Mystery at the Littfield house ends with confession

Detective Odie tightens the case against Grindie after a chain of evidence, including a recovered dollar bill, a bloodstained knife, and a weapon with blood. Grindie confesses to assaulting Mrs. Littiefield near Littiefield’s home then falsifies details about his motive as investigators link liquor to the crime. Mrs. Littiefield’s condition improves in Penobscot, with her memory not yet regained and her husband Kin Littlefield aboard the schooner Omaha. Capt. Perkins has returned to Bangor.

The eleventh Hancock County Fair opens at Wyman park facing downpours that dampen entries and attendance. Livestock, dairy, fruit, and domestic exhibits show quality gains, with Guernsey bull Capt.

The races on Wednesday feature fast trots and a large crowd, as crowds exceed three thousand with plans continuing through Thursday.
