TrewnrQy indicted.

An indictment WAS returned, Sat urday
afternoon. by the grand jury Of Hancock
county at Ellsworth, which had been In
vestigsting the murder of Mrs. Sarah
Ware at Bucksport, In September, 1898,
charging William Treworgy Of Bucks
port with the crime. He WAS immedi-
ately arrested and locked up In the
county Jail. He will be tried at an adj
ourned term of court.
1t is understood that the principal evil
dence against the prisoner was given by
Joseph Fogg, Jr whose testimony was,
it is understood, supported by other cir
cumstances. Ii WAS thought Treworgy
might be indicted as an accessory after
the fact, but the indictment Yor murder
came AS surprise.
Tho Ware case has for four years baf-
fed State Ulcers and a score OF detec-
tives. Sarah Ware was a prepossessing
woman, about 80 years of age and, so
far as known, had no avowed enemies.
Her disappearance was noticed several
days before the body was found. The
body was In a somewhat decomposed
condition, and the skull was fractured.
No action WAS taken In the matter un.
Ill the following January, when young
Fogg made a statement to the Hon.
William L. Haines, at that time attorney
general, to the Effect that he had assisted
Fregworgy In carrying the body Of the
dead woman to the field where 1t was
found. Treworgy was arrested, but on
the following day young Fogg denied
his statement, and the grand Jury failed
TO find an indictment against Treworgy.
There the matter rested for some time,
until Treworgy himself announced that
he WAS determined to seek complete vim
dication. He hired the town hall 10
Bucksport and addressed a big crowd of
citizens on the case, req affirming his inno-
cence and calling for subscriptions to
aid 10 clearing up the matter. With the
small amount of money which he re-
ceived from this source, and from his
own pocket, he hired detective, named
Haskell, from Haverhill, Mass, but the
result Of the latter's researches apparent.
ly ended In nothing.
The next move Of consequence in the
case was made when the present county
attorney of Hancock county, Bradford
Tracy, took the evidence which he haG
collected before the grand jury, last
October. Several days were occupied IL
the examination at that time. In all, al
witnesses were examined, but the Jury
took no action at the session. When 1t be
gan It's deliberations for the spring term
last Tuesday, the attorney general was
present, and the investigation OF the
case was resumed. 1t has occupied since
Thursday noon, and was not concluded
until Saturday, when the jury made it,
report.

The Enforcement Issue.

A correspondent Of the Bangor Com
mercial thus outlines, it appears to US
truly, the leading political issue in Cum
berland county:
"a little, tired out, feeble-looking
man, with fast whitening hair, and u
white moustache, is beyond all dispute
the greatest issue there is in this county.
Liked and hated believed In, and op-
posed, honored, and disliked to degree
almost astonishing, the sheriff of this
county is living issue in this campaign.
Sheriff Pearson is unique personality.
He stands out from among the men of
this city and Is leader of men. He is
the most talked about man in this state
today, and of course knows it. He re-
ceives hundreds Of letters every month,
and is in touch with thousands of people.
He knows perfectly well that he may
not be nominated by any party, because
there is strong opposition to him in his
own ranks, but he also knows that he
may be nominated by the Republican
county convention and in any case that
he will be strongly supported. Possibly
nine out of every. ten politicians here
believe that he will be reelected, and the
tenth man is willing to admit that he Is
candidate to be dreaded.
This great personal and official popu-
larity he has won by the simple process
of keeping his word. He said he would
make Portland 'dry" and he has. He
said he would drive the traffic out of
sight, and no business was ever more
completely hidden away than is the
liquor Sic in this city at this time.
He said he would drive the leading liquor
sellers to the Jail, or out Of business, and
many of them are now facing fines they
will find 1t hard to pay, and at the same
time to escape financial ruin. He has
kept his word.
The Republican leaders admit that IL
they do not nominate Sheriff Pearson
they must place in nomination some man
known to be strongly in favor of en-
forcement. In other words the policy
of Sheriff Pearson must be continued,
even II the duties of the office are dis
charged by straight Republican.
There can be no disputing the fact that
Sheriff Pearson has won great personal
victory. He is very likely to succeed
nomination or no nomination.
