alfred F. Mahar of Calais, who had
been working for some time for James A.
Carleton of Winterport, was tried Mon
day forenoon before Judge Maurice W.
Lord of the Municipal Court on complaint
of MIR. Carleton charging him with break
ing and entering buildings where valuable
things were stored, with malicious in
tent to injure property. 1t appeared from
voked because Mr.. Carleton intended to
kill calf he had made pet of, and said
he would leave if the calf was killed. Mr..
Carleton paid him the wages due and he
left Wednesday. The Monday previous
he told William H. Collins, neighbor of
Mr. Carleton, that he didn't want that
calf killed, that it knew more than all
the rest f the stock put together, and
that if it ''is disposed of MIR. Carleton
will lose all the stock he has even if l
have to put tacks in their feed" He
used even stronger language in speaking
of the affair with Mrs. Carleton Just be-
fore leaving the house. Mahar was
brought to Belfast Sunday by Deputy
Sheriff Frank A. Littlefield of Monroe,
who had located him in Frankfort, under
the instruction of Sheriff Frank A. Cush-
man. He was placed in the county Jail
to await his trial. When arraigned Mahar
plead not guilty, but made no defen e.
Walter A. Cowan of Winterport, en-
ployed by Mr.. Carleton, conducted the
case for the State. Judge Lord found
probable cause and placed Mahar under
$1,000 bonds to await the action of the
Grand Jury at the September term of the
Supreme Judicial Court, and he was COM
mitted. Mahar had his discharge papers
dated April 80, 1918, having served two
years in the Canadian Expeditlonary
Forces. Little is known of him in this
vicinity.
