New Oklrans, Nov. 4. 1872.
In accordance with the anticipation of the people
in general, the election had passed off in the most
orderly manner to-day, notwithstanding the
presence of United States troops at various
points In the State whr>re it was al
leged there would be disturbances. As
nsnal there was a great deal or hair
smothered indignation In reference to these visit
ors, and the so-called "outrage" of neuding the sol
diers at this time, without any apparent necessity
existing for the measure, caused some criticism by
no means flattering to Uncle Sam. A very heavy
vote has been polled
The liberals have carried this city by a consider
able majority, estimated at from seven to eight
thousand. Kellogg, the republican candidate for
Governor, runs a little ahead of his ticket,
but the Indications are that the liberals
have swept the State by a handsome majority,
and that John P. McEvery and Davidson B.
Penn, the liberal candidates (or Governor and
Lientenaut Governor, are accordingly elected over
the heads of their opponents. Owing to the in
creased vote and the complications or ballots in
consequence of the recent political ?meute in this
State, there will be considerable delay In the
counting or the vote, which will prevent my
? forwarding any full returns to night. Lionel A.
Sheldon Is probably re-elected to Congress lrom
the Second district.
Hundreds of telegrams have passed between the
leading politicians of this city and those of New
lork to-day, anc1 numerous bulletins have been
forwarded at the request of the Stato Republican
Committee, whose headquarters are in your city.
Greeley Supposed to Have Carried the

the First District.
New Orleans, Nov. 4? MM night.
The ballot boxes have all been carried to the
State House, where the counting is now going on
in a slow and tedious manner. It will take twenty
four hours to count the vote entire. The latest and
most careful estimates show that the liberal ticket
has swept the city by about eleven thousand ma
jority. Advices from the parishes exhibit a corres
ponding liberal gain throughout the State.
Greeley's majority will probably reach 15,000 or
18,000 In the State. Advices so far received
Indicate a much heavier negro vote in his
iavor than was anticipated. The liberals elect
the entire State and parish ticket, and gain
one Congressman in the placc of J. Ilail Sypher,
of the First district. Several districts have not
yet been heard from officially. Beauregard has
been beaten for City Administrator of Improve
ments by Burke, liberal.
A regiment of United States troops was marched
through the streets of this city this morning, and
excited much indignation. Tne election, as before
stated, was one of the most orderly oa record,
there being bnt few or no arrests.

MORE TROUBLE ON WA.RD'3 ISLAND.
Rnignatioa of the Medical Staff and
N times Yesterday.
The demoralisation for some time past existing
among the medical stair, nurses and attendants
connected with the Lunatic Asylum on - Ward's
island reached its culmination yesterday in the
resignation of nearlv all the physicians and other
attaches of the institution.
The alleged cause is the action of Dr. Echeverrla,
the medical director, who Instigated the recent
Investigations into the management of the Insti
tutions on the island.
This action on t he part of I)r. Echeverrla led him
to cause the arrest late on Saturday night of an
attendant named Thomas (ialvin. Galvin on Sat
urday was a witness at the inquest in the case
of Lewis 0. Samuc's, a patient whose death was al
leged to have been caused by the Ill-treatment
of another nurs*, named James McDonnell. At the
close of the investigation Qaivin, It is alleged, got
gloriously drunk, aud at a late hour on Saturday
night returned to the asylum and gave a lellow
nurse, named Edward Robason, a severe beating
on account of aa old grudge. Dr. Echeverrla was
informed or the affray, and caused Calvin's arrest.
The prisoner was yesterday arraigned before Jus
tice McQunde. at the Harlem Police Court, 011 a
complaint preferred bv Dr. Echeverrla. The suf
ferer from the assault, Robason, was not present.
Dr. James 1). Lafferty, one of the medical stafl. tes
tified that he had attended Robason, and that his
injuries were very slight aud did not. prevent his
appearance at Court. An officer was despatched to
the island to verify Dr. Lafftrty's testimony. He
returned with a note irom Robason stating that he
had no desire to press the comnlatnt.
