EMIL PELLETIER'S
SIDE OF THE CASE

Emil Pelletier of New Auburn. who
recently was brought before the Au-
burn. municipal court charged with
violation Of the banking laws and
building and loan statutes, feels that
his side of the matter was not suffi-
GENTLY set forth in the reported his
tory of the case. He therefore makes
a statement giving his understanding
of the case as a whole.
In the first place, he was charged
with two violations of the Maine sta
tutes-first. of the banking law, and
second, of the loan and building law
He was charged with violation Of
the banking law in. that he had coll
lected money from Isaac Geodkowsky
to the amount of al. The second
warrant charged violation Of the loan
and building law. and at the hearing
this was decided to be defective and
a new warrant drawn in full detail.
At the hearing before Judge Man
ser, it was found that there was no
violation of the loan and building
law, and Pelletier was discharged on
this count.
On the first warrant, Judge Man
ser hold that the contracts which Mr..

Peuetier was selling for the New
Hampshire company, so far as they
related to the loan and build
ing law, showed no violation Of
either loan. and building or
banking laws: and Judge Manser
further stated in open court that if
the State could go ahead and file ex-
ceptions. he would find for the de-
PENDANT, as there was considerable
doubt in his mind that there had
been violation of the banking law.
But. as the state could not appeal,
and the defendant could, he would let
the case go forward 20 the upper
court for test.
Mr.. Pelletier was held in personal
recognizance only, no bonds being re-
CURED. Judge Manser took occasion
to state that he believed both Mr..
Pelletier and the company he repre-
sented We're acting in good faith, and
that no person who had bought q
contract had complained. 1t was
purely a Question Of whether the
banking law had been infringed upon,
and he had grave doubts Of this.
Therefore he would send the case to
,the upper court to get ii cleared up
He believed that both Pelletier and
the company acted within what they
believed were their legal rights

WARDEN JONES GETS
TWO DEER POACHERS

Charles w. Jones of China. chief
game warden for kennebec county
who has been stationed during the
game inspection season at Oakland
has recently made a capture Of deer
poachers. that reflects credit upon his
ability and efforts. The case was re-
ported late Thursday afternoon to
the Inland Fisheries and Game de-
partment as follows:
Trial Justice George W. Field Of
Oakland reports the payment Of fines
of $40 each and costs amounting to
S14.36 by Everett and Justus Wells
of Chestervilie on Dec. u for the lille
gal killing of two deer. They pleaded
guilty through counsel, not making
personal appearance'in court.
The Kennebec Journals Oakland
correspondent sends US the following
account of Warden Jones good job
in running down the poachers.
Chief Warden Charles w. Jones Of
Kennebec county received a message
last Sunday evening that two deer
had been killed in Fayette. He was
given the name of the man at whose
place the hunters left their horses
and with this information left Oak
land on the Monday morning train
for Readfield, where he secured an
auto and headed for Fayette to locate
the hunters stopping place. He
travelled some 10 miles and found his
man, living about a mile over in
Franklin county. The warden there
picked up the hunters trail, first 10
eating the line between Kennebec and
Franklin counties. He was able, in
spite of snow that had fallen and the
thaw, since the deer were killed on
Dec. 13, to follow the trail back over
the county line into Kennebec coun-
ty, through pastures, fields, over
stone walls and barbed Wire fences.
He was making good Roadway when
he encountered a hunter and with
him continued the trail through the
woods. finally locating the spot where
the deer was killed, on "The Neck"
so called, extending into Davids
pond. The place was firmly estab-
lished in Kennebec county, nearly / 4
miles from where the trail was
piCkeu up.
Learning the names of the men
who had killed the deer, they proved
to be two brothers by the name of
Everett and Justin Wells Of Chester
vile. Warden Jones continued his
journey to Chesterville in Franklin
county. where he found and placed
under arrest the two men, seized
what remained Of the deer and
shipped it to the department at Au-
gusta, to be sold for the benefit Of
the State.
THE young men acknowledged
their guilt through their counsel who
appeared on Dec. II before Trial
Justice George w. Field at Oakland
and entered a plea of guilty. Judge
Fields imposed fine of $40 each and
total costs amounting to $14.36. The
fines were paid.
