THE HALE ENLIGHTENMENT.
How the Judge Hoodwinked the Town Auditors
Hearing. This Week.

Dover, Nov. 30.-Judge William r.
Whifehouse is expected to arrive here.
this evening. and preside at the hear
ing Of the Hale note cases and some
minor matters. AT the last term of
court there was not time to get the
evidence in and as it Is desired that
they go to the June law court Judge
Whitehouse agreed to hold an adj
journed session in November or De
cember.
There will probably be no new de-
velopments in the cases which will
probably not come up before the lat
ter part of the week as some minor
matters have to be disposed of first.
Some people think it would he better
for the town tn pay 10 per cent. Of the
notes rather than to fight them as it
would be much less expensive than the
years of litigation likely 10 result from
the refusal to pay.
An incident describing the way in
which Judge Hale used to have the
books audited. has been told recently.
When the auditors We're coming up the
judge would get a pan of apples and
some cigars and would greet them
very pleasantly. shake hands and bid
them fall to on the apples and cigars.
After an enjoyable session with
these someone would think it was near
dinner time and then the judge would
tell them he had looked over the books
and they We're all right. The auditors
would sign the books and go down to