Judge McQuude, though believing the assault to
be trivial ana the complaint frivolous concluded to
take no part In the quarrel, and therefore held Ual
vin in the sum of $1,000 bail to answer. The pris
oner promptly furnished sureties for the amount
and was released.
THE METHODIST PREACHERS.
Methodism Past and Present? Father
Borlim'a Recollection*? Progress of
Methodism Among the Scandinavians.
Yesterday was devotional day with the Method*
1st preachers, hence the attendance was com
paratively small until toward the close. Among
the ??experiences" related was that of the vener
able Father Boehm, for a time the travelling com
panion of Bishop Aabury, the first bishop of the
Mothodlst Church in America. Father uoehm is
now nearly ninety-eight years of age, and he can
remember, he sa.vs, as iar back as ninety years.
He has been more than seventy years In the itiner
ancy and he thanked God ior such a system of
ministerial labor. The devil, he said, is an Itin
erant, for we are told that he gootli up and down
and wa'keth to and fro in the earili. And God's
operations and the operations of the Church must
be carried oa in the world by means of i inerants.
The venerable man remembers also

a little room In a house In Philadelphia in 1803. He
had seen the itinerancy and the publishing Inter

what they now are, and prayed God to make them
a thousand fold greater la the time (0 cojnc than

one of his circuit stations, the Protestants have
declined from thirty -one lamllles a lew years ago
to four families now. The rest have gone to the
Church of Rome, because the Kstabiished Church
had ueglectcd them, aud the Methodists have only
lately gone among them. Religion Is now rising
there.

Bethel ship on iaith for $1,500, and then another
for $1,100. He then built a church, costing $5,000,
and still another costing f'W.ooo, und now is look
ing around to build another. The Lord has so
greatly revived His work among the Scandinavians
here that these churches cannot accommodate
them. But from this city, as a nucleus, missions
have been established in the Northwest and also in
Sweden and Norway, where hundreds have been
added to the Church. And all this in a quarter of a
century and In answer to believing prayer. Rev.
John Parker, Mr. Wolf and others also spoke.

Sad Story or New England Crime ? The
Whole Community Arowed.
Northwood, N. H.,. Nor. 3, 1872.
Karcly, If ever, has there been u crime so revolt
lag and sickening in all its details as the oue which
has oeeu so recently committed iu this vicinity,
and a brief account of which was telegraphed to
the Herald yesterday. All other horrors seem to
dwindle into lnslgnlflcance compared with tliia in
human outrage aud murder of Little Georgie Lov
ering by Franklin B. Evans, her amorous old uncle
ol sixty-live years. It seems from what has already
transpired that for a year or more the old wretch
has been
LAYINU HIS PLANS
for the rum, !f not lor the murder, ol hit victim,
and it lurther appears, aj is usual in suob cases,
thai the crime of murder was only committed to
prevent the discovery of a hardly less heinous
oilence. Evans had always pretended to think a
great deal of Georgie. In return she manifested
no foudness for him, although she usually
obeyed his ordinary requests, aud naturally
looked up to hint somewhat on account of his
age aud relationship. It is stated that he once
made Improper advances to tho young girl, who
Indignantly repelled them, and acquainted her
mother with tho circumstances. At that tlmo lie
apparently turned over a new loaf, aud treated
his niece with much consideration. The sequel
proves that he then commenced to lay his plana for
the ruin ol the girl. Ills first move was to set
snares for birds in the woods above mentioned.
He afterwards talked considerably about his
traps, and explained how nicely he caught the
handsome blrdB. This naturally awakened the
girl's curiosity, and she asked that she might go
with liim and see them. At first he refused to
take her with him, but, alter having greatly
wrought up her eagerness to see them, lie finally
took her with him one day to tho woods. She
enjoyed the trip and went a number of times
afterward. At length she commenced to tire of
going there, aud Evans then matured the plan for
his fiendish work. One week ago last Thursday
evening, the night before tho day of the murder,
Evans told Georgie that he was golug away to work
the next morning, and that she must look alter
the snare.?. She hesitated about complying with
his request; but upon his urging sho consented to
it, but said that she was tired of going to them.
