HELD IN HILLMAN CASE.
Maine Man Arrested in Connection
With Disappearance of Officer.

ISLAND FALLS, Maine, Dee. 30
Freeman Nadeau, tavern-keeper of
Patten, was held here yesterday for
the grand jury in connection with the
inquiry into the disappearance of Dep
nty Sheriff Harold C. Hiliman of that
village on the night of the 2Ist. This
action was taken at the conclusion of
a hearing before trial Justice on a
warrant charging Nadeau with muir
derous assault. Bail was placed at
So, 900.
The county officers who have been
trying to learn what became of Hill
man after he left his home on the
night of the 21st believed that he was
attacked because of his activity in
making liquor seizures. The evidence
presented at the hearing was purely
circumstantial Taking the witness
stand in his own behalf Nadeau enter
ed general denial of the assault
charge and attempted to prove an
alibi.
Nadeau, up TO noon today, had been
unable to furnish bail The prosecu-
tion IS based on the theory that Hill
mans activities in enforcing the pro-
hibitory law had provoked the tavern
keeper s enmity.
