made flying visit to Spencer. Deyoix
knew too well, however, the conse-
quence of his crime if he was ever cap
tured by the officers of the law, and
took the greatest precaution to keep
out of their way.
He did it in good shape too, as they
not only were unaware of his presence
in this community, but never dreamed
that he would ever dare to again come
to Spencer. He did come, however,
and has now gone, and the police are in
as much of a quandry tonight concern
ing his whereabouts as they were on
the night of his elopement last Septem-

The fact is, Devoix has just come to
I Spencer on a flying visit to his par
ents, who reside in North Spencer. He
came to Spencer on the Worcester and
/ suburban electrics, and in order to
avoid passing through Spencer, left the
car at Moose Hill farm and walked in
roundabout way through upper
Wire Village to his home in North
! Spencer. Mr.. Devoix undoubtedly
made this move in order to avoid be-
ing seen by any one who should happen
| to know him.
1t was learned by The Spy man this
morning that on the arrival of DeVoix
in town, he was met at Moose Hill
farm by John Lamb, a student of the
David Prouty high school, and resident
OF Wire Village. Mr.. Lamb, who was
seen Immediately by The Spy man, said
that he did meet Devoix at Moose Hill
farm, and walked as far as his home
with him. Mr.. Lamb stated that De-
YoiX, on their way home said that he
hao come to Spencer to see his wife,
who was very sick at the home of her
sister, on School street. Devoix, how
ever did not see his wife, but went
to his fathers house in North Spen-
Tcer instead.
Inc long-lookedfor man also told Mr..
Lamb that he was living in the vicinity
OF Burlington, Vt. The police, however.
thlnk this statement is false, and that
DeVolX IS not in that vicinity at all bur
SIMPLY told this as blind Aside fro a
tnese Iacts ne disclosed nothing upon
which the police can work. He did NOT
mention Miss Cote in any way So that