TIJK DAY OF T11K MURDER.
The next day (Friday) was one of tho loveliest of
the Fall. Evans appeared as usual when he took
his breakfast and then Immediately went out, say
ing that he was going to his day's work. Georgie
was up bright aud oarly. Alter her meal she as
sisted in domestic duties. It was then nine
o'clock, and sho put on lior hat and shawl
to go and look alter tho snares. Her grand
mother had noticed that she looked unusually sober
tbat morulqg, and made a remark to that effect as
she was leaving the room. The girl then observed
that she had promised her uncle to look aiter the
Bnares, but that she should not do it again, for the
woods were rough and lonely to her. Georgie then
kissed Mrs. Day affectionately, and, tripping across
the road, soon disappeared among t:te rocks in the
pasture. No person except her murderer is sup-,
posed to liave seen her alive after that tnuo.
EVANS' WliFURABOVTIJ,
It Is proved that Evans did noi go away to any
place to work that, morning. Soon alter Georgia left
he was seen on u hill about a mile distant toward
tlio village, nnd whicli commanded a view
ol the house and pasture. lie probably
went tliero directly after leaving Mr. Day's
in tho morning, and concealed himself in
order to observe when the girl left lior home. At
hair-past nine, which it will be borne iniuiud was hair
an hour arter the girl went out, and which would
have given her tlmo to have reached the woods,
Evans was seen to come down the hill, cross the
road and pasture, and go into the same woods
where the girl had gone.
ALARM AT MEORfllR'9 ABSENCE.
Previously, when the girl went to Iook at snares,
she was usually absent from half to three-quarters
of an hour. At ten o'clock on the day of the mur
der Mrs. Lovering wanted her to go on in errand
to the village, and as had then been iropa homo
an hour Rho looked for Vlixlftlialv
I & Sor any harm hifo be
I Sf? her. Soon afterward she asked Mr. Day
1 m "9 'nto u,c Pa8turo and call
Georgia- lie started at once, taxing the path to
the woods which his granddaughter was accus
tomed to follow. When about hair way to the forest
he called her name, but there was no response.
His voice being somewhat feeble he surmised that
she did not hear him. Then he resumed his walk,
calling out at intervals for the absent one, bnt there
was no reply. Keeplug the way, heat last got lairly
within the woods. Then he relt very sure tnat he
should discover the missing one, and so he called
her name quite loudly thrice, and in vain he
awaited an answer. Then he thought that Georgie
had probably heard him find hidden behind some
of the trees, so that she might suddenly come out
aud give him a playful surprise. But his was a sad
delusion, for us near as can be ascertained, Evans
had then consummated his terrible crime and was
dragging the lifeless body of his victim through the
swamp to the secret hiding place. Mr. Day then
returned, hoping to learn that Georgie had gone
home by some other path, and would be awaiting
him.
NEIGHBORS ASSIST IN THE SEARCH.
When Mr. Day arrived. home Mrs. Lovering was
somewhat alarmed, for she, too, had seen nothing
of tho girl. Then Mr. Day and the mother returned
to the wood, and soon Mrs. Loverlmr found on the
ground the apron of her daughter. This aroused
suspicion, and, an alarm being given, the immedi
ate neighbors Joined in a more thorough search.
Early lu the afternoon James Pender, in crossing
a brush fence about half a mile from the entrance,
found
A BROKEN COMB
that was at once recognized us belonging to tho
absent girl. There was some hair in the comb,
and not far distant a strong string was found.
