lawyer from Boston post haste,
Thursday. to look out for their in
terests. This lawyer, Mr.. Cohen.

day, to secure the services of Hon.
y. ]. McGilicuddy in the case Fail
ing in this ne requested IA continuance,
which was granted, as stated
The truck in which the liquor was
being transported was furnished, as it
understood by the officers, by this
company.
Under the laws of Maine the truck
can be condemned and disposed of by
the state, just as the liquor can. The
fact that it was being used for illegal
transportation of liquor furnishing the
reason for this.
Tho case took a new twist, Thurs
day noon when Deputy United States
Marshal Burton S. Smith of Portland
arrived in Auburn for the purpose of
Investigating the matter
When he had talked the case over
with Sheriff Stevens, Deputy Smith
decided that it was a case which war
rantcd action by the United States
marshals department under the pro-
| visions of the Webb law which for
bids the transportation of liquor into
prohibitory territory.
He stated that the federal authori-
ties would not, in all probability make
any move in the case until the An
droscoggin county officers had finished
with the men in the lower court
which is expected to be, on Saturday
as that is the day to which the con-
tnuance was granted
The federal officers have had case
somewhat similar with the past week
| in Portland. when a man named Mulk-
hern was arrested by the local au-
thcrities of that county on an iliega
transportation charge. 1t developed
that the liquor was transported by
team and auto from Boston to Port
land This was held, by the federal
authorities to be a violation of the
Webb law and Mulkhern was taker

1T is SURPRISING!
Republicans Hope PATTI Will Lane
The Democratic Nomination.

Bangor, Me, The surprising thing
which developed in connection with
the conference of leading Republicans
OF the State and of the Bird District
here, today, is the almost unanimous
hope that the Democratic nomination
for Congress to succeed Forrest Good
win will be William r. Pattangali
of Watoryille. The Republicans are
of the opinion that Mr.. Gould will
make a very much stronger opponent
than will Mr.. Pattangall and naturally
they hope for the success of the weak
er man. 1t is said. however, that
Mr.. Pattangalls nomination is by no
means a certainty.
Mr.. Gould will carry, it is believed
Somerset, Waldo and Hancock coun-
ties and Will run fairly even with Mr.
Pattangall in Washington county. The
Waterville mans strength in his own
county is conceded.
The sentiment is that the Progress

the guilty party is still at large.
Johns was present at the inquest and
was identified by several of the wit
nesses who saw him with the girl, on
the night of July 4. He was not allow
ed to testify by his counsel and was
returned to the Jail, although lie prob
ably will be released. tomorrow.
After declaring their belief that the
girl had been murdered the jury in its
finding said:
1.-THE evidence in this case fails to
show any motive for crime on the part
of Herbert Johns, and we feel certain
that when we consider the evienee.
which showed the deceased to have al
ways had a cheerful nature and there
fore not subject to morose spells and
therefore not liable to take her own
life. that crime has been committed.
However. we feel that this as other
crimes of its kind, will never be dis
covered, but some evidence Of guilt
may subsequently be brought TO light
resulting in just punishment for the
culprit."
The testimony at the inquest failed
to throw any additional light on the
mystery surrounding the girls death,
DR. p. J. Higgins, who performed the
autopsy, declared that death was caus-
ed by drowning. There was nothing
about the body, he said. to indicate a
struggle. although he found marks on
the wrist and abrasions over the left
eye.
