Keene Murderer at Large

Louis Castor, the Keene man who killed
his wife by shooting last Wednesday morn
ing, is still at large. He has been seen in
Keene several times since the murder and
even returned to the house where he COM |
nit ed the horrible deed. He has brother
in Gilsum with whom he took dinner one
day last week. 1t is believed he is roam
ing through vast forest which lies to the
north and east OF Keene. Those who are
familiar with the country say that there are
caverns in the rocks, some Of which are
connected for considerable distance and
have several openings. Any Of these
would afford secure hiding places, where
the murderer might remain until cold
weather, provided he could get food with
out being discovered. He could also hide
indefinitely in bushy trees or dense thickets
and elude even large searching parties.
| 1t is evident that some new method to hunt
the fugitive must be devised unless he
chances to walk directly into an ambush.
1t Is not known that Castor went to any
house for food either Saturday or Sunday.
This leads to the suppositlon that he laid
in asstoek while at his brothers in Gilsum
Friday .Ps He may also have stolen food at
farmhouses without attracting attention, as
he liz Known to be qnite expert as a sneak

and possibly cooked food in small guam

The Statist commenting upon the

THE accumulation of money by the

sible for the present shortness Of the

der the circumstances, the financial
troubles in st. Petersburg, we can
scarcely expect the Bank of Russia to
part with any of it's gold. While the
advance in the value of money here
will prevent New York from withdraw
