ANOTHER STRANGER" IN TOWN.
Was Mentioned to Judge in City Court
by Respondent in Intoxication Case.

Napoleon Paquin was arraigned be-
fore acting City Judge A. A. Sargent in
city court this morning to answer to
a charge of intoxication, second offensa.
When pressed for a disclosure, he told
the stilted story Of the stranger who
purchased several pints Of liquor for
Paquins consumption. This time the
unidentified lawbreaker hailed from
Beebe Plains, ?. O.. and Napoleon met
him on the railroad tracks. The strang-
or showed an amazing knowledge "
local surroundings, however. for he short
ly returned from successful quest. Last
night it is alleged that the respondent
was creating something of disturbances
in the vicinity of his home on West
street. Someone complained of too much
noise and officer Edwin ]. Mcleod went
to the house and took Paquin into Gus
t0dt on q warrant issued by States
Attorney J. Ward Carver
In court this morning, Paquin was in.
clined to verbosity in delivering his tale
of wrongdoing and more than the usual
time allotted 70 the mysterious stranger
story was consumed in the telling. Act
ing Judge Sargent imposed fine of Sl5
and costs of S449, withAan alternative
sentence of 81 days in the county jail
az Montpelier Paquin made arrange
ments to pay the fine and costs.

the Booth plant for power and have been
crippled during the past few days, be-
ing compelled to get along on electric

mer there is a slight increase of work

TURLEY TRIED
TO FLEE FROM
INSANE ASYLUM
Convicted Slayer Of John McAuley Was

the murder of John McAuley at Web
sterville, who is being observed at the
local institution, fled from the insane
asylum yesterday afternoon but was re.
captured after hard chase after he had
been at liberty short time.
The attempt to escape occurred while
Turley was employed carrying building
material into the exercise yard for con-
struction of the new criminal ward Of
the asylum. The exercise yard is s,ir-
rounded by a brick wall twelve feet
high but it had been opened in one spot
to permit of passage. This opening had
been partially closed, and masons were
at work rebuilding the wall to its full
height when Turley jumped onto a stag
ing and leaped over the wall.
His act was seen, however, and he
was pursued as he fled in the direction
of the Winoosk river. He plunged into
the river and waded across, the water
being about waist deep. Augustus Tur-
ner, jr., mechanical engineer at the asy-
lum. followed Turley across the river
and soon overlook the fugitive. Turley
made no resistance and was brought
back to the asylum after Being at lib
erty half an hour

Which Was Seen by the Cali
fornian on Night of Disaster
TESTIFIED BY CAPT. LORD
Master of the Californian Declared That
the Vessel They Saw Was About the
Same Size as the Californian-Dis-
crepancies of Testimony Expected.

London, May l4.-Officers of the liner
Californian, which was in the vicinity of
the steamship Titanic on the night when
she sank, were examined by the British
court of inquiry into the disaster to-day.
The belief that j. Bruce Ismay, general
manager of the White Star line, would
be present, attracted more spectators
than usual.
Sir Rufus Isaacs indicated that there
would be material difference between the
captain and the officers in regard to the
steamer seen from the deck of the Cali
fornian during the night of the catastro-
.phe. Lord Mersey, who was present dur
ing the examination, remarked on the
impression on his mind as to the steam
err Titanic. Captain Stanley Lord of the
Californian, however, said he was sure
that the steamer was not the Titanic,
but was a vessel about the size of the
Californian.

WANTS TO READ OF HIMSELF.
Richeson's Desire Gratified and Is Civ
en- Unclipped Newspapers.

Boston, May l4.-"There is nothing
they can print about me now that Is
any worse than what l have already
heard and read" calmly argued Clarence
V. T. Richeson with Sheriff Quinn in
his cell at the Charles street Jail yes
terday while he besought the sheriff TO
allow him to read what the papers were
saying of his case.
Since the former Baptist minister of
/ Cambridge received his sentence of death,
early in January. for the murder of
his sweetheart, Avis Linnell, all the
newspapers given him have had the news
pertaining TO the case cut out.
The prisoners plea had its force with
that sheriff however, and anxious tc
crafty as much as possible every whim
of the prisoner in his highly nervous
state during the final hours before his
execution. which is set for the week be-
ginning May 10. Sheriff Quinn will. for
the rest of Rieheson's stay in the jail,
allow him the papers uncut, unless they
contain sensational or unusually trying
news.
