MAINE DISPATCHES.
ON THE EVE OF THE TRIAL.
The Two Prisoners Show Great
Anxiety.

Special To the kennebec Journal
BANGOR, Feb. 10.
Perhaps not at the opening of any session
OF the Supreme court in this city, has there
been such interest manifested. In the
hotel offices and smoking rooms the four
great trials form the only topics of conyer-
satiou and they are discussed most earnestly
by all who have watched the proceedings of
the past week. Stevenson's and Stuart's
cases are, however, subordinated to that of
Stain and Cromwell This is the case of all
that attract so many witnesses, such an array
Of legal talent, so vast an army of newspaper
reporters and correspondents. Indeed it now
looks as if the whole court room would be
needed To accommodate the members of the
bar witnesses and reporters wishing to attend,
and big money will be offered next week for
a chance to get into the room and listen to
the evidence in any of the great cases.
Tonight Stain has paced his cell almost
constantly. He is very nervous and has
given several times, vent to his anxiety by
expressions tnat show That his former cool
ness has in great measure left him. He
blames the newspapers for all his trouble and
has made several threats. Cromwell is also
very much different in his conduct and man
ners. He has scarcely taken any notice of
the books and papers that lie about his cell.
The Indictment seems To have been a dis
appointment to them. For if the evidence of a
few witnesses of the prosecution has been suf-
tcicnt to hold them for the murder of Cash
ier Barron, it appears that when the full evi-
dence is introduced at court, the case will be
pretty well proven against them. 1t is
generally understood that the prosecution
has evidence of u very startling and conclus-
i've nature. The prisoners seem to under
stand this, and herein may lie, cause for this
anxiety. Every effort will be made by the
defense to win the case but o-night there
seems TO exist general opinion that Stain
and Cromwell will have to spend the remain
der of their lays at 'rhomaston.

the hymn before the Sermon which was

Farrar preached from Lamentations and
devoted almost his whole address to
pointing out in the concrete the les

by the noble life of Milton. He
said once more we are indebted to the Amer

ANOTHER HORRIBLE CRIME.
M. Beals Son Believed to Have Placed
the Strychnine in the Whiskey SrE



It is believed now that the liquor which
caused the death of Mr.. c. c. Beal, was not
poisoned before it left Boston but that one
bottle was taken from the barrel and strych-
nine was put into it by person in the place,
and that person is suspected as being MIR.
Beal's ovu sou. The liquor remaining in
the bottle AN the stomach have both been
sent to Brun-wick, for analy sis. The
ply stefan here believes that the bottle con-
tanned enough poison to kill forty men.
Young Beal has been watched since the
sad occurrence and it is said his actions have
been very queer. lie has been very jealous
of his younger brother and thought that his
father placed more confidence in George than
he did in him. He has been heard to remark
that if the old man was ont of the way, they
(meaning his brother and himself) could run
the business,
The excitement over the case has not
ahated in the least. but has rather increased.

The representatives of San Francisco claim

national committee for the selection of their

national convention. They think they are
certain to secure it, They offer free trans

spondents and free entertainment to dele
gates. The attractions of California resorts
are dweit upon in their appeals to committee
men. Nevertheless the general impression
still is that the convention will go TO Chicago
or st. Louis, probably the former. The
nomination of Cleveland there would un-
doubtedly give Chicago the prestige. Its
central location is, however, its best reason.
The President has no choice.

weeks ago, should be sufficient warning to

In the protestations and loving embraces Of
their lovers. Andora Trcxell fell from

tinue to fall until the end Of time, for 1t is
but human to err. AS to the man, who
wrought this fair creatures ruin and death,
NO word can be said in palliation. The
whole business was planned coolly and
deliberately with malice aforethought, with
only the saying of his own reputation as an
object; what cared he, unprincipled, cow
