SUPERIOR COURT
Verdict of Guilty in Case of
State VS.. Edward Jenness of
Augusta-Case of State VS..
Foster Nelson Continued

The case of State VS. Foster Nelson
of Clinton, charged with arson, came
to an abrupt halt shortly after the
opening of Tuesday mornings session
of the superior court when Mrs. Alice
Reagan of Clinton, one of the wit
nesses for the defense, testified upon
the witness stand that She had spoken
to Henry D. b. Aver of Nassalboro,
foreman of the jury. regarding the
case. She testified that she shook
hands Monday with Mr.. Aver, as they
belonged to the same church, and she
had told Mr.. Aver that she had had
the Ivy, Clarence Bragdon, since he
was two weeks old.
Upon the motion of County Attorney
W. H. Fisher the jury was excused by
the court from any further hearing of
the case and the case was continued,
the respondent furnishing bail in the
sum of $4,000 for his appearance at the
April term of the court.
Regarding the matter Judge Beane
said in substance that while he had no
criticism of the jurors and believed
them all to be honest men yet anyone
could not tell what minor influences
might affect the jurors, and he said
that although the witness had spoken
to the juror through ignorance, the
simple statement of the witness to the
juror concerning the case was abso-
| lutely wrong, and the witness by her
ignorance had complicated matters. He
said that he was of the opinion that
the rights of the State and of the re-
spondent might be hazarded by what
had been said.
