Stain Identified in His Cell by Bangor
Woman.

BANGOR. Feb. ).
A singular feature of the Stain and Crom-
well case is the fact that so many Maine peo-
pie of good repute recognize either one or
the other of these two men. In addition to
several in Dexter, who believe they saw the
accused there on the day on which Barron
was found, certain Bangor people are posi-
tive that they have seen Stain here.
The other day lady, former resident of
Bangor, who was visiting her old home, went
with company of persons to the Jail to view
the many prisoners there. Coming to the
cell of Stain she was struck with the familiar
appearance of his face, and, after a few mo-
ment's thought recalled him as a mysterious
boarder who occupied a room at her house
five days just prior to the Dexter tragedy,
and who left in a mysterious manner. She
did not then know the name of the man nor
the charge ON which he stood committed, but
80 impressed was she that she pointed hi =
out to the turnkey and asked his name. To
her great surprise she was told that it was
Stain. The full particulars of the identifica-
ton cannot of course be given to the public,
but they will be presented in full to the
grand jury next week.
Freeman Fernald of Palmyra, will be one
of the witnesses for the State. He was in
Newport when Stain and Cromwell were
there, en- route for Bangor, and when he
caught sight of Stain he at once exclaimed,
"Tve seen that man around here before"
On reaching home he hunted up an old diary
and found recorded there his seeing the man,
and the date was the same as that of the rob-
berry

SHOT HIMSELF.
The Rash Act OF an Amherst Student

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Feb. g.
Charles +. Schweyer, freshman at Am
herst college, shot himself through the head
in his room about midnight, Saturday, and
will probably die.
He had just returned from New York
where he had a tumor removed from his
nose, and seemed respondent. He borrowed
a 30 calibre Smith & Wesson revolver from
a friend, claiming that he was afraid to go
home without it.
His friend called on him about midnight
and found him swapping the empty revolver
at his head. His friend demonstrated with
him. Schweyer coolly asked where the
most vulnerable spot on the head was. Soon
after his friend left shot was heard in his
room and Scbweyer was found with a hole
in his head passing from one temple to the
other.
He was conscious today and admitted that
the deed was premeditated. He said the pro-
fessor had unjustly charged him with dis.
honesty and he feared expulsion and dis
homer. He is the son of New York malt
dealer, who has secured a skillful physician
and started for Amherst

adjustment which created new first and sec
ond class post-ofices had not been made. II

the invitation of the Florida delegation to
visit jacksonville on Washington's birthday
with Mrs. Cleveland. He will leave Wash
ington on 'February-2l. remain in Jackson
vile little less than a day, and return
Immediately to the capital. The whole trip
will occupy less than three days. 1t is the
Presidents intention not to stop on the way,
either coming or going and he will consider
no invitations to visit Charleston, Savannah,
or other southern towns which have desired
to entertain him. The pressure of his official
duties, he says, will prevent longer absence
from the White House, and his acceptance
of the Florida invitation is based on the ex-
pectation that Congress will adjourn over
Washington's birthday.
A communication signed by ss members
