this point the Morning Post remarks:

most safe to write defeat across the

VOLTS NECK.
Talk OF Its Purchase and Adaptation "a
an Exclusive Summer Colony.


Mr.. and Mrs. Charles +. Conant, with
sister, Mrs. James MaoNichois, have
been in Freeport for several days recent
iy, looking at various pieces Of real
estate in the town. Mr.. and Mrs Conant,
at present living In Back Bay, Boston,
have resided in Europe for ten years, and
Mr.. Conant was for seven years in Aus
tralia. Mr.. Conant already owns a
farm OF $50 acres about mile from Free
port village. Already owing property in
Treeport, he ran down for few days,
and with h. G. Townsend, land surveyor,
and notary public, spent three days in
that vicinity. A portion of the time was
spent in Yarmouth, but the, property that
appeared TO suit Mr. Conant best Is in
Freeport, and is the estate known as the
Mallet purchase on VOLTS Neck. This
purchase includes inIthe neighborhood of
294 acres in the prettiest part of the
town. The point Of land which was SO
fayorably looked at by Mr.. Conant has a
shore line Of three miles. He already has
cottages at Mt. Desert, at Nahant and
other summer resorts, and IL is under
stood to be his plan, In case he decides to
purchase in this town, to lay out the prop
erty into summer resort which shall be
built up on rathsr exclusive lines.

INCREASING LIST
OF Witnesses In the Murder Trial
Expenses Will Amount to
Big Sums,

The list Of witnesses in the Anna Z.
George case continues to grow daily.
One hundred and sixty persons have
already been subpoensed, and indications
are that more will follow. The witnesses
for the defendant reported to Clerk Cas-
selman Tuesday, and today the states
witnesses are having their names in
scribed on the clerks docket, Wit
nesBes receive 81 per day from the time
they report to the clerk until they are
excused. Should witness report today
and his testimony be taken ten days
hence he will receive $40. As the wit
nesses subj H uaed yesterday are not
likely to be called for four OF FIVE days
at least, from the time they reported, a
seemingly unnecessary expense is in.
Cured in this respect alone. Murder
trials, however, are always expensive,
and this one no doubt will cost the
county pretty figure. The fortunate
witness who reported today and is
called three weeks from today may
appear few days later with new suit
Of clothes and the price to break 1t in
all at the expense Of old Mollie Stark.
The following additional witnesses
have been subrenaed for the defense
and are to report Monday, April 10;

THE WOMAN In BLACK
May Have Been Man In Black-A
Theory That May Prove
Tru0,

Among the various theories advanced
at the time OF the shooting by those
who do not believe Annie E. George
guilty of the crime with which she
stands charged-and there is a host of
those who believe her innocent-was
the theory that the shooting might have
been done by man dressed in woman's
clothes. ''May not the woman in black
have been man in black; that is, man
disguised in a woman's black dress?"
was the question asked and no one
could say nor has said that such could
not have been the case. Now it is un-
derstood the defense in the case now on
trial has positive assurances that man
so disguised, was seen on the night
prior of the traggic occurrence, in vari-
Gus parts Of the city. What the man
did or intended to do that he should
meander over the city in such disguise
is not known. tits said however, that 1t
is known that man 80 disguised was
seen in different parts OF the city, but SO
far the defendants attorneys have been
unable to locate the fellow by any wit
ness In the vicinity Of the shooting,
Should they succeed in doing this an
other startling phase In the celebrated
case win present itself.

at least three men yet on the jury who
had been inquired of.veryE Ecloselylgas to
their qusli6c itions when they first en-

have them on the jury, and had done its
best to be rid of them for cause. At
least two of them must remain on the
jury unless removed peremptorily by the
defense. In place Of Mr.. Swigart the

dren we're taken to the poor house but
shortly thereafter they were adopted by

Attorney Miller is anxious to learn any
information that would lead to their
discovery.

George, the Oldest son of the accused,
had a seat behind his fair mother and
was an intent listener to the proceed
ings. The crowd was light. but there
were many waiting in the Railways. But
two attorneys besides those engaged in
the trial were present though there are
usually several. Attorneys attend cases
Of this kind, as there are questions
which arise that are interesting and
worthy of note. The selection of jury,
however, makes it necessary to follow
beaten paths and we'll defined practice,
which accounts for the absence Of attor-
neys.
. The work of securing jury was taken
up at once at the session. Seven had
been secured, subject to peremptory
challenge, and, as has been noted, some
of them had formed and expressed
opinions. They had qualified by saying
that evidence might remove that. t.opinion.
What the opinion is cannot, of course, bs
known, but ii is a potent fact that the
state used every means that could be
devised, within the statutes, to remove
for cause at least four of the jurors who
qualified Tuesday. The defense does not
seem to be afraid of juror who has
formed and expressed an opinion. Ordi-
narily, Juror who has formed an opin-
ion that 1t might require evidence to re-
move is not wanted by the defense. Pub
lilo sentiment is ofteneP against than for
the accused. This is the first murder
case in Stark county for many years in
which jurors with an opinion are wanted
by the defense. The sentiment has been
in Mrs. Georges favor, and for that
reason it is safe to imply that of four
persons who have an opinion about the
case, three have one that Is not unfavor-
able to the accused. This is note
worthy fact and one which may have
potency in the result,
