IN FRANKLIN COUNTY
The Republicans Will Have Larger
Plurality Than Two Years Ago.

Phillips, Me-. August 4.-The Maine
Woods prints the following:
Franklin county will give a larger
Republican plurality than two years
ago. A Pennington man who keeps in
close touch with things political re-
marked a few days ago that the Re-
publican vote in this country is pretty
sure to be a pleasant surprise to all
Republicans who haven't given the
matter any special attention. He said,
Congressman Swasey and Governor
Fernald are both particularly strong
in Franklin county. Mr.. SWasey has
practised more or less at the Franklin
bar for years He knew every attor-
ney in the county by their front
names a long time before he was
nominated for Congress. They all
knew him as John" and considered
him their friend. Governor Fernald's
popularity in this county was first
shown by the action of the different
town caucuses in pledgings him every
delegate that was sent to the Bangor
convention where he was first nomi-
mated for governor. and then making
good at the polls by giving him a
splendid majority. The county ticket
has never been stronger.

DEFENSE MOVES.
Newton, Crippen's Counsel
Makes Application
For Examination Of Remains
From Crippen Cellar.
atA.t.. l..a
All Stories Of Alleged Confession
Denied by Officers.

London, Aug. 4.-Solicitor Newton,
who has been retained to defend DR..
Crippen. made his first move today
when ne filed a formal application ask
ing the authorities to permit an indie
pendent physician to examine the bits
eff human flesh found in the Crippen
cellar.
1t is understood that Newton will
contend that they cannot be identified
as having belonged to the body of Belle
Gilmore.
Supt. Forest Of Scotland Yard again
today gave his personal assurance that
not a single word had been received
from Inspector Dew to indicate that
DIR. Crippen had confessed He added
that had a confession been made he
certainly would be informed
Scotland Yard is kept busy denying
all sorts of rumors concerning Crippen
and Miss lie Neve, the most recent de-
scribing an alleged confession by the
doctor, emanatng from Quebec Supt
Froest treated the report lightly, init
mating that Inspector would not be
likely to give out information in Que
bee which he had not first cabled here
The superintendent also pointed out
that had Crippen confessed it would
nave been necessary to send Sergt
Mitchell to quebec with dispositions
taken in London in order to secure the
extradition of the prisoners.
Mitchell, accompanied by two ward
reSses, sailed this morning on the
steamer Lake Manitoba. for Quebec
The question whether Crippen and
mis- companion have been married, has
been revived. because of it's bearing on
the status of the woman as a possible
witness against Crippen 1t is f1nown
that the police are hoping that Miss
LIE Neve will make a witness for the
crown. but if it is proved that she is
the wife of the DOCTOR she may refuse
absolutely to take the stand against
her husband.
Discussing this feature of the case to-
day, Supt. Froest said that an exhaus-
tive investigation had failed to produce
any evidence of such a marriage Ac-
cordingly he said, the warrant for the
Woman's arrest was made out against
Ethel Clara lie Neve and not against
Mrs. Crippen."
