The East Corinth Case.


Chas. IL. Gilman the East Corinth Jew
aler, who has figured so extensively lately
in the papers as the man who is charged
with robbiDg his own safe and setting fire
to the buildings, was taken to Bangor
saturday evening by Deputy Sheriff Reed
and lodged in the county jail.
He was In rather a broken down condi-
lion, and his mind is somewhat deranged.
1t was pitiful sight when he was taken
into the cell to see the distressed appear
ance of the man. His emotion nearly
overpowered him and affected those pres
ent deeply. The sight of the cells seemed
to strike terror to his heart, and broke
him down completely. Later develop.
mentS In the case seem to how that DR.
Philbrick, who occupies half of Gilman's
store as drug store, missed several suns
of money at different times ranging from
ten to forty dollars. Gilman acted a.
clerk for him whenever he was away
On one occasion DIR. Philbrick left a Ger
tain amount of money in the drawer
noting the denominations and the mum
bers of the bills, and the next day Sl(
was missed from the sum.
Gilman said he took the $40 bill but put
two 50 bills in its place, but these coulC
not be found. Other stories are heard OF
his doings, and it looks as though
strong case will be brought up agains
him at his arragnment.
Gilman made strange statement t.
Deputy Sheriff Reed on his way to Ban
gor about the method of robbery, &C
knowledging completely but denying the
act He says that last summer he entered
into correspondence with parties in New
York claiming to deal in green goods
! pt har uisa oft g
forwards met by man who came to Eas,
Cornth last fall, represented himself a
knowing to the correspondence, claimed
to belong to gang of burglars snt safe
blowers and urged Gilman to Join them
Goods were to be disposed OF in New
York, Gilman to receive one fourth of
the proceeds.
He said he refused but afterwards the
correspondence continued, resulting in
the letter being received some time ago
saying the men would be here the 10th OF
| 18th of July to do the work, and telling
him to leave the inside door of the safe
open, they did not care for the outside
door, and advising his placing heavy
insurance on his stock. The man who
visited the place last fall represented him
self as safe agent but had business with
no one except Gilman. Gilman also said
he went to New York in June to see the
parties but found none of them. He SAYS
he took out the most valuable goods from
the safe in order to cheat the burglars.
He did not see them and only knew of
their being here by the robbery and burn
ing.
He states that he went to bed at 10
O'Clock and knew nothing of the fire until
1t broke out; statement which his wife
corroborates. Gilman admits having
placed additional insurance on his stock
fis denies knowing anything of the safe
being drilled from the inside door, as the
statement has been made, or that he
knows anything of the drilling or burning
beyond what Is stated above.
