Hotel, late Thursday night in Bel
grade and injured him so severely
that he is at the Augusta General
Hospital in a critical condition, was
recovered Friday afternoon from the
waters of Long Pond. behind the
Lake Shore Hotel, where it was
thrown by Andrews Immediately af-
ter the alleged crime. 1t is being held
by fomer Deputy Sheriff Edwin f,
Megill until it can be turned over to
County Attorney Frank e. Southland
The sharp steel blade was found
in about eight feet of water by Mrs.
Alice Hanson, daughter of Mr.
Megill and Mrs. Ruth Crous of Rock
land, who were able to see it in the
clear water and who then enlisted
the services of a boy to dive and re-
cover it. Traces of human hair was
found upon the blade but there was
no evidence of bloodstains.
This tallies perfectly with the
i story told Friday to County Attorney
Frank E. Southland and Deputy
Sheriff Arthur G. Robinson of Gar
diner who were closeted with the
prisoner for some time. After con-
siderable work with Andrews, he adj
mitted, 1t is understood, that he had
used sickle" and that he had af-
terward thrown it into the lake be-
hind the hotel. A check-up of the
tools about the hotel did not dis
close that any sickle was missing but
it was found that the bush scythe
was missing and it is believed that
Andrews did not know the technical
difference between them.
Quarrel Over Girl
The cause of the quarrel which re-
suited in the committing of so grave
a crime was declared to be jealousy
over attentions paid to Miss Helen
Currier, a waitress at one of the
Belgrade hotels, by Schriver, the
wounded man. All three of the peo-
pie involved in the case had been
employed at Pinehurst, n. c. for the
winter and had gone to Belgrade but
