y OF long ago the PRESS published az
ART iole relating the circumstances of the
somewhat mysterious disappearance OF
young man named Robert Richardson,
from the boarding house of Mrs At

that on the Goth of last June young
man Game to Der house on Blackstrap
and engaged board for the summer.
He came on Thursday and gave hi1

was nineteen years old. He was very
light complexioned, with crooked littIe
finger on one hand. He remained until
Friday night, July Sd, when he said he
was going into Portland to celebrate all
night before the fourth.
Mr.. Nourse lent him nice double
barrel gun. They have seen nothing
OF him since. He paid no board, but

He also tried to get 1t cashed at one of
the neighbors, but did not succeed.

Philip Dunbar has sent in his resigna.
ton as manager of the P. H. S. team.

strong of judgment and has an h'eye

gridiron now for five consecutive years,

doing gallant service at right end. The
team will probably line up this year with
Devine at right end; r. Foster, right
tackle, ". Luce, right guard, F. Guilt
yer, centre, W. Goo kson, left guard g.
Allen, left tackle. For left end thore are
three candidates, H. Loring, W. Kinds
and NJ. Dortioos, while for quarter back
the boys who are aching for fame are 7.
Kelley, J. Dillon and H. Sullivan. L.
Underwood will probably play full back

school soon. and is expected to be a
nopartner In the glory to be achieved. T.

THE.WiLLIAMS CASE.
Judge Robinson Decides That tho Govern
ment Has No Case.

In the Municipal court yesterday after
noon. the case of Mrs. Mary j. williams
Of Boston, charged with enticing tw,
gilrs. Mary Doherty and Julia Flahert,
to leave town for improper purposes
was called on. Assistant EQUITY Attor,
ney Webb appeared for the state and Mr.
E. F. Tommpson for the defendant.
Mary Doherty and Julia Flaberty botf
testified. Mary has been working In {
rag shop since she was thirteen years old.
Julia flahsrty had not been to Bostor
since she was eight years old. and il
now nineteen. Both OF these girls testi
fed that they were told by Mrs. Williams
If they would go to Boston they could
get seventy-five cents night for dane
ing in dance hall, and make anything
they desired outside. They both testified
they were in the habit Of going to dances
in Portland. but claimed they were re-
spectacle dances. On cross examination
the Doherty girl admitted that she waE
the same Mary Doherty convicted in the
court on November 23d, 1896, for vaga
bondage, and the Flaherty girl admitted
to several convictions for intoxicatior
and serving sentences for the misdemean
or. The grist Of their testimony was Of
a nature to show that they hardly came
within the meaning Of the statute.
Besides these girls there were severa
other Witnesses, Mrs. Benson whose evil
dence was to the effect that Mary Doher-
ty told. her that her condition was such
that she wanted to get to Boston SO that
her mother wouldn't know it, and to
letters written by her to Mrs. Williams
for Mary, and letter she gave Mary
from Mrs. Williams.
Sergeant Simonds of the First police
station of Boston for sixteen years, tesri-
fed that he knew the Williams and their
dance hall, and descri bed what sort of 9
place it was, where sailors and rough
men met women to dance and drink
with them. He said the place had never
bean indicted for the reason that the
evidence to indlct Lad never been OBJ
tanned.
Mrs. Williams, the defendant, went
%
on the stand and testified, but fell In q
dead faint. When she recovered she AGAR
took the stand and testified in her own
behalf. Edgar K. Rounds testified te
going to the almshouse, of which he Is
an overseer, with Mr.. williams to sec
Mary Doherty, but his evidence was moi
important. James Williams, defend.
ants husband, testified that his stel
father, Mr.. Kenney, owned thu dance
hall, and admitted that some of the wo.
men who danced there were loose in
character, but they didn't stay on the
premises. After some other testimony
the case was presented by counsel and
Judge Robinson deoid ed that from the
evidence there had not been fraudulent
enticing of the girls in the meaning Of
the statue for, from the testimony it i.
evident they knew perfectly we'll where
they were going, and what was expected
of them. He therefore ordered Mrs,
Williams discharged.
