The Bangor Wing says that Hon. W.
W. Rice, on Thursday evening, returned from
Houlton with two prisoners destined for State
Prison. One of these was Nickerson who
killed Brown in an Aroostook camp, and the
other was Shorey who is under sentence for
rape. Mr. Rice thinks that the case of Nick
erson is a hard one. Nickerson appears to be
a very nice sort of fellow and would not
probably have struck Brown unless there had
been great deal of provocation. 1t appears
that the published reports of the tragedy have
not been very accurate in details. 1t was II
matter of surprise to many that Nickerson
was not indicted for greater crime than as
saut. 1t seems, however. the physicians
testified that Brown died really of lung trou-
Bile. Nickersons sentence is one of five
years. The scene of the rape in which Sho-
rey is implicated is at Fort Fairfield. His
sentence is one of seven years. These two
prisoners were kept in the County Jail in Ban
gor over night and the next morning. with
Dufor, the Frenchman from Orono, who is
sentenced to three years. were carried to the
State Prison at Thomaston.
