Roy L. Pease, for the past few weeks
held in the Waldo County jail to await
the action of the Grand Jury at the Sep
TENDER term of the Supreme Judicial
Court, was taken to Bangor Saturday for
observation at the Eastern Maine General
Hospital. His family have expressed
the opinion that he was insane and that
they feared him. Later Sheriff Cushman
began to doubt his sanity and after con-
sulting with other officers it was thought
advisable to take this course. His stoical
appearance at the trial in the Municipal
Court led several to express the opinion
that he was insane.
Mrs. R. w. Husband, who has been or
ganizing Home Service work in New
Hampshire under the auspices of the
American Red Cross, spoke in this city
Friday afternoon in Memorial Hall, a
large audience being present. She ex-
planned the idea and the necessity of
getting together a strong committee to
carry on the work of the Home Service
of the Red Cross, and especially the need
of now getting in touch with the men
who 60 in the draft, and also with regard
to the insurance that the Government
holds out for them. She urged also the
keeping in touch with the families of the
soldiers while they are away, and to as
slst them in any way possible. She stated
that this assistance is by no means char
ity, but simply the duty of the country
in caring for it's soldiers families who
need it, and who would not otherwise
need it were their men at home. She
also stated that this section of the Red
Cross is going to develop into its greatest
work after the war is over, for then the
of the troops will be a
serious consideration, and the majority
of the work will be in rehabilitating the
men in industrial life, so it behooves us
to keep a long lookout ahead for that
phase. The families outside should also
keep in touch with the Home Service
here Rev. Walter T. Hawthorne is
chairman of the Belfast committee. The
assistance of lawyer and a doctor is
needed on the committee, and it is prob
able that it will be re-organized in the
near future, as Mr.. Hawthorne has been
doing the greater part of the work alone,
with tho ovocufiuo rouo.
