Aleck Devino, farmer living in the
east part of Westford, was murdered
in his own barn at about six O'Clock
Monday evening. He went into the
barn to feed his stock, accompanied
by one Curtis Pooler. About twenty
minutes afterward he was found dead
at the feet of his horses, showing evil
dence of having been kicked. It was
at first taken for granted that he had
been killed by one of his horses, but
the absence of Pooler led to the sus-
picion of foul play, The body was re-
moved to the house and DIR. Jenne
was called. On examination he found
evidences of other wounds than those
inflicted by the horse and was strong
ly of the opinion that murder had
been committed. Before the eviden-
ces of murder came to light Pooler
had fed. He went directly to Con-
stable Whipple's and told him he was
wanted at Devino's and then told Mr..
Whipple he was going to Fairfax to
get another doctor. The murderer
was arrested Wednesday morning in
Westford. He was coming back to
give himself up; he claims he did the
shooting in self defence.
