POSSIBLE MURDER
IN A MAINE FIRE
Bodies of Two Men Found in Ruins
Of Maine State Fish Hatchery--sui-
eide May Also Figure In 1t.

Greenville, Me-, March 13.--That the
fire which destroyed the state fish
hatchery building at squaw brook on
Moosehead lake Monday, was deliberate
~ set to obliterate traces Of murder
aud suicide, was the theory formed by
the Piseatoquis county officials, after
thorough search of the ruins yester-
day.
Two bodies We're found in the ruins,
one Of which was positively identified
as that Of Arthur Hersey, IS years old,
who last week was raised from help
er to a superintendent, superseding A.
w. kilkins of Winthrop, man between
go and e5 years old
The other body is believed to be that
Of Wilkins. In the back of the skull
on Hersey's body the Investigators
found hole, believed to have been
made by a bullet Near the body. sup
posed to be that Of wilkins, was re-
volver containing Eve empty shells. The
key to Wilkins trunk and the remains
Of his watch aere found near the house.
The officials hold the theory that
Wilkins mind had been affected by his
removal from his position and that be
shot Hersey while the latter was work
ing in the hatchery building, and then
started the fires which destroyed the
hatchery and stable, after which he
went to his Gambler and committed
suicide.
The coroner's inquest was unfinished
at the close Of the afternoon session.
and adjournment was taken until even
ing, DR. Hatch performed a post NOR.
tenn examination Of Hersey's body and
found a bullet had entered the head at
the top, passed through the brain and
out through the skull, lodging inside
the skin DIR. Hatch stated that the al.
rection of the bullet indicated that the
wound was not made by Hcrsey, but
some person standing over him while
he was bending over one Of the fish
beds
wilkins body was so badly burned
that the physician was unable to detev-
mine the location Of the bullet wound
The evidence seemed to bear out the
opinion of the officials that Wilkins
killed Hersey and then committed sui
eide. Two letters sent. out by Herseys
son Monday We're intercepted at the
post-ofice. They were directed to viii
kin's wife and daughter, and contained
no reference to the impending tragedy.
One contained small amount of
money for the daughter.
