she was virtually forced into the mar
riage by her father who was an invalid
and in necessitous circumstances at the
time. For the first four years of their
married life this pair lived at Whitehall
and Sandy Hill, N. Y, and at Spring
field, VT, and the husband is now under
the wife not having seen him during the
past five years. 1t was another choking
and kicking case, with variations and
the court did not take much time to
woman divorce. There are no children.
The case entitled In re will of Isabella
Tulley, Edward NJ. Tulley ct al, con-
testants, appellants, which had been as
entered continued, thus shortening the
term by about week Attorney La
Fleur for the proponents wanted to have
the continuance given on terms as to the
costs should follow the suit
This closed the business for the day
and at 10 As o'clock recess was taken
to p. m. on Monday.
During an intermission on Saturday
States Attorney Russell filed the fol-
lowing informations in addition to those
reported last week: State VS.. Joseph
Rivers of Middlebury, adultery; State vs.
i'll e
particeps crimus with Rivers, adultery;
State VS.. Don Henry Davis, forgery. this
young fellow being a stranger in these
parts and supposed to be native of the
island of Malta and his alleged illegal
transactions occurring in business mat
tiers entrusted to him by j. W Ketcham
now United States prisoner in the Adj
olson County Jail as participant in the
wrecking of the Nergennes National

When court re-convened at 2 o'clock
Monday afternoon Mr. Russell filed
another information and the case was
State VS.. Robert McGilon of Rochester,
who was charged with having illegally

was thrown out of court on the recon-
mendation of the States Attorney the
prisoner pleaded guilty and was fined
500 and costs, under the statute. He
made arrangements to pay it which he
finally did and was discharged
After the breaking down of the first
three jury cases started up to date
another one was set to going early Mon
day afternoon. This was entitled Mary
j. Pond VS.. the executor of Adelia G..
Ponds estate, growing out of the famous
will case which was decided at the last
December term of court in favor of
Judge Asabel II. Hubbard of Whiting
and collateral legatees. the will in his
favor being sustained by the jury and
no appeal having been taken. Mary
j. Pond was stepdaughter of Adelia c.
Pond and had lived in the house with
her stepmother for about six years
between the deaths of her father and
her stepmother, Miss Pond, who is
60 years of age and according to the
testimony did good deal of hoeing and
digging on the farm was left out of her
stepmother's will entirely and brought
this suit to collect some six years wages
at from 81 to $3.50 per week OF course
in case she should prevail the result will
: be virtually against the interests of Judge
| Hubbard as the amount of the judgment
would have to come out of the estate
should that be sufficient which is more
than doubtful. 1t was evident at the
: outset that a stiff contest was going tC
be waged which could easily be judged
from the quality of the attorneys EN-
, ployed. James B. Donoway of Middle
bury and Frank L. Fish of Vergenne'
were on the plaintiffs side and William
f II. Davis of Middlebury and 7. w
o Moloney of Rutland were the counse
for the defense.
: This case was started at 2:35 Monda,
< afternoon with prospect of lasting a
0 least a couple of days and with SOM
q strong legal tits in prospect.
