!rhe End A. the Court

Inc enc OF the court.
The March term of court came to q
, close rather sooner than had been an
ticipated last week. this being due prin-
cipally to the indisposition OF County
Attorney Parker, who found himself
not in condition to conduct the trial OF
, criminal cases. For this reason only q
small amount of the criminal business OF
the court was transacted, those cases
which were for actual trial going over to
the next term.
Criminal business disposed of was:
In the case of Mark Steinfeld Of Rum
ford, for keeping and depositing intox-
icatiug liquor with intent to sell. the
Judgment of the lower court was affirm
ed, and fine of 800 and costs of IS 40
: were paid.
In the case of A. Mont Chase of Wood
stock for nuisance, fine of 500 and costs
OF s25 were paid.
! Salvatore Dicasimo, Jay l.. Gregory,
aud Fred Russell, all Of Rumford, re-
ceived each sentence of 500 fine and
$40 costs and sixty days in Jail, or sixty
days additional in default of payment OF
fiue and costs, for keeping and deposit
ing. All three were committed, with
out paying tnelr nneS.
Andy Peters, who had been fined for
a single sale, was also committed for
non-payment.
Sentence was asked for by the county
attorney on an old indictment against
Fred Prue of Rumford. Mr.. Blanchard,
attorney for Prue, commended that Prue
had been out of the liquor business for
long time, and that the liquor seized, on
the basis of which sentence was asked for
| In this case, was not intended for sale, but
for wedding celebration. Judge Saw
age continued the case to the May term.
George q. Seavey of Bethel pleaded
not guilty to an indictment charging
criminal assault upon girl Of ten years
of age, The case was continued until
May. Seavey is in Jail and has been for
some time, and Judge Savage ordered
that in case he wished to be admitted to
bail, the bail commissioner should fix
the bail at $500.
In the case of the Bulman brothers,
who had pleaded guilty to breaking and
entering and larceny from the grange
store at Waterford, Judge Savage i'm
posed light sentences. The younger,
Alfred Bulman, was sent to the State
School for Boys during his minority, un-
less sooner discharged on probation by |
the trustees; or If he could not be re-
ceived there or became incorrigible, the |
sentence was to be thirty days in Jail |
The older brother, William, was too old |
to be sent to the school, and in his case
the breaking and entering was mol pros
sed, and Judge Savage imposed SEN
tence of thirty days in jail, with the sug- |
gestion that the sheriff look after him |
and keep watch of how he does after
being released.
The first civil case of the week was
that on trial when the Democrat went TO
press last week, Will l.. Whitney of
Berlin, n. H., VS.. Mrs. Eleida S. Pitts OF
Norway suit brought to recover for
monument ordered by Mrs. Pitts to be
placed In Riverside Cemetery at South
Paris, which has not yet been set.
Wheeler for plaintiff, q. W. Cakes OF
Auburn for defendant. At the con-
clusion Of the plaintiffs evidence, coun-
sci for defence moved for non suit, and
after some argument the motion was
granted. An appeal from the ruling was
taken, and the case goes to the law
court.
An appeal has also been taken in the
first case tried for the term, the damage
suit of Wesley P. Rowe vs. Hill Lumber
Manufacturing Co., and this also will 60
to the law court. This leaves the cases
heard by the jury during the term all in
the law court except one, in which there
was disagreement.
Trial was anticipated in another civil
case, a suit brought by Leon o. Irish of
Hartford against Robaiu Arsenault OF
Canton. Dyer for plaintiff, Swasey for
The parties were on hand
Tuesday morning, bnt after consultation,
inasmuch as the case involved the settle
ment of long and somewhat compli'
Gated account, decided to refer it to
Judge Cornish.
There was little else but divorce cases
to occupy the time of the court on Tues
day, and the court would probably Have
adjourned finally that day, but when a
longer term was anticipated, some par
ties had been told that the court would
be in session on Wednesday. For this
held Wednesday morning, although
practically its only business was one
divorce hearing. Final adjournment
was made about II o'clock.
