Sensational stories of an assault by a
tramp upon Mrs. Almira Corsson, an aged
woman living near Mt. Desert toll bridge,
started the officers of Ellsworth and Bar
Harbor looking for the tramp last week.
According to the story, the tramp entered
the house, and finding no one around ex-
cept Mrs. Corsson, who is nearly ninety
years of age, he demanded money. When
it was refused he attacked her, forced her
into a chair and then started to ransack
the house. The man wanted was traced
by Sheriff Silsby to Bluehill, where he
was arrested Friday night, and brought to
Ellsworth. He was simple minded fel-
low, who gave his name as James Conway.
He said there was no assault, that on the
contrary the woman gave him something
| to eat. Further investigation by the
officers brought no connected tale OF the
alleged assault, and Mrs. Corsson would
not or could not appear against him.
After being held at the Ellsworth Jail
| few days, and no warrant against him be-
| ing issued, Conway was released and put
ON the train for Bangor.
