The Prosecution Will Attempt to Prove
That 1t Was Thrown Into the Ohio River
from the Covington Suspension Bridge.
Cincinnati, O., April 14.-At Newport,
KY, to-day attorneys for the common
wealth made an official announcement

Walling were together on the Coving-
ton suspension bridge soon after the
murder of Pearl Bryan, and that they
were seen throwing the head of the
murdered girl into the Ohio river. They
state that this information is given out
because of the continued demands from
interested parties TO know whether the
prosecution has any evidence as TO the
disposition OF Pearl Bryan's head. The
attorneys will not let any one know
who are the witnesses in this connect
ing link until the trial begins next
Tuesday.

bv the railroad commissioners on the pro-
iected electric railroad from Bangor to
Charleston and Exoter.
The Hon. Herbert NJ. Heath of Au-
gusta represented Messrs. Libby, Gerald
and Beal, who propose to build the

whether or not the eompany's application
for charter was proper, and whether
the commissioners could grant such a
charter. The company has paid in pei
cent of the capital stock, In accordance
with the law. He also spoke of the in
adequacy of the laws of Maine regarding
the matter. According to the law, the
two organizations now in the field could
both place applications before the COM
missioners and locations could be granted
to both of them. The length of the line
was stated at 35 miles, standard gauge.
The capital stock ia $3.50, 600. The name
will be the Penobscot Central railroad.
There was a controversy over the
terminal point, and the application was
amended to state that tbs road would
run from Bangor through Glenburn,
Kenduskeag, East Corinth, Charleston to
Exeter and Garland.
Gen. Henry L. Mitchell of Bangor OPP
posed she granting of the application as
his company. the Bangor, Hampton q

to build to the same towns. The COM
missioners will decide the matter later.

In view of this fact the officials of the

of 81 800, 600, which will be able to corp-
mnnd the business of the -four mills and
