Recollection of
Shirley Murder

Timothy Z. Hartnett some time po-
lice captain, afterward investigator
for the department Of justice Of the
State OF Maine, is following with
close attention the proceedings in the
pardon matter Of Henry Lambert the
P!scataquis county murderer. 1t was
Major Hartnett who worked up the
case against him and even though i.
was purely circumstantial in its
character the evidence was held to
be strong enough TO warrant a con-
viction. Major Hartnett was for
years commander Of the old Mont
romery Guards. one Of the best
known and most eficiert military
companies under the old regime in
this state. He was a travelling sales
man for a wholesale grocery house at
that time but later on became one Of
the deputy marshals or IS the title
now is police captains. In this posi-
tion he developed good deal Of de-
tective ability so much so that ever
since he has had one position after
another in that line of work. Ma jor
Ifartnett possesses a good deal of ma
tive shrewdness and ability to judge
huma nature and he rarely makes a
mistake. Oftentimes he has ex-
pressed an opinion in regard to a
case in which IT seemed to him that
the wrong man was being sought. 1t
rarely fails to turn out when the
thing is finally sifted down, il it ever
50. that his theory proves to be the
right one and the man he spots a the
guilty party is proven to be such.
Major Hartnett Is great reader
possesses a wonderful memory for
facts as well as for faces and he has
n wealth Of stories drawn from his
own experiences which he tells upon
occasion in dramatic manner

BELFAST
Quiet Fourth Goes on Record
Two Deaths

1t was one of the quietest Fourths
on record in Belfast with little or no
noise the night before after midnight
and no bell ringing in the morning
The celebration program was carried
out between showers and managed
to draw large crowd notWithstand-
ing the rain. The parade was UNIQUE.
although many who would have talk
en- part were prevented by the rainy
weather and the muddy street. Some
OF the floats were unique, among the
most amusing being the Chamber of
commerce outfit, which carried a
RUDE orchestra in q high cart.
Among those recognized in the or
chestra were B. II. Midget, Leslie c..
Follett and j. III. Sheldon, the others
being too much disguised, that even
their friends were unable to SPOT
them. The side door pullman" with
doughboys sitting in the doorways.
and the French inscriptions telling
now many men and how many
horses it carried, was a reminder of
the days of the war The Belfast
band led the parade and also gave a
concert in Postoffice square which
was well attended and much en-
joyed. a number Of business houses
had floats and there were some uni
que ''horribes" sandwiched in.
The pig race in the Postoffice
square amused a large crowd and
five small boys made dash and
caught the little porker. 1t was sold
and the proceeds divided among
them. The youngsters were MendeH,
Foster, Canning, Fowles and New
comb. In the sack race Canning came
in first, Smith second and Fletcher
third. Smith and Canning won the
three legged race, Fowles and
Fletcher coming in second and Men
dell and Foster third. Smith won
the 30 yard dash, Wade. second and
Knox third. Moore won the 100
yard dash, Patterson second and
Thomas third.
The races were we'll attended not
wlthstanding the threatening clouds
and never has there been better rae
ing. Every race was fought to the
finish and the crowd was enthusiast
tic. An exhibition of interest was
that Of the four-year-old mare
owned by Cooper & Gallagher. Her
name is Violette. She was sired by
Peter Bolo, he by Peter the Great,
champion of the world in his first
second, third and fourth years. Her
dam was Worthy Girl, by Axworthy
one of the greatest speed getters Of
the day. The mare has never been
raced but gives great promise.
