family had forsaken her was alluded
to and the counsel for the defence
said that Mrs. Miles story in this case
should be accepted as true. The
State had asked Treworgy why he
had taken no more interest in the case
than he had and Mr.. Fellows asked
why Mr.. Bulduc was not asked ina,
question, too. The reason why these
men had not devoted themselves 10
the pursuit of Mrs. Wares murderer
was because they had to earn their
own living.
Then Daniel F. Davis, Samuel Con-
nors and Elliott c. Dill, who have been
witnesses at the trial, were scored py
Mr.. Fellows. He took up the story
of the witnesses who said tney nau

has presented testimony that the BODY
of Sarah Ware laid in Swasey's Held
for some days, but has presented no
testimony that any signs OF biood hau

woman is supposed to have laid. Ihe
prosecution ignored that important
fact.
Mr.. Fellows argued that it was not ac-
cording to common sense to ask any one
to believe that if the woman had beeh
murdered in the Swasey field blood would
not have been found there. Had she been
killed on Saturday and been lying from
that time to Tuesday or THURSDAY as

He called attention. 10 the impropa nli-
ity of Treworgy having driven into the
Miles lane and into the Nicholson pasture
on such a dark night without lantern
and the improbability of Treworgy asking
assistance of Fogg to move the nouy ont en-.
Treworgy moved the body to the SWasey
fielo alone. He asked if it was propap.e
that Treworgy would have selected FogS
to assist in such a thing anyway. MI
Fellows said the reason Fcgg hal
changed his story from Tuesday TO
Thursday as the time he had helped ire
worgy move the body was because FogS
had learned that Treworgy, with his fam
iIy was at the Bluehill fair on Tuesday
Mr.. Fellows then contrasted the reputa-
ton of Fogg with the reputation Oh >. r.

that told by Fogg. He contrasted the rep
utation of Mrs. Fogg with the regulations
of Recorder Remick and ex-County At

detective, had drawn up. in which state

Treworgy. MIR. Fellows pointed out the

Then Mr. Fellows about Geo. Viles be-
ing seen going into the Nicholson pasture
and said this fact pointed to him as the
guilty party.
At this point a sensation was created
by Mrs Nancy NJ. Clark, the mother of
George Viles, jumping up in the court
room and shaking her fist at Mr.. Fellows
while she exclaimed that "she would not
sit and hear anything said about George
Viles" Her friends tried to keep the old

until an officer went over and Quilted
her.
Mr.. Fellows proceeded to point out the
evidence against Viles. He called atten-
ton to the fact that the day before the
murder he had a club made with a loaded
end in Bucksport; that he had threatened
Mrs. Ware and Mrs. Niles. and that when
the case was re-opened he had gone to
Boston and afterwards to South Africa.
Mr. Fellows will finish his argument in
the morning.
