he was there. That night did not think
an inquest was necessary, but next morn
ting inquest was held Ia Mr.. Fellows

of the Jaw bone was brought from the
tomb. selectmsn Hall accompanied him
to the place where body was found and
to the Miles house. Treworgy held
light tor him to search trunks by.
From what was told that night IL did
not seem to me that an Inquest was neecs-
sary. Next morning from the talk with
people, decided that one would be nee
sssary. Found cheroot in the water
proof when he searched II In tomb. It
was broken In two. Saw no blood on
womsn's clothes.
Re direct-Ths information that se-
cured on Sunday night was all furnished

A. W. MOONEY.
Bueksport; went to place where body
of Sarah Ware was found on afternoon Of
Oct. 2. Saw body placed in box and taken
out. Box was lugged out to team. Had TO
be- carried a distance of fifteen PAGES to
reach team; team was at edge of sIders.
Found place for team to go TO point where
It reached. Was a fence, but rails lay on
ground when came to IL, and they only
threw them aside out OF the way OF the
team. Reason for putting them aside
was that wagon was light and it was
feared that iolting over them would break
springs.

police officer and constable in Bueksport
many years. Recently visited place
where the body was found, and found
