A Saco resident, Bradley M. Fletcher, was bound over to the January term of the Superior Court in Biddeford Municipal Court after pleading guilty to cashing a $25 forged check in Arundel. Chief Deputy Sheriff Albert J. Merryman brought the complaint, and Judge Simon Spill issued the sentence. Fletcher was released on $500 bail. Bedard, Leo Paul, 29, of Arundel, was fined $500 after being found guilty of shooting and wounding a dog owned by George Martel and testified that Bedard warned Martel to keep the dog at home or the dog would disappear. Dr. William P. Mackenzie testified the dog had four shotgun pellet holes and was a shotgun wound. Judge Spill warned that one cannot take the law into his own hands and upheld Bedard’s guilt based on Martel, Mrs. Martel, and Dr. Mackenzie testimony. Mrs. Bedard testified for the defense.
