ROANOKE CASE BEFORE THE COURT
Judge Estee Clearly Lays Down the
Law and Jury Finds Defendant
Guilty-sentenee TO be Pronoune-
ed Today-Ney~ American Citizen
Bankrupt Case is Continued.

The case OF r. NJ Ramat, the abb,
seaman charged with having assault
ed first mate Moxcn, OF the steamer
Roanoke, had a final hearing in tn;
United States Court yesterday morn
ing. Ramat was charged with having
struck Moxon while the vessel was Oh
the high seas bound for this port
leaking badly, and the men had par
ticular orders to look after the don
key engine and other machinery.
The captain stated that he was not
positive whether the trouble occurred
before or after the discovery that the
vessel was on fire. but his investiga
ton of the affair was jotted down in
his log book which showed that ii
occurred on October %.
Ramat testified and proved by wit
neSses that he was called q vicious
brutal name bv MoXon who apprC ach-
ed him in a threatening manner
whereupon the mate was promptly
knocked out and Ramat placed under
arrest.
Attorney w. F. Fleming represented
the defendant. and in his address to
inc Jul y. GSStlktu Thai uhutE HO ClA-
cumstance would one of them sit
quietly and submit TO such an in
famous appelation. that it was the
first and bounden duty OF a man to
protect the name OF mis- mother. and
that and nothing else could be charg-
ed against the prisoner. He had sim
ply done what any member of the
jury would have felt il his duty to do
under similar circumstances.
District Attorney Dunno replied in
a few words and claimed il had not
been proven that the mate approached
Ramat in threatening manner and If
he had. defendant should not have
struck him.
Judge Estee's charge to the jury
was clear and concise to wit:
No sailor en- the high seas possesses
the right to strike an officer under any
circumstances. While 1t may be brutal
and unjust for any one to apply or use
disgusting language to an inferior or
an equal, no man is permitted to take
the law into his own hands and ad-
judicate a fancied wrong as he may
deem best, or according to his own
conceptions of what is just and right.
The jury then retired, and in few
moments brought in a verdict of
guilty

Hunt for a Los, surveyor, Lin.

In the office of an Exchange street
timber land owner, says the Bangor
tAe-) correspondent of the New York
sun, there is a curiosity in the shape
Of spot which was blazed on a tree
IN the wilderness of Northern Maine
Just l04 years ago. Maine men who
get their living by exploring the vast
region OF timber lands north of Ban
gor have been hunting for il for sixty
years. and il was not found until the
other day.
Three different surveys have been
made of the western line OF the Ka-
tahdin iron works township, the first
by Samuel Weston in 1894, the sec
ond by Eben Greenleaf in 1871 and the
third by man named Barker in 1871.
For sixty years the line of the Wes-
ton survey has been lost. r. NJ. Mas
on. of Bangor, was sent into the
woods TO find it
He had only a hazy idea of its
whereabouts. The location of the
Greenleaf and Barker lines was
known TO him. and he reasoned that
| the Weston line must run parallel
with them. although at what distance
east or west he did not know.
He knew that the line run more
than century ago would not be yisi-
bic and that the spots must have been
made on trees at least 100 years old.
He found a huge rock maple more
than feet in diameter. On one side
of it the bark was SCARED where it
had healed over the wounds made
by an axe
Mr.. Mason at once made up his
mind that the spot he wanted existed
on this tree. and he argued that il
would be found somewhere well with
ia the heart of the tree He cut away
part of the trunk and came upon a
dark diseoloration in the wood. which
he decided was one of the Weston
spots.
The best evidence that he is cor
rect is the fact that between the spot
and the outside of the tree are ex-
actly 106 rings. indicating that the
diseoioration was made log years ago
the time that the Weston line was
run.
The finding of this line was worth
thousands of dollars to the timber
land owner. as it was evidence of the
boundaries This property over which
there had been great dispute.
