MURDER IN SEARSPORT.
An Italian Fracae in Which one Man is Fa-
tally Wounded.

An Italian Fracae in Which one Man is a
tally Wounded.
The eXcursioniStS to Stockton and Sears
port last Sunday just missed sensation,
although they saw the preliminary proceed
ings, the tapping of keg of beer. A crew
of Italian railroad laborers living in a
camp near kidders Point started in to OBJ
serve Sunday with carousal and 1T is
thought must have had something more po-
tent than beer. At all events there was
general scrimmage. One Italian drew
knife on another, and the latter objecting to
being carved drew revolver and shot his
assailant in the stomach at close range, in
flicting what proved to be fatal wound.
Dr. Stevens of Stockton was called and
dressed the wound and the man was then
brought to the Waldo County Hospital in
this city. The case was hopeless one,
however, and the man died Monday after
noon 4 little later than this affair young
Italian who had recently come from Boston
to work on the Stockton water works was
tramping to SearSport when he was fired
upon by another of the gang who was
armed with d shot gun, and his face was
peppered with bird shot Many were pick
ed out, but others seemed to have taken
effect in one eye and the man was sent to
Boston by boat Monday for treatment by a
specialist. The men who did the shooting
in each case mixed in with the others in
the shack and it was not possible to locate
them They would have the assistance OF
their companions and probably took leg
bail that night, although the officers of the
law have been making efforts to locate and
capture them.
In compliance with law an inquest was
held yesterday by Coroner Charles Il.
Coombs. The principal witness was Ed
ward f. Doty of Winterport, and DR., h. 5.
Stevens of the hospital staff, who attended
the case, also testified. The coroners jury,
after hearing the evidence and viewing the
remains, returned the follow ing verdict:
"That the Italian here lying dead, sup
posed to be Nahum Janerio, came to his
death by a bullet wound in the bowels from
revolver in the hands of an Italian en-
ployed on the water works at SearSport,
whose name to the jury is unknown"
The jury was l. w, Parker, S. L. Sleeper,
f. H. Haney, c. Hervey Howes, Alger
Wellman and Orrin j. Dickey, clerk.

A SUCCESSFUL
TEST MADE Of
THE ACQUISITION

Washington. Dec. 7.-Rspresentative
Herbert Parsons. chairman OF the New
York county committee and the successor
OF b. b. odell as the Republican boss OF
New York state, made speech in the
house yesterday two hours after the house
had adjourned. The purpose was TO test
an acousticon placed on the speakers
desk and connected by wire with the
room of the committee on ways and
means.
The experiment was a great success,
and Elliot Woods, the architect OF the
Capitol. will install an acousticon in the
house and connect IL with the new office
building more than block distant. BY
this means members will be able 10 sit in
their offices in the new building and hear
all the dates in the house.
The acousticon is the invention of X.
n. Turner of New York II is a black
disk resembling the ear-pece of a tele-
phone and about as big around as a
tomato can. The instrument is much more
sensitive than the telephone and records
and multiplies every sound. The sound is
delivered through an ear-piece something
like a telephone ear-piece If wished the
acousticon will spout out the conversation
through a horn in a tone clearly audible
in a large room; by simply turning
switch the sound is muffed so that il can
only be heard through the ear-piece.
Mr.. Turner is also the inventor of the
dictograph, which he has installed In the
office Of Mr. Woods in the Capitol This
is on the same principal as the acousticon.
II is connected by wires with the desk
of stenographers. clerks or secretaries i'm
other rooms. A person talks i'm an ordin-
ary tone OF voice in any part of the room
and the sound is transmitted To the per
son for whom IL is intended. A conversa-
tion can be carried on. as there is horn
attachment TO the dictograph. 1t is sim
liar TO a telephone, except that 1t is not
necessary To talk into transmitter nor
hold an ear piece TO the head.

AND SON
ON SPREE THAT
ENDS IN DEATH

Kingston, N. Y, Dec. Two mink
skins and the sudden prosperity that
followed their sale are primarily re-
liams, of Kings HILL near Waikiki, the
mysterious circumstances surrounding
which will be aired by Assistant Dis
trlct Attorney Araver az a coroner's in
9Gsst at Waikiki today.
Williams owned two mink skins, which
he sold on Tuesday for So Instead OF
taking the money home, williams invested
most OF it In rum. His son, James
Williams, who had accompanied ham, had
collected a debt OF s.. and he followed his
fathers example.
II was o'clock I'm the evening when
they visited McClenchy's hotel at St An
drews. The son James remembered that
he and his IA ther had many drinks and
that he threw dice for a while His recol-
lection stopped there and the next he
remembers is waking up in corn field
near his home late the next afternoon He
went home 70 find that his father was
dead.
Mrs. Williams sat up Tuesday night for
the return of her husband and son, and at
3 a. m. Wednesday she heard a wagon
She went out with lantern and discov-
cred the body fher husband hanging
from the wagon. IL was hanging face
downward balanced on the stomach
across the side of the wagon box the
head between the right front wheel and
the wagon body, and resting on the axle
one hand was thrust between the spokes
of the wheel The body Of Williams was
warm, and his wife supposed he was
alive. When DR. j. NJ Bowman of Waikiki
arrived she learned her mistake
puzzling state OF affairs that does
not coincide with the theory that Will
liamS accidentally fell against the wheel
first gave rist TO suspicious that Will
liams had met his death in a violent
manner. The wagon, a top buggy show
ed splashes Of what looked like blood on
the side OF the back or the seat These
stains could not have come from the
head OF the man hanging out of the was-
on. An autopsy performed by physi-
clans showed that Williams skull was
not fractured. but that II was badly bat
tered and the extent OF these bruises has
caused Or J. l.. Preston OF Kingston
who assisted at the autopsy, to inform
the district attorney that Williams was
murdered.
