holding out, influenced chiefly by sem
timent.
In the end it was finally agreed that
Walsh should be held guilty and the
question upon what counts he should be
convicted was taken up. The one on
which the conviction was based IN
volved nine distinct series of transac-
tions.
The misappIication of approximately
s1.00O.000 was the act of which the jury
found the defendant guilty. The max
imum penalty of ten years on each Of
the fifty-four counts constituting this
act would make it possible for Judge
Anderson to impose a sentence of $40
years in the penitentiary.
Statement of Defense.
Later in the day a statement was is
sued by counsel for Mr.. Walsh, in which
he said:
I'm our opinion no case was made on
the evidence presented against Mr..
Walsh, and he was entitled to verdict
of not guilty. The jury was made up
of intelligent men. but they were farm
ers and altogether unfamiliar with
transactions involving business of the
character brought out in this trial.
There was in the evidence no clear-cut
issue presented as to the distinct trans
action. The jury was overwhelmed
with a mass of uncOnnected transac-
lions extending over dozen years be-
| fore as well as during the period of the
4 transactions complained of in the in
| dictment. Under this mass of evidence,
| the issues of the case were buried. We
ask a suspension of public judgment
on this case. We feel sure that the
public generally regard Mr.. Walsh as
| innocent of these charges. Mr.. Walsh,
as heretofore, will continue to attend Ia
his business affairs. and that he will
finally be INDICATED we have no doubt. -
Believes Verdict Will STAND.
Assistant District Attorney Fletcher
Dobyins said:
1.-THE prosecution was directed against
Mr.. Walshs illegal acts and not toward
the man. The government had no ami
mus in the matter, but was simply per-
| forming its duty by enforcing the law.
I do not believe that there is an error
in the case, and l am confident that
the verdict will stand. In my opinion

includes every town in Maine. and it will
mean q big saving to readers OF THE AMERr-

The wanamaker store began business in
Philadelphia forty-seven years ago. II has
always been famous for giving full moneys
worth to its customers, but it has never done
any OF the catchpenny things, so often prac-
ticed. to bring trade to itself.
For a number of years the policy Of the
house has been to prepay charges on goods
delivered within a hundred miles of New
York city. New this plan has been enlarged
and the free delivery route of the house in
cludes all towns in the New England states,
New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The New York business Of John Wanna
maker dates from November, 1895, when the
old A. T. Stewart store was purchased and
the historic business built mp again at Broad
way and Tenth street. Within the last few
years magnificent new store building has
been erected on the block below the old
Steward store, and the two buildings COM

Maine Man PrOspers In the West.
PoAr TOWNSEND, Wash, Oct. II, 1905.
To the Editor Of The American:
As was travelling through the farming
section Of Jefferson county, Wash, q te =
days ago, called at fine farm house for
Q drink OF water, and, in conversation
with the owner, I learned his name was
Richardson from Beech Hill, Mount Des-
ert, Maine. I got my drink OF water, but
did not leave until twenty-four hours
later, as I was the first man he had seen
from Hancock county since he left there
in 80, and you may imagine there were q
good many questions for me to answer.
George Richardson left Mount Desert in
1852, came around the Horn in q Newbpxy-
port schooner. Robert Stevens was mate,
James Newbury and Levi Hamblin were
sailors these three were from Bass Har-
Dor. After coasting Q few years on this
coast, Mr.. Richardson took up land in
Island county, WASH, and now it is a
fine town named ''Richardson" after the
Beech Hill boy. He is now located ut
Quiicene, jefferson county. He was Of
fered go, 900 for his farm q short time ago,
but he says it is his home and he will stay
where he is.
He has ten horses, twenty-five cows,
pigs, geese, hens and fruit in abundance.
Ienioyed myself going with him through
his orchards, and seeing the men milk the
twenty-five cows, the milk going into the
separator. The cream goes to the creamery
and the milk to the pigs. Mr.. Richardson
is like most Maine his latch string
is always on the outside.
.
have seen by the Maine papers that
Hancock county has redeemed itself and
elected republican sheriff. In eIecting
Mr.. Silsby you have not only elected a re-
publican, but you have elected q man. !
had the pleasure of serving as deputy
sheriff with Mr.. silsby for a number OF
years, and know he is man who will do
right without fear or favor. II you should
be 80 unfortunate as to have republican
rumseiler in your county, he will receive
the same treatment as the democrat, as
Mr.. Silsby thinks more OF his honor than
of the almighty dollar.
l was very glad that Maine elected re-
publican governor and congressman, and
l am sure she will give Taft good major
ity. Our little state OF Washington in
1885 gave Bryan L., 1913 plurality; in 1904 it
gave Roosevelt "a, 442, and on the third OF
November we will give Taft q good ma
Jority. Yours truly,

