accomplish its repeal and render pun
ishment under it impractlcaDle. 10

given a hearing in Dover at 10 o'clock

Edgar s Smith of the Dover municipal
court The indications tonight We're
that Mr.. Woodbury's attorneys would
make every effort to induce the prose-
cution to disclose all the evidence that
has been secured in the case. 1t is not
expected that the defence will intro
duce evidence at this time but should
the case of the prosecution prove
strong enough to warrant holding
Woodbury., his counsel will ask that he
be admitted to bail

who has been the attorney for Mr..
Woodbury. for many years, Forrest
Goodwin of Skowhegan has been called
to the defence Of Mr.. Woodbury.. At
torney Goodwin arrived in FoXcroft
tonight and spent the evening in con-
sultation with Judge Brown.
In the event that a plea is made for
the admission of Woodbury. to bail it
is understood that counsel for the de-
fence will cite as a precedent the case
OF Mrs. Alice Cooper who was arrest
ed at South Windsor in October. 1905,
for the murder OF Charles Northey, Jr.
Mrs. Cooper was admitted to bail by
Judge Andrews of the Augusta NUM-
cipal court in the sum of $4,000, and
was never committed to Jail after the
preliminary hearing.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1908-02-25

Counsel for the defence may assert
that the State has no stronger case
against Woodbury. than it had against
Mrs. Cooper 1t is further declared that
should Woodbury. be kept in Jail his
health would suffer greatly and that
he might not live for a trial. The
heart trouble and rheumatism with
which he is afflicted are said to have
grown worse since his confinement in

quest of the defence, completed his
work tonight. He intends to remain
over until tomorrow. Neither Mr.. Ma
eratf nor the attorneys or the defence
would make public the result of his
investigation, but it was said that he
did not agree with the physicians who
conducted the autopsy in regard to the
condition Of the dead woman's throat.
DR.. William Buck and DR.. c. c.
Hall, who took part in the autopsy.
are said to have testified at the COR
oner's inquest that the fact that the
windpipe was not contracted indicated
that death was not caused by the loop
of rope Which was around the woman's
| neck.
DR. Magrath is understood to differ
with the Foxcrcft physicians on this
point, believing that death may have
been caused by hanging.
