We learn with sorrow that H. J. Engh of
Murdoch. formerly our hustling blacksmith
at Jericho. had his face badly hurt and dis
vicious horse. The family has our sympathy
surely, being among the many who did not
have happy Christmas this year. We hope

Christ mas with his cousins at Stene's place.
Fifteen cousins of the Stene's were gathered
at the Stene home last Saturday evening, on
which occasion the young folks of the neigh

claimed at least partial control of the house.

who escaped injury in the railroad wreck.
His seat mate was pinioned and crushed,

The poor victim begged K llevig to cut his
throat and end his misery. 1t must ertain-

Assistant Manager at Laundry.

w. G. Hawkins, proprietor of the
Willmar Steam Laundry, will have a
valuable assistant at his place of
business in the person of George E.
Wagner, who comes here this week
from Elroy, Wis. Mr.. Wagner will
be assistant manager at the laundry,
and will have charge of the work in
such a manner as to relieve Mr..
Hawkins of much of the inside duties
which have taken up his time and
allow him more time to attend to other
matters connected witt. the business.
1t is probable that Mr.. Wagner will
become closer identified with the laun-
dry business here by purchasing an
interest in the plant, which is now
rapidly coming to the front as one of
our leading business institutions. He
will remove his family to this city as
soon as a suitable place of residence
can be found. Mr.. Wagner was an
employee OF the present proprietor of
the Willmar Steam Laundry when he
conducted a plant at Elroy, Wis, anu
was in the business for himself later
on. His practical experience coupled
with that of MIR. Hawkins will be of
great bel p to make the present year
even more successful for the laundry
than has been enjoyed in the past.
1t is highly probable that before the
end Of the year the plant will be estab-
lished in new quarters. A more con-
venient building will be erected and
Mr.. Hawkins plans of establishing
turkish bath parlors will be fully
carried out, as in tina, event there will
be more suitable quarters for the bath
parlors in the large basement which
will be part OF the new building. 1t
is the intention of the management to
enlarge it's present plant and to add
every modern convenience as soon as
it is established in new quarters.

Died at Western Home.

The sad intelligence was received
here Monday of last week of the sud-
den death of L. w. Freeman, who
passed away at the home of his father,
3. G. Freeman, at Bellingham, Wash.
Death was due to hemmorhage of the
lungs and the end came after a brief
illness of four days. The Freeman
family removed to the western country
last summer from Pennock, where they
had made their home for many years.
They were among The old and we'll

ly in their late bereavement.

This letter did not reach Reed before
his arrest. It was afterwards discovered
and disclosed in the defence
The plaintiff returned from Boston on
Saturday the nth, when she was Informed
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1907-12-18

of Reeds arrest. On the eth of the same
month the plaintiff married Hastings
Hoyt, n young man of West New Port
land. to whom she was engaged TO be
married before leaving for Boston. On
the day following the marriage she Wis
tied Reed at the Jail. shook hands with
him and expressed her sympathy for him.
Reeds confession had rot then been
made
Excepting only the pith Of Reeds con-
fession-that she procured him to burn
the property-the plaintiff is forced to adj
nit as true all her conduct and acts as
disclosed by the confession. 1t is signifi-
cant to note. however, that she admitted
none OF these acts and circumstances be-
fore the confession.
She claimed at the trial that Reed was
her enemy and committed the crime from
motives of revenge She testified that
he was angry because of Hoyts atten-
tons to her; that long before he left the
house at all re had made threats to shoot
her, and to burn her and lioyt in the
buildings if they were married and lived
there; that she arranged the meeting in
Lewiston in order to induce Reed &c ceasc
Annoying them, and that the converse ton
there was about her engagement to Hoyt
and Reeds divorce. ana that Reed prom
ised to leave the State if she would help
him get his divorce; that he agreed to
consult Il lawyer on Tuesday night about
the divorce: and she explains the express
sions in her letter to him of the 14th as
referring to his divorce ana his interview
with the lawyer about Il.
These statements OF hers are 50 i'm
probable, unreasonable. and utterly ire
concilable with her conduct and admitted
relations with Reed that they intensity
the conviction of the truth of Reed s
testimony beyond a reasonable doubt. 1t
is most incredible that Reed had repeat
edly threatened her life, long before he
left the house at ALL when she is forced
to admit that after he went away she
wrote him loving and endearing letters
two or three times n week; that she ar
ranged to meet him in Lewiston; that she
wrote the letter from Beverly June 14th !:
that she visited him at the Jail and ex-
pressed her sympathy for him; and that
not until after the confession of Reed did
she make known to anyone. even to Hoyt.
that any such threats were ever made.
According to her own testimony Reeds
act could not have been done to carry
out any of the alleged threats. because
he knew the act could result in no per-
sonal injury to either of them as they
were not in the house, and it could not
we'll result in financial loss to her in view
of the fact that the property was over
| insured as the record clearly shows.
Reed burned the property. He says the
