CHAMPIONS NEW SHOES.
Ne Laughs At Suggestion That They BELONGED
10 Scott Goodwin.

Biddeford, Me-, July 29-The story of
Champions new tan shoes, which arc
said to be the connecting link in the
chain of evidence against the man who
is being held in the York county jail on
the charge of committing the horrible
quadruple murder at West Newfield has
created no little stir in this quiet town.
1t Is claimed that the new shoes, which
George Henry Champion wore when he
was arrested in Milford. Mass, We're for
merly the property of Scott Goodwin. one
of the victims of the murder. and that
Champion, since his incarceration. has
tried in many ways to destroy them be-
fore they were noticed.
His actions aroused the suspicious of
his jailor and the shoes We're finally taken
from him, to be used as evidence against
him at the time of the trial. The shoes
ii is claimed, were purchased of Scot
Goodwin just three days before the MUIR
der.
A reporter called upon eX-Judge Charles
s. Hamilton. who is counsel for Cham
pion. The judge was disposed to take the
tan shoe story lightly. He said in part
II saw Champion, Friday morning, and
talked with him some time Previous to
my calling on him I asked Jailer Ander-
son about Champions shoes which were
taken from him. Anderson told me that
Champion was greatly worried when the
shoes were taken from him.
Later. | talked with Champion for
over two house. and he never mentioned
shoes. Then finally told him why the
shoes had been taken from him. Cham
pion smiled and said:
~ don't know much about murders,
but il seems to be a strange occurrence
that a man could kill four people. and
then sit down and swap shoes with one
of them.
why continued Champion. i bought
those shoes on Salem street in Boston.
for $3.50 just before / saw my wife. |
can't tell the place | bought them, but l
could go to it,. -
Judge Hamilton says that he has not
yet found anyone who knows positively
that partly-burned bank bills were found
in the ruins of the house. but the money
alleged to have been stolen, and which 1t
is also alleged was the motive for the
murder was not found on Champions
person nor can anybody find where he
spent enough of it to identify il.
He says that Champion appeared cheer
full and confident of being acquitted.
