The Case OF Aaron B. Snow.

Especial to the Bangor Daily News
JACKSON, March g Does Aaron B. Snow
intend to come back to lis home and attemp pit
to make a settlement with his creditors and
begin business anew, or does he intend TO
stay out OF the way entirely. unless caught
by the officers and brought back here to an
swer to the serious charges wh ch have been
preferred against him by the people W it'll
whom he has been doing business, and who
are row suffering because of the crooked
work of Snow?
This seems to be the most talked of matter
which has been brought to the attention of
the people of this town for many a day
those on intimate terms with Snow say
that ne Will come back in a short time AS
sooL as matters have queted down little
and go through bankruptcy This seems to
be the general idea and the people are of the
opinion that all the criminal cases will be
dropped, and as Snow has an amount due
nlm IN real estate to settle all claims against
him that those who have been swindled by
his crooked work will allow these matters to
drop and let him come back unmolested
That he has left the State there can now be
but very little doubt; still. those who know
about him and his nature best say that if
search was really made for him that
would be found. They do not pretend to
say that he mas gone away never to return.
The general belief is that he is now some
where about Boston and that he is in com
munlcation with parties at his home who are
keeping hlm posted on what is going on in
regard to his case The report that Snow
has been at his home within week is
without the slightest foundation.
Those who have begun action against
Snow are waiting to see what turn will be
taken by him, hoping that he will come back
and give them a chance at him The credi-
tors of Snow want to see him back, and most
of them are willing to let him go free from
any criminal action.
Ira Gardner the old man at Dxmont who
was caught by Snow for the sum of $4, 900,
has been to Belfast and has seen an attorney
ut what the result will be, he has declined
to make known.

The Ware Murder Case.

BUCKsPoRT, March 90 All the recent
efforts i'll the Ware murder case seem to
have bren unavailing and it is the general
belief that the confession and retraction
and confession of perjury by Joseph A. Fogg
Jr., the only witness for the State yet pro-
ouced, make it impossible for the Indictment
OF W. T. Treworgy, who is held for the mur-
der on Fogg's unsupported testimony. Tre
worgy is out on bail and Fogg is in Ellsworth
Jail waiting action of the grand jury which
sits April IL. Fogg sticks to the story that
he helped Treworgy move Sarah Wares

So this was really the reason
