turned up to give them any clue to the
whereabouts of the men. 1t looks like a
long hunt.
No stock is taken in the Union river theory
and it is thought the Eddington man must
be mistaken. If the murderers are anywhere
they are around here. When Graves is well

Sheriff Field and his men have not given up
the hunt.
BANGOR, Nov. ~.
When Graves brother, who was at Bar
Harbor heard the news of the Fletcher Brook
tragedy he Immediately went to Hancock to
see Calvin's family and his mother. He,
Calvn's brother, was seen around the prem
ises Thursday when the Bangor officers were
present and the resemblance was so striking
that they thought they had found their man.
But they had heard of the brother and when
he explained, the circumstance was under
stood. Graves has other brothers all of whom
look much alike, but the Bar Harbor Graves
and the murderer have so much Of the same
look that an Ellsworth gentleman who is ac-
quainted with both of them says if they were
dressed the same he could not tell "who was
who"
Among other things with which Weston,
the Bangor photographer, was engaged FRI
day was the copying of the murderers' pic
lures which were obtained at their homes by
the Bangor officers. The likeness of Graves
is accurate and the picture was the only one
of him which his wife possessed. She gave
it up Willingly and sorrowfully. The mur
derer has a very intelligent countenance
which never would remind one of anything
criminal. There are two pictures of Nc
Farland, one taken in his younger days when
he had smooth face and long curling hair,
the other later when he had beard, but was
poor in flesh. He does not have a bad look.
At times suspicious have been entertained
that the murderers, possibly Mcfarland, had
visited their homes early Tuesday morning
before the intelligence of the crime came out,
but, of course, this is speculation and has no
substantial foundation. Tuesday night as an

a voice and lodged out of sight. Soon a wo-
man came out and called: "ls that you Cal?
If it is, come in, there's nobody here but US. Z"
Probably the woman mistook the officer for
Graves. for the former waited and could not
see anybody about the premises.
1t is said that Mrs. Graves is completely
broken down with grief, fearing that she will
never again see her husband alive, or, if she
does see him, it will be in prison. hrs.
Mcfarland is more calm and repeatedly

Friday morning Oscar Tracy of Saltwater
Avenue, was seen near the police station.
He said that he was called up at midnight on
account of his sick horse and had to come to
the city for medical aid When short dis
tance from his house he met two men. one
tall the other short; both carried guns. he
thought they had full boards. On his return
home his wife told him that during his alb
sepce two strangers had come to the house
and asked for matches. She did not go to
the door ana soon they went o'Si '
the Burleign Pease barn.
Tracys house is but two miles from the
station and in few minutes Detectives W.
4 Reed and G. w. Hartman were there.
Mrs. Tracy, who was questioned, said that
while her husband was away one man came
to the door, knocked and ratified 1T and SAID
he wanted matches to light his pipe. Inen
he went across the road towards a strip OF
woods. She could not tell definitely about
hi. having a gun or about his face; but he
was alone. He might have gone to the oarh.
