markable case, which has already been men,
toned in these columns, took a new phase at

recovered in the U. S. District Court at this
city, Jonathan II. Hall and Ashur lE Hall,
whom he took to Guilford, intending to bring
them to Bangor by rail. Soon after arriving at
Guilford Mr.. Head himself was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Foss on some sort of process,
and when he started to take his prisoners to
the train Saturday morning he was forcibly de-
tanned and the men released. Mr.. Head was
then taken before Trial Justice Addison Mar
tin, tried, convicted and fined on two complaints
for assault and battery. The fines and costs
amounted to $3.50. As he did not pay the
fines and costs nor appeal the case, he was held
in custody, and Wednesday Deputy Sheriff
Foss started for Bangor to commit the prisoner
to the county Jail. On their arrival there. and
while they were at breakfast at the Penobscot
Exchange, H. d. Marble of this city, Deputy
U. S. Marshal, entered the room and arrested
Mr.. Foss on writ issued by Edward M. Rand,
esq.,, United States Commissioner. The writ,
after naming the district in which the offence
was committed, and the parties implicated,
charges them with knowingly and wilfully OBJ
structing, resisting and opposing one Henry A.
Head, then and there a Denuty Marshal of the
United States of America, for said District of
Maine at said Guilford, on the seventeenth day
of January. A. D., 1874, in serving and at
tempting to serve a legal writ, to wit: A writ
of execution against one Jonathan A. Hall, is

the United States, of said district, said writ
being then and there in full force and in no part
satisfied or discharged
Henry Hudson, esq.,, of Guilford, who was
stopping at the hotel, having come to Bangor
| the day before, and who acted as prosecuting
attorney at the time Marshal Head was tried
before Trial Justice Martin, was also arrested,
| and the two prisoners were given in charge OF
| Mr.. Head, who kept them in custody Wednes-
day night. 1 ,a

| Messrs. Hudson and Foss to this city. They
| arrived at o'clock in the afternoon and were
at once arraigned before U. S. Commissioner
Rand. They pleaded not guilty, and were or

with sureties, for their appearance this morn.
ing at 10 O'Clock. The security was furnished
and they were released.
| AS Nathan Webb, esq.,, the United States
| District Attorney, is engaged upon the Stafford
case, in the Superior Court, it is quite probable
that the hearing will be postponed until some
| time next week. VS.
Josiah Crosby, esq.,, of Dexter, is the attor-
ney for the respondents.
The affair has created quite a stir among the
United States officials, and the case will be
watched with great deal of interest Mr.
