ternoon by z cores ondcut Of this
parcr stated most alphabetically that
he took 10 stock III the double muir

not believe that the body of Wilkins
was in condition so that 4 bullet
wound could be found. The body was
burned beyond recognition and was
practically nothing but charred Goals
and ashes. The entire top of the head
was missing, the brain was burned
to ashes and it was hard to believe
| that it was really human body.
The officials do not believe that it
would have been possible for Il third
party to have killed the two men
single handed and with no signs of d
struggle Of any kind. The bodies were
found in two different buildings. Had
the Third party fired at one Of the men
it seems that tn" other must have

DOUBLE MURDER IS DOUBTED,
Officials Believe Murder and Sui
eide, Through Insanity---The
Remains Sent to Late Homes.

Greenville. Me, March 14.-Sheriff
Knowles, County Attorney Burgess
and others today disagreed with DIR.
Hatch in his opinion that there was a
double murder at the Squaw Brook
fish hatchery and stated they had no
reason to change their belief that the
tragedy was a murder and suicide.
DR.. Hatch expressed his opinion after
a second post-mortcm examination of
wilkins body, during which he traced
a bullet wound in such a direction
that it could not, in his opinion. have
been self.-inhicted.
wilkins body was taken to his home
at Winthrop by d brother, Warren
wilkins.
The jury went into executive session
this afternoon and for three hours
considered the case Beyond the fact
that they disagreed and adjourned I'M

was made public. They were unable
to agree as to the cause Of Wilkins
death and place the responsibility for
it.

| day and in fact the London market
showed advances for American securi-
ties. This fact, however, was without
effect on the New York Exchange ex-
orEt for a short time after the opening
of trading.
Business on the New York Exchange
started rather quietly, apparently in
nuanced by the better prices in London.
but before II o'clock heavy selling
movement was in progress and prices
lost from one to four points. Union
Pacific led the early decline with u
break Of 3l3 points TO 142 and Amalga-
mated Copper followed with a drop Of
81. United States Steel offered more
resistance than most of the list and 1t
rallied above 81. helping to steady the
| balance of the list.
As prices steadied there was falling
off in business and the market re-
manned relatively quiet until between
Il and l o'clock. when the bears CEN
tered their efforts on Union Pacihc,
Reading and Amalga mated Copper. The
whole list was affected by the rapid
falling off in these shares and the
scene on the Stock Exchange became
one of wild confusion. There seemed
to be absolutely no support to the mar
kei and the trading became democrat
lied This downward movement seemed
to spend its force in a short time, how
ever. only to be succeeded toward 100
o'clock by the widest trading that has
ever been known on the Exchange
since the Northern Pacific panic OF
1901. Reading fell rapidly to below par.

Union Pacific went to 131. st. Paul to

At this time traders thought they
had seen the worst of the day, but
still more sensational declines. with the
most excited trading scenes, came just
before the close Of the market. Brokers
who had called upon their customers
and who had not received satisfactory
! RESPONSE threw over their stocks al
most without regard for the prices they
were bringing and it was in this slump
| that extreme low prices were reached.

I Canadian Pacific at 167. st. Faul at 125,
Pennsylvania at ia. Reading at 81,

cific at 120A. After the most urgent
selling had been accomplished there
were sharp rallies in q number of the
shares, most of the leaders closing
from / to 3 points above the low level.
! Wall Street was so excited during
the worst period of the afternoon that
almost any rumor in circulation re-
cIivcd some belief. One report that had
consi,lcra BILE effect on the market and
on Union Pacific particularly, was that
Il serious break had occurred in tho
