Chester Witham Escapes to a Lumb ber
 Camp After Killing Man But Is
 Captured and Locked Up.
 BANGOR, Me-, August 26.-On the 4th of this month Chester O. Witham, aged twenty seven, shot and instantly killed Joseph Henry Turner in Somerville, fifteen miles from Augusta on the road leading from Weeks mills in China to Bruces corner. The shoot ing was done in the dooryard. Witham's father says he had fired twice at squirrel and had handed the pistol to Witham, who was handling it when it was discharged, the bullet killing Turner. There is reason to doubt the truth of this story. Witham fled and was not seen until Tuesday, when he was found in 8 lumber camp back of Passa- dumkeag. He had week before the affair threatened to shoot Turner, whom he charged with shooting a dog. He had also made other threats Accounts of the shooting by those present do not agree. Two of the murdered boys brothers employed at Worcester, Mass, arrived home soon after the shooting. No autopsy was had, but an inquest was held and the verdict rendered accidental shooting" Notwithstanding | this the officers began search for Witham, l whose reputation is bad, and descriptions of | the supposed murderer were sent out. Post | master Treat, of Enfield, was given a printed | description of Witham, and as he had noticed such a man going into the woods he sent word to Deputy Sheriff Choate of Whitefeld who went to Enfield and procuring guide
