Hancock. 20 strongly indeed. that 10 10
difiicult to ses how they could Be ignored.
sinoe then. hewsver, the case seems to
have been forgotten until last week when
| here wss another contribution 10 Sarah
Ware literature In the shape Of q letter
from Mr.. ". =. Trsworgy, who was sud-
,iy arrested once fof this crime and

makes the following comment:
"W. 4. Trsworsy Of Bueksport whom
Bangor psopis know through his cor

as . suspect, Is out with isttsr TO his
fellow citisens In the oourss OF this
letter Mr.. Treworgy who was once famous
for MS ability to keep stili under trying
circumstances. comes very CLOSE to relsss-
ing a certain oat which In some quarters
Of HANCOCK county has besn supposed to
have been securely bsgged.
Mr.. Trsworey wants . new deal In the
county officers In Hancock and says that
that is the only way In which the muir
dsror or murderers OF Sarah Ware can be
brought to justice. That Is not new. be-
cause Detective Tracy has said the same
thing, but this ID che first time the
newspapers have printed letters about IL.
Perhaps some Of the newspapers have
received letters which they dill not print !"
Here IL Mr.. Treworey's letter as print