This discovery struck the company with horror,
for then there were indeed evidences that the
{flrl had been foully dealt with. Word was
nstantly Bent to the viilnge that Georgie
Lovering was missing, and there were fears that
she had been murdered. If a bolt had dropped
from the clear sky above the citizens could not
have been more amazed. A chord of sympathy was
struck In every heart, and more than a bnndrcd
persous went at once to assist in the work. Soon,
near the spot where the apron was found, there
were discovered plain evidences of a struggle. The
earth was stirred up aud leaves were misplaced.
Further along there wore large and small tracks, as
though ono person had drugged another along.
The conviction was now general that
THE OIRI. HAD BEEN MURDERED.
After Evans went into the woods in the forenoon
he was not seen again until noon, when he stopped
at E. C. Dow's, some two miles from where the body
of the girl was subsequently found. He remained
a few moments at Mr. Dow's, and Inquired the time
of day. He then went a mile lurther to
Kufua Roberts', t*it mado no particular
errand there. Then he started toward
home by the way of tho "Narrows" village,
calling at Mr. Trlckey's store, where ho purchaser'
some pork and butter. Next he stopped at Mr.
Witham's. From there he went home through
some woods. None of tho people with whom he
conversed noticed anything uuusual in his appear
ance. On Friday evening Mr. John G. Mead, a mer
chant at the village, who usually transacted Mrs.
Lovering's pension business, went to the house and
had a conversation with Evans, and questioned bim
concerning the missing girl.
HE EMPHATICALLY ASSERTED nifi INNOCENCE,
ai.d did not show the least trace of any anxiety.
Mr. Mead was not convinced of the man's Innocence,
and he took the precaution to have hluj secretly
guarded until further action was taken. During
Saturday he made no attempt at escape. In the
meantime a warraut was Issued charging Evaas
wiih wilful murder. This was given Into the
hands of Sheriff Henry A. Drew, or Strafford, who
went to Mr. Day's on Saturday evening. Before
serving tho paper he talked with Evans regarding
the missing girl, and Evans denied any knowledge of
her whereabouts, and said that he was as Innocent
as an angel in heaven. This did not deter the offi
cer from arresting Mm. Evans made no resistance,
ami was taken to the Sheriff's house In Strafford.
Subsequently he was arraigned beforo Justice Ira
B. Hoitt and bound over to the Supreme Judicial
Gourt While being taken the second time to
Sheriff Drew's house Evans conversed freely about
the absorbing theme. no maintained tbat the girl
was aiivu. Mkud why no aiiouiu &iuic U?r, a utile
innocent girl, whom ?? thonghl a great
deal of. Although he apn?Jre? ln "ne spirits,
yet he begged the officer qni16 earnestly for
? . ' HOM* STKYOININe. ..
Before that, while at- the hotel at nBeri he pri
vately whispered to the landlord's datMu,tor 10 put
some poison ln hi* tea.
THE SEAHCtl CONTINUES.
Although no further evidences were fe?tl(f, yet
the search was vigorously continued. The droach
ing storm that came on deterred no one. (>a sun
day the number of persons engaged was estimated
at 260. Home three-quarters of a mile from whtere
the path commences in the woods eiiere is a most
dismal swamp, through which brave men went
time and again, although they often rank to their
knees in the black mud. On Tuesday night the
search was abandoned for a time, ior reasons
which will appear.
