Before Judge for
Stealing Sheep

Maurice Adams of Canaan, was
brought before Judge Merrill, Tues
day forenoon, charged with shooti, :
sheep belonging to Louville Written,
a neighbor. Adams who was repre-
scented by H. ]. Phillips, Esq, waived
the reading of the warrant and plead
ed not guilty. Mr.. Written testified
that he had missed some sheep during
the summer. Elmer Adams, son of
the respondent, testified that about
the middle Of September he went
with his father on the so called Horse
Back road, leading from Canaan to
Clinton. and that when they arrived
at the Written pasture. he was left
in the road while his father went into
the pasture and brought back a dress
ed lamb wrapped in sack and that
his father said it was Whitten's lamb
and that he had shot 1t the night be-
fore. Asked why he had not told of
this before, the boy said he was afraid
of his father but was now Fl and did
not have to live at home.
The respondent testified that his
son was bitter against him. That it
was his son who brought home the
lamb. claiming he had bought 1t of a
Mr.. Goodridge. He also testified that
he had been convicted of a previous
offense and there was still another
case against him. A man by the
name of Stott, one of he neighbors of
! the prisoner, testified in his favor
! but his testimony did not have much
weight when it was found that he had
been convicted of crime. Probable
cause was found and Adams was
bound over in the sum of $1,000 to
| await the action of the Grand jury.
