WAITING FOR HORNE
IN FREDERICTON. n. B.

Fredericton. y. B.. May co.-No
word has been received here as yet
by the attorney generals depart
ment of New Brunswick as to when
Werner Horne. the alleged German
government agent. charged with dy-
namiting the International bridge on
tie main line of the Canadian Pa
cihc Railway. between Nanceboro,
Me. and McAcam Junction. n. B..
will arrive in Fredericton to stand
his trial.
Sheriff John B. Hawthorne of
York county is still waiting at Nc
Adam Junction for the American Of
ficerS to arrive at the International
boundary with Horne. The officers
Will turn over their prisoner at the
very site Of his crime. 1t is generally
believed Horne will be brought via
Boston from an internment camp.
where he has been held since he
completed his prison term at At
lanta, Ga
So far as can be learned Horne's
extradition is the result of negotia-
tons which have been carried on by
the Dominion department Of justice
at Ottawa with the United States
government. practically ever since
the attempt was made to blow up
the so-called Nanceboro bridge, in
February. 1915. Inasmuch as the por-
ton of the bridge which was dam
aged by the explosion was located
in Canadian territory, Canadian au-
thorities declared the major crime
occurred in Canada and that. there
fore. Horne should be tried in Ca
madam courts.
Fredericton. as the shire town Of
York county. in which county the
bridge is located. thus becomes the
place where he must be tried. 1t was
at first believed that action against
Horne was being taken under the
Defense Of the Realm act or some
other wartime measure, but DR.. +.
Carleton Allen, Reputy attorney gen.
eral. declared today the warrant
which calls for Eorne's arrest and
which Sheriff Hawthorne is holding
was issued under Section so COY o.
the Canadian criminal code.
Horne will appear. soon after he
arrives. before Police MAGISTRATE
Walter Limerick of this city. 1t is
not believed Horne's case will be
ready for the adjourned session OF
the supreme court. whicl opens here
next Thursday. The next court when
the case could be heard would he in
"tly, when York county court will
neet with Judge Wilson presiding.

service was being installed for a
restaurant on Front street in Bath.
and the pipe had been laid to the
brick wall of the building and capped.
Mr.. Mcleod was attempting to con-
meet the new service pipe with d
piece of gas pipe about IS inches
long. with a valve in one end, which
he held in his hand. He reached
through an opening in the brick wall,
removed the cap from the service
pipe and attempted. with the as
sistance Of another workman, to
screw the shor, piece of pipe into the
service pipe. He did not close the
valve in the short piece of pipe as he
ought to have done. and he was over
come by the escaping gas. before the
connection could be made. He was
Immediately removed to the door,
but all efforts to revive him failed.
and he died in about Is minutes after

Death Of Edward N. Merrill

Death Of Edward N. Merrill
The decision in the case of the
death of Hon. Edward y. Merrill of
Skowhegan,. who on May 9 was killed
on the Maine Central railroad at
Skowhegan. says:
On May 8. 1919. at 49, A. NJ.
Hon. Edward y. Merrill of Skowhe-
gan was run over and killed near
Skowhegan Station. by Maine Gen.
trail extra freight No. SIS.
This freight train at the time was
going back and forth over and near
the grade crossing at Russell Street.
SO called, near the railroad station in
Skowhegan Village. in the process of
making up the train. A short time
before this. Mr.. Merrill had been
seen approaching this crossing. and
when last seen alive. he was stand
ing upon the lower step at the front
end of the buggy or caboose car.
The train was moving at the rate Of
about four miles an hour and ap-
parently Mr. Merrill attempted to get
off the moving car at the end of the
station platform. He either fell or
was dragged under the car and one
Of the car wheels passed over his
body The train was stopped almost
instantly and Mr.. Merrill was re-
moved from beneath the car, but he
lived only a few minutes after he
was picked up.
NO one saw Mr.. Merrill get on to
the freight buggy. and no explana-
ton can be given as to the reason
why he was in this place of danger.
or why he attempted to alight from
the moving train.
This appears to be one of those
unfortunate accidents for which it is
impossible to account
