QUEER LEGAL TANGlE
Follows Death of Stenosrapher c. W.
Small in This CITY.

Legal circles in Maine. and particu-
larry over in AndroScoggin county. are
interested over what disposition will be
made OF the cases marked for the law
court, which We're tried at the Janu-
airy term of the supreme court in An
burn. Justice A. II. Savage presiding
and the late Chas. w. Small. official
StcnOgrapher
MIR. Small died at the Augusta CITY
hospital ri appendicitis while in this
city in attendance upon the water
hearing. His death occurred before
he had time to write out his notes on
several important cases. Among them
is the first criminal case against Rev
F. w. Sandford. leader of the Holy
Ghost and Us Society. for cruelty to
his son, John sanford. A verdict of
guilty Was rendered, and exceptions
taken. Another case was that Of Kill
gore vs.. Hartford, which is known as
the Lewiston school whipping ease.
And still third important case is
that OF lollell IS. The International
P:tDcr 90. Wherein Il verdict Of $1,000
was returned for the plaintiff for the
loss Of an arm. In all there are said
To he eleven cases in which the short
hand notes are not written out.
Since his death Nh Small's father
and brothers, all being expert stenog-
rapherS. nave attempted to translate
his notes, but they have been obliged
to give il up. While the family write
practically the same system, MI Small
had adopted many signs of his own in
ventiOm. and their meanings are OBJ
scurr to anyone else. Attorneys in these
cases have been notified to be present
1T the December term of the law court
which will convene in Augusta, next
Tuesday. At that time il viii be de-
cidrd what disposition Will be made of
these cases. New trials may be or
dercd 50 as to get the evidence again.
or some other method of disposition
may be adopted. Agreements in some
of the cases may have been reached
without further litigation. Mr.. Small
was one of the best Supreme court
stenOgraphers in New England. His
books We're an example of ntatnesS.
Every line Was so perfect as to have
