The Bucksport Murder.

The grand Jury found no indictment
against either William T. Treworgy or
Joseph a. Fogg, jr., in the Bucksport
murder case.
The people of Hancock county have
been deeply and righteously stirred
by the gross murder of Sarah Ware.
They have followed the case closely
from the discovery of the body in the
unfreqaented pasture through all its
devious windings, down to the arrest
of Treworgy, and the appearance on
the scene of the impenetrable Fogg.
With the firm belief that both Ire
worgy and Fogg could throw much
light on the mystery, the people
turned confidently to the grand jury,
expecting it to discover the truth and
set in motion the machinery of the
law that would eventually bring to
justice the murderer Hence the fail
ure of the grand jury 10 take any ac-
ton has been a surprise and a disap-
pointment. The grand jury has come
in for much hasty and unfair criticism.
As Judge Emery clearly, and in strict
conformity with the law, explained to
the jurors when they came into court
for instructions, they were not detec-
tives; they We're TO hear and carefully
weigh such evidence as was presented
TO them, but beyond that their duty
did not extend.
The question is asked 'Why was
not Fogg summoned before the grand
jury The explanation is simple
Fogg could not testify without in
eliminating himself and no law could
compel him to do that.
The county attorney and the attor-
ney general OF the State have. with
out any attempt to shirk the respon-
sibiiIy, said in effect that they did
not have sufficient evidence for con-
viction, and therefore did not feel
warranted in summonipg witnesses
before the grand jury. great major
ity of whom could testify only to
hearsay evidence. Do the people
of Hancock county believe otherwise?
Do they believe that Attorney Gener-
al Haines and County Attorney Bun
ker We're actuated by other than hon
est motives? Would it not be we'll for
them to pause before they make such
serious accusation against the integ-
rity of these officials?
But, to pass to another phase of the
case, The failure of the grand jury to
indict, which now to so many seems a
misfortune, may in the end be the best
thing that could have happened. If
William T. Treworgy does know some
thing about the murder-no one be-
lieves Treworgy himself guilty of the
murder his Indictment. instead OF ex-
tracing from him his story, would
put him under the protection of the
law, and place his story out of reach.
The same 3 s szsse g Iogg, and what
to many now seems an inconsistency
in not indicting him, may prove a
very wise move.
Treworgy and Fogg as witnesses
may be valuable some day. Treworgy

Grandma
Tale
ABOUT.
Grape=Nuts

man said when he was a boy his
grandma used to brown some slices OF
bread and pound them up in an Old
mortar and feed them with milk to his
brothers and himself
He remarked that he believed Grape
Nuts, the famous food, was made in
the same way, but a gentleman in the
party remarked that he had investigat,
ed Grape-Nuts carefully and found that
the grain from which it was made was
prepared by various processes of long
soaking, warmth and time, by which
the peculiar element under the shell OF
wheat and barley is developed This
element is called diastase and its work
is TO change the starch of grains into
Rrape-sugar. This same process is
gone through with in the human body
when any whole grain preparation is
used such as rolled wheat or oats. or
entire wheat bread. But the trouble
is that so many people are weak in
their intestinal digestion and bread and
the starch-containing cereals are not
properly digested. thus producing gas
and bowel complaints, often ending in
appendicitis or kindred difficulties.
Grape Nuts food being pre-digested
mechanically before going into the hu-
man body is ready for quick and easy
assimilation and people of weak diges-
tion can thus obtain the full value
from a healthful and most nourishing
natural food. The flavor of Grape
Nuts is a delicate sweet, that of true
grape-sugar to be seen glistening on
the little particles. This sugar is not
added to them, but is produced in the
change from starch to grape-sugar and
evolved in the processes. The famous
food is sold by all first-class grocers
and made by the Postum Cereal Co.,
Ltd, at Battle Creek. Mich
