EXPECT INSANITY
PLEAFR0M WARD

Houlton, April 15.-Emery Ward, the
young Limestone man who is in the
county Jail here, bound over to await
possible action by the Aroostook coun.
ty grand jury as result Of the Shoot
ing at Fort Fairfield last week when
Policeman Graves received a ball over
his heart which lodged in his hip, is
said to be greatly cheered over the
news that physicians now believe
Graves will recover and that an eff
fort will soon be made to extract the
bullet.
1t is believed that, should young
Ward be indicted, plea, of insanity
will be set up in his defence. 1t IS
claimed that this contention will be
borne out by his having exploded 80
sticks of dynamite in a field at Lime
stone last Wednesday night and by
another act of his prior to the shoot
ing. Ward is good looking and has
been a well hammered young man since
his arrival at the Jail here.
