Ex-MAYOR AN EMBEzzLER.
Fritz II. TwitcheII of Bath AcISnowI-
edges His Guilt.

Bath, Me-, Sept. 1.-Ex-MayOr Fritz II.
Twitchen, one of Baths most prominent
citizens and a member of Gov. Powers
council, and well known in business circles
in Maine and Massachusetts, rs q confess
ed embezzler.
The amount of the embezzlement. Is
placed at 100000, but it may exceed that
sum.
1t is alleged that for the past fourteen
or fifteen years. during which time Mr..
Twitchell has been connected with the
Worumbo Woolen Manufacturing Com
pany, various sums have been appropriat-
ed by him
These amounts were charged TO the ex-
pense account so that the business had
not become involved at any time. When
confronted with the evidence, Mr.. Twitch-
ell acknowledged his guilt, but 1t is
thought no prosecution will follow, as the
one most deeply involved is Galen S.
Moses. treasurer of the mills, who is in
cined to treat the matter as one Of per-
sonal wrong rather than an instance Of
criminal intent.
Mr.. Twitchell, who Is at his summer
home at Popham Beach, is in very
poor health. He refuses to discuss the sit
uatlon.
The disclosures in the case were precipi-
tated by the personal assignment of Mr..
Moses, which was announced Tuesday,
and in which Mr.. Moses himself says
more than 100000 worth of property Is in
Volved.
Mr.. Twitchell was chosen Mayor In
1891 and 1892. He was sent TO the legisla-
ture in 1893 and 1895 and this year was
selected member of the executive coun-
ell
He has been grand commander of the
Masonic Commandery of Maine, and Is
past grand chancellor Of the knights of
Pythias.

When DIR. Hayes, Buffalo, N. Y, an
nounced nearly twenty years ago, that her
could cure Asthma SO that the sufferer
would stay cured, few believed him, for they
doubted the permanency of the cures which
he established. For many years Dr.
Hayes has been issuing annually his "Thesis
with Reports of Cases." each recurring sea-
son strengthening his positionj and it is
remarkable fact that many of the first cases
reported are still represented in his book,
for they have stayed cured-some for nine
teen years, some for sixteen or more years,
others for twelve, ten, eight and six years.
The names and addresses Of the patients are
given in full so that anyone who now doubts
may consult the former sufferers freely. DIR.
Hayes practice now extends not only to
Great Britain and the continent of Europe
but to India, Australia, New Zealand and
South Africa as well. Each patient is
treated individually by separate prescrip-
lions varied from time to time as frequent
correspondence shows is needed and in this
way success is attained in even the most
difficult and obstinate cases, Any sufferer
or person interested can obtain the latest
edition of DR.. Hayes book on application
