The AssaiIants of Young Joseph BouIet
stiI Mt Large.

The police are still busily engaged on
the Joseph BouIet case, but have thus
far been unable to find any trace of the
assailiant of the young man. ''This is
about the boldest case that have known
in my experience in this city," said
Deputy Marshal Firth last evening. "It
hardly seems probable that such thing
could have occurred and yet I have no
doubt that it did. This young man
Boulet, it surely seems to me, has told a
straight story"
Yesterday, Charles Davis appeared a
the station and stated that he was one of
the men who had assisted Boulet in be-
ing rescued from the water Monday
night. Davis said that he was walking
across Portland bridge at that time when
he heard cries for help. When he first
looked down over the bridge he saw no
body, but still hearing the cries and look
ing again saw young chap struggling
in the water. Then Davis rushed to his
assistance and helped to pull Boulet from
his perilous position.
Boulet is at the station awaiting funds
from friends in Worcester, Mass.

if Despeaux Investigated these rumors
but up to an early hour this morning had
not reported anything on the matter.

freshed after days vacation, can be de-
