Letter from Mr.. Boston.

Gardiner Maine. March IL, 1872
Editor Kennebec Journal An article
published in your paper. under date of
March is, signed by Josiah s. Maxcy,
which he requests me TO answer.
Mr.. MaXey says that, as far as he
knows. l am the only man in the city
who worked for good government who
IS trying To turn out two of its present
aldermen. I wish to say that l know of
a large number of men who are in favor
of the recall who We're in favor, and
worked hard for, the commission govern
ment, and Mr.. Maxcy ought to know
this.
In answer to his question in regard to
the management of the Hollingsworths &
Whitney Co., l will say that if they en-
gagged two men to run new and untried
machinery in their paper mills and these
men proved themselves unfit, and
through their arbitrary manners caused
large number of the men TO go out on
strike, and discharged several of the old
and experienced employees in the middle
of the winter, and some of them tor per-
sonal reasons, thereby demoralizing the
working force. and were conducting the
business in an eXtravagant and incom-
petent manner they would surely try
and find new and more competent men,
and men in whom they had confidence
and they would not wait long before de-

From the moment of their escape
the three men employed the same
desperate methods to protect them
selves from recapture which marked
their escape from prison and they dld
not hesitate at the crucial moment TO
try to sell their lives as dearly as
possible 1t was a futile attempt
however, because they were arme:
with shot guns and revolvers, while
their pursuers had full supply of re-

Early in the day the telephone
operator at 8iretna, about Is miles
south of this city, reported the pres
ence of the desperate men. 1t had the
result of bringing to the vicinity SIX
organized posses. Three miles out of
Springfield the posses learned that the
convicts had forced James Blunt and
his wife to give them breakfast and
to furnish team and wagon with
which they hoped to escape to Al

compelled to lash his horses into a run,
but the horses kept up the pursuit until
they We're within a few hundred yards
of the fleeing desperadoes. Then CHEZ

drive. Briggs himself grasped the reins
and whipped the horses into a gallop.
When they We're a short distance from
the pursued men Briggs and Trouton
opened fire with their rifles. From that
time until Morley surrendered it was a
battle over three miles of rough coun-
try roads.
Finally there came a halt when young
Blunt toppled back into the wagon tine

careful aim. fired at the men in the
wagon Meantime other members of the
posse came up and joined in the fusi-
lade. Dowd was next to fall. 1t was at
first reported he had taken his own life
with a shot in the temple, but Chief
Briggs believes he was a victim of one
of the bullets from the posse. Taylor
was shot down next. and then Morley,
the third convict. threw up his hands in
token of surrender.
Chiaf Briggs shouted to him to drop
his weapon or he would meet instant
death.

to comic forward with hands up This
Morley did and Briggs took a second
