FOUND PRISONER
HANGED TO DEATH
Sylvester J. Campbell Who Was to Have
Been Taken From Brunswick to
Portland Today for Hearing.

Brunswick, Me-, Oct 5.-0en chapter
of a most unusual and duplicated Grim.
inal case came to close yesterday,
when Sylvester ]. Campbell of this
town, who was threatened with prose
cution for subordination of perjury
hanged himself in cell at the county
jail here.
It was largely through Sylvester
Campbelrs evidence that his brother,
Willard +. Campbell of Monmouth. was
convicted in the superior court at Port
land short time ago, of felonous
assault upon Sylvester's wife. A later
investigation by the county authorities
based on evidence unearthed by vii.
lard CampbelPs attorney. led to sus-
p'cion that Sylvester had trumped up
the charge against his brother as re-
suit Of quarrel over their fathers es-
tate. Sylvester was locked up Satur.
day and was to have been taken to
Portland today for hearing.
When Officer Herbert Il. Robertson
visited the cell room yesterday he
found Campbelfs body suspended by a
chain from a grating over his cell door.
The body was still warm, but life was
extinct. Campbell had evidently taken
the chain which was used to support
the upper bunk to the ceiling, and
forming one end of it into moose,
stood on the edge Of the lower berth
and fastened the other end to the graf
ing over the door Then leaning over
il is supposed he slipped his mead into
the moose and swung away from the
hunk. Death was caused by strangu-
lation.
The trouble between the Camubell
brothers began shortly after tine death
0f their father, John p. Campbell, at
Bowdoin early in September, 1907 At
that time Millard came to Brunswick
to visit his brother Sylvester, and later
returned to Monmouth About month
later Milard received notice that his
brother had been made administrator
Of the estate, much against AIillard's
wishes, Not hearing anything further
about the disposal of the property, Mil
lard wrote to Sylvester q few weeks
later demanding an immediate settle
ment, and a couple of days afterward
was arrested on warrant sworn out
by Sylvester, charging Millard with as
sault upon his (Sylyester's) wife
The case was brought to tfial, and
on tine testimony of Joseph c. Colombo,
French. Canadian mill operative, Syl-
evster. and the latter's two little girls.
aged 10 and II years, Millard was con.
victed, although he maintained through
out that he was innocent. When Camp
bell came up for sentence, last Thurs.
day. his attorney. NJ. T. 0'Brien fled u
motion for a new trial on the ground
Of newly discovered evidence, declaring
that Sylvester had trumped up the
charge. and had induced Colombo to
periure himself 1t is said that since
the trial Sylvester had told contradic.
tory stories about the alleged assault,
and had also declared that if he did not
get AIillard sent to Jail for life on that
charge he would charge him with as
saulting his two younger daughters.

Rev. J. B. Mckenzie at Pres

FIRST SERMON YESTERDAY
He Preached to a Congregation Which
Filled the Edihce-Pastorat
Starts Of Auspic-
iously.

The Rev. J. B. Mckenzie, who recently
accepted the pastorate OF the Presby-
terian church OF this city, preached his
first sermon as pastor Of the church
yesterday morning before a large con-
gregation. Mr. Mckenzie is a forceful
and eloquent speaker and had no diff.
Guilty in impressing upon his hearers the
points of the message which he wished
to convey. lie took his text from the
sixth chapter OF Matthew, the 2lst verse
reading as follows: For where your
treasure is, there will your heart be
also"
His remarks were in part as follows:
"Tns subject condenses itself into two
phrases or words, treasure and heart.
Your treasure may differ from that OF
someone else, that which he loves best
and prizes most is that which ne breads
most to lose. Your heart means ordi-
narily the seat Of your affections. In
scripture it means more. IL means the
whole inner man, everything that makes
man. Jesus uses this as a mirror to
hold up before us. A mans real god is
that wlicn he counts best, and it may
mean almost anything and we come to
tilt NNuNiusabn bIdb LAAl6 DCob kONt0 t1lbk
is his god. If this comes first, then
God is not our Lord, but secondary
consideration.
we should be much engaged with
things here below, but when we are free,
where snail we go? When we are free
from business our hearts turn TOWARD
our trasure, some of them turn upFand
some turn down, but all turn toward
their treasures. Every earthly treasure
is one that may be taken away from us,
and moth and rust claim all treasures
except one. If we are so wrapped in our
treasure, when it is taken away, where
will we be? We will have nothing.
"On the other nand, Jesus says that
we are to lay up treasures in heaven,
where they cannot be taken away, and
neither moth nor rust can corrupt or
thieves break through and steal"
Mr.. Mckenzie is a graduate Of the
Montreal Presbyterian college having
finished mis- course in 1905, after wtica

terian church at Lancaster, Ontario,
where he has been until accepting the
call to this parish snort time ago

People Crazy With Fear Block
Rescue
TEN PERSONS WERE KILLED
A "Rookery" in New York City Was
Fired by Incendiaries This Morn
ing--A veritable Fire
Trap.

New York, Oct. 5.--Ten are dead, sew
eral fatally burned and six seriously in
jured, is the toll of an incendiary fire
early to-day which gutted a rookery ten
ement in the heart of the crowded Null
berry street district. Before the occu-
pants were awake, the front stairway
was mass of flames and the rear fire
escape was so choked with refuse that
the iiremen were unable to reach the
terror stricken occupants.
Many jumped to the roofs Of adjacent
buildings, and then to sidewalks, re-
ceiving fatal injuries. Six infants were
thrown from the windows into the arms
of the police and iremen. In their panic
the tenants paid little heed to the lad
ders or the fire nets.
Fire Marshal Kelley says that the fire
was the result OF a black hand attempt
at extortion. Two men were seen rolling
a barrel into the hallway ten minutes
before the fire broke out. Two explo-
sions occurred the minute the fire alarm
was turned in. The building is a fire
trap, like many Others in the same
neighborhood. The dead are all Italians.

PASTOR IN BARRE SEVEN YEARS.
Rev. F. A. Poole of the Congregational
Church Spoke of Anniversary


1t was seven years ago yesterday that
the Rev. Francis A. Poole became pas
tor of the First Congregational church.
None of the pastors of the Protestant
churches seven years ago now remains
in Barre, and each of the churches,
strangely enough. has had three pastors
in that period. There is but one other
Congregational minister in the county
VINO has had longer service in his pres.
ent position than the Rev. Mr.. Poole,
and he, the Rev. F. B. Kellogg Of Water
bury, was installed just a few months
prior.
In recognition OF his seven years as
a pastor in Barre, the Rev. MIR. Poole
yesterday morning reviewed the work of
those seven years and briefly outlined
what is now hoped for. He recalled in
connection Herewith the changed aspect
of the city in the material point of
view-most of the changes for the good,
as he considered. He referred also to the
fact that all the churches of the city
seem to be stronger than they were
seven years ago and to be making prog-
ress all the while. Most OF thesn, he
said, had reduced their Indebtedness and
increased their membership, while adding
to their spiritual life.
Then referring specifically to his own
church. he reviewed, without going ex-
tensively into the use Of figures, the
evidences Of progress during the seven
years and mentioned also the details in
which he thought that his church had
failed. The sermon was q frank talk
to his people and was received in the
same spirit of frankness. Dominated, as
it was, with a feeling of courage and
faith, it left deep impression on his
hearers.
