In the Bobo divorce case yester-
day Attorneys Johnson and Sullivan
had to handle the more delicate NOR
sells of evidence with tongs. II all
that was said was true, both of the
parties to the unhappy marriage had
been very disregardful of the propri-
eties of ordinary decency. Both ap-
peared as defendants, made so by
cross-complaints. Jerry Bobo had
provided Attorney Sullivan with
kodak snap shot of Mrs. Bobo in
hobo's arms and had given him some
very damaging letters to the unfaith-
ful wife's case. Mrs. Bobo was not
without shame, however when she
confessed these evidences against her
character. Here 1t was thought Jerry
would get verdict, but he was DOOM
ed to disappointment. He lost the
case with a hundred dollars alimony
and wound up In jail This shocked
his friends and was complete sur
prise to him. The proverbial bad
luck that follows married bliss around
saw mill camps appears to have en-
tered into the lives Of these unfortu-
nate people who had promised to love
each other. Since all the stories q.
their neighbors were told. neither of
them is looking for congratulations.
and their friends feel both surprised
and injured. One Of the spectators
observed Just as soon as I
seed one feller a-lyin' know'd 1ust

Such Will Be Brainsrd's
Defense
PEARSoN'S men
Have Much Evidence Against
Dealers

Portland, Me-, May 9,-The superi.
or court grand jury has convened for
the May term and the indications
point to one Of the busiest sessions in
many months.
Among the more important mat
ters to he considered by the grand
jury are the murder cases of Clifford
Mosher, who was killed at Gorham in
January, and Isaiah II. Farnham of
Wellesley. Mass, who was shot by
George II. Brainard at the N T.. Tel
ephone Company's building here two
weeks ago.
The killing Of Mr.. Farnham by
Brainard is admitted, but the defence
will probably advance plea of insan-
ity and the prisoner will be taken to
the insane asylum at Augusta for an
exhaustive examination as to his
mental condition.
There will also come up for conSid-
GRAFTON great number of liquor cases.
Since the last term Of court Sheriff
Pearson's liquor deputies have been
usually active and have secured
great volume of evidence against the
dealers.
