THE BURKE TRIAL
CONTINUED from Page One)

OF May II, shortly after train time.
The man was Rudolph LeClair and
he recalled that the day BARLEY and
Duval went away was the day before
the two men from Waterville arrived.
The two men referred to were Robert
Wentworth and George T. Williams
of Waterville, who testified on the
stand Wednesday that they were at
the Moose River house in May. 1919,
arriving there on the 18th.
Charles r. Mckay of Jackman, pro-
prietor of the Croker Pond camps,
testified TO Bartley's coming to the
camp on the 14th of May. 1919. He
could not say if BARLEY staid there
all night. The Moose River house
proprietor was in the habit of going
to the Croker Pond camps quite
often. Mr.. Mckay said, and that
while he charged BARLEY for his
meals he never charged him for lodg-
ings.
Harry Newton of Skowhegan. but
who lived in Jackman at the time
that BARLEY disappeared, took the
stand. Thursday morning, and testi-
fled to the conversation which took
place between him and Burke on the
morning after Burke was shot. New
ton visited Burke at his bedside. The
words of Burke which created such
stir at the first trial. were repeated

Miss Moore. the young lady who tes-
titled at the first trial that she was
in the bathroom adjoining and heard
the conversation between the two
men.
Chris. Boyle of Eustis. formerly a
clerk ut the Moose River house and
who had been employed by BARLEY
for four years recalled the time that
hartley and Mr.. Wentworth of Wa
terville went to Croker Pond on a
fishing trip. Mr.. Boyle could not re-
call the day before that when the

Thursday morning was the register
of the Croker Pond camps upon
which are seen the names of BARLEY
and of his companion, Mr.. Went
worth. under the date they are al
legged to have been there on fishing
trip.
DELAY in summoning the witnesses
from the corridor below was expert
enced again Thursday morning. Judge
Wilson emphasized the fact that the
witnesses must stay in the, court
house. Sheriff Mooers said it was
difficult to do that when the lawyers
on one side told them to go and, the
lawyers on the other side told them
what to do.

 Rear Admiral Fletcher was peremp- torily detached from command at Brest following the torpedoing of the transport Antilles on a return trip to the United States. Representations by Admiral Sims at the time that Adni- ral Fletcher was "so unsatisfactory in initiative and judgment that he should no longer be entrusted with the Brest command" will form the subject of the inquiry as ordered by MT. Daniels. Admiral Fletcher, it was learned to- day, requested at the time of his re- moval that the circumstances thereof be reviewed by a naval court, but ow- ing to the impractieability of holding such court during hostilities, the re- quest was denied, it was explained at the repartment.

Pur- kiss gave brief and interesting talk, taking for his topic. "Our Father" The speaker said that God wal always good, and He is always mindful of the needs of His children. It is well that we remember Him every day that we live. l recall the time when as a boy thought of God as kind anS good to me. and then when I grew up to be a young man I sort of forgot that God was my Father. After awhile I found Him again and ever since that day I have thought oe him as a kind parent, which makes me very happy. Our Father is intensely interested in us, even though we for get Him., He never forgets; He loves us even when we do wrong, and he tries to woo us back again to him. self After the talk the audience sang ''Nearer My God to Thee"

DRIVER IS HURT AND
 AUTO TRUCK IS WRECK

The Ford truck owned by Schwartz Bros. and driven by David Blum was struck and practically demolished on Tuesday morning on North Main street near the garage of w. F. Bogue when an extra trolley for Greeneville crashed into 1t. Mir. Blum claims that he had turned into the garage and was waiting for the garage doors to be opened when the trolley car going at an excessive rate of speed crashed in to his machine before he could get it out of the way. The force of the impact threw the machine practically across the street overturning it. MT. Blum was thrown out receiving sever al cuts and bruises. The machine was practically wrecked. the chassis being twisted, the top and body being demolished, tires torn from the wheels and other damage being done. Mr. Blum claims that the car which struck the machine was going at such a rate that it would not be able to stop for at least 100 feet after it struck the automobile.
 The car was in charge of Motorrnan Whittemorc and Conductor McGroa rty 1, It is the claim of the crew that Mir Whittemore saw the truck in front of him and slowed down, the truck turu- 1 ing from the car tracks into the ga rage apparently to let the car pass. When the car was within a short distance of the automobile it is claim ed that the truck turned back into the car tracks.
 A member of the firm of Schwartz Bros. states that their driver did not see any car approaching when he turned into the garage and further states that witnesses say that the car , had not reached the Marguerite cor per

SNOW COSTING STATE MUCH MONEY

work is finished, and that figure does not include an estimate for possible further storms.
 Ever since Feb. 5, when the blizzard. descended upon the state, 800 men and more than 100 trucks, snow blows and tractors have doggedly fought drift after drift, sometimes in the face or another snowfall and at other times against the odds of terrific winds that picked up the snow and carried it back into the passageway made by une blows. Saturday night as the 14th snowfall of the month began the de- partment reported that most of the state roads were impossible on ac- count of the havoc that the wind had played.
 Over 800 miles of state road have been attacked by the highway depart fttent in all parts of the state at a cost of about $100 mile. So great has been the strain that dozens of the heavy army trucks donated to the state by the war department have broken down under the pressure, and Commissioner Bennett said that the men were so exhausted after their continuous. battle with the drifts in freezing weather that another consid- erable fall would completely tie up the trunk line system for days.
 Commissioner Bennett said the state has had much the same experience as many of the cities in getting enough men to clear the roads of snow It has been the worst month of it's kind in the history of the department, he said.
