aud stated that after thoroughly reviewing
the testimony given he had come 10 the con

dcncr to convict his client, and he would
ask for the discharge uf sullivan and would

Tie public will mdOrsC the sentiments cX
pressed hy the court, and. while there was
no conviction had in the case, still II was
plain 10 all present that Rusnnna Graves

should have been severely punished. In the
report of the frs, days trial the evidence of
Patrick Graves. as printed, would lead many
tO suppose he had testified that his wife was
dead. This was all error, as the witness said
nothing about his wife, and the fact is that
she is in tie land uf the living, and not de.

were put TO him by Mr. Williams In regard
la the character uf hie duugltcr, and posi-
lively asserted that noihing whatever was

Young Stains Story Will Need Further
Proof
WArEKvILLr. March 6.

WArERvILLE. March 8.
l.. ID. Carver of this city sent to Lawyer
Barker at Bangor this morning the news of
u startling discovery of evidence, which will
destroy the testimony of young Stain in the
Stain-C Cromwcll case. In substance it is that
during the months of June, July, August,
and September 1871, Charles Stain worked
for Charles Harvey Lamb in Winslow. Mr..
Lamb is dead, but Mrs. Lamb has her hus-
bands books in her possession and from
them the dates are proven. A gentleman
named Goodrich has been in town and took
especial pains TO go to Mrs. Lambs and ex-
anime the books. He says they are as re-
presented 4 man naued James Robinson
worked at Lambs at the same time and
remembers Charlie Stain. After leaving
Lambs. it is learned, Stain in October work
ell for farmer named Cyrus Howard in
Winslow. Furthermore, young Stain Joined
the Good Templars lodge at North Nassal-
horo and the records have been examined,
the date having been found to be June, 1877
when he became member. During the
winter of 1877 he worked in a factory at
Watervillc. so it is said. All this being
proved, it destroys young Stains stories
about his trips from Medheld to Maine with
the gang in july and November 1877 and
will perhaps give groun for new trial

The inspectors informants have it that
Foster and Whitney went to East Newport a
year ago to rob Bennett, having carefully
planned the job in New York, and failed At
that time it WAS claimed for them that Ut.
Weed was then prime mover in the gang and

GONE WRONG.
A WaterYille Clerk Embezzles $1,000.
The Old Story OF Small Salary and Ex
travagant Living.

special 10 the kcnnebec journal.
WArKRvH.LE, March g.
The sensational particulars of an embez-
Element case in Waterville have just leaked
out although every effort possible has been
exerted to keep the matter quiet. Il. C.
Dinsm0re & Son, one of the largest boot and
shoe firms in this city, so it is currently re-
ported, have from time to time suspected
that clerk in their employ has
been approprating small sums of
money for his personal use. He
has received small salary, but has always
lived extravagantly, in manner far beyond
his means. His employers suspicious of his
dishonesty began TO increase as they investi-
gated more closely his style of living, and
they began to watch him carefully. As a
result of their Investigations he was caught
in the very act of slipping the proceeds of
sale one day, into his own pocket. He was
Immediately accused of. this theft and of
others. He confessed to it and owned that
he had appropriated in all, at various times,
about $500. His employers estimate that
their losses will, however, amount to s 900.
The clerk has held the confidence of his en-
ployers and has been many times intrusted
with the sole management of the business.
His pecuations have extended probably over
his entire period of employment. 1t is stated
by many that he has been accustomed to sell
goods and pocket the proceeds, when his
employers have been away. One of his Gus
toms was to steal quantities of leather and
sell them to local shoe makers, receiving his
pay III instalmens of a few dollars The
clerk is young man about % years of age,
and of pleasing appearance. He is
of a refined and cultivated disposition and
commanded very good trade. The affair
was kept very quiet until last evening, when
it became the general topic of conversation.
lie has not yet been arrested and it is thought
that the affair will be settled up.
