During's Swedish Ladies' Quintette
organized and trained by Edward Dur
ing, noted musician of Stockholm, is
booked to appear at Plymouth church.
this city, Wednesday evening, May G.
This quintette has for the past ten
years, we are Informed, been consid-
cred by the best critics to be as near
absolute perfection as can be attained
Especial stress is laid upon the high
quality of the voices, the fine training
and percision of their singing, the ell
egant execution and well-studied en-
semble, and the surprising skill of
their unaccompanied renditions. AS
one critic says: "In these song produc
lions there lies, what is generally so
rare, a pure artistic intuition and an
especially wonderful discipline as Il
background, and they work in an artis-
tic unity which is flawless and brill
liant" Another critic calls them, ''an
art quintette which aims at beauty
of tone, richness of sound and delicacy
of shading" Another says, "They
would be an ornament to any prom
inent philharmonic concert Such
praise is very rare and shows better
than anything the artistic standing Of
the quintette. They sing in English,
Swedish and German. Mr.. Curtis G..
Morse, the popular entertainer, humor-
list and impersonator of Boston, will as
sist in the programme.
County Attorney +. H. Boardman
Tuesday notified Erwin & Mead, at
torneys for DR.. A. A. Ames, that the
first indictment which will be moved
against the former mayor when he
comes to trial before Judge Elliott next
Monday morning will be the sweeping
document which charges the receipt Of
a 5000 bride from "Gladys Barr,
Augusta Hayden, Nelly Resell, Bessie
Ferris, Sadie Bird, Ethel Ford and
others whose names are to the grand
jury unknown The decision was
reached after mature consideration of
all the indictments outstanding and
the evidence obtainable in each case.
The large amount of ground which the
indictment covers and the almost I'M
limited lines of evidence which it will
render available are believed to be the
reasons for it's selection by Mr.. Board
man. 1t lis also stated in court house
circles that the choice of this special
indictment for the opening fight will
mean the final decision of the Ames
cases in the first trial, as it lis the bill
which offers the best advantages to the
state and failure to convict would
reduce the chances Of conviction in the
following cases. Irwin A. Gardner is
supposed to be thoroughly familiar
with the facts lying behind this indict-
nlent. The facts have already been
laid before the grand jury and will, ac-
cording to Mr.. Gardner's statement, be
produced during the coming trial.
