The May term Of supreme Judicial
Court for Oxford County open. at Paris
this Tuesday morning, With Judge
whltehouse presiding. The May term
IL ordinarily only for civil business, and
il seldom more than week ln length.
There IL good reason To suppose that the
present term will az least hold Into the
second week.
The Butterfield case, which WAS placed
on the trial ilst At the February term,
Was afterward, owing To lack OF time,
continued to this May term. That does
not mean that Il will certainly be tried
this term, but Il IL understood that the
counsel have made preparations for trial.
The criminal business Of the term will
be quite Important. II IL the frst time
In great many years, u Il ever occurred
before, that the grand Jury has been
called by = special summons. They
viii probably have several cases before
them.
The J,il has now four inmates: George
W. Ryer.on Of Milton Plantation, COM
United on the charge Of killing Joseph
A. stevens; Eugene Aros, Who WAS
captured In store which be had entered
at l,unford Falls; Daniel Hyde, Who
stole between Ave aud six hundred dol.
lars from Albert FROST Of Peru; and
Melvin u. Mercy, Indicted at the last
term for forging and uiteripga forged
paper. A demurrer wss died Tn the In
dictment of Morey, aud the ease was 10
90 Ia the Law court; but it IL suggested
that the matter may BE- disposed Of till.
term.
IL was expected that there would be
some business for the grand jury at least
from the Poland region In Oxford.
George Poland IL bound over IN this
term on two separate actions, Henry &.
Poland and John Berry were Indicted nj
the last term, and others were implicated
by recent developments. Hut as there
are now sixteen indictments on the
docket of Androscoggin County against
members of the Poland family aud con-
nections ~ the result of the recent raids,
u II probable that the Oxford court will
have 20 walt until Androscoggin gets
through with them before they appear
here.
Under the circumstances of the several
cases, it IL not likely that tbeie will be-
more than one criminal trial at this term.
