Alexander Terrio Held.

The continued hearing of Alexander
Ferrio, charged with the murder of
Matthias Pare in March last on tote
road In Misery township, came off at the
court house here, Tuesday last, beginning
about II o'clock a. m. The available
space for spectators was well used in
GLIDING standing room.
Walton q Walton, who appeared for
the respondent in the former hearing,
withdrew from the case several DAYS ago
and Mr.. Morey of the law firm McGillI-
cudy & Morey of Lewiston, appeared for
the defense. County Attorney Cover
appeared for the State.
Terrio was brought into court by
Sheriff Pennell and Deputy Sheriff Has,
kell. He appeared much detected.
The witnesses additional to those who
testified at the first hearing were. VII.
liam Butler of Foxcroft, A. D. Calder of
Moose River and Fred Parrant of Moose
River.
Butler testified in regard to his hauling
| rock for the piers at Brassau and to the
| fact that someone put an extension case
on his sled on the day he moved his
household goods from Asquith to Moose
River. He explained that he took the
clothes out of the case in George Ritch-
les house In the dark and therefore
could not Identify the clothes.
County Attorney Cover produced an
extension case which Butler thought
was the one from which he took the
clothes and also recognized coat, vest,
| trousers, shirt and macintosh which he
said he subsequently found In his chest.
| Calder was put on the stand and testified
| that he saw Butler several times on
| March 18th, the day of the murder, when
he was hauling stone for the piers.
| Fred Parrant testified that he saw
| Butler on March IL when he was assist.
ing him (ParranO in loading stone and
| four loads were hauled, and therefore
saw him four times during the day.
County Attorney Cover rested the
| case for the State. The examination OF
| these witnesses occupied about one-half
hour.
Mr.. Morey addressed the court asking
for a discharge Of the prisoner. He
| went over the case from the standpoint
of the defense, explaining the circum.
stances and arguing earnestly that there
were several other persons upon whom
the crime might more appropriately be
charged than upon the respondent.
Court was adjourned soon after II
O'Clock to 100 p. M, when County At
torney Cover began his argument,
going carefully over the case concisely
reviewing the testimony and explaining
the whereabouts of Butler, Pooler and
Murray, the only men aside from Terrio,
to whom the crime could possibly be
| laid.
Judge Bachelor briefly referred to the
salient points in the evidence concluding
by saying that he found sufficient evil
dence to hold Terrio to await the action
of the grand jury in September, and he
was remanded to the jail.
The witnesses for the State were call.
ed and required to recognize personally
for their appearance at the September
term of supreme court.

out the statement that he shall not be 9
candidate for reelection as U. S. Sena.

will not cease to be power In the State
