TRY EVANGELIST
FOR WIFE'S DEATH

SACO, Me-, Jan. 2s.-In the opera
house, with the ceiling a maze OF
dancing maidens and sportive cherubs
and with a judges bench erected in
the footlights, Rev. Henry H. Hail.
evangelist, went on trial today, charg-
ed with killing his wife, Mrs. Min
ME o. Stevens Hall. The woman was
found mortally injured on June II
last at the bottom of a creek just
south of Wells depot.
Halls story that his wife was
standing with him on the railroad
trestle crossing Little River, tainted
and fell headlong into the creek Is
feet below was accepted by a ma
jority of the town people. Later on
investigation was started, which
finally led to his arrest.
The State alleges that the motive
Of the. crime was the preachers love
for other women.
Daughter TO Testify.
Halls young daughter. Frances, it
is understood, Will be one of the chief
witnesses against her father.
One of the disappointments of the
prosecution came today in the news
that DR.. Lawrence h. Willard, who
attended Mrs. Hall before she died in
a hospital here, will not be permitted
by the War Department to come here
to testify. DR.. Willard Is now in the
medical reserve corps and is station
ed in Texas.
DR.. Willard reported that the preach
eF's wife muttered Rest, rest" Just
before she died. The significance at
tached to this statement is that
Rest" is the name of the Wells de-
pot girl known as Katie" Gerow.
who with her sister, Grace, the State
has said 1t will claim, had accepted
attentions from the accused evange-
list. The prosecution has stated that
the elder of the girls. Grace. to whom
Hall is alleged to have. transferred
his affections from the younger, be-
longs to a secret religious cult head
ed by the preacher.
VIII Prove Innocence.
"The day of deliverance is come"
were the words Hall said as he was
taken from the Jail at Alfred to the
Saco Jail to prepare for his trial.
MY hour is here, the hour In which
1 shall prove my innocence of this
thing TO the whole world"
There are I2j witnesses. As the
Saco court house was too small TO
accommodate so many people. the
opera house was chosen.
Today was given over to selection
Of a jury.

VILLA AND HIS STAFF
DANCE WITH SENORITAS

JAUREZ, Mex, April 7.-Francisco
Villa was the unbidden guest at a
Mexican dance held at Rancho San
Diego, south of the border, during his
recent foray into the border country.
The band was playing a typical Next
can waltz, the rancheros and their
senioritas were swaying in time to the
music. There was a clatter of silver
spurs as a high matted figure doomed
in the doorway. Recognizing the much
feared "Pancho," the dancers fled
from the room. They were ordered
back by Villa, who joined in the dane
ing, with his staff, and continued en-
joying the pastime until breakfast.
Then he and his Golden Ones" rode
away without harming anyone.

MEXICAN BANDS PLAY
BETTER THAN AMERICAN

JUAREZ, Mexico, April Mexican
military bands are superior to Ameri.
can army bands both in ability to keep
marching time and to play military
and classical music with expression,
said Colonel Selah R. H. Tompkins at
a dinner given by General Jesus Augs-
tin Castro in honor of General James
J. Hornbrook and Colonel Tompkins OF
the United States army, on board his
private train here. A military band
of seventy pieces sat in the sun beside
the generals private car and played
selections from grand operas, military
marches and American airs. The band
was augmented by drum and trum-
pet band of twenty members, who
played the bugle and drum calls and
marches of the Mexican army while
the band played the airs. Colonel
Tompkins was especially enthusiastic
over the way the trumpeters sounded
their fourishes to the colors, the per
feet time of the drum section and the
swing of the music, which made it per-
feet for marching, he said.
IF your men can fight like your
band can play they are good soldiers"
Colonel Tompkins said.
