ON QUESTION OF REMOVAL
OF han COCK CO. SHERIFF

Lombard of Bridgton. Rupert H.
Baxter of Bath, Leroy r. Folsom of
Norridgewock. James J. Clement of
Montville, William S. Owen of Milo
and Robert J. Peacock of Lubec.
This proceeding is taken under an
amendment to the constitution Civ
ing the governor and council the
right to remove delinquent sheriffs,
which was adopted by the people at
a special election in September,
1917, by a vote of 29,5S4 to 25,416.
Under this law, Sheriff White of
Penobscot county, was removed dur
ing the first administration of Gov.
Carl F.. Milliken. The complaint
that Sheriff White failed to en-
force the liquor law was filed by
Attorney General Guy II. Sturgis of
Portland. now an associate justice of
the supreme judicial court, who con-
Quoted the prosecution. Sheriff
White was represented by Ex-At-
torney General William r. Pattan-
gall of this city and Edward p.
Murray of Bangor as counsel.
The second trial under this con-
stitutional amendment took place in
October. 1921. when charges were
preferred against Harry d. Cole of
South Paris sheriff of Oxford coun-
ty, that he permitted games of
chance to be played at several coun-
ty fairs. After an all day hearing
Sheriff Cole was acquitted.

Find Lost Bishops
Grave i'm Peking

Picking. Oct. A CA. P.)-The body
of Bernadin della Chiesa, first
Christian Bishop tof Peking, who
died December 81, 1921, has been dis
inferred and reburied with fitting
ceremonies at Hungchialou, suburb
of Tsinan. after, being lost for two
centuries. ~
Bishop della Chiesa was born May
8, 1914, at Venice where he later
Joined the Franciscan order. He be-
longed to the "a same, family as the
late pope, Giacomo della Chiesa
This relationship was largely re-
sponsible for the efforts to locate
the grave of the bishop. according
to articles in Chinese papers.
When della. Chiesa became bishop
of Pekiug there was bitter conten-
ton between the Jesuits on one hand
and the Dominicans, Franciscans
and other orders on the other. AS a
result of the strife. so the story
goes. Bishop della Chiesa did not
reside In Peking but lived at Lint
sing, where he died. He was buried
in a large Christian cemetery four
and half miles south of the city
The headstone and oratory at the
grave disappeared: the mound SAM,
and became neglected. and all trace
Of tue burial place was. lost.

$500 For Driving
While Intoxicated

-Four hundred dollars and costs,
was the sentence meted out to Erwin
L. Biggs in the Belfast municipal
court by Judge Carleton Doak, for
driving an automobile while I'M
der the influence of intoxicat-
ing liquor. Mr.. Biggs was ar
rested following an accident when
his car went over an embankment on
Bridge street, while he was driving
with another man. He was given a
hearing on Nov, 9Th in which he
pleaded not guilty to the charge OF
intoXication and also to driving an
automobile while intoxicated On the
first chargA he was convicted and
sentenced to pay fine of 500 and
costs and he appealed. On the Sec
ond charge the case was continued to
Nov. Sth. The second hearing re-
suited in his retracting his plea of
not guilty to driving while intoxicat-
ed and pleading guilty, while on the
first charge he withdrew his appeal,
retracted his plea and plead guilty.
His total fines and costs amounted to
$423.27, which he paid and was dis
charged. 1t is the highest fine yet
imposed in this court for such a
charge but Judge Doak some months
ago warned car drivers that he
should give them no quarter If they
violated the law

All the preliminaries have been
arranged and the stage is all set for
the hearing which will begin before
the Governor and Council at 10
o'clock next Friday morning on a
complaint that Ward w. Wescott of
Bluehill. sheriff of Hancock county,
has neglected to enforce the pro-
hibitory liquor law in his county.
The complaint in the case was filed
by Attorney General Ransford w.
Shaw and Mr.. Shaw will conduct
for the prosecution. Sheriff Wescott
will lac represented by Ex-senator
Charles IT. Wood of Bar Harbor and
Carroll n. Perkins of Waterville as
counsel.
1t seems to be the impression that
the hearing will last a couple of days
at least. 1t is understood that the
prosecution has summoned SO or so
witnesses and that quite number
of witnesses have been ordered to
appear here in behalf of the defence,
the claim of the defence being. it is
assumed. that Sheriff Wescott did
all that he could possible do to see
that the liquor law was enforced in
Hancock county. 1t is also assumed
that there will be number of
character witnesses who will testify
to the good rcpute of Sheriff Wescott
in the community.
The hearing will probably be held
in the hall of the House of Rep
reSentatives as was the case in 1918,
when n hearing was given to T.
Herbert White of Bangor sheriff OF
Pcnobscot county, on charges that
he did not enforce the law in his
county. =
1t is not known whether or Aot any
evidence will be introduced by the
prosecution charging Sheriff Wescott
with mal-feasance in office, in
other words. of taking money and
in turn for that money giving pro-
gagged in the liquor business. The
general impression, however, is that
no evidence of this nature will be
presented.
With all the talk that used to be
made about grating" sheriffs II
is significant to note that no evil
dence of grating" was introduced
by the prosecution in the cases OF
Lewis w. Moulton. sheriff of Cum
herland county. Wilbert w. Elmer
son of Penobscot county, John w
Ballou OF Sagadahoc county, or T
Herbert White, sheriff of Penobscot
county. the four sheriffs who were
removed from office in the last IL
years for failure to enforce the pro.
hibitory liquor law
