SkoWIhegan, Me, Dec. 13.-(SpeciaD.
ivory Buzzell, who is charged with
the murder of his father, John Buz-
zell, in East Skowhegan Sat
urday, was arraigned today in
the Skowhegan municipal court
before Judge Lawrence. Through
his attorney, A. K. Butler, Buzzell
waived the reading of the warrant and
examination and entered a plea of not
guilty. He was bound over to await
the action of the grand jury at the
December term of the supreme court,
which will convene Dec. %. During the
hearing Buzzell appeared as calm and
unconcerned as if he had nothing to
do with the matter. He appeared not
to notice anything that was said but
looked straight ahead.
The interest in the affair grows from
day to day. Nearly everyone concerned
in the case tells a different story of the
the effect that he struck his father in
self-defence and Monday he told Sher-
if Moore that his father did not at
tempt to strike him. Young BuzZelrs
story in substance to Sheriff Moore
and to his attorney is now substantial
ly as he told it at first, excepting he
now says his father came upstairs
with slingshot in his hand, and that
he reached out and seized his rifle,
which was standing in a corner,
whereupon his father started down
stairs again and he shot him as he
was going down. Young Buzzell for
merly said he first struck his father,
but in his latest story he makes no
mention of how his victim received his
injuries about the head.
Sheriff Moore went today to the
scene of the murder and conducted an
investigation. On his return he made
statement, saying he found the sub
stance of the sons story as told today

client was not entirely clear in his
mind. giving the impression that Bug
zell did not realize the full enormity Of
his act, and that in questioning him he
would make irrelevant answers, as If
he did not comprehend what his attor-
ney was saving.
According to reports from those
who have known young Buzzell all his
life and lived near him in Canaan,
Buzzell has always had an uncontroll-
able temper. He has never done any
work. He is reported to have always
been sullen and uncivil to his father.
Father and son have always ruarreled
a great deal. Different citizens OF
Canaan who went to school with the
younger BuzZell claim that when ne
was boy he was OF an ugly DISPOSE
ton and had considerable trouble in
school, and that if he was punished by
the teacher he would sit calmly and
allow the teacher to pound him about
the head.
The general opinion here is that At
torney Butler will endeavor to secure
the substitution of a manslaughter
charge for that of murder. Some are
of the opinion that he will put i'm a
defence of insanity.
Buzzell was as unconcerned in APP
pearance about the affair Monday as If
nothing had happened. The most OF
the time he lies calmly on the couch
in his cell and has slept we'll each
night. He eats his meals with apparent
relish. He is very quiet and says very
little concerning the shooting.
Ruzzell is dark, with deep black
hair and whiskers, covering nearly
all his face. His eyes are sharp and
very alert and look straight out. He
weighs about 1865 pounds and is about
5 feet and inches tall.
The Buzzell farm is of about zoo
acres, all but one acre being In Show
hogan and that one being In Canaan
The house is about one-quarter OF
mile from the Canaan town line and
~ miles from Canaan village.

to be true. II believe the father was
shot near the foot of the stairs. I
found the bullet in the wall in front
of the stairs today. After the man had
been shot he apparently walked across
the kitchen and out of doors and then
came back again, falling across the
threshold as he entered the door.
Whether he died Immediately l can
not say The murdered man must have
been dubbed over the head after he
was shot. There was a cut over the
right temple and there were great
gashes on the forehead.
MY belief is that the man must have
been dubbed after he was shot. for
if he had been dubbed before the shot
the blow would have rendered him un-
conscious and he could not have walk
led a step ! find, however, that the IA
Their walked about 4s feet after he was
shot, according to the trace Of blood.
I should say that the man had been
dead several hours before the coroner
got there. In the meantime young Buzz
zell probably stayed in the Kitchen
The slingshot theory is conflicting,
as the son claims at times that his ia
Their did not attempt to strike him and
at other times that he shot his father
because he attempted to hit him. The
slingshot, which was a buckskin bag
commonly used years ago to carry
gold in, with bullet in it, was found
under the murdered man by Deputy
Sheriff H. A. Harris of Canaan. Har-
ris claims that when he went into the
house young Buzzell told him that he
would find slingshot about his ia
Tiers body. 1t would appear, accord
ing to Harris story, that the slingshot
must have been placed under the body
after the man was killed.
Coroner Addition holds to the theory
that the man was shot out of doors by
young Buzzell from the chamber win
dow and the body then dragged into
the house. A. K. Butler, attorney for
young Buzzell made a statement Mon
day afternoon to the effect that his
