There was no doubt that the assassin
had been at work.
The Judge of instruction and his
officers investigated the case and
arrived at the conclusion that murder

The valet told what he knew about
the family troubles and the fact of
Nine. Sasson and her children having
left their home the previous day on
account of what had passed between

the valet related the incident of the
revolver.
But how had any one entered the
house? Jean Chauban, the valet,
testified that early in the morning, as
he was taking the milk at the garden
floor, he observed that the side door
of the house was ajar, and going in
that way, closed it after him. The
garden wall was high, but an expert
climber could easily scale it on either
side.
The gensdarme on duty near by,
testified that between 10 and IL
O'Clock the previous night he saw a
cab standing within few hundred feet
of the house. He spoke with the driv-
er, who said:
"Some gay old bachelor must live

Just disappeared by the side OF the
house"
The cabman was easily found by
the police. Did he know the lady?
No. Where did he take her up? On

the Faubourg st. Honord. Nine.

but there was no avoiding it-Mme.
Sasson had assassinated her husband
and the missing articles were taken
merely to turn aside suspicion. She
had lived unhappily with him; he
had determined to reduce his
establishment; he had struck herl All
these facts were testified to by domes-
tics. Then came the episode OF the

Arrival of the sardinian.

Steamship Sandman of the Allan line
reached her wharf at this port at noon yes
terday. She brought six cabin, six interme-
date and twenty-nine steerage passengers,
besides cargo of 2O3S tons. Captain Smith
said yesterday afternoon that the Sardini-
ans passage was not particularly rough
one for this season of the year. The heavy
storm which prevailed here last Saturday
was encountered by the Sandman Sunday,
when the ship was off Cape Race, the wind
blowing in squalls with great violence from
the southwest and the storm being accom-
panied by driving rain. The fact that the
wind here was from the northeast and the
storm accompanied by snow while off Cape
Race it blew from the southwest and rained
is phenomenon of interest.
The Sandman arrived off this port Tues
day afternoon but owing to the thick vapor
occasioned by the intense cold of the atmos-
phere, it was not prudent to run into the har-
bor and the ship was consequently brought
to anchor off Fort Preble at half past eight
in the evening. The tide was out yesterday
morning and it was one o'clock before the
steamer was made fast. She is considerably

ALLEGED PENSION FRAUD.
A Prisoner Caught in a Heap of
Beans.

Yesterday Roderick Mcdonald, claim
agent of Topsham, was arrested on the klch-
mond road by United States Marshal Bisbee
and Deputy Sheriff Despaux- as an
aide to Marshal Bisbee-and brought to this
CITY on a charge of conspiring with Miranda
A. Richardson, alias Miranda A. Davis, to
secure pension for the said woman against
The laws of the United States. 1t seems that
the woman married Richardson, who was a
soldier in the war of 1872, and later, govern
ment claims, she married Davis After she
was married to Davis she, through McDon-
aid, in 1879, secured pension of So month
as Richardson's widow. although the law
does not grant pensions to widows of soldiers
if they apply for the pension after taking
second husband.
Deputy U. S. Marshal Smith arrested Mrs.
Davis in Gardiner ON two charges, one for
conspiring with Mcdonald to secure the PEN
sion, and the other for obtaining it.
Both prisoners were brought to Portland,
and Mrs. Davis had "a preliminary examina-
tion before Commissioner Rand yesterday.
She was held in $1,000 bail and committed.
She stated in the court room, though not on
the stand, that after she married Davis she
found he had second wife living, and there
fore she argued she was not lawfully married
to him and had right to obtain the PEN
sion. W. M. Bradley appeared for Mrs.
Davis; District Attorney Bird for the gov
eminent.
Mcdonald pleaded not guilty, and his case
was continued until this morning at 10
o'clock Messrs. n. S. Briggs and F. S.
Waterhouse appeared for him; District At
torney Bird for government.
The arrest of Mcdonald was quite an odd
one. Marshal Bisbee telegraphed Deputy
Sheriff Despaux of Brunswick. to arrest
Mcdonald at Bowdoinham and hand him to
him at the train. Despair went to Melon
AIDS house, and at first the latter agreed to
go with the officer. His house stands ON the
verge of Sagadahoc county, piece of woods
being located in the rear. When Despaux
expected him to get into the sleigh Melon
aid started off, telling the sheriff that he had
no right to arrest him as his commission ex-
tended only to Cumberland county, and took
to the woods. When Marshal Bisbee arrived,
the two officers found that Mcdonald had
a relative living near Richmond. There
were two roads; one Despaux followed
through this wood and tracked Mcdonald
in the deep snow to the high road. That
made it certain he must have gone to his
relatives. Bisbee and.Despaux came to the
house, with which large barn is connected
At first the family denied that the man was
there, but the Marshal became satisfied he
had not got away, for the fields of snow all
round the house and barn were untrodden.
The house was thoroughly searched, and
then the barn, without success. Finally, in
one corner were seen some beans that had
not been threshed. Despair prodded at the
heap of beans with the pitchfork, when all
at once there was yell. Despair jumped
and seized his man, and, in a few moments,
with Bisbee's help, Mcdonald was secured.
1t is reported that Mcdonald has large
claim business, some 200 cases being in his
hands

1t is again necessary to apply to the citi-
zens of Portland in behalf of the work room
of the Associated Charities.
The most effective appeal we could make
would be look into our rooms on working
days and thorough understanding of what
is attempted and accomplished as far as pos
sible. Thirty women are now receiving
work weekly. Others equally worthy and
needy are sadly refused for want of sup
plies. The long continued business de-
preston is telling most severely upon our our
worthy poor, cutting off the sources Of labor
and the work we give them is a thousand
times more welcome than aims. Donations
of money or material are earnestly solicited.
Sheetings and shirtings, bleached and I'M
bleached; Lonsdales, nainsooks, ginghams
and prints are materials most desired. All
should be of good quality to ensure sale of
the garments.

tributions from Mrs. F. Ell. Gerrish and from
