THE CRIMINAL DOCKET
The grand jury reported Thursday
night. There were nineteen indictments
thirteen tor liquor-selling, three for
larceny, one for receiving stolen goods,
one for forgery and one for nuisance.
The indictments other than liquor cases
are against the following.
Daniel II. Herlihy, OF Bar Harbor, Ia
indicted for maintaining nuisance. Mr..
"Woodbine Club" at Bar Harbor, with
which the authorities had some trouble
the pas; summer for failing to comply
with the unwritten law at Bar Harbor
that saloons shall be closed at 10 p. m.
Mr.. Herlihy retaliated by making COM
plants against some OF the swell hotels,
thereby attempting to precipitate liquor
war at the height of Bar Harbor's sum-
mer season.
John E. Pierce, of Hulrs Cove, indicted
for forgery, is the young man who was
arrested In Ellsworth last week. The
charge against him is forging the name
OF his employer, Ezra II. Higgins, as
endorsement on a check given him by
Guy Fairfax Whiting for Mr.. Higgins.
Pierce bought some clothing, cashed the
check and started for Bangor.
Alden V. Carter, OF Ellsworth, Is in
dicted for receiving stolen goods. This

alleged to have been implicated with the
| two boys who broke into William L..
Wentworth & Co.. store at East Orland
last February. The boys stopped at Mr..
Carter's place and were arrested there.
Before the April grand jury one OF the
boys told story which implicated Carter.
A search of the premises resulted in the
finding of some Of the stolen goods. An
indictment against Carter for receiving
stolen goods was found at the April term,
but owing to technical error In the in
dictment 1t was quashed. At the same
term, however, he was convicted on q
charge OF cruelty to animals, and sem
fenced to four months in the county jail.
At the expiration of his term, he was
arrested on complaint for receiving stolen
goods, and tried in the Ellsworth munic-
ipal court. He was bound over for the
October grand jury, by which he has now
been indicted.
Carter's case went on trial Monday and
reached the jury yesterday afternoon at
O'Clock. The jury was out until O'Clock
this morning, returning a sealed verdict
at opening OF court this morning. The
verdict was guilty.
Counsel for respondent moved for arrest
of judgment. The ground for this
motion, 1t is understood, is that there was
