his only ans
wer as to where he obtained so much money
was, "Ob, I can earn money as we'll as any
one"
-Four days after the murder he disappeared
aud it is said he was last seen heading towards
Canada. Since that time no enc has seen or
heard from him

A Place for the FranikIin and Somerset
Railroad.
NEW PORTLAND, March %. 1894

RaxAFOads
New PORTLAND, March %, 1884.
To the Editor of the Press.
Thursday, April 3, at Porter's Hall, Strong,
will occur the final hearing on the approval Of
the location Of the Ffanklia and Megantic
railroad at which time also decision will be
arrived at as to the rejection or approval of the
location of the Franklin & Somerset and North
Arson &New PortIandroads. That the railroad
question is the all absorbing one is evident to
anyone travelling through Northern franklin
and Western Somerset counties. Should the
petition for approval of location of the Frank
lin & Somerset railroad be the second time re.
jected, it will be continued as a disregard of
the wishes of the people, and that, although
this proposed road is practicable one and
will open up territory with more business at
the start than the Sandy river railroad bad
when built, vet, because few gentlemen con-
nected with the Somerset railroad object be-
canse 1t will take away small portion of their
business, the wishes of several important
towns are to be disregarded. Had this rule
been enforced the Somerset railroad itself
would not have been built, or in fact, hardly
any railroad in the State of Maine.
This is the argument your correspondent
hears talked by the friends of the road.
The situation IS represented by the advocates
About one year ago people OF this section,
which will include all or portions of the towns
OF New Portland, New Vineyard, Lexington,
Flagstaff, Dead River, Eustis, StrattoD King
field, Freeman, Jerusalem and Pennington,
decided that narrow guage railroad was
necessity to open up and develop the rescnrc-
es OF this part of tue State, aud what is known
as the Franklin & Somerset railroad was or
gsnized and permanent survey made last
fall. This road would have been approved and
no doubt built the coming summer and fall
had not the Somerset railroad became alarmed
at the prospect OF losing portion OF its BUSH
ness and organized rival road known as the
North Anson & New Portland railroad, prom
Using to build the same if the Somerset &
Franklin was abandoned. Strong on the San
dy River railroad, also fearing the loss of its
Kingield trade, succeeded in interesting Sa
lem and Kingfeld, so that the FIR nklin &
Meg8ntic railroad was also organized and sur
veyed this winter, the object of both TO Ids, or
the projectors of the same-being the defeat
OF the Franklin & Somerset railroad rather
Than to build any road themselves. The only
road there is any projects of being built or that
is wanted by the great majority ia this section
is the Faankiins& Somerset. North Arson
does not want or mean to have any road;
Strong does not want any road. But to throw
dust in the Commissioners eyes, these opposi-
ton roads are being pushed just now to stave
OF the only road that means business. The
Commissioners having been over the different
routes and seen for themselves can now decide
Understandings.
