Sheriff Bryson Thinks
Mildred Sullivan Dead
And Her Body Concealed

Sheriff Bryson of Aroostook county,
who was in Bangor Thursday night,
rather ridiculed a paper story OF
"newlv made grave on the shore of
Monson pond, near Fort Fairfield
the inference being that Mildred Sui
Ivan had been buried there.
Somebody made the story quite cir
cumstantial," he said, smiling signify.
'sHe first told of a pile of dirt which
looked as though it had been turned
over within day or two, and went
on to describe the discovery of an
overcoat near the Canadian PACING
tracks. a half mile from Fort Fairfield.
Whoever wrote this evidently thought
the overcoat was the one wrapped
around Miss Sullivan on the night
when. as alleged, she was taken from
the Pelletier house.
Now, the grave was too small to
have ever contained an adult body. 1t
NAV have been intended for a dog but
there is no reason to suppose that 1t
was intended for Mildred Sullivan. II
wasn't really a grave-just a small
hole in the ground, and it had no con-
nection with the Sullivan case. AS for
the coat 1t was a very old one that
somebody had apparently thrown
away; so I don't see any significance
in that discovery, either.
dc I believe Mildred Sullivan In
Bangor? No, 1 don't-nor do the other
Aroostook authorities. I firmly believe
she is dead, and that her body was re-
moved somewhere at night l don
know where it was taken, of course
that is the very valuable piece of in
formation we would all be gratified to
learn. 1 will say that we have some
important evidence which will be dis
closed at the proper time. This ism
the proper time, however, and l can
discuss the matter further. There Is
nothing new-at least, nothing that car
properly be given to the papers-ano
has not been for some days.
Mr.. Bryson denied another published
story to the effect that some prisoners
had broken out of Heu1ton Jail. j
didn't see the story myself" he said
although somebody mentioned 1t &c
me 1t was all pure Imagination"
Mr.. Bryson is here on private eusi'
ness. in no way connected with his
office.

NEW TRIAL IS
GRANTED, SOUTH
ARD VS.. B. & A.

The law court has just handed down
a rescript granting a new trial to the
Bangor & Aroostook r. r. Co. in the
suit brought against that corporation
by Theodore Southland of Pressure Isle.
The new trial is to be on the question
of damages only
Southland was injured in the Grind
stone wreck, July %, 1911, and brought
suit. The jury found in favor of the
plaintiff and fixed the amount of the
damages at $500. The trial was held
in Aroostook county.
After the trial the defendant corpor-
alton filed a motion with the court
for new trial on the ground of newly
discovered evidence which had bear
ing on the case. 1t came out at the
hearing on the motion for the new
trial that a Pinkerton detective had
been living in Presque Isle and had
observed the plaintiff. The detective
testified that he had seen him at
dances, skate, play pool and do a num-
Der of things which would indicate
that he was not in the physical con-
dition which he claimed to be at the
time of the trial.
The matter went to the law court
and the rescript granting the new
trial is by Chief Justice Savage.
1t read as follows:
Aroostook County: Theodore South
ard VS.. Bangor & Aroostook Railroad
Co.
Rescript by Savage, c. ].
l. A motion by defendant in an
action for personal injuries for new
trial on the ground of newly discovered
evidence may be sustained when the
evidence taken under it shows such
acts and doings of the plaintiff after
the trial, but nearly related to the
time of the trial, that if this testimony
be true, the plaintiff at that time could
not have been in the physical condi-
ton he said he was and could not
have been suffering as he claimed.
Such evidence may be regarded as
newly discovered
2. A motion for a new trial on the
ground of newly discovered evidence
Will be granted, If the moving party
is otherwise entitled to it, when it
seems probable to the court that the
verdict viii be different when the case
is submitted anew with the additional
evidence
Motion sustained New trial granted
on the question of damages only.

The Governor is interested in his

bought it three years ago when the
trees were 20 years old. They had been
poorly cared for and were laboring I'M

and insects. He began to spray ana
prune them, painting over the rough
places. He began a system of fertii-

between the trees. AS a result his ap-
pies are larger than in most orchards,
perfect in shape and color.
THE farmer can get his own price
for his products when he meets the
demands of the public taste declared
Governor Haines. He said that more

to hunt a market. The market had
come to him and now he is selling each

the opinion that there is the same diff

is in oranges, some not being worth
more than 80 cents per dozen where
for others the consumer will pay 6O

dent upon the election OF Charies >.
Mellen as president in 1913.
Two years later Mr.. Todd received
a years leave of absence. On the day
it expired his retirement was an
nounced, with the appointment OF
Timothy e. Byrnes as first vice presi-
dent Despite repeated official denials,
a general belief prevailed that Mr..
Todds retirement was the culmina-
ton of IS months friction with Mr..
Mellen.
Since 1907 Mr. odd has been pres
ident or first vice president of the
Bangor & Aroostook. This line in the
northern part of Maine is one of the
few in New England not controlled
by the New Haven. AS President OF
such a road Mr.. Todd would presum-
ably know much about the character
and extent of the New Ravens mo-
nopoly
Two important mergers were &C.
complished by the New Haven before
Mr.. Todd left it-with the Central
New England Railway, and, through
its Poughkeepsie Bridge connection,
with the New York Ontario & West
ern. These mergers figure in the gov
ernment's complaint.
Especial interest attached to the ap-
pearance of Mr. Todd because he is
the only witness heard so far except
Mr.. Mellen. His former connection
with the New Haven and the circum-
stances of his retirement were taken
to indicate the telling of a story sup
Elementary to that told by Mr.. Mellec,

ing of $3,S25, 147 profits arising from
the holdings for one year of the New

This note it has been established was
one of the pawns in the acquisition

An Opportunity for
Household Economy

The great advance in price of cream of tartar
which is derived from grapes-due to inability to
for and market the grape crop in the European
countries at war, can be made advantageous to
the housewives Of New England.
Housekeepers will find it more economical
and much more satisfactory to use Royal Baking
Powder, which is made from highly refined, pure
cream Of tartar First because the price of ROYAL
has not been changed and it will do perfect work;
second, because food made with Royal Baking
Powder will be finer and more paatable; and
finally. because it nsures the absence of all danger
from alum similar unwholesome products.
The oldfashioned custom of buying cream Of
tartar and mixing it with soda or using sour milk,
may be discarded with profit The high cost and
scarcity Of cream of tartar furnishes a temptation
to INSCRIPTIONS dealers to substitute an adulterated
product, which may be either lime phosphates or
alum, that will change the baking strength and
may spoil the food.
