HUNTED FOR HIS LIFE.
HALL, THE MAINE MURDERER,
FLEEING FROM JUSTICE.
Thu story of u Base and Reckless
Younx MAXWELL Educated, but
of Very Di,soluic IIab.t..

Edwin B, Hall, who fed from Monson,
Me-, on the morning OF the Fourth, after
numbering Alexander Mckinney, is the cid
est son OF L, II. Hall, wealthy dry goods
man Of Bangor. The son has been way
ward youth for years, and some time ago he
was placed in Monson by his father who put
in fine stock of goods and told him the
store was his, and that he must make his own
way. The young man was of fine address
and highly educated, and he quickly made
many friends, Ho was at that time pos.
ses ed OF d S olute habits, which he con
tinued, finally wedding u beautiful girl, who
soon lift him. Young Hall neglected bust
ness, and soon the stock was gone and he
was again forced to seek his fathers aid 1t
is sad that he secured work in the Bangor
store, md one night, taking the days sal 5,
departed for the west, the amount of money
being about 5000 This he spent in riotous
living, and again came home, when his
father cast him out. Ginning to Monscn he
entered on wild life living for I most
part in the woods, md being at times clearly
out Of his head. He received occasional aid
from fond mother, and thus luit two
camps in the woods, and there reckless
crowd often gathered, where drinking,
gambling and other worse crimes were COM
mitted He tried to borrow money en- The
81, and no doubt the attempt to OBJ hi, COM
panion followed. His method of flight was
laundering. First he bought ticket through
to Bar gor and left the junction on train
which connected with one ut 1esgor going
west The conductor asked him, as he knew
him, if he was going through, and Hall said
he was, so the conductor retained the ticket.
Hall, however, got oil at Guilord and asked
the stage driver if he connected
with the western train at Dexter,
and, gett ng an affirmative reply,
lode there and bought ticket for Bos-
ton. 1t thought, howev +, that he would
be Likely to take Grand Trunk train and
work west as no has been there before, and
is infatuated with wild lie. He could be
traced, however, if the tickets taken up that
day should be examined. as his may have
been the only one purchased for that train
from Dexter to Boston. Reports from Ban
gor say that his relatives will seek HIM, and
expect to secure his inc irceration in some
asylum. He has been a noted poacher, has
loafed about the town, and few people will
be sorry for his absence, although all have
sympathy for his mother. Young Hall has
often boosted of how his mother stood by
him, but never seemed to appreciate the fond
devotion and love which she showered upon
him
