Bar Harbor, Me-, Aug. THE State
authorities seemed no nearer to TAX
ing the murderer of Mrs. Emma Turn
bull on Sunday evening than they
were the day of the murder. County
Atty. Mason Of Ellsworth was on the
scene again on Sunday, but took no
definite action, although many people
here feel that an arrest should be
made at once.
The funeral of Mrs. Turnbull was
held at 2.3O o'clock on Sunday after
noon at the little Congregational
church in Otter Creek. Before the
church service the Rev. A. NJ. Mac
Donald said a prayer in the home OF
tie dead woman, with only the imme-
date members of the family present.
Crowded into the church were nearly
every citizen of Otter Creek and at
ter the service was over they gath
cred into groups to discuss the crime
On Saturday afternoon the authori-
ties sharply questioned Guy Small.
the man who, it has been said, has
given unsatisfactory accounts of mis-
actions on the afternoon of the muir
der When interviewed by newspa-
per man on Sunday morning Small
gave the following account Of his ac-
tons on the fatal Friday afternoon.
Story Told by Small
He said that he had dinner about
~ o'clock and then went out across
the creek where he &C; pint of whis-
key. He was accompanied by a young
fellow named Lincoln Wright, rela:
tive Of the dead woman. After getting
the whiskey he and young Wright
vent down in a swamp hunting for
wild flowers. After searching while
they went back and got another pint
of whiskey. He then went home nd
Wright went with him. When he
reached his home he took his scythc.
which was in the yard. and went to
the home of Will Warren to grind it,
He stayed there some time talking He
said that before he went down to sharp

wood at his house and his saw slipped
and cut his finger badly.
When he came home from Warren

BAR HARB0R TRAGEDY STILL
UNS0LVE AND NO Definite
ACTION TAKEN TOWARD ARREST
Guy Small Sharply Questioned AS To His and Ac
tions the Afternoon of the Murder of Mrs. Turnbu

O'Clock He then came back to his house,
took the scythe back to Warren's house
and walked into the woods between the
home of the murdered woman and War
ren's looking for wild flowers. He stayed
in the woods for about Is minutes before
going back to his house and picking up
more wood for a fire. That night right
after supper he walked down the road to
his fathers house with the family wash
ing, and upon his return back learned of
the crime. He said that that afternoon
he wore the mixed pants. now IN the pos
session of the officers, cream colored
shirt, pair of shoes and blue sweater
He removed none of his clothes. When
asked why he had told so many contra
dictory stories, he said he could not help
it. He said: II am in wrong In this
neighborhood and am suspected. but let
them go ahead; my conscience is clear"
Some people who saw Small on Friday
afternoon claim that he had on pants of
a much lighter color than those now in
the possession of the officers. The house
was searched and coat and vest of the
color suggested were found.
When asked for the pants Small said
that they were worn out. His wife said
that he had taken them off three or four
days before and that she had used them
up bit by bit in a mop in the house, and
that the last bit, the waistband, was
burned up the night before.
1t is understood on very good authori-
ty that if the county officials will not
make the arrest on their own accord that
one of the relatives of the dead woman
will swear out a warrant on Monday aft
ernoon.
In connection with the murder Of Mrs.
Emma Turnbull at otter Greek on Friday
afternoon, one of the features was the
effort to trace the criminal with dog.
Ernesto G. Fabori of New York, who
has a Belgian police dog who is trained,
accompanied by his brother and Gouve-
neur Morris, was on the scene of the
crime before daY5reak on Saturday morn
ing. He took with him his police dog.
The night before had been thick and
foggy and the ground. trees and under
brush were heavy with water The dog
was taken down to the scene of the crime
and Mr.. Fabbri ordered him, speaking In
French. as the dog understands nothing
else, ito search" For over three hours
the parties working with the dog secured
the woods but were unable to find q clue.

