Accused Of the Worcester
Murder.
A WOMAN IN THE CASE
Claimed that Three Of the Men
We're in Love with
Widow.

Montpelier, March l5:-Fred Speu-
GER, Hollis Heath and William Aims
worth, neighbors of Charles McLane,
the murdered Worcester farmer, we're
arrested at their homes at an early
hour this morning. The men made no
resistance to the officer and they were
placed in the Washington county Jail
before daylight this morning. All
three are suspected of completely IN
the murder of McLane.
So far as can be learned the reputa-
tions of these three men up on Wor-
cester mountain, where they reside and
where McLane was murdered, is none
OF the best. Spencer is 35 years old,
Heath 40 and Ainsworth 80.
Ainsworth and Heath were at Wor-
cester Corner Saturday night in an
intoxicated condition. They went from
there to the residence of Charles Cory
NcLane's nearest neighbor, where it
is said they created so much disturb
ance that they were finally elected
about midnight. They had just about
time to go from Corry's to McLane's
before the time when the dead mans
watch stopped which was supposed TO
be 1920 Sunday morning. 1t is said
at Ainsworth's boarding house that
he did not reach home until three
O'Clock Sunday morning.
Another story thatcomes from Wor-
cester is that Heath and Ainsworth
have had trouble with McLane because
both they and McLane were very at
tentive to Mrs Jane Martin, at whose
home all three men have been frequent
visitors. Mrs Martins husband com
mitted suicide several years ago un-
der circumstances that we're at that
time considered peculiar.
Fred Spencer and his father short
time ago were carrying on McLane's
farm, but because Of trouble between
them and McLane they left after Me-
Lane and Fred Spencer had had live
ly encounter. Later McLane was ar
rested at theinstigation of Spencer but
was acquitted of an assault 1t is al
so said that Spencer, since the trial OF
the assault case, has frequently made
threats against McLane All three VI
the men refuse to talk.
