The Reed Murder Trial.

Closed.
Bangor, Me. March 10. The testimony in
| troduced in the Reed murder trial the past
two days does not vary much from the evil
dence in former trials.
Several witnesses testified that the road
from Midway village mp river was wet at all
seasonsl
The prisoner, Elbridge w. Reed, was put
on the stand and testified that the day.of the
murder he was digging potatoes; was not al

Rays he killed her husband: did not kill
Ray; had nothing to do with burying him
after eupper on the evening Ray was missing

took them on my shoulder and in getting over
bars fell and hurt my hand; carried shingles
to Parsons house, then went to hotel and
then went home. Got home at 1856; went t o
bed early and did not get up a. gain that night ;
next morning went to Hathaway's after horse

Some rebutting testimony was then introdnc-
ed by the government.
Mrs. Severance, widow of the murdered
man, who has since married, was placed upon
the stand again, and testified that she was
afraid to testify to the truth at the first trial;

ed and it was announced that the testimony
was all in.

THURSDAY, March 10th.
No. 246, Granite National Bank VS.. Sarah
Hagar.
At half past three o'clock the jury reported
to the court that they could not agree, and
that there was no prospect of better result.
They were accordingly discharged from the
case, after being out some five or six hours.
After the jury had retired on the foregoing,
the county attorney called up the complaint
State VS.. M. L. Enright, case Of search and
seizure, brought here by appeal from the Mu-
nicipal Court. Pillsbury for deft. The COM
plant was dated Feb. llth and the seizure
was made Feb. 25th of keg of what the off,
Ger called cherry rum. The def proved
satisfactorily that the key in question with its
contents was not deposited in his saloon until
Feb. 10Th, and his council contended that the
liquor seized not being the identical liquors
complained against, the prosecution must
fail. But the judge made the ruling upon
that point. allowing the def, the benefit Of
exceptions, if the verdict should be against
liquor was native wine and therefore exempt
from seizure under the liquor law. Upon
this point probably the jury found in favor Of
the deft. and gave him verdict of acquittal.
The manufacturer of the wine was present
and testified that it was made wholly from
fruit grown in this State, and gave detailed
account Of his method Of making it. He also
| testified from an examination of Enrights
wine that it had not been changed or adulter-
| sted since it left his cellar.
