on or about Sept. IL. IL was solely on
Fogg's testimony that probable cause
was found against Treworgy, and he
was held for the grand jury. and is now
In Ellsworth Jail. Foggs testimony at
the hearing was sensational in the ex-
treme. and was In substance that a
Few nights after the disappearance of
Sarah Ware he was asked by Treworgy
to help do job and he accompanied
IreWorgy on jigger 20 certain spot
In the Miles lane, and helped Treworgy
move the body TO another spot. where
the body was found oct. 2. Fogg's
statement was not shaken 10 any extent
by rigid cross examination.
ON Tuesday Fogg confessed to Chair
man Hall OF the board Of selectmen that
he had testified falsely, and that his
whole story was a lie from beginning To
end, and repeated the same i'm the pres
ence OF Detective Odlin.-C County At
torney Bunker was notified and at once
ordered Foggs arrest At the hearing
Fogg declined counsel, and was allowed
10 tell his own story.
He said that he was seen by :. l..
Haywood, l.. +. Tapley OF Bucksport, and
Detective Tracey Of Bangor who told
him that they knew that he knew all
about the murder of SararsWare, and
wanted him TO tell them what they knew
he had told his wife, mother and another
party He had seen them a number OF
times, and they told him he would have
TO go TO state prison If he did not tell

he had Il writ for his arrest. and would
send him TO state prison II he did not tell
that Tracey said he had $500 i'm his
possession, and half oft would go to him
II he would tell.
Fogg then created a sensa ton by say
ing that Tracey and Tapley went out
to the Miles lane TO see If there was
stone wall there, and also told him ne
found the body at the place where the
bit of cloth was found which, at one
( time. was though. to have had some
connection with the case. but which af-
terwards was disproved. Fogg said that
he was scared into telling the story. and
n
come out all right. After the hearing he
thought OF what he had done. and could
keep 1t no longer. and told some OF his
folks that he had lied. and afterwards
told Hall and Odlin. He had seen Tap
ley since the hearing, but none OF the
others. He said that Tapley had told
him to stick to his story. and Treworgy
would look through the CRATES. Fogg
nearly broke down several times.
The Mr.. Haywood referred TO has been
very prominent in the Investigations,
independent OF the regular authorities.

of Treworgy. lie. with Tapley and
Tracey. traced TO Fogg a report which
was said TO be in circulation that Sarah
Ware was murdered before her body
