THE OTHER SIDE
Of the Elisha S. Case Sen
SatiOn.
Winthrop People Discredit the Asser-
tions of Mrs. Haynes.
Believe Mrs. Robbins and Mr.. lockwood
Victims OF Cruel and Unjust Suspicion.

WINTHROP, Sept. 17.-(Special. )-The
body of Elisha s. Case has been examined
and nothing of importance has as yet been
discovered, but his daughter still persists in
his unnatural death. Taking all in all the
case is certainly peculiar one. People
who know both parties have wide differ
ence of opinion.
The daughter, Joanna, formerly lived
and worked at this place and people who
knew her at that time could no doubt tell
better of her character than those who have
only become acquainted with her through
her consp'cuousness in this recent case.
Mrs. Mary Robbins, the lady at whose
house MIR. Case died, is lifelong resident
of this place, as well as her brother, Mr..
Hiram lockwood. Both the former and
latter have the best of regulations and en-
Joy the general esteem of the community
While they have the name OF
being economical and saving in
money matters, yet it is the mind of the
people at this place that neither ore would
stoop to anything of disreputsble nature
for pecuniary gain, admitting that Mr.. Case
ain. Another thing, it is said on good
uthority that day or two before Mr.
Case died. he called on Mr.. Yeaton, one of
he selectmen of this town, for help, and
Mr.. Yeaton notified the town of Readfield
% that effect. Now, if Mr.. Cese bad any
property, why did he call on the town for
aid? 1t seems evident, therefore, that Mr..
Case had nothing.
After he had called on the town, Mrs
Robbins, it is said, told him that he could
have home at her house as long as he
lived.
Now only one side of the story has been
told, and that by Mrs. Haynes. Now for
the other side. Mrs. Haynes Gays she was
not notified of her fathers death, and only
learned of it by accident through Mr.. Whit
ing. The reason that she did not was
because she was not at home. Mr.. Rock
wood, on the Sunday morning after the
death of Mr.. Case, drove over to her home
to notify her of the fact, but the house was
shut up. 1t is said that she was at Read
field Corner, in consultation with Judge
Emery o. Beane, trying to get him to take
hold of the affair.
Mrs. Robbins is sick in bed as result of
the nervous strpin to which she has been
subjected.
IL is only justice due to Mrs. Robbins
and Mr.. lockwood that the facts of this
case be brought to light. When this is
done the general opinion Of people in this
vicinity is that they will be found to have
been the victims of suspicion as cruel as
it is unfounded.

"HANDS up"
The Story Told by Frank Doe OF
North VassaIboro,
About Two Highwaymen. Who Robbed and
Then Shot Him.

WATERvILLE, Sept. IT, (Specia) The
little "burg" of East Vassalboro, off few
miles down the proposed narrow gauge
railroad, from Waterville to Wiscasset, has
a genuine sensation of its own, today, and
its thriving people are in fever of excite
ment over an affair which occurred as the
people were vending their way home from
the evening services of the churches in the
quiet village, Sunday night. AS well as the
facts could be learned by the JOURNAL
reporter, it was case of deliberate high
way robbery, carefully planned and well
carried out, followed by pistol shot, from
which the victim, Mr.. Frank Doe, we'll
to-do resident of the place, is now suffering
the effect.
Early this morning, DR.. Mabury tele
phoned DIR. Thayer of this city to come at
once to East Vassalboro, to assist in dress
ing wound in the leg of Frank Doe, say
ing that the man had been waylsid, robbed
and shot the night before. The doctor
found n bad flesh wound above the ankle
but, by probing, could find no trace of the
ball.
The JOURNAL reporter went to the scene,
Monday forenoon, and after learning all
possible facts from the villagers, was
gfanted an interview with the wounded
man, who told in substance the following
story:
81 started from Murry's hotel, at Nortl
Vassalboro, between 8 and 9, last night, to
come here. / am in the habit Of being Out
alone nights, a great deal and never had
any fear of doing so. Last night, | walked

building, saying, Here he is now and
told me to put up my hands. l asked him
what for, and be repeated. oh you
hold up your hands," at the same time
thrusting a revolver close up to my face
and did so at once. 1t was then not fs,
from o'clock, dark and rainy. l couldn't
recognize the voice nor distinguish the
mans features.
After held up my hands another man
came from behind the building, who went
through my pockets, taking my wallet

