The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-08-10

dCCluSuI Two men went INTO a nelSnDoI-
ing farm house in search of team in
which to remove the body.
The people misunderstood the men,
and the story printed this morning was
the outcome
Mr.. Shea is in the hotel business in
Winsted, Conn. He was born in Fitch
burg and formerly lived there. He told
the representative of The Spy that a
fate seemed to pursue the family. His
father and the father of the dead
young man were killed by a railroad
train on the trestle beyond the Fitch
burg depot, years ago. A suit for dam
ages was instituted by Mr.. Shea
mother. The suit became famous in a
way. The Sheas retained no less dis
tinguished counsel than Benjamin F.
Butler. They lost the case, however.
He is an exceedingly bright fellow. He
Is making a careful investigation into
the circumstances attending the ac-
cident.
He says that he will not bring suit
against the railroad company unless
after knowing all the circumstances he
is honestly convinced that the company
is to blame. He has had an amicable
talk with Supt. George w. Burgess. He
is now engaged in hunting up persons
who were on the fatal car.
Mr.. Shea brought a power of attor-
ney from several brothers and sisters of
the dead man, which will enable him to
collect the insurance which his brother
held in the Foresters.
Thomas N. Doutney, the Worcester
temperance lecturer, will take the first
opportunity that comes to him to deal
In public with the evil of promiscuous
liquor selling that reigns on the surface
of Wachusett reservoir
Mr.. Doutney said this afternoon: IT
have received most favorable impress
sions of the people of Clinton during
my brief stay. They have treated me
most kindly. 1 find them In favor of
true temperance, and not of the kind
that savors of political and religious
discord.
But l am surprised that the law
abiding people of this and the neigh
boring towns do not rise in their might
and stop the traffic that is debasing the
laborers engaged on that great work
for the commonwealth, finally and for
ever. Certainly the sale can be stopped
there, because it is illegitimate. 1 I'M
derstand too that the liquor evil there
is the basis of the commissary evil.
That in fact the illegitimate sale of
beer to the laborers brings profit that
enables the contractors stores to ex-
ist,> and drains the men of their earn
1ngs in two ways"
