Spear Case Dominates Sagadahoc May Term Proceedings
In the Supreme Judicial Court the Spear case consumed much time this week as two juries failed to reach a verdict amid arguments over circumstantial evidence. Testimony covered the marriage allegations involving Ermine B Spear of Boston and D Howard Spear of Bath, with witnesses from Bar Harbor and Bath detailing relations, a posthumous infant, and contested marriage claims. The docket also included divorce hearings and a separate naturalization, with the term continuing into next week as witnesses and legal proceedings proceed.
