Wharton Aqain Held
.John F. Wharton, who was ar
raigned before Judge Atkins Friday
morning on a search and seizure
charge was found guilty and fined
$10(1 and costs and fit) days in jail and
in default of payment 60 days addi
tional. An appeal was taken and
bonds in the sum of $500 given for his '
appearance at the September term of
the superior court.
The trial had much of interest, es
pcially to those who remembered
Wharton's previous appearance and I
conviction. The defendant was rep- !
resented by Judge Benedict F. Maher
of Augusta while Countv Attorney!
Sanborn cared for the interests of the j
State.
Sheriff Robinson told of the loca
tion of Wharton's road and of the
search and discovery of a single
bottle of ardent spirits which was
cached near the pig pen. Foster F.
Tabli appeared to lie courting disas
ter by reason of his replies to Judge
Maher's questions hut for some un
known reason the attorney allowed
the witness to go the whole lur.gth
of his rope. Tabb told of the finding
of the bottle which was hidden under
a rock "12x10" inches in size, oh
jectinji-to Judge Mahers' designating
the size as "12x10 inches.” Asked
whether or not he had made threats
against Wharton. Tahli replied that
"that all depends on what you call
threats. I did say that if a man sells
liquor out my way and does not.xtup
I'll get him.” When asked if lie did
not say on the day before the search,
"We'll get him tomorrow." his reply
was "I do not remember." Deputy
Robinson. Chief of l’olice Dunn and
Mr. Tahb all testified that the bottle
presented about the same appear
ance in couid as it did on the day
when it was found.
The defendant Mr. Wharton made
an impression with his straight for
ward, clear cut testimony. He was
frank to admit that he bad sold liq
uor, telling the county attorney how
much he had purchased, paying $15 ]
per gallon for the liquor and $30 fos j
the alcohol. He said that he had :
promised to quit selling and had done
as ho agreed. Asked if he had looked
when the first seizure had been made
to see if the officers had secured all j
the contraband, he said that he had i
not. That the liquor in the bottle was !
apparently the same as the lot seized
and that the bottle was the same.
In his summing up Judge Maher
stated that Tabb had been the best
possible witness for the defense in
asmuch as lie had showed that the
bottle was admirably protected by
the rocks from the elements and that
it was reasonable to suppose that it
had been left behind from the first
lot. Attornev Sanborn claimed that
any man making a profit of a dollar
or two on a bottle would know how
many he had sold, how much he had
cached and how much, if any, the
officers had failed t.o find on their
first expedition. Even if the bottle
had been left behind from the first
search, which h« did not believe, he
said it was the duty of Wharton to
see that it was removed.

1 was so bad I would have a dull,
heavy feeling in the pit of my stom
ach; generally about three or four
hours after eating.
I saw advertised in the “Troy

Sen. Page, Vermont,
50 Years Public
Servant, to Retire
Hyde Park. Vf-rmont, August 2tk~~
Half a century of public service en
titles a man to a rest. I'nited States
Senator Carroll <s. Page, said today
in announcing that upon completion
or his present term in March 102.'!.
he would not i>e a candidate for re
election. He felt, he said, that lie
had done his full duty, adding that
he was the oldest member of the
Senate and that when his term ex
pired he would have entered upon
liis hist year.
‘ The time has come when home is
the dearest spot on earth, and I want
to spend the years remaining with
me back with my old friends in
Vermont,” he said.
The decision of Senator I’age was
not unexpected, le had been gen
erally understood for some time that
he felt he should not continue in
public office after his present term.
His health is good, however, and
many of his supporters had hoped
that he might be prevailed upon to
accept re-election in 1022. •
"It is fi2 years since, a representa
tive from Hyde Park. I first entered
public life" Senator I’age said in his
announcement. "While my official
service has not of course been con
tinuous. I have nevertheless been
actively interested in public affairs
all these years. I shall always be
proud of the generous aid that ha.T
made that ser'iee possible. I have
tried to give the best that was in
me. according to my opportunities,
for the good of the people who have
called me to serve.”
