HARTFORD AND MIDDLETON

MILITARY COMPANY REMAINS
Both Factions Claim They Are Glad
Trouble Is Over-Prichards in Ig

Quiet prevails at Meadville The
bulk OF the militia has returned leav-
ing the Brookhaven company and six
Natchez boys under Capt. Joe Storm
Of Brookhaven who will remain in
ease of renewed hostilities between
factions.
Bunckley Halford and Ferd Middle
ton who were charged with assault
with intent to kill were arraigned be-
fore Chancellor Hicks and were
promptly discharged for lack of evi-
dence The people from outside OF
the town who came i'll when they
heard that the feud had broken OUT
afresh went back to their farms. and
after conference with the sheriff
it was thought unnecessary to hold
the soldiers there any longer
Twenty-six Of them volunteered to
remain and they were left at the
court hose for the remainder of the
week and unless advice is received
to the contrary four of those who
came in last night will return today
making the total number at Mead
Vile thirty.
The companies returned none the
worse for their experience and though
they had to sleep on thrrbenches,
the floor and the desks oi@ehe court
room. they did not complain and
stood the discomfort with the patience
Of seasoned campaigners.
Nothing occurred to disturb the
soldiers and one of them says that
he had nothing 10 do but sit around,
smoke and eat chicken The food
supplied was good and there was no
room for complaint on that score,
The people OF Meadville treated them
all well. and where they were posted
them with greatest OF hospitality anil
treated them as guests.
Both factions claim that they arc
glad that the trouble IS over and both
say Illdl tllCN VIII tio iiolIliiS "

that they will drop all demonstra-
tions. and the Pritchards, who claim
to know nothing OF Sunday night 5
shooting. say that they were OF the
opinion that there would be no more
trouble until the attempt on Earnest
Newman 5 life. They only rallied
and barricaded their home under the
apprehension that the Newmans
would interpret the overt act as be-
ing committed by them or sanctioned
by them.
Though quiet IS restored and things
have an appearance OF peace. there
will be feeling OF unrest in the town

Authorities Believe That Mrs. WoodiI
Threatened to Expose Eastman. and
In Fear OF Serving a Prison Term
He Killed Her.
With the compromise verdict OF the
coroner's jury at St. Michaels. Nd.
that Robert T. Eastman either killed
her or was an accessory to the muir
der of Edith May Woodill. and the
declaration OF States Attorney Taylor
that he was through with the case. the
strange dual tragedy which has for
nearly a week focused the eyes OF
the entire country upon this little out
or the way hamlet OF Maryland's
famous eastern shore became a closed
incident.
-Four Of the twelve Jurors who lis
tened TO the testimony at the reopened
inquest refused 10 sign the veHiict
until the words "or accessory 20 the
crime" were added to the draft which,
approved by the majority. bluntly ac-
cused Eastman OF the murder. None OF
the four dissenting jurymen would
say that any other person than East
man was responsible for the girls
death. They merely wished 20 protest,
they said. against the manner In which
the inquiry was conducted. declaring
that much available evidence was not
adduced.
There was no evidence 10 show that
anyone bat Eastman and his victim
were in the bungalow.
And the final theory OF the authori-
ties is this:
That Eastman was In need Of mon
ey; that he probably had been getting
money from Mrs. Woodu for some
time; that he undoubtedly knew some
thing Of her past life. and that he had
been Matchmaking her; that he at
tempted 20 continue this practice and
that the woman rebelled. intimating
that she. too. had found out certain
things about Eastman. and that II
driven 20 II would expose him.
Eastmans dread OF serving a term
In the penItentiary Is well known. His
wife has said that he told her he would
rather commit suicide than be con
nued in prison. The pawnlng OF the
Jewelry the authorities set down 10
the desire of Eastman to get away.
When cornered the man decided that
his race had been run and that he had
better make an end to Il all. AS 10
why Mrs. Woodill went to the bunga-
low there was no evidence.
Letter Tells Of Alleged ORGY.
A letter found upon Eastman's body.
addressed to Miss Winnie Bradcome in
New York. gave Eastman's ill-sustain-
cd excuse for the crime. 1t was a
rambling account OF how he had been
out in launch with party OF men
and women. all of whom had been
drinking to excess with the exception
OF himself and Mrs. Woodil; OF hov
one OF the women in a 1T OF Jealous
frenzy had attacked Mrs. Woodin with
q wine bottle and killed her; how the
remainder or the party had taken to
flight, leaving him to dispose OF the
body, and how as a means OF escape
from all OF his troubles the writer had
decided to end his life Eastman
asked Miss Bradcome to hurry TO
Maryland TO take charge OF his body
and his property. Miss Bradcome is
Eastman's wife. They were married
In 1908. and lived together only a
week.
