Quite a sensation was caused in the
Superior Court at Portland Tuesday,
when Attorney General Powers moved
20 mol pros the indictment against
James Lewis, charged with the murder
Of Byron Coburn Of Gorham. This, it
will be remembered, was one OF the
most brutal murders on record in the
state. Lewis has been once tried for it
and convicted, but there was so much
doubt Of his guilt in the public mind
that the money 70 pay the expense OF
carving the case up was raised by sub
scription. The law court ordered new
trial, which it Was expected would take
place at the present term OF court, but
the outcome Of the affair was the unex-
pected result stated above. Probably
the world will never be satisfied a. to
who murdered Byron Coburn.