EVANS DECEIVES TIIE OFFICERS'
On Tuesday afternoon the Sheriff told E?ms that
If the girl was alive and he would tell where she
was, no harm should be done him by the Se
lectmen or anybody else. Evans then satd that
the girl was alive. He stated that he agreed wjth
h man to help get her away, fie had met the man
some days before near Captain Bussill's, in Straf
lord, and had promised to take her
through the woods to a point where the
stranger would be waitng, between the
hours of nine and eleven on Friday. The
mau's name was Webster, of Kingston. Kvans
said he took the girl there as he had promised, ami
had previously given her $11 to buv some clothes
with. The man was on hand and had a valine
with more clothing, and the girl went into the
woods and changed her suit and the man drove
away with her. Evans told his story so plausibly
that the officer thought it was best to try and
! prove it. Tho cltlzons had some confidence ln
Evans, at least enough to suspend lor the time
: their search. The next morning Officer Drew
took Evans and went to Kingston and
made thorough search for the tuan
Webster, but no such character could be
found. Thou Evans tliought possibly the man
might live in Kensington. On the following day
they went to> Kensington, but with no better sue
| cess. As the next subtenuge Kvans concluded that
I it might hive been Candla alter all. At this point
Mr. Drew's confidence ln this trumped up story,
which in tho first place bad been quite small, now
completely oozed out, and Friday evening he was
i once more with hiB prisoner at strailord. During
the journey Evans was generally In capital spirits,
I and really seemed to enjoy the trip. Friday nl^ht
he ate a hearty supper, and in the evening talked
glibly with Mrs. Drew and some neighbors who
came in.
THE SHERIFF CONFRONTS TIIE If ITRRKKKH.
After the fruitless trip to Kingston and Kensing
ton Sheriff Drew was raoro convinced thau ever
that Evans knew whether the girl was alive or dead.
Under this conviction he resolved to confront. Evans,
and solemnly pnt the question to him concerning her
whereabouts If living, and the disposition of the body
it dead, hast Friday night, the evening referred to,
after all other members ot the family had retired,
Mr. Drew resolved to have his conversation with
the prisoner. He commenced by asking Evans If he
remembered tho talk that he had with liliu nelore
his arrest concerning the goodness ol? the girl and
the evidence that sue had been foully dealt with
by the finding of her apron t<\nd her broken comb
containing Bome of ner Hair. Evans answered
that he did. Drew then asked him what
effect such conversation had upon hlin. He replied,
"IT WENT LIKE A OAdUKll TO MY IIEAKT."
Then the Sheriff fastened his eves upon the pri
soner and said:? "In the hearing of no persons but
us two and tho Oreat Being above, 1 ask youth is
question? Is the body of the girl cold lu death*"
The eyes of the two men wore fastened
on each other. Neither made the slightest
movement, aud not a sound was heard except the
measured tick of the clock and perhaps their owu
partially suppressed breathing. For some seconds
it seemed doubtful who would relax tirst. But
Evans, evidently becoming unnerved under the
calm, searching gaze of the officer, suddenly turned
pale, Ills hands trembled, and from his quivering
lips came the words,
"IT 18, Mil. DKEW; I HATE DONE WRONG."
With the same calmness he had maintained from
the beginning the Sheriff said, "(io with me and
show me where she Is." Evans said, "I will."
Thus tho officer got the mastery over the prisoner,
'and wrung the deep, bitter and wicked
secret from Ids heart. Evans now seemed power
less. He asked If the Selectmen would show him
any protection. The officer told him they woulddo
anything they had agreed to. In his contusion
Evans was undoubtedly thinking of tho promise
the Selectmen had made to protect lilm in
case he would find the girl alive or prove
that she had been taken away alive. Prepara
tions were now made to go and tlnd the body.
Mr. Drew went to his wife's bedroom privately aud
told her that he was to leave with Evans on a most
solemn duty and he wished her to dross herself
and go to Alonzo Tattle's, a near neighbor, and say
that he desired him to get E. J. Parshley and both
go to Mr. Ham's and wait there ln darkness. If
they heard a call from the swamp they must
promptly lollow the sound. Mr. Ham was the
nearest neighbor to Mr. Day. It was then eleven
P. M., aud Mr. Drew lived somo three miles or
more from the home of the murdered glrL
THE MIDNIGHT JOURNKY.
