About This Item
Early Maine Murder Trial Gone Awry
An account of a murder trial in Malta, now Windsor, in the District of Maine. Paul Chadwick was a surveyor on what was then the northern frontier of Maine and in an area where disputed land titles were common. Chadwick was shot while conducting a survey by a group of landowners disguised as Indians. Despite fairly overwhelming evidence of the guilt of the accused, the jury found all not guilty.
