SATURDAY-State VS.. George l.. Rob
erts.
The respondent, a farmer living on the
coast in Brunswick, one day in Decem-
Der about o'clock in the morning, was
arrested by Sheriff Despeaux two miles
below Brunswick village with a load of
eight barrels containing 1887 short lob
sters. which he was hauling to the Maine
Central depot. Six of the barrels were
headed UP and two were covered with
eunny sacks tied on-all directed to
parties in New York. The government
put on a witness who said the night be-
fore he took his two horse team and went
to the defendants place and read him
the following letter:
'sMr. Roberts: If the boys amt to
your house take a lantern and go down
to Clough Point SO they can see you.
FRANK"
Roberts was abed; he dressed himself
and went down wilh the lantern as di-
ashore with 20 barrels. The witness
took 12 barrels and brought them to the
Brunswick depot. 1t was the other
eight barrels that Roberts afterwards
took which he is indicted for. The.penal-
ty is 81 for each short lobster, and in this
case would have amounted to $10S7.
Roberts testified that he did not know
who the letter read to him was from; he
didn't know the parties that brought the
barrels ashore; he didn't know what was
in the barrels and never asked. One of
the men offered him S. to haul those
eight barrels to Brunswick depot, and as
the So looked large to him he took it.
