When the city of Bangor arrived at
BuckSport. Wednesday. one of the first
passengers to come ashore was Mrs.
Robert Miles, who has figured so con
spicuously in the Ware murder case.
Many of the citizens of the village
feared that she had gone on her con-
templated trip to Oregon and could not
be reached in case she was wanted as
a witness. The latest story in the muir
der case is that a certain lady who
lives in the vicinity of the TreworEy
shop is willing to swear that on the
night when the body is said to have
been moved she saw Joe Fogg drive
away from the Treworgy store with
w. T. Treworgy with the white horse
and ''jigger," as stated by Joe Fogg,
Jr. The town authorities state that
they are still at work on the case but
do not seem to be very hopeful of
success.
