NEWFOUNDLAND'S PERIL.

small firms have failed in the last two

NO CLUE FOUND
To the Murderer of Byron
Coburn of Gorham.
Hired Men Held as Witnesses Only As
Roth Can Prove AIibis.
He Had No Money-May Have Discovered Thief
in the Barn.

Portland Dec. 14.-At the Coburn
homestead in Gorham, where Byron G..
Coburn was murdered, last night, officers
are in charge of the barn where the deed
was done and are guarding closely the ex-
act spot of the outrage, with the hope OF
finding some clue which has not yet been
noticed The body of the murdered man
has been taken to the undertaken, at Cor
ham village.
Coleman. one of the hired men, who is
held as witness osbensibly, is in custody
at Gorham, while Lewis, the other hired
man, has been locked up at Westbrook.
Hon. Leander Valentine, ex-mayor OF
Westbrook. relative of the murdered
man, says that he did not have any money
and robbery could not have been the mo-
tive He thinks it the result of quarrel
or that thief was discovered by Mr..
Coburn in the barn, who used the axe to
prevent his being found out.
There is some talk that Lewis is being
held on suspicion of being the murderer.
He was at Abner Lowell's, however. un-
til about T. 30 O'Clock, and had been absent
only about 90 minutes when he returned
and told the Lowell family of the mur-
der. His time during these 30 minutes
is accounted for by Mrs. Kimball, the
ousekeeper, who tells of Lewis coming
in, then going to the barn at her request,
finding the body of Mr.. Coburn, and this.
added to the time it would take him to
come and go to and from LowelPs house,
seems to give him a satisfactory alibi.
Coleman was at Lowells all the time.
The affair seems still to be wrapped III
mystery and it is doubtful if much light
is thrown on the tragedy until the inquest,
next Monday, which will probably be held
in private.
Coburn, the murdered man, has been
in feeble heath for 25 years, owing to IN
juries received from n falling pile of
boards. Some 10 years ago he had a
severe illness in Portland, and during that
sickness staid at Mrs. kimballs house.
That is how she came to be his house
keeper.
There has never been any gossip about
the relations of Mr.. C0burn and Mrs. Kim
ball. Some years ago Coburn's money
was gone and Mrs. Kimball took his farm,
on which there was a mortgage. Coburn
had been paying off the mortgage and had
arised about half of it.
