bunseI in Ware Case Leaving No
Stone Unturned.
Treworgy's Silence Leads to Belief He's
Principal or Innocent.

Bangor, Me-, June ia special to
the Commercial from Ellsworth says:
In Ellsworth Jail, ". T. Treworgy,
charged with the murder of Sarah
Ware, awaits his trial, which is to oc-
cur in July; and the public also is
awaiting the event with quietness and
yet with much interest. But i. would
not be fair to presume that there is
nothing doing in the case. The officers
of the State are working with great
energy and intelligence to get at the
truth, and those who ought 10 have
some information on the subject be-
lieve that when the trial arrives the
prosecution will be found to have
very strong case.
Since Treworgy was arrested it has
not been uncommon to hear a man say
They'll never convict Treworgy. He
may be the guilty man but they never
will bA able to show it," or similar
words Something, however, is chang
ing the public sentiment somewhat
Just Ehat is to the writer unknown 1t
is catain that some who in the past
have said that, while they were of the
opinion that Treworgy had some
kna;ledge concerning the crime, they
did not believe that his was the hand
TIM sent Sarah Ware to her eternal
slep, are changing their views some
Wat owing to the continued silence of
tb prisoner
OF course, if TreWorgy has no knowl-
algc of the case, as he has steadily
maintained, he cannot wei make any
statements in regard TO the guilt of any
other parties. ON the contrary, if he
has knowledge OF the crime, but had
no part in its actual commission, it is
argued that he wouldn't stand trial,
which might leave him in the position
Of principal, for me sake of shielding
any second party.
Under these circumstances the pub
lie is coming to believe. and quite nat
urally, that Treworgy is either a very
guilty man, who alone has knowledge
of the cause of the death of Sarah
Ware, or else is Il much abused and
very unfortunate man. Which view is
taken depends a great deal as to the
credence or lack of crcdence that is
given To the story of Joe Fogg. STORY"
in this instance means his first narra-
tive before FoGg began his itcrations
and reitcratiOns.
Just as the public view varies, ac-
cording to individual belief or disbelief
in the story of I'oeg, 50 it is probable
that the verdict Of the jury will hang
to a great extent upon the faith or lack
of it that is placed in the testimony of
Fogg. The defence will doubtless dis
credit the evidence of Fogg in every
possible way ana certainly has an adj
vantage in the fact that he has told
several stories.
1t is learned that fact recently
came to light that IS thought TO have
considerable bearing upon the truth Of
Fogg's story. In company with party
of gentlemen Fogg went to the spot
where Mrs. Wares body was found and
described the circumstances of his go
ing there after a neighbor had tcld him
that the body had been discovered.
Fogg showed the route by which he
had at once come to the spot from hisi
house. He was asked if he had beerl
told where the body was and deniei
that he had received any Information
but he had nevertheless come right 10
the place through the woods. The Site
claims that there are many such striws
that go to show that the first storytold
by Fogg was the truth, pure and SIM
pie.
But while the State has by no means
been idle. the defence has been Wsy as
well and ii is certain that suci acute
criminal lawyers as q. f. Fellows ESQ.,
and G. ]. lIutchns, ESD, will rave no
stone untmned to bring confuson upon
their opponents and open thedoors OF
Ellsworth jail to permit thei' 'nent 10
walk forth with his innoceRe proven
The defence has been iItus;riously
at work accommodating eviddce ana the
utmost confidence is eXfessed mat
there will be no difficult IN proving
that Joe FOgg is committpg perjury. 1t
is also rumored that the defence VIII
attempt to show that tire is at leasl
one party against whor the evidence
is stronger than that wlch can De az
ducrd against Treworg!
The trial of the cae VIII certainly
be i lengthy one ana ill probably oc-
,ury moro than n fttnight. although
Iusti,n Emery can IN trusted to eXpe-
ditr matters will alliue despatch. lhc
state viii have abot oo witnesses dIiu
therr win rrobablvbe as many for the
defence.
