GRlNDLE CONFESSES
That He Committed the Assault
on Mrs. LittIeReId.
Had Been Drinking and Was Seized
With irresistible Impulse.
No Cause for Assault-Siqns Comics
sion and Is Jailed.

Ellsworth. Me-. Oct. Guy Grindle
Il years of age. confessed, this after.
noon. that he committed the murderous
assault upon Mrs. Littlefield. who was
found nearly dead in her home at Pc
nObscot. last Thursday. He had been
suspected from the first. but stoutly de-
MED all knowledge of the crime and
gave very satisfactory account OF
himself.
The chain of evidence drawn about
him became too tight, however, and.
this afternoon. he told his story to De-
tective Odlin of Lewiston, then wrote
it out and signed it in the presence OF
Seiectman W. ]. Creamer
Detective Odlin. Selectman Norris
and Selectman Grindle and the prisoner
arrived in Ellsworth at 8 o'clock, to-
night. and the latter was lodged in the
county Jail. Grindle's story is substan-
TALLY as follows:
On the morning of the assault he.
with Urban Leach and John Littlefield.
the victims son. cleaned out the Little
field WELL then all three went to Grim
dies house. There they parted. Grindle
remaining at home. the other two going
cunning.
He had been drinking that morning.
and seized with a sudden impulse, went
back to the Littlefield house. got an
axe. crept up behind the unsuspecting
and defenceless woman. and struck her
on the back of the head. 1t is not clear
whether he stabbed her where she fell
or dragged her to the bedroom and cut
her there.
He took a dollar bill. then went down
to Varnum's store. and was there when
John came rushing down. bringing
news of the awful assault upon his
mother.
Grindle had not borne a specially
good reputation, but was never regard
ed as vicious or criminally disposed. 1t
seems that his deed was wholly unpre-
meditated. He had never quarrelled
with the Littlefields and had no motive
for the crime. but attributes it to
sudden. irresistible impulse. as the re-
suit Of drinking.
His father is Francis Grindle. an old
soldier. widower and of good reputa-
ton. The boy has one sister. who mar
ried George Bowden of Prospect.
The victim of the assault is comfort
able and improving. with the prospects
i'm favor of her full recovery. Her MEM
DRY is slowly coming back. but as yet
she has given no sign that she knows
her assailant. She has not yet been
told of Grindle's confession and arrest.

LOBSTER FISHERMEN
Will Ask Legislature FOR Close Time in
Summer.

ROckland. Me-. Oct. THE fisher
are extensively engaged in clustering,
have given notice that they will ask
the incoming Legislature to declare
close time on Holsters for the months
of August and September.
The notice which is signed by about
20 of the plantations leading resi-
dents, is as follows: ITO whom it may
concern: We hereby give notice that
we shall petition the Legislature of the
State of Maine at its next session to
enact Il law prohibiting all persons
from taking. catching. killing or de-
stroying any Holsters between the LIST
day of August and the 1st day of
October in each year. in the waters
within five miles of any part of the
islands of Matinicus or erie Haven,
in the county of Knox. under IA penalty
of 81, or such other penalty as the
Legislature may determine. for each
lobster SO taken. caught. killed or de-
stroyed.'
Along the Knox county shore, and in
fact all along the Maine coast. this Will
be regarded as Il movement of utmost
importance. for it is an established fact
that the future of the lobster fisheries
is dependent upon prompt and restric-
tive measures, and the action OF the
Matinicus and erie Haven fishermen Is
probably but the beginning.
There will undoubtedly be some or-
position 10 the proposed law, as the
fishermen are by no means agreed up
on the best method, and some livery
hearings before the committee on iish-
cries are already promised.
