CONVICTED OF MURDER.
Maine WOOdsman Found Guilty ON
Circums mstantIaI Evidence

Maine WOOdsman Found Guilty ON
CircumstantiaI Evidence.
SKOWHEGAN, Me. Nov. 13.--A
jury found Alexander Theriault, a
woodsman. guilty of murder in the
first degree in causing the death Of
Matthias Pare. a young Canadian log
ger. The penalty is life Imprisonment.
Pare's body was found beside trail in
the woods of the Moosehead region last
March. The sun and winds had clear
ed off the snow under which 1t was
buried and at the same time left in
tact snowshoe prints on the layer Of
snow on which Pare was killed. Be
side the body was a rifle cartridge
shell. Pare left logging camp
month before with his winters wages,
bound for his home in Canada
Theriault was arrested on circum-
stantial evidence, and on It also he was
convicted. The chief points were the
snowsh0e prints Of peculiar character,
which compared with the marks of
Theriault's shoes: the rife shell, which
was peculiarly marked by the firing
pin of his rifle; the fact that he was
seen OIL the road the day Pare left
camp and that Theriault, while pennl-
less before that time. had money
enough later TO pay numerous bills.
At the trial no word of reproach was
said against Therlault, for he had al
ways been steady, hard working
woodsman. He lived IN the woods with
bis family,

County PaorhOuse-Pralse
For Colonel Mills.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Tl.e most
important feature of the report of the
beard Of visitors to the West Point
Military academy Is a recommendation
that the academy be rebuilt. The Re.
port says:
1T has been nearly hundred years
since West Point was founded. and
from the birth Of the institution nearly
all the improvements have been on the
patchwork plan. There Is but one build
Ing constructed by the government at
the post that Is In harmony with this
day and generation. All the others are
old. uncomfortable and entirely made
quate to meet preseut conditions. Few
OF them are equipped with any Of the
conveniences now TO be found in the
average public school building in the
country districts of many of the states.
1t can be trutbfully said that there is a
pressing necessity for complete tear
Ing down and a new building up. The
policy pursued In this regard at Annap.
oils should be speedily adopted at West
Point. Nothing can be gained by post
ponement. Indeed it seems to the board
that almost every dollar spent in the
future for 'cnlargng here and altering
and patching there is 50 much money
thrown away. The enlarged duties and
responsibilities Of the military as re-
lated to the recently enlarged sphere of
American influence and power are such
as not only to justify but force congress
to proper recognition Of the demands of
the Military academy.
Putting the matter in fcw words,
1t can be truthfulIy said that the bar.
