The Somerset County Case.


Council yesterday. Some of the returns Of
the September election from tina, county came
to the Secretary's Office without being sealed,
and II these are not counted it 10 thought that
sioner and County Treasurer who have an
idea that they "btlong to the elect" are not
elected after all. But it is asserted also that
II the few unsealed votes are thrown ont the
result will remain unchanged. There Is
good deal Of difference between sealing the
return itself and nicely folding it up and put
ting it an envelope and sealing the envelope.
1t has been hard work to get the Somerset
people on the ground. Hiram Knowlton,
Esq, of Skowhegan, argued the case yester-
day for Greenwood and Dasconb, who claim
that they are severally chosen Commission
er and Treasurer. Some very important
points are involved in this case, and the coun-
cilors will give themselves further time be.

on election Of members Of Congress, county
officers and representatives to legislature,
with the exception of Somerset county.

that it was sought to deprive Mr. Chase Of his
estate by proving that Bowen was the Legitimate
son OF Madame Jumel; that the law OF evidence
states that an estate cannot be taken away
from person except upon the tes-
timony OF witnesses who swear of their own
knowledge in regard to certain facts. Mrs. Num-
ford did not know OF her own knowledge that
Madame Jumel had had an iegitimate son, and
any declaration to that effect even If Madame
Jumel said so, would not be evidence in this case.
His next objection was that the rule OF evidence,
which had come down to them from time i'm
memorial, was that the declarations OF persons
deceased could not he proved in that manner,
less the surrounding circumstances OF the case
tended to corr0borate the testimony of the wit
that woman who valued her reputation and good
name as Madame Jumel did a woman who had an
influential position OF wealth and pride in this
community, would declare that she had had an IL
legitimate child She would not give any one an
opportunity Of blasting her fair name and reputa-
tion by making any such declaration II George
not correspondent with him? Why had she not rec
ognized him? But she had never done so