pocket and some silver, which don't know
whether was taken or not. After the fel-
low had gone through my pockets the other

officers are in hiding in the city under the
protection of friendly Coreans.
The number of Chinese killed in battle
is estimated at $500.
The walls of Ping Yang are badly shat
tered by this cannonade poured upon them
by the guns Of the Japanese, the city itself
being slightly damaged.
The Japanese emperor telegrsphed, con-
graduating the marshal, Count Yamagsts,
upon the success of the japanese armies.
Marshal Yamagata issued general order
commenting the valor of the troops demon
strated on the battlefield. The order con-
cludes with an expression of pride on the
part of Marshal Yamagsts as being in COM
mand of so brave an army.
A flying column of the japanese army is
pushing northwsrd, with the object of
taking possession of the mountain passes.
A proclamation has been issued, promising
full protection to the Coreans it they will
refrain from acts of hostility toward the
Japanese. They are informed, if they
give shelter TO or engage in traffic with the
Chinese, they will be summarily dealt
with by martial law.
A dispatch from Toxic says that continu-
Gus artillery sslutes are being fred in cele-
brstion of the victory of the Japanese army.
The Shanghai Mercury prints special
edition containing dispatches from the
front, and in its editorial comments
upon the result of the battle expresses
full appreciation of the crushing defeat ani
the great slaughter of picked troops COM
prising the Chinese army engaged. The
paper dilates upon the consequences of dis
aster to the Chinese army, and impresses
well grounded fear of speedy Japano Sc
invasion

FALL River SITUATION.
Determined to Bring the Operatives 10 Terms
Say Manufacturers.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Sept. l7.-Tonight
it seems the plan of manufacturers is to
push the operatives to the wall and exhaust
as far as possible the resources of labor
unions, particularly those of the spinners
which are feared by the agents.
eff in the end it becomes evident that
values are somewhat real and it is not ne
cessary to wbittle them down to a lower
basis wages will undoubtedly be restored,
meantime it is proposed to put on the
screws and teach the help that they would
have been better off had they consented to
work for what they could get. There are
agents who do not endorse this plan, who
argue that it was fortunate thing for the
corporations that the weavers remain out.
Companies that have been carrying big
stock have been especially benefited. The
weekly statement shows, if the mills con-
tinued to run on full time there would now
be over million pieces on hand, and in all
probabilities the market would have been
below 2 3-S cents. This basis would have
been low enough and nobody would have
been happy. There ought to be no great
risk in starting on 3-cent market, with a
surplus of 100000 pieces, particularly when
there is no objection to running for months
OH a much lower market with 500 900 to
100000 pieces on hand. This city practi-
caly controls the market for print cloths,
and can manipulate it any time without
causing distress to labor, provided the
manufacturers will act together as they are
acting now, and it is not necessary to stop
every factory for a two months stretch to
produce the desired result.
1.-The operatives accepted one cut down
without the slightest hesitation AMI cannot
be blamed for accepting another on top of
it in case they think they can improve the
existing condition by taking vacation.
They have labor to sell and have as much
right to sell it on the best terms possible as
Employers have to prop up the market or
curtail product. They also have a right to
combine to make the power of their organ
izations as effective as they cen as long as
they do not resort to violence" These are
the quoted remarks of one of the large
stockholders, today. He hopes break
may be made in the manufacturers ranks
in few days.
Much interest centres in the action to be
taken by the Globe Yarn and Sanford
Spinning Companies, in view of the restora-
ton of wages at the Kerr thread mill. A
member of the executive committee of the
Manufacturers Association said, this after
noon, it mattered very little to that body
what action they took, inasmuch rs it was a
violation of the term of the original agree
ment, when Agent Sanford offered to COM
promise with the spinners and carders.
Agent Sanford WAS in consultation with
Secretary bonneville, this afternoon, and
it is generally believed by operatives that
he will soon reopen the gates of his con-
cern. Such concession would not be re-
garded as a special victory on the part of
the operatives, from the fact that New Bed
ford and Taunton yarn mills resumed
operations under the old schedule, some
days ago.
