Middiebury, who was reserved BY court
as sort Seeding or rallying point for
another panel of jurors, should it turn
out eventually that the Lorraine and
CherbnO cases, or rather one of them.
could be got to trial before the term
ends.
There was a good deal Of desultory
talk thereafter in regard TO various
cases, but the only matter Of consequence
brought on was a motion for temporary
almonv in the petition Of Sarah j. Vail
VS.. Phenner Vail for a separate main
tenance. This suit was entered only on
Tuesday, and as for the next June term,
and the motion for temporary alimOuy
was first made on Wednesday. Mr..
Mooney of Rutland made the motion for
Mr. Vail. and between him and judge
Bliss, who appeared for the husband.
there was considerable sharp sparrng at
odd times during the day, 1t finally
resulted 10 the decision of the court TO
hear testimony on the question of the
petitioners ability 10 pay alimOny tenn
porarily, and in order to accommodate
Mr.. MolOney, Judge Haselton worked
over hours. After hearing what both par
ties had 20 say on the matter the Court
decided to grant the temporary alimOny
and ordered MIR. Vail to pay $40 at once
and Sl5 each month hereafter until the
next June term of court. This is case
which will make considerable of a COM
motion when it finally comes up for
hearing. The parties belong in Orwell
and have been married less than five
years, during more than four years of
which time the wife has lived apart from
her husband and Judge Bliss asserted
that she had no standing In court, as the
husband had right TO divorce from
her on the ground of desertion. There
is one child, a bright and pretty little
girl of four.
1t was after six o'clock when the court
took recess to Thursday morning.
Thursday morning was a very busy
time in court and the session lasted up
TO II 40 o'clock. Many final entries of
cases were made on the court and chanc-
cry dockets, as well as numerous tenta-
tive ones. On the criminal calendar all
the remaining cases were disposed of in
one way or another. Most of these were
cases in some way growing out of the
Illegal traffic in intoXcants, of which a
dozen or so were mol pressed, one con-
tinued, and several referred to a special
hdctcI-in-tHduCtI1 Ooei y. DdhtI, lut
answers to be filed and the cases heard
before the LIST day of February next.
The cases against Mary j. Cherbins
and Joseph Lorraine were finally mol.
pressed, as the states attorney had not
yet received the expected proof necessary
to convict them.
The case against Edward Barton was
continued on account of the physical
condition of the respondent.
AT the opening of the afternoon session
the respondents, Walter Whittemore and
Bertha Martha Martell, who some days
before had been arraigned in court and
pleaded guilty to Information charging
them with adultery, were brought up for
sentence. In behalf of both of them it
was stated by Lawyer Thomas, who had
been assigned for the defense, that about
four years ago Mrs. Martell had been
driven from her home by her usband,
and that Whittemore had not enticed her
away. There are two children, about
