THE HALE NOTE GASES.
Eighty Thousand Dollars Involved In
Hearing in Progress at Dover.

Foxcroft. Deoem Der 3.-This mo rning
before Judge Whitehouse, the celebrated
Hale note cases were begun. Attorneys
Guernsey. Robinson and Cross appeared
for the plaintiffs aud Hudson and Par
sons for the town o f Foxcroft. No open
pleas were made. The first case was that
of Hartford Lovejoy of Sehec vs.. the
first given in eighteen hundred seventy
eight and renewed in 1883. Lovejoy be-
ing deaf and dumb the examinat ion is
difficult. This afternoon interpreter
was put on the stand TO interpret the
questions.
The verdict will be anxiously waited
as the sum of $50. 600 is involved. Judge
Elias i. Hale, during his term as treas
urer of Foxcroft for five years. embezzled
this sum for which he gave notes against
the town and this one being tried. is the
test case. 1t is probable that Judge
Whitehousa will not give a verdict but
send the cases up to the June term of the
law court.
After Hartwell Lovejoy finished his
evidence the q OXcfOfb IuWu Cl6rK, was
put on the stand and the warrants re-
turn transaction and qualification of the
town officers of the years eighteen hun
dred seventy eight and eighty-two were
put In. The town treasurer went on the
stand and read parts of Judge Hale's
cash accounts. The prosecution rested
here and Seleetman Vim. P. Cakes, the
man who exposed Judge Hale's crooked
transactions was examined. He read the
selectmen's and treasurer reports for the
above named years. Cakes was on the
stand two hours and half. Hudson for
the defence put in several records, which
will apply to all the GASES.
The next case was David Griffith, ex-
ecutor VS.. the town to recover $1,000 lent
by Hannah Griffith to Foxcroft.
During this case Guersney, one Of the
plaintiff lawyers, offered the book used
by Judge Hall to record the names of the
note holders and the sums of the notes.
Hudson objected to 1t.
He did 80 on the ground that 1t was
private memo, but Judge. Whitehouse
allowed it to be put in. The court here
adjourned till 8 90 lock Friday morning.

DIDN'T SETTLE WITH THORNTON
High School Foot Ball Finances in Bad
Way If This Story Is True.

The Bi1deford Record of last evening
had the following:
1t was week ago today that Thornton
Academy defeated the Portland High
| school eleven at football and put final
cllnch upon the Maine school champion
ship.
The Academy boys won the honors all
right. but there was something else,
quite as desirable as honors, which went
with the game and which has not yet
come into Thornton's possession.
Or course Thanksgiving offered the
best possibilitles.of the season in the way
Of gate receipts. 1t was quite question
with the Thornton eleven and their sup
porters whether they could make more
money by gaJne out of town than they
could at home. They needed all the
money they could get to square them
on the seasons expenses. Portland,
banking on the prestige of Thornton's
successful season, offered them $3.50 net
nave played in Saco for the same, but on
the whole the Academy boys included
that they could make more money by
playing in Portland than by playing on
the home grounds.
Articles of agreement were drawn up
with Portland by which Thornton was
to receive $3.50, win or lose. The stipula-
VlOA6 oGfo pAoAby WV5o WAeAUcnSA q aA
were morally binding.
Portland no doubt expected bigger
crowd of home people than attended the
game and asssHenry H. Burns sold tick
cts to the most of those who went in
from these two cities. the receipts were
rather disappointing to the Portland
team.
When the game was over Mr.. Burns
tried to get settlement with the Port
land management, but was unable to.
He was told that the team had no. money
and that the gate receipts had been at
tached by Coach McCarty, to whom the
Portland team owed about 5000 for SER
vices. The management promised to see
what they could do and the Thorntons
came away without the $3.50 which was
due them.
A week has passed and still the Port
land management has not paid Thorn
ton. The money is needed and while 1t
seams hardly possible that the Portland
team will leave their obligation unset
tied, it is very satisfactory to the
Thornton team, which has paid every
club its guarantee before it left the
grounds.
The sale Of tickets to those who went
In from these two cities amounted to
a little more than $50. This money might
have been held towards the guarantee
that Portland had given. but the otfio-
ials of the game had not been paid and
MIR. Burns paid out about $40 to them.
OF course Thornton will get it's guaran-
tee in the end. because neither the city
of Portland nor the Portland High
scohol can afford to violate sucn an
agreement, but thesmoney is overdue,
Thornton needs it and it ia most un-
satisfactory TO be kept waiting for it in
definitely heoause Portland High has had
a football season which has been any
more successful financially than it has
in contests.
