peared In their behalf. Each was given
fiue of 500 and costs Of $1e.39 on the
nuisance. and in addition Cohen, who
had record of previous conviction, re-
ceivsd sixty days In jail. The other
matter was continued.
| Eva LaBelle, also Of RumfOrd, for
whom Mr.. Blanchard appeared, pleaded
guilty to two nuisance charges, and paid
fine of 500 and costs 10 one, the other
being continued.
Ben Marquis of Rumford pleaded
guilty to 9 nuisance indictment, and
there were already some old cases hang.
| ing over him on which he had pleaded
guilty. Mr.. Mccarthy appeared for
him, and Marquis seemed to need some
support, as he was 30 affected that he
sobbed continually while in court. He
was sentenced In search and seizure TO
500 and costs or sixty days In jail, and
on the nuisance case to 500 and three
months in jail. He went to jail to
"board it all out"
Simeon Laroche of Rumford, who was
indicted at this term, and over whom
some old cases for violation of the liquor
law were hanging, was sentenced in one
case to six months In jail.
| Ed Martin and Albert Plant were
sentenced to one year in state prison for
the attempted Jail break of the 10th of
MAY. BY an inadvertence White and
Finnen, who were included in this in
dictment, had been sent to Thomaston
without having sentence imposed in this
matter, but as they have thirteen and
fifteen years respectively ahead OF them
at the state prison, perhaps they may as
we'll be allowed to 60 without penalty In
that matter.
George II. Seavey of Bethel pleaded
guilty in three liquor cases. Mr.. Wheel
er appeared for him. In the nuisance
case he was given a sentence Of $1OO and
costs or thirty days in Jail, and the other
cases were continued. He was unable
to pay.
Henry Dargie and Frank Dougay, the
two boys indicted with the Gallant boys,
were taken before the court again, and
after some consideration of their case
they were allowed to 60 home. Judge
Bird explained fully to them the be-
havior that would be expected of them,
and gave Police Officer Brooks of Rum
ford kind of general charge of them,
instructing them that they must report
to Mr.. Brooks as often as he required it,
and that they should 60 to the priest at
once upon returning home.
Frank Slegus of Rumford was arraign-
ed on a nuisance indictment. He is
Pole, and the proceedings had to be car
ried on through an interpreter, young
woman of refined appearance acting in
that capacity. Mr.. Mccarthy was attor-
uey for Slegus. There was some diff.
Guilty in getting him to plead, as he said
that he was running club, and didn't
want to say he was guilty. At last, after
some consultation, he succeeded with an
effort in getting out the word guilty. As
he is already serving four months
sentence, County Attorney Barnes con-
tinued the case on the condition that
Slegus does not engage In the sale OF any
kind of beer.
Cornelius Sullivan of Rumford pleaded
guilty In two liquor cases. On the
nuisance he was given a sentence OF
thirty days, and the other case was con-
tinued. Mr.. Mccarthy appeared for
him.
Mike Gustitis was arraigned on an old
indictment for assault and battery. He
is also a Pole, and before 1t was certain
whether he understood the indictment,
Mr.. Barnes asked to have 1t continued
and the prisoner released on his own
recognizance.
Saturday morning Charles Gowell of
Gilbertville was brought into court, and
after consultation with Mr.. Wright, who
was assigned by the court to appear for
him, pleaded guilty to indictments for
nuisance and common seller. The COM
mon seller case was continued, and on
the nuisance he was sentenced to fine
of 500 or thirty days in Jail. He had no
money, and went to Jail.
James Gallagher of Rumford made his
appearance in court, with Mr.. Blanchard
as his counsel, and pleaded guilty to an
indictment for nuisance. There were
several old cases on the docket against
him. In consideration of the fact that
Gallagher is not now in the liquor busi-
ness, and is avowed to be out of 1t to
stay, County Attorney Barnes moved for
sentence without recommending term
in Jail. Fines were accordingly imposed
in three cases, $500 for nuisance, 500
for common seller, and 500 for single
sale, and Gallagher promptly pulled a
wad of bills out of his pocket and paid
the total of $500.
! When a portion of the criminal busi-
ness had been disposed of Saturday
morning, the juries were finally dis
charged, and after the disposition of the
Gallagher case County Attorney Barnes
announced thst he knew of nothing
more on the criminal docket for action
at this term. The court then proceeded
with the divorce action of Brown vs..
Brown.
Later in the day Elmore Blaisdell OF
East Dixfield was brought in, and plead.
ed guilty to indictments for nuisance and
common seller. On third indictment,
for single sale, he said he didn't think
he was guilty. He had no money with
which to pay fine, and on the nuisance
case he was given sentence of thirty
days in Jail, and the others were con
tinued.
