Sheriff Carleton makes further ex-
PLANTATION to the attack upon him in
the Waldo County Herald under date
Of Sept s. 1910.
On the 18th day of March, A. d.,
1910, Horace D. Ellingwood of Winter
port, applied to me for trustee writ
against Joseph Perkins of Winter
port, and the Bangor Savings Bank
Trustee. I made the writ on that date,
returnable to the October term of the
supreme judicial court in the county
OF, Pen0bscOt. 1t was necessary to
make the writ returnable in that coun-
II as the trustee was located there.
THIS writ was served on the Bangor
Sayings Bank Trustee, on the 18th day
Of April A. D., 1910, at o'clock, A.
NJ, b. Roscoe p. Garland, deputy
sheriff Of PenobscOt county; as appears
by his return on the writ now in my
possession. Afterwards l was inform
ed that there were three deposits In
the Bangor Savings Bank of men by
the name of Joseph Perkins, with diff
ferent MIDDLE initials, and that the
treasurer of the bank stated that he
could not hold back either Of the &C
counts on trustee writ against Jo-
seph Perkins | was also informed
that the correct name of Joseph Per-
kfns OF Winterport was Joseph P. Per
kins, and that his deposit in the Ban
gor Savings Bank was in that name.
The writ was good against Mr.. Per
klns with the initial omitted. but I
was doubtful whether the bank could
be held as trustee on this writ, and
for this reason alone l made new
writ against Joseph p. Perkins, and
the Bangor Savings Bank Trustee, on
the 2lst day Of April. A. D.. 1910. On
the 800 dny of April A. D., 1910. the
Bangor Savings Bank was released and
discharged as trustee in the first suit
by serving notice as required by stat
ute, and on the same day the new
writ against Joseph p. Perkins and
the Bangor Savings Bank Trustee was
served on the Bangor Savings Bank
by Roscoe p. Garland. deputy sher-
if, as appears by his return thereon.
