NINETEEN YEARS IS
SPENT BEHIND
PRISON BARS
Doors Open Tomorrow for
Maine Man Convicted of
Double Murder.

Thomaston, Me-, March.2.-Day after
tomorrow the doors of the state prison
here will be swung open and Calvin
Graves will walk forth a free man af-
ter nineteen years spent behind the
prison bars. The crime for which
Graves was sent to prison was COM
mitted in 1886 and at the time of it's
commission was the sensation of the
state. 1t was a double murder, the
victims being two game wardens nam
ed Hill and Miles. On the day of the
tragedy Graves with companion went
hunting near his home in Washington
county. The hunters were stopped by
the game wardens and in the alterca-
tion that ensued Graves shot and
killed both the wardens. He fled to
California where he was arrested some
months later and returned to Maine for
trial. The verdict of guilty brought
with 1t a sentence of life imprison-
ment. For more than fifteen years
persistent efforts were made by the
family and friends of the imprisoned
man to secure his release. These ef-
forts resulted in the sentence being
commuted to twenty-five years in 1904
The allowance for good time reduced
the term to nineteen years. His family
will meet him upon his release and es-
cOrt him home.
