THE LAW COURT.
The Portland Marine Society Case Finally
Settled.

Some time ago it will be remem here d.
the Portland Marine Society began the
practice of giving dinner annually at
ono of the hotels, to which they invited
several guests and paid for the dinner
out of the society treasurer. Capt. Benz.
E. Woodbury., one of the members con-
sidered this action a diversion of the
funds from the purposes laid down in
tne constitution He applied for an in
junction fzom the court to prevent this
practice. and failing in this. appealed
10 the full bench.
The following rescript in regard to the
matter has just been received from the
law court:
Cumberland, SIS.
Benjamin E. Woodbury., in equity, VS.. the
Portland Marine Society, ct ais.
Peters, G. 1.-THE Portland Marine
Society, corporation of ancient origin,
was created for tine purpose of extending
relief as occasion might require, to de-
cayeds and disabled seamen, and for the
, promotion of seamanship and naviga-
tion." 1t has accumulated considerable
property anu from the entrance fees
paid by members and annual dues Late-
IL, insorder to keep mp social interest
in the society and promote its welfare,
1t has been accustomed 60 give it's MEM
bers an annual dinner. The complainant,
one of its members, sought by bill in
equity, to suppress she practice by in
hfbitinQ such AN entertainment after 1t
was contracted for and virtually in readi-
& ness to be- partaken. and failing to obtain
an injunction in the court below, now,
upon appeal to this court. insists that
E the cost of the banquet, already paid for
ont of the plentiful funds of the society,
shall be collected from the members of
the society who participated therein.
While the court Is unwilling to declare
the practice to be legal, or to authorize
or encourage is continuance, it does not
deem it expedient to sustain tie bill I'M
der the circumstances now existing.
The bill also, seeks to enjoy this pay
mens OF SIS which the society voted that
it's treasurer pay to poor and worthy
person, the bill alleging that such per-
son does not belong to that class of
benefciaries of the society entitled to
relief from it's charitable funds. This is
too unimportant claim to require the
cour: to ADJUST the difference between
the parties. Equity does not stop to pick
up pins.
Appeal dismissed. Bill dismissed with
out costs.

DIED in PRISON.
Benjamin Chadbourne Who Always
Claimed to be Innocent.

Benjamin Chadbourne, who was serv.
ing life sentence in the state prison Tor
murder, died Tuesday OF heart trouble.
Chadbourne was sentenced March !,
1883, by the Pisoataquis supreme court
for completely In the murder OF Alvin
Watson. He was native of Cambridge,
this state and was IS years old at the
time of the comm 1tment.
Ohadbourne was known far and wide
as an honest and Woodworking farmer,
and man who Was considered as harm
less as he was jovia1 and good hearted.
He was the father Of large family, and
it was through the marital troubles OF
his eldest son, Wallace Chadbourne. who
with his wife at the time of the famous
Watson murder WAS living with his
father in Parkman, that the nome was
broken up, and Benjamin and Wallace
sent to prison.
The names of Wallace's wife and Alvin
Watson had been connected in various
ways, and it was generally known that
Watson circulated the stories h1mseiI.
Several times Wallace and Watson had
met and attempted to settle matters be-
tween themselves, but were separated by
their friends.
In the Chad bourne family was IA.
year, old boy, Byron, who was deaf
mute. On tine morning of the murder ne
awoke. the household at an early hour,
and came in covered with blood. BY
signs.he told a story of struggle with
Alvin Watson. He was bruised and cut
in scores of places.
Tine old man Chadbourne Immediately
started for the home of Watson. with the
avowed intention of settling the family
feud, for he believed that his boy had
been terribly beaten by Watson.
Watsons body was found several yards
from the house, in a semi-nuds condition
with over 40 knife wounds In it.
The Chadbourne.h home was broken up,
and after a long trial Benjamin and
Wallacesswere sentenced to life imprison-
ment for murder, and the deaf mute was
sent to a aohoolsin Massachusetts to be
educated. In him lay the only hope OF
his story. to strangers they believed that
they would be released. At least they 40
declared, and over 5000 people who be-
lieved in their innocence signed petition
for their pardon.
But the story of Byron Chadbourne,
the deaf mute, was never told. He was
drowned. soon after entering the school.
The wife of Benjamin Chadbourne,
within year of the murder, took her
life with poison. 49,
The Chadbournes were convicted on
purely circumstantial evidence, and
their friends caused the entire evidenc e
to be printed in book form for circula-
ton, and to be laid before sthe Governor
and council. All efforts have been in
vain, and thus closes thsslast chapter in
the life Of man ACCUSED Of terrible
crime, yet calling on God to witness his
inlocance.