The Sheriff and prisoner started at' once with a
team for the wood where the girl was last seen, and
Teached thore about midnight. Then, leaving the
carriage, tne Sheriff took his lantern and told
Evans to lead the way. They were soon in the
forest, and a more dismal night's journey cannot
easily be imagined. The darkness was Intense,
And as they went along nothing was audible
save the rnstling of the leaves under their
feet and the wind moaning dismally through
the trees. They passed the spot where the
apron was found, and got over the fence
where the broken comb was discovered, but not a
word escaped the lips of either man. Then they
entered the swamp where stones, lallen trees and
treacherous bog-holes made locomotion very diffi
cult. They often went into the mud, and both of
them fell several times. Suddenly Evans stopped
and seemed bewildered; said he had lost the trail
and must go back to the fence and start again.
Conflicting thoughts then came Into the Sheriff's
mind, but lie did not waver for a moment. He
motioned with the lantern, and both we"* r
over the toilsome way to the brush *- naclt
looked around carefully, and * fh-;?I>ce. Evans
word again started Into ''a6 ottering a
hi* ' ,,?ie 6V4ftmOTft lortnlda
? tuuii ociore. At length, wet aid bruised, they
reached a bleaker spot than they had heretofore
Been. It was a hollow, filled with rocks, fallen
trees and other dfibrls. One very laroe tree had
fallen, and Its roots were so embedded lu (lift soil
that tlioy tore up ttie earth for a considerable
space. .
THE BODY IS FOUND.
Clone to the ground, under thin shelving mass of
fibres and earth, Kvans pointed his finger and said,
"There." The Sheriff said, " What r" The prisoner
answered again, '? There!" Then Evans, half kneel
ing, stooped, and carefully scraping away some
leaves, disclosed something white, and again said
"There!" The Sheriff then laid his hand upon the
object and saw that it was the body of the poor
murdered girl.
KYAN3 18 HANDCUFFED.
When the Sheriff touched the body the prisoner
said, with perfect composure, "Thai's she." Mr.
Drew then pulled a pair of handcuffs from bis
pocket and said, "Frank, stand still." Kvans
cried out "Don't put them on." Hut It did not
avail, and In a moment he was In Irons. Then the
prisoner fell on his knees and said, "Mr. Drew, f
have but one favor that I implore 01 you, which Is
that you will
SHOOT MR DEAD ON THE SPOT."
The simple reply wn?, "Vou will not be harmed."
Then Mr. Drew shouted for assistance, and after he
had called the third time Turtle answered and with
Parshiey repaired to the spot as noon as he could
get there. The former wus left with Kvans while
Mr. Drew and the latter went for the authorities
and a surgeon.
RETURN OF TDK OFFICIALS.
It was some two hours before the party returned,
which consisted of the two who went lor assist
ance, together with George T. Sherburne and
Ezra Tasker, two of the Selectmen, John G. Mead,
Esq., n Justice or the Peace, and Doctor Hanson.
Then the party all gathered round the remains of
the murdered girl. It was a solemn scene, ren
dered more so if possible by the wclrdness or
the place, and the darkness, through which
flickered the light of the lantern. Alt uncovered
their heads as the surgeon, under the direction of
the authorities, lifted the body from its resting
place. The face wore a calm and pleasant expres
sion, and showed only two very slight abrasions.
The neck bore plainly the prints ol Angers, show
ing that alio was undoubtedly strangled. Her
dress and skirts were in a bunch around her neck,
and, dreadful as it may seem, the body was proi>
ably dragged through the swamp. Then portions
or the clothing were removed by the surgeon, and
a spectacle was presented that sickened tho
stoutest heart present. Every person turned pale,
! and there was
NOT A DRY EVE IN THE COMrANT.
Evans himself gave a shriek of anguish that rang
out clear aud frightful through the wild woods. It
was found that the Inhuman flend had not only
strangled his victim, but with some sharp instru
ment bad horribly mutilated portions of the bod v.
It was a ghastly scene that those who saw will
never forget.
THE BODT REMOVED.