WANT TO LEAVE HANCOCK.


Three Hancock County Towns Seek
Annexation to Knox.
A correspondent OF the Bangor CONNER
ciai reports that three Hancock county
towns - Isle au Haut, Swans Island
and Stonington : are taking steps to
be set on from Hancock county and an
nexed to Knox county. The Commercial
correspondent says:
Two years ago . petition was presented to
the Legislature, signed By nearly every voter
in Isle an Haut, asking that the ialAnds in
corporated in that town. be set on from Han
cock and annexed 10 Knox. It was referred to
the committee on towns, but did mot receive
favorable action.
In Stonington, the largest and most impor-
tant town in the group, having extensive and
diversified business int rests, the question 10
somewhat more complex, and public sensi-
ment 10 said to be divided.
The people Of swans Island have been
slower in adopting the idea. but their minds
appear now 10 be made up in it, favor. Oliver
Bowiey, now nrst selectman Of swans
Island, and representative-eiect for that dis
trict in the legislature. 10 expected 10 cham
pion the measure The people Of Deer Isle
are reported ~ rather indifferent ON the sub
iect.
The grounds for asking the Legislature to
permit the people Of these towns 70 assume
political relations with the county with
which they nov and for . long time have had
close business relations. are Get forth In the
stonington petition. which reads - follows:
To the Legislature Of Maine: The under
signed, citizens Of the town Of Stonington,
respectfully represent that the Aforesaid town
II situated nffy miles from Ellsworth, the
county seat Of HAscock county; that they
have NO regular means OF commu uication
est railroad station 10 In the city OF Rockland,
the county seat Of Knox county, with which
they are connected By daily boat in winter
and BY boats making tNo trips per day in
summer: that Rockland IL their DISTRIBUTING
point and trading centre on and through
which AL travel to and from western towns
must pass.
In view Of these facts, and In order that our
legal and mercantile business may be con-
Quoted with more expedition and with less
expense, your petitioners hereby pray that
the Aforesaid town may be Get OF from Ham
COCK county and be ANNEXED 70 and become .
part OF the county OF Knox
Naturally sae people of Hancock county
will be somewhat adverse to losing any of its
territory, and particularly such an important
and hustling town as S,oningt n, and may be
depended upon to put up a sharp argument
in opposition to favorable action regarding
the movement.

The National Election

With q national election less than .
week away, the results Of which are
big with veal or woe for the country,
the passing Of the days in this section
il accompanied with less excitement
than has, perhaps, attended any
national contest since the war.
This apparent apathy may be
accounted for partly by the fact that
political excitement in Maine ceased
with our September election; partly
by the deep seated conviction that
there can be but one outcome of the
struggle-the election OF the repunli-
can ticket.
1t is difficult to believe that the ma
jority of the serious. sober minded,
right thinking voters of this country
are to be carried away by the me-
teoric brilliancy of Mr.. Bryan, who has
yet to stand upon the same sort OF
platform in two successive campaigns,
who has been everything by turns
and nothing long,, and who now
represents nearly everything that the
old-time democracy has never stood
for; it is difficult to believe that this
sort Of thing can prevail against the re-
publican party with its record 0:
achievement, and candidate whose
record of work done is in most strik-
ing contrast with his opponents rec
ord of what he would do.
Happily all signs point to the utter
rout Of desperate but determined foe,
and to continuance Of the policies
which have placed this country in the
front rank of nations.
