Charge of Murder.

John Deane With an Axe.
Story of a Tragedy That Excited
People of Town of Maynard.

Lowell, Mass, May 3.-The trial of
Lorenzo Barnes, wood chopper Of May
nard charged with the murder of John
Deane a Maynard farmer on December IL,

sion previous To the murder was missing.
Ii was the belief that some one assaulted
Mr.. Deanc in his house after he returned
from milking, as can partly filled with
milk was found near his body
Barnes was arrested on suspicion the
Sunday after the murder. He had been
seen coming from the direction Of tie
DeAne house about o'clock on the after
that he had been spending money in n
Maynard barroom. The fact that Barnes
had money seemed of sufficient impor-
tancc To warrant his arrest, as he was well
known to do little work When taken TO
the police station at Maynard and
searched, one of the officers pulled off
Barnes boots two receipted coal bills
belonging 20 the murdered man fell on
the floor and about g in money was also

chased pair Of rubber boots on the day
of the murder putting them on in the
store ana taking the old ones with him.
Ilo threw those over the bridge into the
Assebot river, and went on TO kivelin S
saloon. The police found the old boots
on the ice i'm the river and discovered
blood stains on them. The evidence was
presented before Judge Keyes, who held
Barnes for the grand jury and an indict-
ment was found. John G. Burke, of
Lowell, has been assigned To assist John

Hearing Given on the Case Against
An Administrative.
Lower Court Had Ordered That Ber Bond
be ChanceriZe1.

There was a hearing in the Appellate Court
this morning on the defendants exception in
the case of the Municipal Court OF Provi'
dence et al. against Catherine McElroy' al
ministratrix Judge Douglas in the Common
pleas Division Of the court decided that the
bond of Mrs McElroy must be chancerized
for the full amount, in order that certain
judgments against her which she had failed
IN nav might he recovered. Mrs. McElroy,
through her attorney, Hugh j. Carroll
claimed that the court below erred because
IL was shown that the estate was insolvent'
and hence the bond could only be held for the
amount of the estate coming into the hands OF
tha adu1nistratrix. In behalf OF the com
plainants,i it was contended that testimony had
been introduced 20 show in tho lower court
that the defendant had colluded with another
creditor 10 defraud the estate. Mr.. Carroll
harshly condemned this statement
Irving Champlin, with whom were associat-
cd John T. Bodgett and II. g. Curtiss fur
tber argued that Judge Douglas after full
hearing Of the case, had decided that the
bond should be chancerized for the full
amount because the defendant had not acted
honestly with the estate and the bond should
be held for the payment of judgments.

MOTION DENIED.
Mr., Allen Failed to Have
Jury Instructed.
Plaintiffs In SeamOn Case Put
In More Evidence.
Continuation of Trial OF Action
Against East Greenwich.

When the testimony in behalf OF the
plaintiffs in the suits brought 10y Jose
Andreda Seamon and wife against Levi
n. Fits, town treasurer Of East Green
wich, which are being tried in the Com
mon Pleas Division of the Supreme Court,
was all in, : w. X. Allen counsel Tor
the town. asked that the jury be instructed
To return verdict for the defendant;
Mr.. Allen claimed that notice had not
been given the town within % days OF
the accident and also that the town was
entitled To notice of the defect In the
highway. He called attention 10 the fact
that the Legislature had given the East
Greenwich Water supply Company power
to Law water pipes in the streets OF the
town of East Greenwich ana that the
town had no right to prevent the excaVa-
tions being made. Mr. Allen 1urtner
urged that there was no evidence lhae
the town or any. town official or even any
citizen knew of the defect for the testi-
mony showed that bicyclists went over
the place without trouble. The deiect
WAS caused by heavy rain storm anu
the erst intimation anyone had thaI any
thing was the matter with the ROAD was
when it slumped and the plalntin morse
fell in. A.
The road had been dug up when the
ground was frozen in order that some
obstruction in the water pipe TO MI.
ALIENS house might be removed. The
accident occurred in May, lo9o, some
eight or nine weeks after the hole hau
been filledup. 49,.
William II. Greene, of counsel for the
nlaintiffs. in opposing the motion quoted
from the public statutes, to show that all
public highways shall be kept In good
repnir and said il made no dlfference
whether the defect was hidden or not.
He also argued that this obligation 10
have its highways in safe condltlon was
n superior duty on the part oil the toWn
TO ALI other duties and sald the toWR
should have 40 watched the ming up oi
the hole when the water pipe Tvns hsea
that any slumping would have been I'M
possible. - 49,
Judge Rogers did not seem to think the
testimony showed the town authorltles
were at fault, but before ne ahhouIco9
his decision counsel Tor piaihtills hshcu
leave TO introduce testimony TO show that
the filling of the hole bad been careiessiy
done. u,o
Snryevor Weeden was called. He said he
had charge of the highway where the
excavation was made, and dld not pay
much attention TO il. The ground was
p frozen mt the time William Coudry
testified that il the hole was hlled win
frozen dirt a Jumps could not have talled
to result -,
Tho Jury was again excused ana Judge
Rogers said he thought the plaintihs had
been greatly strengthened by the testl-
mony of the last witness, so he would
deny the motion of the deiendaht

taken by wires running along Dyer and

running along over the guard rail of the

toward Market square will have to be
taken down as the new foundation walls
OF the Wey bosset bridge are to extend to
the outer side of Crawford street bridge.
This will make "a demolition

running here were all put in new a short
time ago but the march of Improvement
compels them to get out of the way tem-

TO the west side of Dyer street and new
poles have been erected for them. On

Mr.. Joseph stated that the necessary
amount for the cotton mill has now been
raised and as a guarantee and protec-
ton 10 ali the STOCKHOLDERS, Slu,VOO more
would have to be raised and the com
mittee would proceed to canvass the city
to raise this additional amount, and
those who had subscribed might feel as
sured that their stock was a safe invest
ment and all would be well.
The meeting was strictly one of bust
ness and speech making was not in or
der.
Every one present appeared to be elat-
ed over the work and the public can
feel assured that the factory is now
certainty beyond a doubt.
