Two sisters, have died In a mentally unbalanced condition, another Is reported to have, twice been an inmate of an asylum. His father rears ago was considered "queer" and hardly accountable for the many strange deeds he did. The only explicable reason neighbors can give for Warren Widrig's many cruel- ties, his confessions of acts which it is claimed he "never committed, is that the'man is, beyond all question, mad. As will be seen by an interview which follows that a TIMES representative had with Dr.

Ashley of Machias, Widrig's family were satisfied weeks ago that he: was insane. Two: members tried to set the machinery of the law in motion in order that he might toe locked up.

east bound, came along. I stepped out on the depot platform and noticed a man entering the swamp which borders the line of both systems of paid little at-. tention to him as I supposed he was a tramp. It is no uncommon thing to see halt a dozen or tnose ieuows nangmg about here at a time. Instead of coming out boldly as tramps are apt to, this man entered the edge of the swamp and was soon lost to view.

"He was observed by somi boys to go into the underbrush. They began throwing stones In the direction of where he disappeared.

The lower part of his face was smooth shaven but on his upper lip he wore a mustache. I bad read that, Widrig was beardless and this discrepancy caused a doubt to arise in rar mind as to whether or not the man was in reality Widrig.

During this time I had sent word to Constable C. B. Bherman wno lives nearby. He responded promptly. I told him my suspicions and he walked up to where the stranger stood.

He asked him hia fMmi 1.1 i "name. Tie man answered, What is your other name, said Sherman, replied the man. I knew then that my lntutiona were correct. The Sprlngville murderer stood before us. ACTED AS THOUGH DAZED "He made no effort to esrar and acted as hough dazed.
