 The Case of the State vs. Anna Davi came before Justice Gold at West Corn wall Aug. 24. No little excitement hal been raised hy this case, as the facts in it are peculiarly unpleasant, and th' parties interested in it are respectfully con nected. Franklin w. Hall, M. D., caused the arrest of Mrs. Davis, alleging in tn, complaint that he was afraid of losing hi life at the hand of defendant. Mrs. Davi is the motherin-law of Dr. Hall. and hal not been long in West Cornwall. Dr. Hall settled in the place last fall as prac- Using physician is graduate of the Yale Medical School, class of TT, is an ac- complished scholar, and was we'll received by the people of West Cornwall. Domes tic disagreement was the cause of the trou ble, and at the opening of the court Sat urday, Dr. Hall failing to put in an appear ance, the case was dismissed by the jus tice. It is universally regretted that the affair has assumed the prominence it has and all good people are pained at it's reef tai. This will probably be the last of it. and we trust that the hitherto quiet town of West Cornwall will regain it's accustom ed temper of mind, and that all mention ot it be stopped.
