ARREST OF M'RAE At

Lewiston, Me, Sept. 2s.-Alexande-
McRae. aged about 81, was arrested at
$50 Tuesday morning at Rumford
Junction by posse of Lewiston and
Auburn policemen. He was wanted in
connection with the murder. Monday
night of William E. St. John, watch
man in the Edward & Walker store,
Monument square, Portland.
Chief Bowen of the Portland de.
partment with -Sergt. Geo. Dingley,
and Patrolman Qennison came to
Lewiston at 7.30 Tuesday morning, by
automobile, and left at on the re-
turn, taking McRae with them.
Up to the time the prisoner left
Lewiston. he had not been informed
of the charge which probably would
be brought against him.
After being brought to the Lewiston
police station, McRae was question
ed at length by Police Capt Muir
ply. In the course of this examination
the prisoner, who is colored, made
several conflicting statements as to
his actions of the previous afternoon
in Portland. These were considered by
both the local and Portland officers,
as being very damaging.
Chief Bowen stated Tuesday morn

Rae would probably not be given pre-
liminary hearing inside of a week.

time. I have no doubt the court will
grant it.

rounds by men bent on robbery, whom
the Waterman discovered at work.
The crime took place on the third
floor Of the store, the Waterman be-
