sion of the court, during which

that Muret knew nothing about the
murder of the Aumuller girl.
The arrest of Muret came about
through the investigation of the police
of Schmidts confession. A fiat was dis
covered containing Photographic and
printing apparatus, the ownership of
which was traced to the pseudo dentist
aid confessed murderer. Muret's arrest
followed. Muret was remanded until
tomorrow for sentence.
Hans Schmidt, one time priest and
confessed slayer of Anna Aumuller,
took the witness stand in the federal
court, this afternoon, and took full re-
sponsihility for the counterfeiting OPP
erations for which his associate. Doc

People Appeal for
Investigation.
Hint at League Between
Officers and RunseIIers.
Petitions, Received by Governor
And Council, on Table.
Hundreds Of Leitsrs-..May Mean
Calling Of Special Session.

Petitions alleging notification of
the prohibitory law in Knox county,
signed by hundreds of Knox county
citizens, We're presented by Governor
Haines, Tuesday, to the Council. The
petitions ask that an investigation
be made into the doings of the sheriff,
county attorney and judge of the
Rockland police court, and also hints
at league between officers and rum
sellers whereby the last named are
notified before a raid.
Captain William p. Hurley, member of
the Democratic State committee from
Knox county, is Judge of the Rockland
police court, and was appointed under
Governors Plaisted's administration
Philip Howard of Rockland is the county
attorney. while Adelbert j. Tolman is the
sheriff. the last two having held office
under Democratic administrations.
1t will be remembered that Sheriff
Tolman was among the officials
against whom charges were preferred
by the last Legislature for alleged
nom enforcement IF the prohibitory
law At the time of the hearings, he
was quarantined at the jail in Rock
land for small pox and was unable to
appear before the State Tribunal. His
ease was finally Indefinitely post
poned.
Beside the petitions. Gov Haines
stated. Tuesday. that he had received
hundreds of letters decrying the multi
fication conditions that exist in this
county and asking tl.at ne cause some
investigation into the doings of the
Knox county officials. 4
1t is common talk among men
acquainted with Maine enforcement
conditions, that Knox county is prac-
tically the only county in the State
where no attempt at enforcement is
made except by farcial warrants and
raids. 1t is rumored that a deplerable
