Throw Switch at Monmouth en-
June 20
tais OF Lewiston, which had been
opened at the Thursday session Of the
superior court, was resumed Friday
morning. Maltais had pleaded not
guilty to the charge of dlsplaclnS the
switch of the Maine Central Railroad
on June IS last at Monmouth with
the intent that cars OF the railroad
should be injured and resulting in
the cars being injured.
Ernest richards of Lewiston, en-
ployed by the Maine Central Railroad
as cookee, continued his testimony.
He testified that on the night of the
accident Maltais had asked him II ne
thought the men were all asleep.
When Maltais came into the car his
feet were wet and he had changed
his shoes. Witness couldn't see any
place on the main track where NAL
tais could have got his feet wet.
When the freight train struck the
work train, Maltais was outside.
After the collision Maltais had come
into the cooks car, had asked witness
if he was hurt and had thrown the
burning lamp out of the car. Wit
ness testified that Thursday outside
of the courthouse Maltais had spoken
to him about the case and had asked
him to be easy with him.
Upon cross examination by Attor-
tae-fff cd hn 10
had answered Maltais that he would
tell only the truth. Witness believed
that AIaltais had said he had also
found a spike on the track and mad
reported it to the foreman. The
morning after the accident there was
nothing peculiar about Maltais ac-
tions. In the lower court Richards
had testified that a woman had told
him she did not think the men of the
crew would get out of that place soon
for there would probably be another
wreck The crew had come to Mon
month to take care of a wreck and
they had a wreck while there. The
kew which Richards had in his pos
session would not fit the switch lock
Witness had taken Maltais place as
cook OF the crew.
Clinton r. Sprague of Portland. en-
cineer of the train which collided
with the work train, testified regard
ing the injuries to the engine in the
collision.
Joseph NIareque of Pennington,
foreman of the railroad crew of the

People who desire to enjoy one
more trip to the seashore before the
season closes are reminded that the
steamer Islander os the Augusta and
Boothbay harbor run will make the
round trip on Sunday next. Sept. IS,
and will afford a fine opportunity for
the enjoyment of the beautiful sail
down the kennebec and Sasanoa riy-
ers and about the equally beautiful
harbor of Boothbay, and also gives
several hours at the seashore. The
scenery along the entire route is
never more beautiful than at pres
ent, and as the steamer has but one
week more to run before being hauled
off for the winter people cannot af-
ford to allow this opportunity for a
