DEFENsE.-You were oyerpaid on a
check, $40; and the balance never prom
ised to pay. True, you furnished my
workncn with supplies and Given, my
head man, allowed you to do so to IA lin
tied extent. taking care that they did not
overdraw their wages. Given had troub-
lie with me, and brought snit; and you al
lowed Given to join your account with
his in Il suit against me, and you changed
your books accordingly, so that your
books show in one place that our ac-
counts are balanced. True, Given's at
torney had these items struck from his
writ; and you undertook to reinstatc
things by charging me with the same
bills over again.
The Judge instructed the jury to allow
the defendant the $40 overpayment, and

DEFENSE: The charges are fair, custo-

concerned; but you have sued the wrong
man. A real action was brought against
Stevens and me in the first place. Stcy
ems employed you to defend. Rowe. my
erantor, voluntarily came in and assumed
defense. He employed you then, aud is
the one who ought to pay the bill.
The Judge instructed the jury in sub

of employment, and that legal prcsump-

legal presumption were not conclusive.

A Detective in Trouble.
ROBERT A. DAVIS BOUND OVER BY JUDGE
BACHELLER.

ROBERT A. DAVIS BOUND OVER BY JUDGE
BACHELLER.
At the last session of the Legislature
law was passed authorizing the Cover
nor to appoint certain number of State
detectives. What the demand was for
snch force we as yet have been unable
to tell. Well. they went to work and have
done lots of business some of it good and
much of it bad. Some of them have been
arrested for illegal arrests and doubtless
more of them ought to be. A few weeks
ago the writer was in Starks and hap
pened into the hall where family of
Gordons were on trial for receiving money
said to have been stolen from Louis
Kershner of Kingfield. half witted
young man named Young swore that he
gave this money which he admitted he
stole, to the Gordons. Upon his testimo-
ny they were bound over and he went to
jail. 1t was evident then that Young wa $
brief account of the case. When h. was
brought before the grand jury to get an
indictment against the Gordans he wiltcd
and admitted that the story he told at
Starks was lie. The case had been
worked up by State detective Robert A
Davis of Portland He caused the arrest
of the Gordons and kept young woman
in room for SO hours awaiting her trial
r
Whitcomb of Pennington her counsel had
a warrant sworn out for the arrest of the
detective. The warrant was placed in
the hands of Detective Soule of Gardiner
and he brought his brother detective here
Saturday morning accompanied by Hon.
W. +. Lunt his counsel The trial was
before Judge Bachelor Davis claimed
that what he did was done by authority
of Deputy Sheriff Sawyer of Starks Mr..
Sawyer was sent for and repudiated any
such an understanding. The case was
just the reverse and Mr. Sawyer was not
called as witness. Mr.. Whitcomb de-
tailed the Incidents of the arrest and
Judge Bachelor held Davis in $500 bonds
which were furnished by b. F. Noble of
Portland. Mr.. Whitcomb says he has
discovered where the money went to but
the circumstances are such that there will
be no further prosecutions. Young never
saw the money and knew nothing what
ever of it and but for Detective Davis
Somerset as well as Franklin would have
been saved large bills of costs. The next
Legislature will doubtless set down on
this State Detective business.
