when asked late Thursday about the
calling out OF the State Guard, said
that up to that time. he had not
been notified to take any action.
GIRLS Revolver Missing
A gun has entered the case which
before Thursday had not been men
toned. Some of the close friends of
Miss Hayward say that she owned
pearl-handled revolver of 20 calibre
which she kept in the cottage. Col.
Hayward, the uncle of the woman, said
he knew she owned a revolver but he
did not know where it was located.
A week ago last Sunday man was
seen leaving the Hayward cottage or
leaving the pathway beside the cottage.
He was observed by Winthrop man
who was walking up the car track
towards the cottage. AS the Winthrop
man came along the man ahead of him,
coming out from the direction of the
cottage, kept his back to him, whereas
he would have been sideways If he
had walked along naturally. The Win
throp man then noticed that the
stranger deliberately turned and
walked almost sideways out and onto
the car track, in an evident desire to
not show his face.
Town Crowded with Strangers
Due to the influx of newspaper men,
friends and relatives of those con-
cerned and interested in the case, the
Winthrop Hotel is busy place. The
telephone office is also feeling the re-
suits of the floating population and the
streets, especially the main street, are
hives of activity with groups of folks
talking over the case. Each group ap-
pears to have one or more spokesman
and his voiced opinion brings forth
further opinions.
Pictures and descriptions are being
circulated at this time of Archie j.
LItalien, alias Joseph DUDE, wanted
in connection with the finding of the
body of Cheney, a woodsman, under a
bridge near Lewiston several months
ago. Lambert, as the suspect is
sometimes called, is described as be-
ing 20 years old, feet ga inches
tall. weight 140 pounds, slim, light
brown hair, dark brown eyes, sallow
complexion. He has been engaged in
hotel work.
Mediums Word Followed
While Captain Sanborn and a num-
Der of his police were in Portland fol-
lowing down clues received late today
and while County Frank Z. Southland
was in conference with Detective
James B. Wood of Boston, also endeav-
oring to place some tangible value
upon theories and the result of the
days endeavors, band of Winthrop
people, guided, urged on by the words
of medium" in whom a great deal
of interest has been displayed in the
past, were patroling the crossroads be-
tween Leeds Junction and Lewiston
Six carloads of Winthrop men. each
guided on willing to grasp at any hope
which was held out, started out short
ly after dark this evening and took
their places watching those cross
highways The words of the medium"
had been that it was best to watch
those roads and that some time before
morning man and a woman in an au-
tomobile would be found there. The
watch, IN the drizzling rain by times
and the chilling night winds, was car
ried far into the night. the watchers
coming back into town for hot coffee
and food from time to time.
Suspicious Party in Portland
Added to the list of clues which
have already been eagerly snatched up
and followed, thus far to futile end,
was one that a woman was seen just
outside of Portland in company with
two men and that she appeared to be
in highly nervous state. She had
gold tooth prominently showing. The
men In the car asked passerby the
nearest way to reach the New Hamp-
shire border line. After the party had
passed on, the man who had been
queried notified the police. The car
was a Buick sedan.
A canoe was reported to have been
seen landing at the lower end of the
lake about o'clock Thursday morn
ing. A woman living in a nearby
house reported seeing the craft land
there but could give no definite infor-
nation in regard to it. 1t was learned
later that two paddles had been taken
from a canoe in the lake and examined
at the Lewiston police station. 1t was
taken there by Capt. ]. A. Picard of
the Lewiston police department.
Airmen May Peer Into Lake
In connection with the theory that
the missing woman may have found a
watery grave. the lake may be search
ed by eagle-eyed men peering down
from low-fying airplanes. 1t is an
established fact that from an airplane
tom of very deep inland waters. There
are three or more airplanes within a
radium of so miles of the lake. They
may be pressed into service.
Guard Turnout Unlikely
! In order that the State Guard be
called out. Adj. Gen. Hanson said to-
FAY that it would have to come from
the governor. a. judge of the supreme
court or the county sheriff. The ex-
pense of calling out the State Guard
is borne by the county. The last time
this organization was called out in
this county was a few years ago when
number of criminal insane made good
their escape from the Maine State
Hospital. At that time the cost to the
county was around $500.
Many Rumors Adoat
With rumors floating everywhere,
one may take any of them and build
upon it a story fit to suit the most
conservative or the widest fancy. The
