Auburn, November Is City Marshal
Garcelon has been at work on the WHIT
ney mystery today, but has no informa-
tion which he win give to the public
John H. Ahern OF this city and Edward
j. Bewley and Herbert Hitchcock OF
Lewiston, who were arrested and placed
under bonds for alleged completely In the
case, stoutly assert their innocence, and
1t is only fair to say that many people be-
nsye they had nothing TO do with the
dragging OF Miss Whitney. Hon. ID. j..
McdiIlicuddJ OF Lewiston has been re-
tained as counsel by the respondents. He
was seen by the PRESS correspondent
this evening but would not be interview
ed on the case.
He did say, however, that he believed
the story told him by his clients AMI fully
expects, ct the hearing in the municipal
court Saturday of this week to show to
the satisfaction OF everyone that these
young men had nothing whatever to do
with the alleged drugging of Miss Whit
uey. The affair has caused profound
sensation in this city, lewiston and sur
rounding towns, and is ths one topic OF
conversation, and by many the story told
by Miss Whitney is doubted. 1t is claimed
that much OF 1t is entirely inconsistent.
Whatever may be the result of the
hearing in the municipal court enough
is known to predict that some very start
ling disclosures will be made. Officers
who have been conducting the investiga-
tion ara evidently OF the belief that they
have a strong case. Not all the facts
known TO the authorities have been given
out 60 the pnblic. The PRESS correspon-
dent is told that their Is not sufficient ev-
idence to connect the death OF Miss Cobb,
who is supposed to have bsen murdered
and then thrown into this river, with any
OF the stories OF the alleged drugging
affairs at the Sabattis dance.
ANOTHER ARREST EXPECTED.
Auburn, November 1s.-There are no
new DEVELOPMENTS in the Abbie Whit
ney case. No more arrests have been
made. but it would not be surprising at
any hour to hear that another had been
arrested on suspicion of having been con-

who have been arrested on the charge OF

are believed to be innocent by some al
though there are many who believe Miss
Whitney's remarkable story.
Sunday, City Marshal Garcelon visited
Sabattus. the scene of the alleged drug
ging, again. He obtained no new clues,
but received some information pertain
ing to the case. Marshal Odlin
said last evening that In his opinion
the JessieCobb cass could not be associat-
ed with the Whitney case many way.
~ do not think 1t is plausible theory
that the same persons figured in both
crimes. 1t is all right fO- newspaper
talk, but that's about all.
B..rhis seems to wipe away the grounds of
the theory that the murder of Jessie Cobb
and the drugging OF Abbie Whitney are
in way connected.

Interesting Ceremony VIII Take
Place IN the House Next
February.

Place IN the House Next
February.
The counting Of the electoral votes
will not take place until the second
Wednesday in February. On that day
the big hall in the House Of Repre-
s~entatives will be the scene Of an in
terestlng ceremony. All the members
Of the Senate will come over in a body
to participate and the president pro-
tenn, Frye OF Maine. will preside while
the electoral votes Of the several
| States are opened and counted. Two
Senators and two members OF the
| House. one Democrat and one Repub-
lican from each body, will be appointed
as tellers. Envelopes containing the
certificates of the electoral votes will
be opened by Senator Frye, ac-
cording to the alphabetical order Of the
States. The contents of each envel-
ope will be handed to the tellers who
will read the certificate aloud and then
make a list Of the votes as they appear.
The result will then be delivered to the
presiding officer. who will announce II
to the assembled Senators and Mem
bers and declare Mckinley and Roose-
welt elected respectively President and
Vice President Of the United States.
There Is a possibility that when the
vote Of Kentucky Is reached and an
nounced there will be some excite
ment. As each certificate Is read
Senator Frye will call for objections II
any. 1t is said the Republicans are
prepared to contest the Kentucky vote
on the ground Of frauds committed by
the Democrats. If any Republican
objects TO the Kentucky vote nexi
February. the members Of the Senate
will retire to their own chamber, and
the objections will be submitted to the
Senate for Its decision. and the Speak
er OF the House will bring up the ques-
ton in that body. When the two
Houses have voted they will meet
again and their decisions be announced,
| Should such course be deemed nee
essary over the Kentucky vote there
would be a scene Of excitement such
as has rarely been Witnessed in the
history Of the country.

the court as follows:
"The numerous cases of crime trace

gage sharks and confidential credit
concerns for 'salaried people give re.
newed emphasis to the importance of
the establishment of chattel banks un.

cages or credits are primary or in
