place she could be put where she would be
certain of kind treatment, she would be
released on probation; but as there was no
certainty about it, she would no doubt be
better of Ia the house OF correction. She
was accordingly sentenced to that institu-
ton for term of not more than four nor
less than three years. States attorney for
the statei j. X. Darling for respondent.
DIVORCES.
The divorce cases at this term were rem
dered quite interesting by the fact that
Judge Stafford took a hand in the pro-
ceedings, and sharply questioned the petit
TONERS and their witnesses. In two cases,
this course OF proceeding brought out
! facts that compelled the dismissal of the
petitions. The cases so dismissed were
Addie j. Perkins VS.. Norman b. Perkins
and Minnie Sweet VS.. Harvey Sweet The
Hebb case from Wells River was apparent
ly close to the line. The petitioner testi-
| fed as to acts OF intimacy between his
wife and party who was present in court
as witness in the Nelson murder trial.
The judge thereupon called on that party
TO take the stand, but he was not then to
be found. The Wells River witnesses in
the murder trial were seated together in
one corner Of the court room as the di-
vorce case was being heard. As the petit
toner proceeded with his testimony, an
other OF them turned to his companions
and said, "By George, boys, this thing il
working my way" and proceeded to make
his escape from the court room by climb
ing over several seats.
The following divorces were granted:
Jennie l.. Gilmore; neglect and refusal
creed petitioner. Darling q Darling for
petitioner.
Jennie McGinnis VS.. VIM. j. McGinnis;
wilful desertion; custody of minor child
deereed petitioner, who is ordered to be paid
sl0 per month alimony. Darling q OAR
ling for petitioner

tolerable severity. Darling * Darling for
petitioner
Frank J. Titus vs. Bessie ]. Titus; intol-
cradle severity; custody of minor child
decreed petitioner. Darling & Darling for
petitioner
Mary A. Folsom vs. George f. Folsom.
This was the only contested divorce case
of the term, and, as the parties reside in
Chelsea, there was a big turnout to see
the entertainment The trial occupied
Tuesday afternoon and was expected TO
take up good part Of Wednesday; but az
the parties were able to come 20 an agree
ment as TO property matters, the pettionee
withdrew further opposition on Wednes-
day morning. The parties were married
IN 1877, and the testimony OF both sides
tended to show that there had not been
much peace for either since that time. A
bill was granted for intolerable severity.
George l.. Stow for petitioner; Darling a.
Darling for petitionee.
