ALLEGED CONFESSION IN
 HAckETT MURDER CASE,
Counsel for Mrs. Raymond Makes Rsf-
 erence to 1t.

Augusta, Me, Nov. 22.-The defense in the trial of Mrs. Elsie Hobbs Ray mond, charged with the murder of Matte Hacloett on August f7. 1908. provided a surprise at todays session of court, when Attorney Frank A. Mo- rey, counsel for Mrs. Raymond. aIlud- ed to an alleged confession in connec- ton With the case. He gave no de- tails regarding it. Later the defense DUE the Lincoln town clerk on the witness stand and put into the records the daf1 of the death of William Hurd at Lin- coin in 1896. The matter was allowed to drop at that point.
 Shortly after Hurd's death in a lurn- Der camp by a self-infiicted bullet wound, an alleged confession that hs had something to do with the murder of Mattfe. Hackett was printed fin the newspapers.
 That three tramps were seen by him on the Hackett road one-half mile from the Haclcett home at 5.30 o'clock on tt,s night of the murder was the testimony furnished by Everett Decker of Pert land. Decker was 13 years old at ths time of the crime.
 In an effort to explain the odor oe burning leather, which Mrs. Viola Fol- som, a state witness, testified was mo- ticed the morning after the killing of Hattie HaclSett, when Mrs. RaymOnd is alleged to have burned a pair of tan shoes said to have been worn previous ly by her, the defense introduced Fox well B. Sedgley. He owned the bui1d- ing in which the Raymonds lived. Hs told the court that in nearby build ing there was cobbler's shop, and it was customary for the proprietor to burn his leather scraps.

ROBIN UNDER A HOT
 FIRE AT HYDE TRIAL
Admits Northern Bank Had Big De-
 posit with Carnegie Trust Go.

New York. Nov 22.-The defence of former City Chamberlain Charles H. Hyde came to the fore at his trial to- day. Joseph G. Robin, sllyrocket financier, who wrecked the Northern bank and who is the states principal witness, was under a hot ire of cross examination for several hours. Effort was made to connect him with the Carnegie Trust company to show that he had a motive for making the $130, = 900 loan to the trust company through the Northern bank, which loan the state claims Hyde forced by his con- trol of the city deposits.
 Max D. Steuer as counsel for Hyde, tried to show three things against Robin: That he is insane, or that he previously so characterized himself; that he stole funds in his custody to which he has pleaded guilty; and, third, that he personally was so deeply involved in the affairs of the crum- bling Carnegie Trust company that he made the $130,000 loan voluntarily in an effort to prevent a crash which might in turn bring disaster upon the Northern bank.
 Robin admitted that the Northern bank, of which he was the head, had made large loans, the security of which was stock in the Carnegie Trust con- pany, and that the Northern bank has quarter million dollars on deposit with the Carnegie Trust, which it might have lost by failure of the lat ter.

Sheriff Bauer and the result of the autopsy held today, the authorities be- lieve that there was a death struggle in the woods between the two men for the possession of Bentley's shotgun, in which Prince came out the victor, and then, with Bentley at his mercy, Prince shot him in the back.
 Evidence of Desperate Struggle.
 Prince does not give all the details of the actual shooting in his confes- sion. He admits that he shot Bentley twice. But at the scene of the crime Sheriff Bauer already has found evil dence of desperate struggle The turf was torn up and branches of small trees were broken off over a consider able area about the bloodstained ground where Bentley received his death wound. This, coupled with the fact disclosed at the inquest today, that Bentley had been shot in the back and again in the side of the head. is taken by the authorities as proof that Bent ley lost his life after hard fight.
 Carried Body in WheeIbarrow.
 After killing Bentley, Prince says in his confession, he walked about five miles to Java Lake, where he hid Bentley's shotgun. The gun was found there today. Later on Saturday night, Prince states, he returned to the woods with a horse and buggy and a wheel barrow. He trundled the body in the wheelbarrow from the woods to the place near the highway where he tied his horse, and then drove to the Mac kenzie woods.
 Denies Dismemberine Body.
 There he dug shallow grave and built fire over the body. Fear of at tracting attention caused him to give up the idea of destroying the body, and he covered it with earth.
 Prince denies in his confession that he dismembered the body. He declar- ed that he was alone all Saturday aft ernoon and evening after killing Bent ley.
 Mrs. Princes Brothers Released.
 Following Princes confession, Sher- if Bauer ordered the release of. the two Webber boys, Mrs. Princes brothers, who were taken into custody yester- day.

London. Nov. 22.-The efforts to- wards peace in the Balkans made no visible progress today. Exchanges Of artillery fire and infantry reconnais- sance proceeded along the Tchatalja lines. and Maxim Pasha, the Turkish commander in chief, in a despatch to Constantinople claims that an infantry battle occurred in front of the center of his position and that the Bulgarians left several thousands dead before the Turkish outer works. Not much cred ence is placed in this report.
 5uluarians Occupy Important Town
 Elsewhere in the war zone the mili- fary situation remains unchanged. Ihe Servian forces advancing toward Adri- anople are meeting with opposition.
 The Bulgarians have occupied the important town of Dedeghatch, the terminus of the Salonid railway, on the Aegean Sea.

 The Turkish cruiser Hamidieh came into port at Constantinople today, wounded from a Bulgarian torpedo. The Turkish commander claims that the Hamidieh sank the two Bulgarian torpedo boats with which she was in an eneagement yesterday, but 1t has not vet been confirmed.
 The best opinion in London is that compromise will be effected between the belligerents and that the powers are using their good offices behind the scenes with this end in view.

Progressives to Institute Proceedings
 in All Wilson Districts.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 22.-Seven- teen days after the national presiden- tial election the question whether Wilson or Roosevelt carried California was tonight in a worse tangle of legal complications and threatened lawsuits than at any previous time.
 Progressive leaders, disappointed by a court decision in Los Angeles in- validating totals for electors in pre- cincts where the election judges had sought to save time and trouble By not putting down tally marks for an elector except the top one on each ticket, took heart today and decided to institute like proceedings in all the counties of the state which showed a plurality for Wilson.
 This prospective action was an- nounced following receipt in Los An geles of a telegram from Gov. Hiram w. Johnson at Sacramento beginning:
 Tt is reported in the press here that the progressives are going to quit.'
