Lieut.. Hatch I1tsi Waved Regarding
Muster.

BANGOR, Aug. 23.--Lieut. L. 4. Hatct
of the 1S.h U. s. Infantry, who has beer
attending the militia encampment last weel
as government inspector, was in the city
Saturday, says the Bangor Commercial
on his way to Orono to attend to some busi
ness matters and say good bye to the many
frienis he has made there duri' three
years residence. He leaves Sept. to ,ir
his regiment at Fort Clarke, Texas. taking
his family with him but expects to come
North again before many years.
Lieut.. Hatch expressed himself to the
reporter as delighted with the week which
he had passed at Augusta and surprised Al
the fine showing that the militia mske'
upon such poor encouragement. He said
that the crying need and, in fact, the only
need Of the militia WAS money, the present
appropriation being utterly inadequate tt
the needs Lieut.. Hatch believes that thi.
need will be met by the State before long
as it gradually dawns upon the legislator
how much good the militia is doing.
He vent on and praised Gov. Burleigh
for the interest shown BY him in the troop,
and said that he knew the men appreciated
it fully. The Chief Executive vas out Z
number Of nights until long after midnight
testing the efficiency of the guard, and th'
encouragement which he wa, able to give
in this way added in no small degree to the
success Of the instruction given. Lieut.
Hatch was loud in his praises Of the Gov
ernor for other reasons.
In speaking of the Bangor delegation he
he had only complimentary words to offer
The Hsmlin Rifles, he said, did fpe wors
while Capt. Chilcou wes every inch sol
der. Another Bangor eff GER who came il
for praise was Lieut.. J. Z. Mitchell, who
was one Of the very best officers OF th'
guard FOE the entire week, Lieut.. Hstct
said. He exhibited perfect familiarity with
the tactics and was successful in handling
his men. According to Lieut. Hatch. Ban
gor ought to be very proud Of some Of hel
off icers.

When be had served seven years in state
p ison and made good his escape 70 TexAs,
he returned in . very few months to Salem,
Mass., where he vas born, aid his father
and mother died. and where his aunt and Q
cousin lived. Not content with that, he
, returned to the very locality where his
childhood vas spent and all bis crimes
committed, and begins to work almost
under the walls of the prison, where IN un-
! served senteocs Of eight years hung over
him. and, vhsr he had committed capital
crime, and people thirstsd for bis blood,
he could not hy from the region Of the
Com ecticut. but fingered even after he
knew that the Wafdens' uspicion had been
aroused.
He at empted to fly two nights before he

turned, as be said. 80 - to be near Christie's
grave, but really In obedience to an instinct
- strong in him ~ that which sends
hunted hare to its burrow.
When Mr.. ID. Fl. George Of North Thet-
ford, W., returned home last night, AMI
said that be believed the wounded man,
whom he had seen 1T the WheeIock House
at Hanover, va. their former townsmsn
George II. Abbott. there WAS decided
sensation among the few to whom he con-
fi1ed hi, suspicious
They ali sgseed that they would come TO
Hanover today and see II they could dis.
cern in the lineAments Of the bedridden
murderer the familiar features Of George
Il. Abbott.
Not oil who came were admitted, because
some Of them didn's arrive until the edict
against further visitors had been issued for
the day. But among those who did get 10
were Mr.. Marx Ware and Mr.. Frank Viii
cox Of North Thetford. They entered to-
gether. ,h ,rtly after IL O'Clock. There is
no doub, that the trend Of the murderer's
thoughts had been somewh changed since
they appeared. Up to that time he had
seen no one that would recall any day back
Of the hour when he appeared on Albert
Wsrdsn's hay field.
HE loohed up when We entered" said
Mr.. Ware yesterday, ''and kind of start
led look came into his eyes. He did not
say anything. 1t was that look Of recog-
milton In his eyes that told the story. He
had too much nerve to let his face betray
him but that first surprised look in his eyes
no will power could control. He knew
that We knew who he was
"You are sure he is the man are you?'
was asked.
'As sure - am of my own identity"
replied Mr.. Ware.

DIDN'T BELIEVE ABBOTT STORY.
But Now Conyin He and Almy One
and Ssme.

HANOVER, n. II Aug. 23.-The usual
quiet Of the Sabbath in Hanover was dis.
turbed by the arrival Of large number Of
old acqusin.spces aud relatives Of George
Abbott, alsis Frank e. Almy. Notwith-
standing the fact that Warden Oates Of
Vermont state prison, aud two subordinate
officers sf that institution, with several
Tnetfofd people. yesterday identified the
| murderer as Abbott not few refused
to belie We it. They defended the position by
saying it was simply preposterous to sup
pose that Abbott, with an unexpired term
Of seven years haDg giDg over him and re-
| ward for his capture, would be SO foolish
rs to come back to \ place within dozen
miles of the prison whose doors are stll
open for him, or the town in which he
lived so many years and where his robbsries
and deeds Of violence had driven people, As
= matter Of self defence, to shoot him
down, eleven years sgo. They argued
further, while he had not hung around
stores Of the village when his duties on the
Warden farm did not require his presence
there, as hired farm laborer usually does,
YET he attended plenty Of public exercises
at any Of which he was likely to meet for
mer acqusintances. |, his choice Of =
tor slriaI artist whom he frequently visited d,
he selected one in the most conspicuous
location where he would often sit reading
in plain view Of every person who passed
along the principal street Of the town. Those
who did not look at 1t in that way
are unshaken in faith as they remembered
that Almy, ever since the murder, has been
located everywhere except in this vicinity,
and that BY the same line Of Reasoning,
w: that his method Of escape would be
that Of the average man. The events OF
the forenco on practically removed all doubt
in the minds of upbelievers that the prisoner
is Abbott. Almy was seen this mornit by
ex Sheriff Solon X. Berry Of Tbetford. q
neiahbor Of Abbott, Who in his his official
capacity bad captured and held Abbott in
Gus ody in 1880 and before.
Mr.. BerrJ says: at is rank nonsense to
say this man i, not George II. Abbott. |
co nd pick him out Of million men. and it
makes no difference whether txamioation
of his body shows supposed small SCARS or
not He is the man beyond all question" !"
Ephriam E. Wilmont, Olcott, VI, brother
of Abbotts own mother, WAS among the
prito ooeis visitors today. He was accom-
panied by A. C. Cambridge, formerly Of
Thetford. Mr.. Wilmont says: ~ have
not seen George since he was 10 Windsor
prison, the man on the cot upstairs Is he. "
Mr.. Cambridge WAS Of the came opinion.

here in the course Of ten days or . fort
night. and establish his residence In this
place.
He did not think Of noting this purchase
until very recently, but AZ inquiry among
horsemen Of experience and good judgment
decided that 1t was one Of the very best
pieces OF track property in the State, and
he promptly took the same at the figure
named by Mr.. Gerald. II is his purpose to
improve the place in various ways, though
Of course il will require time to bring about
all the changes that he intends to make
He will provide . good deal more stable
room than there is upon the grounds At
present. enlarge the grand stand, build .
new judges stsnd, do more or less work
upon the track, make repairs upon the

for the place, and Of course will assist him
