WASTED LIFE.
Joel c. Pfeb|e Dies at
Insane Hospital.
Life Convict at Thomaston for
Nearly Halt a Century.
Native Of WhiteiieId...M Murderer,
Like His Father Before Him.

Joel c. Preble. native of White
field and patient at the Insane hosp!-
tai, died at that institution Tuesday
forenoon at the age of - years, the
cause Of death being senile dementia.
The remains We're sent to the Maine
Medical School at Portland on train
"a yesterday forenoon. For nearly
half century. until his transfer to the
Insane hospital the first OF last
September, he had been prisoner at
the Maine State prison at Thomastoh.
where he was serving life sentence
for murder. He was committed 10
the prison from Androscoggin county
Oct. :, 1861 for the murder OF his VIE
So far as could be learned from the
files of the Journal of the year 1861,
which contained a very meagre account
of the crime which was probably loSt
sight of on account OF the war news.
Joel Carleton Preble probably kllle"
his wife sometime during the second
week of July, at or near AUBURN. J"
AndrOscOggin county, but the exact
date was not given. Some Augusta
people who remember the case stare
that the deed was committed WITH
knitting needle or a hat pin. he stab
hing her to the heart. only four weeks
after their marriage. The wound mao"
was so small that it was followed by
no external bleeding and rendered the
cause of the woman's death mystery
for some little time.
After committing the crime Preb!e
made his escape to the woods ana TOT
five days succeeded in evadins the OF
ficers who were searching for nm pu,
at the end of that time he was driven
out by hunger and was detected Whl!e
begging food of d little child. After
his arrest he was taken before the Au-
burn court for examination, where ne
pleaded guilty to the charge of murder
and was committed to Auburn jail
to await the sitting of the September
term of court
The files referred to above contained
no account of the trial but the result
is shown by the fact that on Oct.
of the same year he was committed 10
the State prison at ThOmaston. being
given a life sentence for murder. At
the time of his transfer to the Insane
hospital he was in length OF service
much the oldest convict at the prison.
the nearest approach to his term being
that of Samuel d. Haines of Patten,
who was committed Sept. o3, 1879, ana
who is serving life sentence for the
murder of Policeman Robbins of Rock
land.
Jerry Preble of Whitefield. the father
of Joel, was also Il murderer and was
serving a sentence at Thompson eor
the murder of his wife at the time that
Joel committed his deed. The elder
Preble killed his wife by crushing in
her skull with hammer as she slept.
the deed having been committed in
that part of Whitefield now known as
COODerS Mills.
