Wednesday morning case came or
which was in some ways OF more interest
than most cases. This was in the form
of an indictment against Ansel Dudley
and Carl c. Dudley, we'll known and rep
utable citizens and merchants OF Bry'
ants Pond, for liquor nuisance. The
state discontinued as to Carl Dudley,
and Ansel Dudley appeared and pleaded
nolo contenders. Mr.. Wright addressed
the court, saying that he felt that Mr.
Dudley was innocent of any wrong in
tent, aud that he was only technically
guilty if at all, but that he did not wish
for trial with all that 1t involved. The
acts on which the indictment is based
are sales of flavoring extracts and other
legitimate articles of commerce, and
there is no charge of sale of liquor as
such.
County Attorney Parker concurred
briefly 10 most of what Mr.. Wright had
said, and stated that he should not have
felt that the facts justified an indictment
If he had not felt that the respondent
ought to have known that the prepare
tions sold were being used for improper
purposes.
Judge Cornish said that he considered
that the respondent had already suffered
severely in the matter, and he imposed a
fine of 800 and costs of $40, which was
Immediately paid.

whiskey two or three times. They went

the jug was empty. They were thirsty,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Reed brought them the
bottles of whIskey as they testified. The
outcome of the affair was the arrest OF
both Coolidge and Bailey for intoxica-
ton.
After hearing the case for the state,
Judge Cornish ordered mol pros In the

judicial Court last week. Judge Cornish
had to get through Friday night, and be

The next trial begun was that OF
CYRUS Reed and bis wife Vena Reed of
Oxford, on a liquor nuisance charge.
Mr.. HAGEN defended them. The case
was based on the testimony of Henry
Coolidge and Frank Bailey, each of them
testifying to buying pint or q part OF a
pint Of whisksy, one of Mr.. Reed and one
of Mrs. Reed, ON the 25th OF August. The
testimony developed the fact that the

of Thursday.
RinaldO Pietrautonio pleaded guilty to
a liquor nuisance. The indictment
against him for assault was mol pressed.
d. Stanley Jackson retracted in COM
mon seller case, and pleaded guilty. A
mol pros was entered in case against
him for breaking and entering and

lookup, and filling up on liquor there.
Thomas Lanigan pleaded guilty on the
charge of simple assault on James a..
Glover Of Oxford, and the indictment for
assault with intent to kill on the same
party was mol pressed.
The remainder of the criminal docket
was then cleaned up, quite a number of
the old cases being placed on file, others
mol pressed, and others continued. Two
of the appealed cases of local interest
were that against Arthur Cummings OF
Oxford for obstructing the highway,
which was mol pressed, and that against
l.. s. Sessions of South Paris for over
speeding his automobile, which was con-
tinued.
At the conclusion of the call of the
criminal docket Judge Cornish discharg-
ed the juries, and took occasion to com
pliment County Attorney Parker on the
excellent manner in which he had
handled the criminal business OF the
court, and had cleaned up his docket.

who served as foreman of the jury in
every trial it had.
John Slegus was indicted for the lar
ceny of $37 90 In money, the property OF
Peter Sulkovitch, who lives up stairs at
20 River Street. Although the money
was his, the principal witness, and the
one who was In possession OF the money

will Morrell, James Lery and James
O'Connell, convicted OF pocket picking,
were sentenced to three years in state
prison. Mrs. Lery, mother of James,
spoke to the judge in his behalf, and was
badly affected when the sentence was
pronounced. Her crying could be heard
in the court room as she followed the
officers when they took the prisoners
back, through the whole length of the
corridor.
Richard T. Greene of Everett, Mass,
and Charles West of Boston, were sen

the northern and southern clubs on
the circuit. Waterloo is SO far north
that it makes the railroad expenses
there considerable, while the patron
age in that city hasn't been up to the
standard or even what the Waterloo
directors guaranteed when handed the
franchise. So it is that the directors
representing the southern portion of
the circuit are in favor of dropping
Waterloo and handing the franchise
over to Quincy. This move will cut
down the cost of transportation and
make the league much more compact.
This is undoubtedly what will occur
when the directors of the Three-Eye
league get together, but it will be the
directors of the organization and not
the president who will have the voice
in the matter. No matter what comes
off, there is certain to be one big
battle when the Three-Eye magnates
get busy next week.
