There was hearing at the Bar Harbor
municipal courtroom Saturday after
noon, Ennis Wright having been arrested
on complaint OF Mrs. Jane Davis, charged
with having had improper relations with
Mrs. Davis granddaughte Marion Lis
combe. The parties all live at Otter Creek,
and the affair has occasioned good deal
of excitement and feeling in that vicin-
ity.
Wright pleaded not guilty and quite a
number of witnesses summoned by the
State testified at the hearing. Before the
State rested its case e. N. Benson, counsel
for the respondent, said that he would
waive further hearing, as he had under
stood that in any event Judge Clark
would not take jurisdiction.
The judge found probable cause, and
Wright was held in $500 bonds for his ap-
pearance at the April term of the supreme
judicial court. The girl In the case
Marion Liscombe, is between fourteen
and sixteen years OF age, and the case
thus comes under the special provision OF
the statutes. E. s. Clark appeared for the
State.
G. A. Weaver was before Judge Clark
Friday, charged with disturbing pub
assembly. The complaint was made by
George A. Joy, manager OF Music hall.
Tue offense complained of was committed
Tuesday evening, March "a at Music hail,
a. consisted of an alleged assault upon
Blithen Trip.
On the evening in question there was
en- entertainment at Music hall, consist
ing OF the production by the o ter Creek
Dramatic Co. of the drama mick OF the
Woods". The hall was crowded, and the
distur bance occurred as the audience was
leaving the hail at the close of the play
Several witnesses were examined on
both sides, and it appeared that blows
were exchanged before the row was
stopped by men in the audience
Judge Clark found the respondent
guilty, and fined him IS and costs. An
appeal was taken, and the case will prob
ably be tried at the April term OF the su-
preme court. E. S. Clark appeared for the
State; c. B. Pineo for the respondent.
