BARRE MAN ROBBED.
James Rothnie Victim of Thugs in De-

f----- troit
James Rothnie, who lived in Barre
up to three years ago, was badly beat
en- up and robbed of his watch and
money on the night of Sept. 6 in De-
troit, Mich, as he was returning home
| from his work, according to word re-
ceived here yesterday. The three ban
dts pounded Mr.. Rothnie SO badly
that he was forced to lay off work
for II days, A clever piece of police
work resulted in the immediate cap
ture of the robbers and the recovery
of Mr.. Rothnie's valuables.
Mr.. Rothnie came to Barre about
10 years ago and worked at his trade
OF stonecutter at the Harrison Granite
Co. for about seven years. He was a
member of the Order of Scottish Clans
and the Red Men. He left Barre in
1918 to accept a position in the De
troit postofiice and has been on the
lob since. The night of the robbery,
he writes. the last he remembered was
looking at his watch as he walked
along. and found that ii was 7!55
O'Clock. He was walking through the
heart of the city and was passing AN
alley situated within one block Of the
central police station when he was
Jumped bv three men. He says now,
that he doesn't remember anything
after looking at his watch until he
found himself in the police station at
midnight. after having been taken to
the hospital and treated. The trip 10
the hosDital. he said, was a blank TO
him.
The three men evidently carried MIN
into the alley and left him there after
robbinr him, for that was where he
was found. Patrolman Adrian Beau
champ Of the Detroit police was pass
ing. of duty, when he saw the three
men dart out of the alley and run mp
the street He gave chase and earght
an three and took them to the sta
tioR. Sergt. William Hayes directed
the officer to return to the alley aud
look for possible victim, and Beau
champ found Mr. Rothnie. The am
bulance was called and the victim of
the bandits rushed to the hospital 1t
was found necessary to take fve
stitches in his lower lip. The point of
his chin was bruised and cut and was
dressed.
When Mr.. Rothnie had been treat
ed. which took nearly four hours. he
was taken TO the station and shown
the three men. As he didn't know un-
iii then what had happened he could
not identify them but did recognize
his watch. which was found on one OF
the suspects. The evidence Of Patrol
man Beauchamp. however. was consid
cred Of sufficient weight TO hold all
three in $1,000 bonds each and no
date has been set yet for the trial

TN10 GREAT Z SYSTEMS
DUTYOF VOTING Is
MOST IMPORTANT
Declared President Harding Who Tells
of Need of Stirring Up
Voters.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2s.--There
is no more important duty for the citi-
zen than this of voting on the one day
in the year when his vote means some
thing" President Harding wrote to-
day in replying TO a letter from
Charles S. Stoler of the Alexandra,
Va, Republican club in which the
president was asked for an expression
on "The Duties of a Citizen.
Citing as an example of the laXity
of voters in casting their ballots the
last election for governor of Virginia,
when only $4,000 votes were cast while
in 1920 the total with women voting
rose to but 23l 900 out of total pos
sible qualified vote of about 9Oo,0oo,
the president wrote:
quite regardless of effect on the
fortunes of particular political parties,
am impressed there is need partic-
ularly for an appeal to voters to per-
form their duty at the ballot box on
election day. If the result of full
vote in Virginia or any other state
should prove disastrous to the party
of which you or / chance to be mem
Der. we would at least know that we
had heard the voice of the people and
would be more ready to acquiesce in
their decision. There is no more impor-
tant duty for the citizen than this OF
voting on the day in the year when his
vote means something.
IF YOU can succeed in securing in
Virginia this fall the largest vote the
state ever cast, will personally feel
that you have accomplished a notable
civic advantage, quite regardless of the
political result.
N think it viii not be improper for
me to add that shall have like your
self, no fear of the political result, if
an expression can be secured

MURDERED
MAN FOR $54
A Remarkable Confession
Said to Have Been
Made
BY MAN CONCERNED
IN MAINE TRAGEDY
William CampbelPs Body
Buried By Two
Men

Dover, Me-, Sept. 29.-Details of the
alleged deliberate killing of William
Campbell, described as one OF the most
cold blooded murders in the record OF
crime in the Maine woods, were re-
vealed to-day by Piscataquis county
officials who went to northeast Carry,
where he was shot, robbed of S54 and
buried.
Allen H. Twitchell of Pittsfeld,
Me-. alleged to have admitted that he
shot Campbell but did so in self de-
tense, will be arraigned tomorrow for
a preliminary hearing on the charge OF
murder
Harry Mcdonald Of Northeast Garry,
formerly of Hampden, who led the
officers to the grave in field within
sight of sportsmen's hotel at the
head of Moosehead lake, is held as a
material witness at present though the
authorities said he might be charged
with being an accessory to the murder.
They were confident Mcdonald s
story was true and based their charge
against Twitchel largely upon his
statements. He is about 20 and re-
turned in July from the Mexican bor-
der where he served with the army.
Twitchell is 80 and Campbell, Po-
lander, with relatives in Massachu-
sets, was 81 He was employed on
railroad construction work by a paper
company.
Mcdonald, according to the officers,
told them that while he and Twitchell
were harvesting potatoes in the field a
few hundred yards from the hotel,
Twitehell suggested they rob Camp
bell, who had just come out of the
woods and had exhibited roll of bills.
He said he was afraid of Twitchell and
consented to the plan, going to the
room of the woodsman in camp near
by, Saturday night.
Campbell was aroused from sleep
by the simultaneous reports of ri
fe and revolver and asked what all the
noise was about. The shots went wild
and lodged in the wall. Then Twitchell,
is is alleged, shot him through the head
with the rife Mcdonald is said TO have
refused to take any part of the S54
though Twitchell is alleged to have
offered to divide 1t.
The body was hauled away in cart
that night, and the two men returned
to the camp Sunday morning, the Off
GERS said Mcdonald told them, and re-
moved evidences OF the orime.
