appearance Of Deputy Hillman, Gar

days ago Garrity went to the boarding
house of Mr.. Crummett's in Shin
Pond and this bunch OF keys it is said,
were hid by him under the mattress
on his bed. Sheriff Bryson was in
formed of this and Saturday afternoon
the sheriff met Clarity above Shin
Pond as the sheriff was coming out
from his camps.
Sheriff Bryson stopped him and
asked him where he had been staying
and Clarity informed the sheriff me
did not think that was anybody's bus
mess. but if he had to tell he would.

keys on a long chain and on two rings
were shown. Sheriff Bryson looked
at the bunch. There were a few odd
looking keys on the string, one IL
particular held the attention Of the
sheriff This one he took from the
ring and has it in his possession. Sher-
if BrySon also took the number of the
other keys.
1t is claimed Deputy Hillman had
bunch of keys and it is thought these
might be his. Deputy Guiou went TO
Island Falls Monday to investigate
this clue, but Sheriff .Bryson said: 1t
may turn out just as all the other
clues have, but if they should prove
to belong to the missing deputy, they
will play a strong point in the case"
1t has been also told TO the sheriff
that Clarity has been drinking and
while drunk he is alleged to have
said: 'If l am arrested for the disap-
pearance of Hillman there will be six
other arrests"
Nadeau's wife visited him at the
county Jail Monday and was in the
cell for over three hours. Nadeau
seemed pleased to see her. Mrs. Ma
deau claims her husband is innocent
and that there are others who could
tell what became Of Deputy Hillman if
they would" Mrs. Nadeau has to use
crutches on account of having one Of
her limbs amputated in November.
Madam Mona has been in to see Ma
deau twice. He resents having her
visit him, yet he talks with her about
the case.
