Tuesday morning the March term of
Supreme Judicial Court will open at the
court house at South Paris. The grand
jury is the one empaneled at the last
October term. The full list of traverse
jurors is given above. j. w. Crommett
of Norway, who is in this list, is i'll and
will not be able to attend.
No definite forecast can be given of
the amount of business to be done at this
term. No cases are definitely continued
for trial at this term.
s.. In the Everett murder case, the wit
nesses for the state have been summoned
to be present on the 10th, which is Mon
day of the second week. 1t is under
stood, however, that they have been iu-
formally told that if they are within call
they need not be in attendance on the
10th. No definite arrangements can be
made for the trial until after the grand
jury has finished its session, and if a
motion for change of venue is to be
made as has been suggested, that also
will not be in order until that time. 1t
is not impossible that the Everett case
may open some time next week.
A case entered at this term of con-
siderable interest locally is that of sthe
Norway Water Co. VS.. Paris Manufacture
ing Co. This is brought to recover
water rent which the Paris Manufactur-
ing Co. has refused to pay since the
price was increased, on the ground that
the rates were not reasonable. The
Norway Water Co. notified the
Paris Manufacturing Co. some weeks
since that its service would be dis
and went to considerable ex-
pense to fix things so that that service
could be cut off without affecting any of
the rest of it's system, but when the day
set came, the water was not shut off but
this suit was brought. An interesting
feature of the case is that as soon as
service was made on the suit, the Paris
Co. Immediately sum-
moned as witnesses the president of the
water company and the two men who
run the pump at the Norway shoe fac
tory. Presumably this was done to Sc
cure evidence regarding the alleged
pumping into the mains, on the 18th of
August, of water from the shoe factory
brook.
