The Aaron Snow Case.

\ Brooks correspondent OF the Bangor
Daily News tells an interesting story in
connection with the case Of Aaron Snow Of
| jackson. He says that Mrs. Shows attor-
nev will take action to have the bankruptcy
; proceedings set aside, and that a movement
is on foot to clear Mr.. Snow from the charge
of forging notes. Mrs. Snow is at the home
of her father, Rev. David Bracket OF Brooks.
Her attorney, Mr. Ernest lIoulsworth of the
| firm of Mclaughlin 4 Iloulsworth, New
York. said to the News correspondent.
! We do not believe that these bankruptcy
| proceedings in the case are right or legal
and the first thing that we shall do will be
to take action to have them set entirely aside,
the property which has been sold returned
or accounted for, after which we Shall then
be ready to pay Off the whole Indebtedness
! of Mr. Snow, dollar for dollar. We are 60
ing to prove that Mrs. Snow never signed
away her right of dover to the homestead,
but that it was a blank sheet of paper which
was brought to her to sign, the bearer tell
ing her that it had been sent BY Mr.. Snow,
who wished her to sign it. The signature
was never acknowledged in her presence,
which, of course, you know, makes that
proceeding Illegal and the signing void.
The farm is being stripped of a large amount
of timber this winter and the people who
lloN lIDHt u ttlt SOlIS teollS ICSGl lltSH
OF amy rights of redemption and are taking
all they can off the place.
SIN regard to those forgeries and Mr.
Snow being fugitive from justice, let me
say that do not believe that the man is half
as black as he has been painted by the people
of this community, all of whom seem to want
to brand him as a scoundrel. l shall have
J. C. Corrallo of New York, one of the great
est handwriting experts in the land, to come
here and look into the matter of the forged
notes and we shall then learn what of them
are genuine and what are not. Should he be
needed here, we can produce Mr.. Snow in
less than forty eight hours at any time
A whole lot of claims have been put in that
have once been paid, as | have found out
from the vouchers which / have found of
were paid in full l have found all of these
in the few days l have been here and have
Just begun to work on the case. / think that
| Shall find large number OF other claims
which will be the same
81 am now in communication with the as
SiStant secretary of the treasury and expect
to hear from him in a short time in regard to
taking this matter right to the L nited States
supreme court, where we can have these
bankruptcy proceedings set aside then we
will go ahead and pay all Of the indebtedness
of Mr.. Shows that is just and legal, but we
shall contest every claim that is not legal. |
tell you, this has been a game of bluff all the
way through and they have not given this
lady a chance Tor what has actually belong
ed to her, but now we shall see what we can
do in regard to the case and from now out
her interests will be looked after and every
move made in the bankruptcy case will be
watched very closely by us
The latest development in the case trans
pired Tuesday. 1t appears that attorney
Houlsworth has been talking quite freely
and some of his remarks reflected so
severely on F. w. Brown, il, of Brooks !
that the latter brought Il suit for SANDER
AS the defendant has no known property
in the State he was arrested on special
writ and placed in Jail. IIoulsworth has
retained w. II. Mcclellan, Esq, to defend
him.
MONROE. Much sympathy is expressed
for Mr. and Mrs. Walter Evans in the loss
of their little girl, Myra Frances, aged l
