the Bucksport Case StilI Further.
Bucksport, Me-, March 2i.-A startling z
development in the Ware murder case was
| made public today by direct order of At
torney General Haines. 1t will be Ie.
membered that W. L. Ire worry Of
Bucksport was arrested, arraigned and
bound over to the grand jury recently on
the charge OF numbering Sarah Ware in
September last. The case rested on the
testimony wholly. Of Joseph A. Fogg,
Jr. who stated that he helped Treworgy
move q body to a place where the body o (
the woman was afterwards found. On
Tuesday following the trial, Fogg made
q complete retraction to the chairman of
the seleotmen, stating that his story WAS
made up. This story reflected directly
upon Detective Tracey and 5. l.. Hey
wood and I. +. Taplsy of the citizens
committee. who were very active In
prosecuting the case.
Haywood, Tapley and Tracey claimed
that the clue to Fogg's alleged knowledge
OF the case, came from the fact that Fogg
was known to have told several parties
that Sarah Ware was murdered. some
days before her body as. found To prove
s.ssss as arsion, Messrs. Heywo and Tap
ley secured nfl1davits from the mother
and father of Joseph Fogg, Jr. and sub
mitted them to the attorney general who
at once ordered them made public. The
afiidavlts were made before 4. II. Smith,
local attorney. The affidavit of Aryilla
Fogg of Oriand, says:
"Joseph A. Fogg. Jr., is my son, and
on ths Sunday before the Orland fair
while we were sitting in the kitchen, he
said: Mother I helped Treworgy to move
body
"His wife spoke up and said, you
| stop, and the son spoke up and said, you
know nothing about it, and he got up
and went out Of doors. One week after
the body was found he came over to our
house at Orland and said: Mother, the
body 1 helped 1reworgy to move was
Sara h Wares" l was present and heard
the conversation between my husband
and my son Joseph wherein he told my
husband what he knew in the matter of
assisting Treworgy in moving the body. "
The affidavit of Joseph A. Fogg Of
Orlaud, says:
"My son Joseph A. Fogz. Jr.. told me
on February 90. 1889, that he had not told
all he knew about the Ware murder case.
He said at that time j have not told all
l know yet The same night, February
23, Joe came to my house and l asked
him if he knew anything about the
murder at all ar d he answered Il do
said to him, tell me all you know aud he
answered: 4 helped Ireworgy to move
the body on a. jigger. l then said want
you to toll me when the body waslat the
time and all about 1t. He said it was
over the stone wall up in the corner of
the pasture that Treworgy took a canvass
of the jigger and went over the wall and
it was SO dark that he could not tell
whether he lugged or dragged the body
over; that Treworgy brought it alone to
the side of the jigger and he (Joe) took
hold of the corner of tho canvass and
elped haul 1t on. Then Treworgy drove
on down into the woods and took the
body off. That he (Joe) held the horse
while Treworey took the body off. He
said he was afraid to go and tell what
he knew about It,
The affidavits tend to still further com.
plicate the case and it Is now most diff
cult undertaking to locate the truth in
Fogg's original story.
