MURDERED CAPTAIN
Of Schooner Harry M. Berwind Lived
at Prettymarsh, Mt. Desert Island.

Ellsworth. Me, Oct. 12.-The iden-
tity of Capt. Rumill, who with four Of
his crew was murdered in a mutiny on
board his schooner Harry A. Rcrwind
in Southern waters, was. today, estab-
lished as Capt. Edward B. Rumill Of
Prettymarsh. Mt. Desert Island, Me
He was 40 years old. and widow and
two children, who were first Informed
of the crime by an Associated Press
representative, today, survive. Two
brothers also survive, one living at
West fremont and another at Seal
Cove.
1t is not thought here that any Of
Capt. Rumill's crew were Maine sail
ors. The vessel usually shipped a crew
Of negroes at Mobile, where she loaded
lumber for Northern ports.
The Berwind, while owned in Phila-
delphia. was built in Milbridge, Me, 10
years ago and has since been in COM
mand of Capt. Rumill, who, it is said,
was never known to have serious
troubles with his crew.

London. Oct. 12-TOday's proceedings in
the case of Hugh Watt. the former mem
her of Parliament who is charged with
attempting to bribe Il private detective
named MarShall to assist him in murder
ing Watts former wife, was marked by
the sensational withdrawal by the cat
tl"nlan. Norman Battle, of the evidence
which he gave Sept. -. on which occa-
sion he alleged that he overheard a con-
Versation between Marshall and another
man in which Marshall was threatened.
Battle. today, said his real name was
1.ightfoot and that Watt. who was accom-
panied by Il man describing himself as
IN cqucrry 10 King Edward mite the wit
ness in Hyde Park. Aug q. and inform
ed the witness that the King wished the

DOUGLAS WAS JEALOUS
Because Lucks Trusted kInball-Lat
ter's Condition Improving.

Bridgton, Me, Oct. 12.-H enry Doug
las. who confessed, last night. that he
shot young Benjamin Kimball, the
driver of a milk wagon in order to get
his job, left here at 10 O'Clock, today,
in custody of Sheriff W. II. Pennell for
Portland, where he will be arraigned
in the municipal court later III the day.
Douglas had nothing to add to his
confession, this morning. He did, how
ever. appear to realize the enOrmity of
the crime to which he frankly con-
feSsed. last night.
Douglas, who was previously en-
pl"yed on the Luck farm with Kim
bail, mad been known to be ei2vious of
Kimball because the Iucks trusted him
50 implicitly. They allowed Ktmball to
drive the milk cart, making the deliv-
cries in the early morning. a duty
which they did not let Douglas per
form. This is said to have been the
foundation Of the jealousy Which cul-
minated in the shooting. Kimhall had
been living in fear Of young Douglas
for come time.
Tuesday, while Kimball was making
his usual trip home to dinner. through
the North Bridgton wood road, IL bull
let struck him aud toppled him from
the wagon. He was later found by q
friend. During the investigation, young
Douglas appeared on the scene and in
quirnd who had been shot. His own
questioning led the authorities to sus-
pect him and the finding of a revolver
or his person led to his arrest.
ToIa-- kimball'S ( condition was slight
ly improved. He may recover.
