After the Hague Murderer.

Bridport had first class sensation
Tuesday and the store court will have a
fresh subject to discuss for some time to
come. The ghastly circumstances sur
rounding the murder of Mrs. Orange
Frazier, near Hague, N. Y, on Aug. 10,
last. were recalled by the arrest of a
man at Bridport, whom the New York
the missing husband of the dead
woman. The man, who declared that
his name was Christopher Smeady, was
subjected to prolonged examination by
that he knew of the murder, and that
Frazier, with whom he is acquainted,
is at present in New York state, about
so miles north of this place. He would
not, however, give his reason for max
ing this statement and was finally re-
leased.
Smeady, who has been under the
tsurveillance of the New York state
officers for several weeks, was arrested
at their request. After examining the
man the local officers decided that he
was not Frazier, but the New York Off
GERS insisted that he be held until they
arrived.
Smeady was taken into custody by
Constable William Wheeler and escorted
to Hotel Bridport to await the arrival
of the New York officers who did not
reach Bridport until nearly 8 o'clock in
the evening. Immediately upon the
arrival Mr.. Smeady was subjected to
what is known in police parlance as the
"third degree" during which the Regis.
ter reporter was present and participated
in the questioning.
Previous to meeting the New York
officers, Smeady was interviewed by the
Register reporter. He claimed to be a
professional card reader and palmist and
said that he was 45 years old and born in
Gloversville, N. Y, and has two sisters
residing there. He said he was married
and that his second wife resides in Wey-
bridge although they are living apart
He said that he had worked for vari-
GUS farmers in Vergennes, Weybridge
and for Hiram Sessions of this town.
When asked as to his reason for say
ing that Frazier was at point 80 miles
north of this place he said, "The cards
show that Frazier is near body of
water in company with three women
and about 80 miles from here. One of
the women will give him away and then
he will show what desperate man he
is
He offered to accompany the officers
in : cir search for the murderer of Mrs.
Frazier although he disliked to pass as
detective. Smeady's phenomenal men,
ory was subject for discussion among
the officers as he could give dates and
names off hand in a manner that was
truely marvellous.
He came across the lake on Sunday
and few hours later appeared at the
home of Harvey Carrier in Bridport.
where after lunching he hired out to
assist in the potato digging. Upon
being released from custody, Smeady was
taken to Mr. Carriers home that he
might be on hand to resume operations
in the potato field Wednesday morning.
He is about 5 feet inches tall and
weighs 1875 pounds and his general make
up betokens man who has seen the
rough side of the world.

Lamps should always be trimmed
when the daylight is good, and not
by artificial light. Never fill a lamp
while it is alight, and If there is q
filing place at the side take care that
il is tightly closed before lighting
the lamp. When putting out a lamp,
turn the flame low before blowing it,
then blow across the top of the chin
ney glass. and not down it. In this
way there is no danger IN putting
out lamp.
