Great interest is manifested in the
outcome of the case of State VS.. Fred
c. Blake of Boothbay Harbor, former
town treasurer, who was indicted for
alleged embezzlement of town funds
by the April session of the grand jury.
The case was opened in April before
a drawn jury with J. ID. Groves fore
man, but after only two witnesses
were called the case was taken from
the jury and referred to an auditor,
Justice King naming Lewis G. Whipple
of WaterVille. Blake furnished sure
ties in the sum of $4,000.
Considerable interest is also mani
tested in the Indictments brought
against five prominent citizens Of the
town of Bristol, last spring, charging
them with larceny in accepting funds
from the town not specially appropri-
ated for them to cover their expenses
in going to Augusta, during the last
session of the Legislature to oppose
in committee the petition for separat-
ing South Bristol from Bristol and
creating a new town from the segrega-
ton. The indicted men are Edwin w.
Fossett and Orrin A. Poland former
selectmen, Robert Fl. Dram, who was
candidate for State senator at the
June primaries on the Republican
ticket, Nathaniel j. Hanna, former
deputy fish warden, and Norris A.
Miller. superintendent of schools. The
charge is said to be simply technical.
