ELLSWORTH, April 1 Especially Ill
there be murder trial In this city before
the present month is endeds On that
proposition public opinion is about
equally divided. certain conservative
class who look at everything from a
money point Of view lean TO the opinion
that there will not be; those who believe
in the punishment of crime regardless OF
any monetary question, say there will.
1t all rests with County-At Attorney Wood,
say those who are acquainted with the
details, to decide whether there will be an
Indictment and trial in the Robbins or
Deer Isle murder case.
These men contend that there is ample
evidence to warrant the case being laid
before the grand jury, and IL that is once
done they say there is no question but
what an indictment win be found. By
them ii is claimed that the conditions
surrounding the brutal murder OF VIII
liam Robbins In January last, are such
that no reasonable man can remain uncon-
WINGED as to the guilty party. In short,
most OF these men do not hesitate to name
the one whom they suspect of being
guilty OF the fiendish deed.
While all that they say is based upon
circumstsntial evidence, it must be re-
membered that in murder case, and for
that matter most any criminal case, the
State must depend upon this kind of evil
dence, for crime never seeks a witness to
Its commission. Rather it seeks to do it
under cover OF the dark, 80 as TO be
unohseryed.

FROM BAR HARBOR.

Dodge Will Sustained Business
Looking Up-Late Locals.
BAR HARBoR, April 4 (special)-The
attempt to break the will of the late Mrs.
Abbie r. Dodge, of Jacksonville, Fla, by
which the bulk of her large property was
left to Rev. Angus M. Macdonald, pastor
OF the Bar Harbor Congregational church,
has failed, and the litigation which has
been going on in the Florida courts for
about year, has resulted In Mr.. Mac
Donald's favor.
The property consists of an interest in
the Windsor hotel at Jacksonville, land in
Florida, California and Mexico, and is es-
timated at considerable over 100000 By
the terms of the will Mr.. Macdonald was
made executor and residuary legatee.
The grounds of the petition for revoca-,
ton Of probate were that the testatrix
was mentally incapable at the time OF
signing the will, and that undue influence
was used.
The decision OF the judge of probate
sustains the will, and the case is ended so
far as the probate court is concerned
The contestants have filed an appeal,
but it is somewhat doubtful if the matter
will be further contested. The result of
the case is very gratifying to Mr.. Mac
Donald's many friends here who are much
pleased at his good fortune.

Cottages for the summer are renting
well, and everybody is looking forward to
a successful season.
