A new CLUE.
Escaped Prisoner Stead
man May Be Horse Thief.
Horse Stolen Saturday Night
From a Hancock Stable.
Sieadman Thought to Have Doubled
On His Old Track.

Ellsworth, Me, March 31-Ohicers on
the hunt for William Steadman, who
escaped from the county Jail here
Thursday night, and after a murderous
assault on Sheriff Mayo, disappeared,
picked up a new trail today. At mid
night last night a horse, bride and
blanket were stolen from the stable of
Charles Wooster at Hancock and the
thief went away on horseback.
Hancock is nine miles from Els
worth and in the opposite direction
from Ellsworth Falls, where the last
positive trace of Steadman was OBJ
tanned. A man answering Steadman's
description was seen in Hancock Sat-
urGay evening If the officers are right
in creditng the horse theft to Stead
man. he must have doubled on his track
and passed through Ellsworth at night.
The horse was traced from the stable
to Franklin road where the trail was
lost. This is the road Steadman would
naturally have taken if headed for his
former home.
