Skill In Locating Wells.

Mr.. W. P. Hastings, the well-known
organ manufacturer, says that Samuel
L. Lyford, a former excellent Portland
carpenter, has great skill at locating
wells. Mr.. Lyford lives in Dexter, and
he has located wells lately at Great Dia-
mond and Harpswell. ssMr. Lyford walks
along with a branch Of witch hazel in
either hand. Suddenly the branches are
drawn to the ground SO strongly that Mr..
Lyford has difficulty in holding them.
Here Mr.. Lyford orders stake to be
driven and he tells the men to drill there
for water. They never fail, it is said, to
find it. Sometimes at ten and sometimes
at twenty feet depth

for the first time and without seeing any
of them tried in any lock, picked out
from memory the key, attached by the
separate string, which fits theis paddock.
Mrs. Kimball says that the paddock was
a new one, and yet she claims that there
was piece broken out or worn away
from it, which we submit is highly
improbable, as, according to her own
testimony, it was new lock-
Mr.. Chase claimed that the testimony
was overwhelming that this was the
missing key to Coburns S paddock, and be-
ing so it was the most satisfactory and
tangible piece of evidence in the case.
pointing with unerring certainty to the
murderer of Byron G. Coburn, and the
man to whom this evidence points, is
not the respondent, but Edward Graffam.
Mr.. Chase called the attention of the
court to what he called unfair treatment
accorded to the respondent by the officer
in not investigating the matter OF the
key when he knew early in the case that
the key to the paddock was missing, and
with the bunch of keys in his possession
that he had taken from Graffam he
should have made some examination in
reference thereto Instead of that the
officer suppressed the fact of the finding
of the key until the trial, so far as the
defense was concerned. We say, said Mr..
Chase, that he knew, or might have
known, of its Importance in tracing the
real murderer, and yet he makes the
weak excuse that he was not asked to
produce the keys. OF course he was not
asked to produce the keys for we did not
know that there were any keys, but we
submit that when we asked him to pro-
duce the articles found in GRAHAM S
pockets, and he in reply produced some
and suppressed others, it was false testi-
mony, unfa il and prejudicial to the re-
spondent.
The counsel further claimed that the
course of the officers in relation to the
tracks found in the snow the night OF the
murder, that they made no measure
ments, fitted no boots into them, but
were his, and his story that he made
them in the morning as true, when it
must have been apparent that they were
made that night, the conduct of the
officers at tho Jail on Monday night sue
ceedlng the murder, when Lewis made
the proposition for them to have GRAHAM
placed in his cell, saying he would make
GRAHAM confess the murder-all tended
to show that the officers in charge of this
case having made up their minds to con-
vict James Lewis of the crime, deliberate
ly abandoned all clues and threw aside
all testimony tending to convict any
other man of the crime.
After summing up the new evidence
which it is claimed inculpates Graffam
and therefore is exculpatory of Lewis.
Mr.. Chase closed by saying we confident
ly submit that the presentation of all the
evidence, new and old, before another
Jury, ought to result in @ different con-
clusion, and that the legitimate effect of
the evidence, new and old, would require
different verdict. We therefore pray
that our motions may be sustained, the
verdict set aside, and a new trial granted.
Mr.. Chase closed at half past five and
court adjourned. Attorney General
Powers will reply for the State today

down East to be clear of this rather than
come up in court at ALL" that Coleman
was all right and he wished he was in
Coleman's place; his desire to break Jail
on the ground that it would save his
neck" all of which was claimed to point
directly to Graffam as the real criminal
and therefore exculpatory of Lewis.
In reference to the new evidence about
the paddock and key Mr.. Chase said :
There was found upon the person of
Edward Graffam, when he was arrested,
a paddock key belonging to Byron G.
Coburn, which Coburn was accustomed
to carry in his pocket, and which after
the m urd er was missing, and could not
be found upon his person or elsewhere,
although thorough search was made, as
appears from the evidence.
Mr.. Chase reviewed the testimony at
length upon the point as to whether the
key upon theistring found on the person
of Graffam after the murder, was the key
to the paddock or not. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mrs. Kinlball testified that 1T
was not the key and that the paddock had
been changed from the time Hill worked
there and who identified the key.
Upon this point Mr.. Chase said: But
though she testifies that this change was
made after Hill left, the fact remains
that Hill, when shown this bunch of keys
