Hale, judge of probate for Piscataquis
county, who shot himself on Thursday

faulter to an amount exceeding 500, 900
He had been town trustee for 30 years,
and served without bond until last year.
Since his death, holders of notes in sums
all the way from $1,000 to $1,000 have been
coming in, and 1t appears that he had
hired these sums at different times in the
towns name. The town books contain no
record of these transactions
Judge Hale was buried yesterday, and
the town officers demanded the books of
the administrator and are now engaged in
investigating. The last town report
showed an outstanding loan of $840l25,
bnt notes already found make the amount
from $50, 900 to 5000, and they are still
coming IN.
1t is not known what Hale did with the
money. He had been living we'll and sup.
porting the appearance of wealth, with
little visible property. His home in Fox
croft was in his wife's name, but he
owned some real estate in this and adj

Hale was universally respected and es-
teemed and bore a spotless reputation
The reported defalcation has caused
great sensation in town, and many con-
ficting reports have been circulated 1t is

The effect of this simple note upon Brant

irresponslbIity-that had always affected
him at such moments. Again, as at Robes,

warm silence broken only by military band
