Mr.. John Blows stood listening to the foreman
with an air OF lofty disdain- He was a free born
Engshman. ard yet he had been summarily
paid on at eleven o'clock IN the morning and
told that his valuable services would longer
be required. More than that. the foreman had
passed certain structures upon his features which,

Mr.. Blows in a somewhat fluent reply, re-
hected severely the foreman's immediate an

public spirit they had exhibited by allowing him to
grow up.

Of having murdered his father-in-law,

contractor Horner was shot and NOR
tally wounded in the kitchen Of his
Northport home more than a year ago.
The gun from which the fatal shot was
fired was held in Simpsons hands, but
the defendant always has maintained
that the killing was the result of an ac-
cident. This view apparently was ac-
cepted by the jury. which returned the
verdict of not guilty, after deliberat-
ing less than an hour
The trial of DR.. Simpson furnished
many sensations, one of which was the
appearance of the prisoners wife as
one of the principal witnesses for the
prosecution. In the closing argument
for the defence, Simpsons chief coun-
sci made bitter attack upon Mrs
Simpson. He characterized the prescott
ton of Simpson as a conspiracy insti-
tuted by the prisoners wife, to get him
out of the way so that she would be

Thomaston, Me-, Feb. 7.-The frozen
body Of Mrs. Sadie Eugley, aged about
40. who arrived last night on the even
ing train from Boston. where she had
found today beneath one Of the win
dows of the house occupied by her
mother, Mrs. w. r. Chandler. at War

as far as known, was at SIS o'clock,
when she started from Warren station
TO walk to her mothers home, a dis
lance of a quarter of a mile.
Although the weather was clear, her
Journey was made tedious by snow.
which was drifted badly in places, and
a temperature 10 degrees below zero
caused her much Inconvenience. 1t was
supposed she was overcome by the cold
and her exertions or was taken sick
on the way. Coroner NJ. p. Judkins of
Rockland was called to investigate.
Tracks in the deep snow were found
where she evidently had walked around
the house and either looked in at the
windows or cndeaVOred to attract at
tention, but if she made any noise it
was not observed by the occupants.
Places also were found between the
house and railroad station, where
some person, presumably Mrs. Eugiey,
had laid down in the snow. The body
was discovered by Herbert Coffin, who
lives in the same house as Mrs.
Chandler When he looked out of the
kitchen window he saw it lying in
front Of and two or three feet from the
window. One son, Pearl Eugley Of
Warren. survives.
Coroner Judkins decided that it was
a clear case of death by freezing and
asserted that she was not dressed suf-
fciertly warm for the rugged Maine
climate He estimated that she died
about l. o'clock and that she was three
hours on the way from the station to
the house, probably becoming beWild-
cred soon after starting. 1t was learned
that Mrs. Chandler had retired early,
but that Mr.. Clifford was about until
midnight and heard no noise. Coroner
Judkins decided an inquest unneces-
sary. Mrs. Eugley was employed as
head filter in the dressmaking depart
ment Of r. H. Stearns e Co, Boston,
and had not lived at Warren for several
years.

PROPER PLACE FOR CAPITAL
In Smaller Cities Say New Jersey
OfficiaIs-Dansers in Largest.

Trenton, y. J.. Feb. G.-(SpeciaD.-
New Jerseys capital, Trenton. is the
fourth city in the state in population,
the large population centre being in the
north end of the state in the vicinity of
Newark and Jersey City. Public
sentiment however has always stood
for the location of the capital in this
city.
Twentv-one years ago when the State
House burned Newark made a strong
eeht to become the seat of the state
government. Every influence possible
was brought to bear, the chief con-
t.ntion being that the capital should be
located in the metropolis. PUBIC
sentiment was so strongly against this
nroposition however that it was de-
feated.
Tn commenting on the advantages to
tho state and the public of the policy
of keening the capital away from the
re+ronolis Governor Edward c. Stokes
said tonight
"Without being familiar with the
conditions in Maine, l believe that IN
the abstract the capital should De SC

people OF State"

tai in a large city would induce con-
ditions and influences inimical to best