TOM LEWIS GETS
JAIL SENTENCE ON
A LARCENY CHARGE
While Joseph Bolduc Pays Fine
and Costs on Being Found
Guilty of Assault and Battery
The Above and Seven Cases
of Intoxication Compose Mon
days Municipal Court Docket

The municipal court started in Monday
with a fairly good run Of business, the
disposal of the docket requiring both
morning and afternoon sessions. In the
morning Judge Lancaster was called
to pass upon eight cases and in the after
noon one and all Of them were disposed
Of in the usual expeditions manner.
The principal case which was heard at
the morning was that of Thomas Lewis.
who was arraigned to answer to the
charge Of larceny which was worn out
against him by John Drouin. who alleged
that on Tuesday. Aug. l, Lewis stole from
him a gold-filled watch. Lewis conducted
his own case and in answer to the usual
question by the court he replied that he
was not guilty.
The defence offered by the respondent
was that Drouin ran short Of money at
a time that he wanted liquor, and that
in order to secure the needful he gave the
watch in question to the respondent to
sell for him, which Lewis did, the time
Rousseau.
The explanation of the transaction was
not satisfactory to the court and at the
conclusion of the hearing Lewis was
found guilty and was given a sentence of
30 days in Jail. But his troubles did not
end there, for he was also arraigned on
a charge of intoxication and on being
found guilty was given a sentence OF $40
and costs or 30 days in jail. Later in
the day he was committed.
In the other six cases heard at the
morning session the charge of that OF IN
toxication and in each case the respon-
dent paid the fine imposed.
The afternoon session was devoted to
the disposal Of case In which the charge
was that Of assault and battery. Andrew
Boulier was the complainant and in his
story to the court the details as unfolded
seemed to indicate that he and another
man, namely Joseph Bolduc, had engaged
in a little mixup Monday morning while
engaged in unloading granite blocks from
a car on the railroad siding at the rear Of
the Fuller Holway building on upper Wa
ter street. NJ. E. Sawtelle appeared for
the complainant, while the respondent
had no counsel.
Boulier claimed that while working
with Bolduc the latter dropped a block
on the compliments hand and then
struck him several times. Bolducs testi-
mony was little conflicting, inasmuch as
at first he entered a plea of not guilty
and then took the stand and admitted
that he struck the complainant. but could
not say how many times. The court found
no difficulty in finding Bolduc guilty and
imposed a sentence of S. and costs or Is
days In jail. which fine was paid.

is what stand for"
In Auto Factories
The candidate late today motored to
two large automobile factories and de-
livered brief talks. He repeated his
declaration for the need for industrial
preparation for the period following
the war, when, he said, the United
States would face commercial COM
petition f1ercer than ever before.
THE workingmen Of America" he
said, ARE not asking for anything
they should not have. All that they
want is square DEAL You workmen
want to be protected from any I'M
necessary injury at your work. You
want to have wholesome conditions,
to share in what you make and the
reasonable profits that accrue to
every industry.
I'VE have all got to work together
No such thing as prosperity exists for
just one class in America unless it
exists for all. We have all got to share
alike. 1t is all altogether; all go up OF
all go down together"
In his second address to automobile
workers Mr. Hughes said:
1t does not make particle Of differ
ence what kind Of laws you have if
they are administered and enforced in
half-hearted. inefficient way. You
have got great plant here, efficient
~ managed; but tell you we want the
United States efficiently managed, and
when men are put into Office not be-
cause they are fit for the job, but mere
ly because they need the job, that is
not good American government. I did
not stand for that in the state of New
York, and if am elected President
shall ont stand for that in the United
States.
This country is entitled to have men
put in Office who are faithful; men
who don't look to the right or left, but
just give fair impartial execution of
the laws. And then want to see splen-
did policies in this country in the in
terests of trade and industry I want
to see men in Office that believe in sue
cess, that believe in prosperity.
Il tell you. my friends. you laboring-
men, and don't you forget it, that the
Republican party is the party that
stands not for a prosperity produced
by the war. but for a prosperity pro-
duced by sound American policies;
and those are what we propose to have
There is one other thought want
to leave with you, and it is this:
do not let US get this country into a
low patriotic plane so that we are con-
tent-content with the dis-esteem, with
the scott Of the world. I am an Amer
lean citizen ought to be the proudest
title in the whole world"
