car to Waits River, the party leaving
Chelsea shortly before 9 o'clock in thu
morning. Deputy Sheriff George Tracy
who is also the county jailer, had th'
custody of Mrs. Felch and the jury was
in charge of Sheriff Reed and Deputy
| Sheriff McAllister. Deputy Sheriff Dear
born, Assistant Judge C. A. Adams and
Deputy County Clerk w. II. Sprague also
made the trip.
Obedient to instructions from the court
on the day previous, the jurors showed
marked Discrimination to discuss any
topic that might have a bearing on the
sober business in hand Nor did they
yield to a natural temptation to ask
questions once they had arrived at the
Felch farm Counsel for the respondent
r. NJ Harvey, A. G.. Fay and Hale X
Darling accompanied the jury, as did
Attorney General H. G. Barber and
States Attorney John c. Sherburne. 1t
was the task OF each side to point out
as the jurymen made their way over the
Felch farm such objects and places as
might be described by witnesses in ties.

Tense Agreeable to implicit directions
by Judge Butler the attorneys held
strictly to the prescribed line of ex-
PLANTATION and not once were they inter-
rupted by an inquisitive juror.
Upon their arrival in Waits River
they proceeded at once to the Lewis
Paine place, so called, small farm which
was owned by Joseph Felch and occu.
pied by Otis Williams, the young farm
hand now serving a life sentence at
Windsor for completely in the murder of
his employer. Since it is a matter of
common knowledge that the two farms,
the Paine place and Felch's homestead,
are closely linked in one phase of the
history of the case, much interest seems
to have been manifested in the descrip-
ton of locations peculiar to the house
where Williams, with his girl wife and
baby, lived during the months immedi-
ately preceding the strange tragedy in a
little sugar house less than a half mile
from Felch's home.
Once they had turned their backs on
the Paine place, with all of its alleged
associations with the crime, the jurymen
were escorted to the Felch homestead,
there to remain until conception of
the ground plan of the premises had been
gained by each of them. To degree, it
may be said, the farm where Joseph
Felch labored and met his untimely end
has gone to seed since that fateful Eas-
ter eve in 1916. John Felch, father of
the victim and a man of years, was APP
pointed administrator of his sons estate
and upon him has devolved the duty of
looking after the property. Last fall he
harvested the crops and has been more
or less active in planting there this sea-
son, but the farm has been without
tenant and in the eyes of the jurors, all
of whom, probably, saw the grounds for
the first time yesterday, it must have
presented an appearance of neglect as
an inevitable result of the non tenancy.
The house is unoccupied and except for
an accumulation of farm machinery the
barns are vacant. There was an uncanny
air about the empty buildings and I'M
ioubtedly the visitors quilted the prem
ises gladly in mid -afternoon.
The Felch farm lays on rolling land
