Thibodeau's guilt, and stated that

an alibi for Thibodeau.
1t was brought out that Ford
truck belonging to the petitioner
was stopped at Winslow by Deputy
Sheriff Marcia Of Waterville at 500
P. M. on the date of the arrest,
and man named Poulin was ar
rested. The officer also got short
sack containing cans of alcohol,
but the driver Of the truck broke
away and went on to Waterville,
where the truck was driven into a
garage. Thibodeau contended that he
had allowed the use of his car to
Mr.. Poulin for use in his contract
ing business. Thibodeau. at the
time of the trial, testified that he
was in Augusta at the time, and
was notified by telephone that his
car had been left at the garage. He
further stated that he got Tetu,
taxi driver, to take him to Water
vile, where Thibodeau recovered
his truck and started back to Au-
gusta in it, being arrested as he
was leaving. This statement was
corroborated by Tetu at the trial in
April, and again yesterday.
Attorney Dubord introduced
County Attorney Frank z. Southland.
who stated that he had investigated
the matter, and that Poulin, who
was arrested at the time, afterwards
stated that Thibodeau was with him.
HE afterwards told parties that he
had got Thibodeau right and that
he had double-crossed him." said
Attorney Southland. Thibodeau main
tanned his innocence throughout the
trial. Attorney Southland intimated
that he considered it possible that
the wrong man had been sentenced.

Velma l.. Smith of Dover Foxcroft.
who is serving an indeterminate
term at the State school for girls
for the crime of adultery, was rep
resented by her father, Leeman
Smith, who asserted that conditions
at home make it very necessary that
pardon be granted. He said that
he has wife and three small chill
dren, and that Velma, who Is 10
years of age, could be of material
assistance in caring for the family,
as his work requires him to be alb
sent III hours of each day. He said
that the conditions which caused
her crime have been removed, and
begged that clemency be shown.

established at Puerto Cabezas and Rio
Grande Bar ito maintain the neutrali-
ty of the zone by preventing the send

formation by either side" in the fac
tional strife in that country.
'The admiral reported further" said
the department announcement, "that
all censorship on radio stations in the

direction"
Until the announcement was made,
state department officials had insisted
they were without information Of any
censorship, as charged by DIR. r. S.
Vaca, representative here of the Sa-
casa Liberal faction in Nicaragua.
Vaca called at the state department
today but was told by officials that
Secretary Kellogg could not receive
him inasmuch as he was not the rep
resentative of a government recog-
nized by the United States.
He said he called because he had
heard the department had not receive
ed the censorship protest which he de-
livered yesterday to a messenger In
Secretary Kellogg's office. He learn
ed, however, that his protest had
reached the secretary.
Vaca has been insisting for several
days that he could not get radio mes
sages through to his superior. at
Puerta Cabezas, and had been inform
ed that no radiograms/in code could
be transmitted.
In addition to informing the stats
department regarding censorship, Ad-
miral Latimer advised the secretary OF
