they would plead guilty. At that time
five others pleaded guilty and paid $433
to the town treasury. Yesterday seven
of the remaining twelve pleaded guilty
and paid altogether $63225, while the
remaining five got another continuance
until next Wednesday at $3.50. This
continuance 1t was stated yesterday by

contest but simply to make prepara-
lions for settlement.
