Jackman, Me-. Nov. 2s-Jolu A
Burke, the former deputy sheriff, was
bound over without bail to the grand
jury at the conclusion today Of a
hearing in the Western Somerset
municipal court on the charge that
he murdered Nelson W BARLEY, pro-
prietnr of the Moose River house here
ON the night Of Oct L.
Judge H. H. Brazzell declined TO
continue the case until Dec SO as to
receive the report Of DR. Frank N
Whittier of Bowdoin college ON the
result Of the analysis of the contents
of Bartiey's stomach, as requested
by Burkes counsel. It is claimed
that this report would result in the
exoneration of Burke
Burke was to Re taken back to
the county all at Skowhegan by the
officers this afternoon TO await the
action of the grand jury at the Jan
uary term of the supreme court.
The decision that rhe State had
shown probable cause for holding
Burke, was reached at the conclu-
sion Of tnt closing arguments by W.
r. Pattangau for the prisoner and
County Attorney Edward F. Merrill.
Attorney Partanga1 argued thar
the State had failed TO submit d case
strong enough On the question OF
probable cause to warrant holding
Burke. He also argued that there
was a lack Of motive. While Rartley
was shot with a 32-calibre revolver,
there was no evidence, he said. that
kind and that no evidence had been
submitted to show that the two men
had had any trouble up to the date
of the murder.
After reviewing the events Of the
night of the shooting, Mr.. Pattangau
commended that Burke did not have

on the afternoon Of the day the latter
was shot. making an engagement for
that evening. and that they left the
hotel together
He argued after reviewing the tes-
timony of witnesses on the point
that Burke had sufficient time TO
commit the deed within the limit set
by the witnesses. He said that when
the circumstances pointing To Burkes
guilt are unexplained and unrebuted
and when the respondent lives within

Cantract Let for New Hotel.

Edgefeld's greatest need, a mod
ern hotel of adequate size, is soon to
be supplied. The directors Of the
Dixie Highway Hotel Company let
the contract for the erection of a
thirty-room, three-story hotel to the
Schroder-Lewis Company of Angus
ia, Monday. The building will be com
pleted by August 1 next and the
company has guarantee that it will
not cost more than S69,800. If it is
built for less than that sum, the COM
pany will get the benefit of the de-
creased cost. The building will have
three modern stores, lobby, Office,
sample rooms, barber shop, pool
room, dining room, etc., on the
ground floor and the thirty bed
rooms will be provided for in the two
stories above. The contractors will
begin work at once and press it Wig
orously until the building is complet-
ed, which will probably be early next
summer. The letting of the contract
for this hotel is the most progressive
step, the greatest forward stride,
that Edgefeld has taken in many,
very many, years, and the erection
of commodious modern hotel will
mean more to the material develop.
ment of Edgefeld than the average
citizen realizes.
