Deputy Sheriff Harvey Lincoln OF

Boston detective bureau, Howard w.
Morgan and w. Dickson, arrived
here on the eyer Saturday afternoon
with the three Duplois boys who are
wanted by the authorities in the case
of Cyrus Motif. the aged yiolinist
who came TO his death, so the state
charges, from injuries received at a
dance in the Beartown dance hall
owned by Thomas Mears, on the
morning of March 49,
1t was a somewhat complicated
trail that the detectives and the de
putty had to follow but once they
had made a start they were confident
that they would eventually run down
the men for whom they were seeking.
Mr.. Morgan, of the detective agency
OF Morgan and Wood, personally took
charge of the case. He made two
visits to Bennington Immediately fol-
lowing the inquest and at once picked
up the trail of the three Canadians.
Fred Duplois, who was the black
smith employed on the Rupert hum
Der job, is the only one of the three
directly held responsible for the death
of Motfit
His two brothers. Jim and Albert,
were with him at the dance and the
three left together after the fight. 1t
was learned that they remained in
Rupert until Monday and then went
to Salem, N. Y. Here Fred sought
the services of physician to care for
the hand he injured in the fight.
From Salem the three went to Green
wich and from Greenwich to Sarato-
"a. At some point in these wander
fngs jim Duplos left his brothers
and went to Pittsfield where sister,
Bertha Duplois, lived. He explained
the difficulty into which Fred had
fallen and it was arranged that all
four should go to their former home
at Rawdon, Canada, little village OF
about 200 people some so miles north
of Montreal.
AS soon as the officers learned that
the four the three brothers and sis
ter, had united in one party they
made no effort to follow the
trail further but went directly to
Canada and communicated with the
authorities in Montreal.
