Something of His Past Life as Learned
by Journal Reporter
Especial to the Kennebec Journal

Special to the Kennebec Journal
LivERMoRE FALLS, April 22.
Great excitement prevails over the start
ling news Of the murder of Mrs. Ida Stevens
daughter of Hon j. H. Ladd of Gardiner by
Edward Chase Of New York, but formerly a
resident Of Livermore, mot East Livermore
as has been stated.) Edward Chase is the
son OF DIR. Eben Z. Chase, one of Liver
mores respectable and highly esteemed
citizens. The Doctor is dentist and for
merly a resident of Chicago, but about 10
years ago moved to Livermore to take care
OF his aged parents-where he has resided
up TO last fall when he went with his wife to
New York City and it is understood was
employed by an electric light company.
There we're but two children, Edward and
daughter Bessie, who married Mr. r. A.
| Ryerson of North Livermore, where they
have since lived loved couple by all who
know them
Edward Chase is about twenty-eight years
Of age and came from Chicago with his
low and handy with carpenters tools lie
worked for some time on the farm where his
family lived and as one party said though
little inclined t, be lazy was not considered
IA bad sort of boy"
Between four or five years ago he met and
married Miss Lora Timberlake, a daughter
of one of Livermore's best families Chase
took his wife to his own home at first but
shortly after hired and furnished tenement
house just across the street from his fathers
and began housekeeping. Everything seem
ed to move on nicely at first, but after II
lime the neighbors noticed his uneasiuess
and growing disposition to be away from
nome and his wife. Balls and skating rnks
were his favoritc resorts. Ii was soon notice
able that he paid much more attention to
some girls, that he here became acquainted
with than was justifable for a man in his
circumstances, and it was thought that
everything might not be just as it should.
Chase was at a rink at Livermore Falls
when one of his children was born and
t-.rty was obliged to go after and take him
home. There are three children, two boys
aud girl.
About this time Chase came to this place
and obtained situation in the Umbagog
Pulp Co.'S works, but as he did not prove
satisfactory, was soon turned off. After
ward he returned to his home for time
Last year he went TO Gardiner for work and
1t was there that he became infatuated with
Mrs. Ida Stevens, boarding near the place
where she lived. After time Chase went
To New York City where his father had pre-
viously moved, working there until the past
week when he brought up in Portland, where
he met Mrs. Stevens and committed the
terrible crime of shooting the woman and
attempting to take his own life in a similar
manner.
The news of the tragedy was crushing
blow to the young wife, who has correspond
ed with Chase and was awaiting his return
to his home and family. She has the sympa-
patty of her many friends who surround her
in her bereavement The heart broken
father, mother and sister also have the
sympathy of all far and near who have heard
of the terrible crime.
