Somerset Municipal Court was held
in Skowhegan Monday, the greater

ings. Judge Brazzell presided and

WARNS WEALTHY
AS TO SERVANTS


New York. Sept. 11.-The murder of
Mrs, Elizabeth Nichols last Wednesday
night by three robbers who seduced an
unfaithful house servant into admitting
them to her home in the millionaire
residence district has been taken by
Inspector Faurot OF the New York de-
tective force as a text for a warning 10
the wealthy against lack of care in
selectin- their household retainers.
The public has no idea, said the
inspector in a statement published to-
day "of the extreme lack OF care that
is exercised by the wealthy in the SCI
lection Of their help, which daily comes
into contact with iewelrv worth for
tunes. They never search into the
character of their prospective ser
wants. and at times engage them with
ont recommendation, except that sup
piled by an employment agency"
The police today virtually admitted
that they had lost the trail of the three
men wanted for the Nichols crime.
They fear the criminals have escaped
from the city.
