MAINE DISPATCHES.
LATER DEVELOPMENTS

WATERvnLLE, March |

WATERvILLE, March Is.
The little Warren girl is -till alive. The
physicians performed a surgical operation
Tuesday morning, removing pieces of bone
and lead, giving the girl the only chance for
life. The bullet is in her brain and she will
probably die.
Warren's hired man who it was rumored
was killed, has been found all right.
Three coffins have been brought to the
house. The funeral will occur tomorrow
forenoon.
There is a suspicion at Benton that two
men whom Warren, before his death, testi-
fed were at his house at o'clock or there
abouts on the night of his wife's murder,
know more about the tragedy than has yet
been told.
A neighbor of Warren's who went past his
house at midnight says he saw two men in
the house with Warren at that time.
Still another man tells the story that the
same two men were both at Fairfield at that
time. Warren testified that they were at his
house. The statements are conflicting and
an investigation into the matter will probably
occur. The men are not strangers.

Gone to Her Reward.

Mrs Eliza Follansbec Wilson died at her
late residence on the Thomaston road, near
Hospital street after somewhat protracted
sickness, yesterday Thursday, at three
o'clock in the afternoon. She was born in
Newcastle, Me-, Oct. To- 1928, and was the
daughter of Peter and Lydia (Sopie) Jones
of that town. When quite young, Mrs. Will
son sought and found employment in the
Maine Insane Hospital. where she remained
as an attendant for several years. Here she
made the acquaintance of Welcome N. Will
son, who was also employed there, and they
we're married Since that time, with the ex-
ception of four years In Waterville, she has
lived in Augusta Mr.. Wilson was employed
at the Hospital until failing health compelled
him to abandon labor, and he died Of con.
sumption November 20, 1888. Mrs. Wilson
had a severe attack of pneumonia two years
ago from which she never recovered, ane
like her late husband, she died of pulmonary
consumption.
An acquaintance with Mrs. Wilson for
many years, several Of them as neighbor,
enables one TO say that she was thoroughly
good woman, faithful wife and sympathetic
friend, and humble and devoted christian.
She will be greatly missed and mourned by
wide circle of relatives and friends. She
leaves one son, VIM II. Wilson, the janitor
Of the Cony High School, whose unremit-
ting care and devotion to his mother during
her protracted and painful sickness, cannot
be too highly commended. The conscious
ness of having reformed his whole duty can
be a solace in this hour of bereavement and
sorrow. Mrs. Wilson has left brother and
married sister in New wcastle and a widowed
sister in East Jefferson to mourn her death

him to the lookup. The testimony a. to his
treatment of the prisoner after that 10 very
conflicting. The officer admits that be car
ried his billy in his hand most Of the time,
and used it, he says, to prevent the prisoner
from striking him with both of his hands a
once, with the handouts on them. In this
respect we are constrained to believe that
the officer transcribed his duty or the privi-
lege of an officer, in the use Of his billy, and
that his treatment was unnecessarily severe,
and We might say cruel, in the light Of the
testimony of Capt. Mallett and Mr.. Winter,
which from the appearance Of the witnesses
and their opportunity to know, seems emit.
tied TO great weight. Hart's condition -
shown by the testimony of the doctor, was
not such as to indicate that any serious or
permanent injury was done him. The officer
put Hart in the lookup and kept him there
with the handouts on for an hour or two,
and until he was sent for to take them Of
for the doctor to dress the wounds. II seems
to us that there is no excuse for this. The
constable says this was done by the advice
and request Of the city marshal, and that
officer stoutly denies il. However that may
be, the constable must be held primarily rep
sponsible for this act. Hart was his prison.
or and he alone had the keys to the hands
cuffs. 30.
After patient hearing and careful cou2
sideration Of the case, We conclude that the
constable oversteppcd the bounds of his du-
ty in the arrest of Hart, and in his treatment
Of him after he got the handcuffs on him,
but think he was actuated by desire to do
his duty in making the arrest, and was some
what excited at the time of the arrest and
good deal more so after the arrest was made,
and probably apprehensive that some at
tempt might be made by Hart's sympathiEers
TO rescue him, which caused him TO act In q
different manner from what his cooler judg-
ment would have dictated.
Under all the circumstances aud consider
ing the difficulties these constablcs have to
contend with in the execution of their duties,
and their total inexperiencc AS officials be-
fore they accepted this Office, and the good
work that they have accomplished, we do
not feel called on to recommend the removal
of this officer, but believing that he will
profit by the experience of this case, aud
will hereafter perform his duties prudcntly
as well as efficiently, we recommend that no
action be taken in the premises.