The clothing was carefully replaced, and extem
porizing a rude litter, the party started irom the
swamp. It was Impossible lor them to make
rapid progress out of the forest, aud it was
half-past lour when they reached the ball over
Mr. Mead's store, where the Inquest was to
be held. The Sheriff and Evans remained
near the house of Mr. Day. The prisoner was
asked to point out where a portion or the body had
been concealed. He hesitated at tlrst, but as he
looked into the determined face of the oincer he
knew well the best course to pursue. He said he
would go to the spot. Accompauled l>y Mr. Drew
he wont directly to Sherburne's mill, perhaps a
mile distant, and lifting a rock the missing re
mains were found.
TI1K EFFECT OF TtlE SEWS.
Little did most of the people ol Northwood realize,
as they rose In the morning, what terrible scencs
had been transpiring In their midst during the
darkness of the night. They retired with the mys
tery apparently as unsolved as ever, awl rose to
learn that Kvana ha<l confessed the murder an?l
disclosed the body; that It ha I been recovered
from Its dismal resting place, awl had been
laid out In tho hall in the village. As the
newt spread the excitement was intense. Many
could not believe it untli they ha?i actually gaic;t
upon the lifeless form. From every direction tho
people came crowding to the ball to learn the par
ticulars of the terrible tragedy. Tho news went
to surrounding towat. aud ait Uuvu*K to* day
Mams, as well a* pedestrians, almost filled every
avenue leading to tnc centre of the village. Many
were the anathema* heaped upon the head of the
murderer, and, fearing that there might be vio

house in Stratford.

TllE MlRDKHKli, EVANS,
is a native of Strafford, sixty-ionr years old, an4 ha?
from youth leil a roving and miserable life. lf? ia
ol medium stature, rather slim of boJv, and js w
little stooping. He has a long gray beard and Hair
of the same shade. His features are sharp, hi*
face thin and his forehead of medium height. A>
stranger would instantly notice his eyes,
winch are dark, piercingly sharp, au<U
have an unmistakable sinister expression.
In his dress and personal appearance lie is toler
ably neat. He lias a sanctimonious look, is an easy.'
talker, and a keen observer would recognize linn
as a cunning, shrewd and unprincipled mnu. lie
has travelled ranch and lived in many places, in
cluding Manchester, Concord, Allenstown, Deny
and ? uudia. He pretended to reud medicine witii
Dr. Hanson, of Manchester, and calling himself a
botanic physician he practiced us such more or less
among Ignorant people. Once he roamed ihc coun
try with au electrial battery, which ho pretended to
use professionally, and again lie went around giv
ing exhibitions with a magic lantern. A?ain ho
drops all these occupations and goes about doing
odd jobs of work, tlr.is gaining ? precarious living.
Next we hear of him as a whining beggar
auil a self-styled Second Advent preacher,
once he attended an adventist meeting iu
lioston, where, In tlie garb or a hypocrite, he ap
peuled successfully to the sympathies of the auut
ence, who raised himi a good contribution. The
next day he spent most or it for a meerschaum
ptpe, and his religious friends hearing or it would
never have anything more to do with him. He
ollon extended his travels into Canada, but when
ever he went ho wan. sure to get a bad name. The
sudden and mysterious disappearance or a young
twin child in Derry many years ago wutt
also supposed to have been his work, but no
positive proof or it was ever obtained. He ha*
been married three LlmeB. Alter living with him.
some twenty yeara his flrst wiro died. Of tlto
chlldren born In tbls unlou one, a son, now live*,
in Derry, while a married daughter resides in
Lawrence, Mass. His second wife separated hen
self from him. He wus married again, but lus luat
wire also left him and returned to l.aconia. Siueo
last June Evans had made his home at Mr. Day's,
being the only brother or the old lady, which of
course made him a grand-uncle of the murdered
girl. His relations with the diirereut members of
the family hud generally been or a peaceable char
acter, and In truth no one seemed to regard Rvanai
as a dangerous character. Since last Spring, he had
worked considerably by the day lor various far
mers in the vicinity.
