Wallace G. Everett Held
CHARGED WITH THE MURDER OF
EDGAR L. RATcLlFF.
Only Four Witnesses Called by Stat.
at the Hearing before Judge
Jones on Friday.

Investigation by the authorities of the
circumstances attending the blowing ur
of the powder house on Crocker Hill
Paris, and the death of Edgar Ratcliff
on the night Of Thursday, June IS, led to
immediate action.
As stated last week, an autopsy was
performed on the body of Ratcliff or
Monday by DR.. Bradbury of Norway and
DR.. Littlefield of South Paris. They
found deep cut in the neck; extending
to the backbone, which was evidently
made by a sharp instrument.
Wallace G.. Everett was arrested and
placed in Jail Monday afternoon, charged
with the murder of Ratcliff. Everett
was at the mine when arrested, and took
the matter very coolly, though he ap-
peared a little nervous. The knife
which had been found near the scene of
the tragedy was taken to Professor Rob-
inson at Brunswick for analysis of the
stains upon it, and the preliminary hear
ing Of Everett, which was to have been
in the Norway Municipal Court i'm
mediately, was postponed q few days to
make full preparation for the case.

The hearing was held at 9 o'clock Fri

wished to attend, for whom there was
not room in the municipal court room.
Judge William F. Jones of the Norway
Municipal Court presided at the hearing.
Charles o. Barrows of Portland was
| official stenographer. Several news.
paper men were in attendance.
The prisoner entered at 9:25, in charge
of Jailer Farrar. He was dressed neatly,

Wallace G. Everett was arraigned on a
complaint made by Sheriff Hiram R.
Hubbard, charging him with the MUIR
der of Edgar L. Ratcliff on the 18th Of
June. He said, "No, sir, not guilty."
County Attorney Barnes in opening
the case merely briefly described the
site of the affair at the mine, on the
steep hillside of Crocker Hill, and locat-
ing the cook house, the mill above it,
and the little dynamite house where the
explosion occurred. Sheriff Hubbard
and James Gibbs were called and sworn
as witnesses.
Sheriff Hiram R. Hubbard of Paris
was first called to testify.
The Office of Browns mine is in the
old county buildings on Paris Hill, some
Is rods from my house, with telephone
wire to the mine.
l heard of the explosion soon after 10
O'Clock, Dan Winslow notifying me that
the small powder house had blown up.
We reached the mine little before II.
The first man we saw on the grounds
was Mr.. Everett, standing near the door
of the mill with his rife. He said that
the small powder house had blown up,
and he had fastened man in there. He
did not name the man.
We went up Immediately to the site of
the powder house. There were in the
party Mr.. Batcheller, Mr.. Winslow, and
Elmer Cummings. Mr.. Everett went
with US.
At the site of the dynamite house we
found hole in the ground. The body
of Ratcliff was lying nine feet from the
hole. He was breathing when got
there. l stayed there till the breathing
stopped. The body was not moved dur
ing that time. l did not identify the
body at that time.
/ remained on the grounds till the
coroner came. Mr.. Everett was there
with me. l looked at the body at II
o'clock, and he was breathing. I looked
again at :l5 and he was not breathing.
Coroner Wheeler and DR.. Littlefield
got there about half-past one, and the
body was removed to my store on Paris
Hill.
There was no cross examination.

of Trade visited Hebron last Tuesday to
meet the trustees of Hebron Academy at
their annual meeting, and confer with
them regarding the possibility OF secur-
ing water supply for South Paris from
Halls Pond. As is we'll known, Hebron
is already supplied with water from
Halls Pond, and the Trustees of the
Academy represent much the largest in
terest in that supply. The opinion has
been frequently expressed that the pond
supplies water enough not only for he
bron but alse for South Paris. The
committee was very courteously receiv-
ed by the trustees, and given hearing
which occupied only few minutes. II
was voted BY the trustees that South
Paris engage competent engineer to
investigate the water supply and all
facts bearing upon the matter, and q
committee Of the trustees was appointed
to consider such report when made.

Claim OF Schools on the Dtspensary.

Columbia, May 11.-State Superinten-
dent of Education Martin in determined
to go down with his coors lying if he Is
to lose that s4OO, 900 the last statement
of the old board of dispensary directors
said was due the public schools of the
State as capital stock. He has asked the
Attorney General for an opinion as to
the validity of the claim, and that official
will give answer in day or so. The
whiskey houses having claims against
the State are of course anxious that this
school claim be recognized in the same
class with theirs, as in that case the
whiskey people will get only about so
cents ON the dollar. Still il is known
that at least two members of the com.
mission of five favor paying the school
fund as other just claimants will be
recognized. They claim that the schools
were defrauded out of their money by
the action of former boards, which
should have paid the cash instead of
crediting the school fund with 80 much
capital stock. If 1t Is decided that the
schools must wait for their money until
all the debts of the State dispensary are
paid, they will have long wait, as the
commission figures that 1t will barely
have enough to pay the 100000 worth
Of claims now due for whiskey bought.
