Rome Camp Owner
Found Not Guilty
On LIQUOR Charge

At a continued hearing Wednes-

Watson, proprietor of the Watson
Pond cabins in Rome, charged with
single sale of quantity of hard
cider, Judge Robert A. Cony In mu-
nicipal court adjudged the respond
ent not guilty and he was released.
The case was the result of disturb
ance at the Watson camps about
week ago, when guests became quar-
relsome after having imbibed or the
cider beverage, and deputy sheriffs
were called to straighten things out.
At the preliminary hearing it de-
veloped that Mr.. Watson had gone
with one of the people staying at MS
camps to purchase the cider, and
his counsel, Frank @. harrington of
this city, raised the legal point as
to his acting as agent in the transac-
ton. In dismissing the case yester-
day morning, Judge Cony warned
against such a practice as Mr.. Wat
son had been connected with.

County Attorney Frank E. Southland
of Augusta returned last night from
two days trip into Canada in an en-
deavor to bring back for trial a part
OF notorious automobile thief gang.
On June Is last at Waterville, E. z.
Pouiin of Watervil1e had stolen from
his garage a Hudson coach automo-
bile. AS one Joseph Mercier had been
interested in the car, he and Elise
Mercier were suspected. Several days
later the couple came to Waterville
and were put under arrest. As 1t was
not convenient to try the case at that
moment the Merciers asked for an op-
portunity to arrange for bail. An Off
Ger accompanied them to a bail COM
missioner's office and as they did not
come out in a short time the officer
went into the lawyers Office. Before
the officer entered, the couple, after
having apparently left the commits
sioner's office, hid themselves in a toi-
let, and as the officer stepped into the
main office the Merciers slipped out
and hired taxi to take them to Ban
gor.
Later, through the efforts Of Mr..
Poulin and City Marshal Haskell of
Wateryille, the couple were apprehend-
GU ~ ANANAcio Qu Aoupr tRucuSC, SdH-

up and asked to give very substantial
bail. which was not Forthcoming.
Tuesday Mr.. Southard, accompanied
by Deputy Sheriff Frank Lessor and
Attorneys Dubord and Laterneau of
Waterville, went to Canada to make
arrangements for the surrender of the
Merciers so that they could be brought
to Maine for trial. Matters were pro-
ceeding nicely and it was expected
that shortly the party would be on
it's way to Maine with the fugitives.
The county attorney apparently had
not reckoned with his host, neither had
the Canadian officials; for late Tues
day night Joseph Mercier made his
escape from the Jail at Riviere du
Loup and is now at large again. Mrs.
Mercier, however. did not get away
and the authorities expect to have her
deported at an early date.

advised Of the wanted mans escape.
