COUNTY COURT ADJOURNED.
Many Cases Disposed of BY Judge E
l., Waterman.


The September term of Washing
ton County Court closed Wednesday
forenoon after an extra long ses-
sion during which a great many cas-
es were gone over. After the opening
of court yesterday morning, a num-
Der of divorce cases were heard, af-
ter which Judge Waterman devoted
his attention to the disposing of the
unfinished cases, by giving judg-
ment or continuing them until the
March term of court His Honor
made host of friends while in this
city who will regret his absence at
the coming sessions of the court in
this city, as his turn will not be
around to come here again for two
years After weeks vacation spent
at his home in Brattleboro, Judge
Waterman will go to Chelsea to open
up the Orange County Court.
The case to come before the court
yesterday morning was that of Mary
Ainsworth against Orlin Ainsworth,
both parties coming from Woodbury..
The case was contested in the matter
of alimony by the petitionee, as he
claimed that his wife had several
thousand dollars in banks through
out the State and that she could very
well support herself. She denied this
when cross examined by Attorney
Kendall, who had some difficulty in
managing the witness and getting
the replies that he expected. She
finally did admit the ownership of
$500, but said that it had been left
to her by her first husband and that
she had it for the support of the
children. The court ruled that this
did not enter into the question of
elimony, as it did not matter how
much money she had if she was en-
titled to alimony. 1t was ordered that
she should receive SO week and that
Ainsworth should be restrained from
selling any more of the furniture. A
case against Ainsworth brought by
his first wife has only just been
closed in the County Court and it is
thought that he had not waited the
prescribed three years before re-
marrying.
Mrs Michael Sullivan, who was
found guilty by jury three weeks
ago on a charge of selling illegally
was brought into court yesterday and
sentenced to not less than four nor
more than five months in the
county Jail. She sent word to Overseer
of the Poor Walter C. Lanphier that
he would have to take care of her
children.
