If o. II. Reinhardt, who recently

guard patrol boat in the York river
Monday night after she had returned

HIGHWAY POLICE
WEAVE net ABOUT
CANADIAN BORDER

Captain William Hancock, with a
small detail showing the effects of
their tireless search in the vicinity Of
Jay and Livermore Falls for John For
tier. wanted for shooting Sheriff w.
B. Small of Franklin county and one of
his deputies, returned to Augusta late
Wednesday evening. They have
searched the vicinity Of Jay for a ra-
dius of 10 miles in all directions from
the Fortier home and are convinced
that the fugitive has made his escape
from that locality. The sheriff and his
posses cooperated with them in the
search and the police dog from Lewis
ton was also used in the search.
However, feeling that the tip that
Fortier had reached Kennebago was
from a thoroughly reliable source,
Captain Hancock has taken pains to
weave a net of State police on the
United States side of the Canadian
border. Patrolmen Jewett and Patten
were rushed to Kennebago Wednesday
as soon as the report that Fortier was
in that section was received. -Four
others We're immediately detailed to
make their way into this locality. -Four
more were then rushed to Jackman.
Patten and Jewett and the four will
take up direct pursuit while the four
who have been sent TO Jackman will
cooperate with the customs officials in
patrolling the border. The first four
will go TO Woburn and work back
Sheriff Small, Lieutenant Sidney Frost
of the State police, Raymond Wey-
mouth and Hodgman of Lewiston with
the police dog will take the trail at
the store in Kennebago where Fortier
is believed to have made his last stop.
There are about seven police officers
stationed in Franklin and Oxford
counties to preclude the possibility of
Fortier remaining in that vicinity.
At 6.45 State Patrolman Durgin was
sent direct to Wohurn to cover the
customs house on the Canadian Dor
der and to give a complete description
of Fortier in case the latter should
reach that point before the men de-
tailed from the temporary camp at
Livermore Falls could arrive. Further
action will depend upon the outcome of
the search at Kennebago.

lin.
Devereaux spoke quietly as he told
the Judge that ut was not my inten-
ton to kill that man out there; that
ought to be obvious from the way as
saulted him." During his trial Dew
ereaux testified that she shot Ferneau
in the leg to cripple him: and beat
him with his revolver butt only when
he made move to swing his lantern
on me.") Furthermore, I don't see
why anyone else should suffer for

Heinlein declared he thought It "hor-
rible to sentence me for murder when
I never saw the dead man." and Nc
Laughlin, in voice shaking with emo
ton, said he hoped his children would
learn to be good citizens because their
father was electrocuted for murder

The men were led back to the East
Cambridge Jail, where they will remain
until 10 days prior to August s, when
they will be removed to the death
house at states prison in Charles
town.
The condemned men were convicted
last November in a trial that lasted
four weeks. Exceptions to Judge Fos-
dicks ruling that all must be found
guilty of murder in the same degree,
and that in either first or second, were
overruled by the supreme court. The
state charged that they perpetrated
the holdup at the carbarn with intent
to kill or MAIN If resisted.

attorneys completed their argu.
ments and Judge Sisk delivered his
charge.
Separate verdicts must be render
ed for each defendant, Judge .Sisk
said. for murder in the first or Sec
ond degree or manslaughter. If a
verdict of manslaughter against
Deshon was returned, Toothaker
and Samburski must be found not
guilty, he ruled. Deshon admitted
the actual Staying.
Judge Sisk pointed out that Desh
on had offered evidence that the kill
ling was accidental and that If the
jury found that Deshon did not
know Comeau was an officer, that
the officer unreasonably assaulted
him and that he was in fear of his
life, the defendant had the right to
kill for his own protection"
Defense counsel pleaded for len
1ency on account of the defendants
youth, while Assistant District At
torney Callahan warned the jury
that they would not hesitate if
three hardened criminals were in the
dock.
The mothers of the three defend
ants were in the courtroom during
the closing hours of the trial and
indicated their intention of remain
ing there until a verdict was reach
ed. The courtroom was filled to ca
pacity when the jury filed out and
the corridors were thronged during
the early hours of the evening.
According to confessions to the
police the boys admitted that they
stole an automobile, robbed a store
and were on their way to commit
another burglary when Patrolman
Comeau stopped them for question
ing. In a struggle with the officer,
which Deshon re-enacted on the
witness stand. the youthful bandits
revolver was discharged.
The officer dropped MORALLY
wounded and the boys fed. During
the trial the defense sought to
bring out that the boys did not be-
lieve Comeau was an officer. as he
was in off-duty clothing at the pa
troll wagon house, and they had no
intent to kill. The prosecution main
tanned that the boys went about
armed with intent to kill if resisted.
