STAY OF PROCEEDINGS.
Orders Given Not to Arrest Engineer
Marquand.
BOSTON MAN WANTED FOR HE
GAL MOOSE KILLING.

Suspended-No Statement Made as to
Why This Was Done-Certain, How
ever, That Prosecution Has Not Been
Abandoned.
Boston, November "A MESSAGE was
received by telegraph this morning at
police headquarters from Gov. Cleayes OF
Maine instructing the Boston police not
to arrest Philip Marquand of 70 Kilby
street on the charge of illegal killing of
q moose in Maine. At police headquarters
this afternoon no explanation could be
given of the peculiar action OF the Maine
authorities.
Chief Watts said that Inspector Harris
paid visit to Mr.. Marouand's office
this morning and was told that he had
not yet returned. Then came the teie-
gram from the Maine authorities. 1t
was addressed to Wallace E. Berry. the
inland fish and game warden who came
on to take Marquand back to Maine.
The despatch was brief, simply stating
that the warden was to return imme-
diately to Maine with all tho papers in
the case. 1t is stated by the police that
the Maine agent was very much per-
turbed by the publication of the story in
the Boston papers.
At the executive department., it was
stated this afternoon that after the pa
pers had been granted to the Maine
authorities and the warrant issued for
Marquand's arrest, the latter's partner
called there and said Marquad had al
ready paid fine for killing the same
moose. The only explanation that could
be given of the strange and hasty recall
OF the Maine warden is that the author
tiles had discovered flaw mewhsre
or found that the case had previously
been disposed of in the Maine courts.
A reporter for the PRESS saw Gov.
Cleayes yesterday, and he said that, for
satisfactory reasons, temporary sus-
pension of the service of the warrant for
arrest was requested.
1t is understood from reliable sources
that the prosecution of Mr.. Marquand
has not been dropped, no fine has been
paid by him, the affair is an extraditable
one, and the requisition papsrs were all
correct.
WHEN MARQuAND is IN MAINE"
Game Commission Carleton Tells a Re-
porter What VIII Happen.
Augusta, November ia special to
the ournal from Waterville says: "Hon.
Leroy T. Carleton, chairman of the State
Fish and Game Commission was in
Waterville Saturday, and in conversation
relating to the now famous Marquand
ease.ssys the Case was particularly ag
greyating one. Carleton was at Eagle
lake at the time Of Marquand' 4
arrest and says the head of moose was
found In some brush where it bad beeu
hidden. Marquand was given parole
after having given the officer who &C.
companied Carleton 500 as a guarantee
that he would appear at court when
wanted.
"This he failed to do and Carleton is
provoked about the matter for, as he says,
~ las Sue W bo boO CCluuOu GIllQR IOl
sportsmen to come here and shoot moose,
deer or caribou in close time and getting
out OF the state unapprehended, think il
is all right. Carleton intends to prove tc
all poaohers that getting out Of the stats
does not settle for the violation Of
law. The case in hand is expected tc
prove the above and Carleton is NO,
fooling in the least. Marquand employed
J. B. Peaks of Dover for counsel, and
Col. Peakes failed to prod uce his client.
He howey mas offered to settle, provid.
Ing the head OF the moose be turned
over to his client. This Carleton says
cannot be done and when he found that
the Bostonian appeared to be rnconcerned
In the matter, Carleton took steps to
require him to settle just as any other
peacher is required to settle. The case
will be tried in Orono when Mr.. Mar
quand is brought to. Maine.
