weeks later from d-poisoning result
ing from the wound, which in itself was
not sufficient to cause death.
Still another Maine murderi At Bidde-
ford Monday, in the Peppereli Gotten
mills, Anastasious Steisun, in a sudden
passion, after being struck in fun by
Anastasis Costa, stabbed the latter in the
abdomen, infiicting q wound from which
he died few hours later. The men are
Italians. The murderer escaped in the

captured few hours later six miles out OF
the city.
The suggestion is now made that John
E. veazie, whose charred body was found
in the ruins OF his home at Bar Mills last
week, was the victim OF foul play. Ac-
cording to woman living near, a carriage
was driven rapidly by her house, coming
from the direction of the Veazie house,
just before the fire was discovered. Mr..
veazie WIS known to have about 900 in
the house. Murder for robbery, and ar
son to conceal the crime, is the theory
upon which the selectmen OF the town ask
the county authorities to investigate the
matter further.
