ease of State VS.. Samuel p. Aldus of
Belfast indicted at this term for fall
ure to support minor child. was heard,
today. in the supreme court. The wife
OF the respondent. bearing in her arms
child of less than a year old, took
the stand for the State and it was a
pitiful sight. the mother and child
having to come out in the extremely
cold weather, to testify to their desti-
tute condition. The defence claimed
that there was another man in the
case and that the wife left her hus-
bands home voluntarily. In his
charge Justice Whitehouse stated that
the jury need not find it necessary to
find proof that the respondent desert
ed the wife, but if he made the home
impossible for her to live in, and in
directly forced her to leave. it amount
ed to the same thing. The case went
to the jury about 1.45 and after de-
liberating an hour or more the jury
rendered a verdict of guilty"

DESTROYERS
Have Hard Time on Trip
To Guantanamo.
All Battered by Mountainous
Seas and Several Disabled.
Seven Reach Port at Bermuda, Up
TO Monday Night.

Hamilton, Bermuda, Jan. S.-The
smaller dockyard here is crowded with
storm tossed and weather beaten
American torpedo boat destroyers. Up
to this evening seven Of them have
reached port They are the Perkins
Wake, Ammen, Sterrett Preston
Trippe and Paulding. Two others, the
Mayrant and Mccall have not yet been
heard from, and are being searched
for by the battleship Michigan.
After encountering a northwest gale,
on Thursday and Friday, which the
officers and men describe as hurri-
cane, the hotilla ran into a southwest
gale on Sunday night. The Paulding,
which had been disabled in the first
storm felt the fury of the gale more
than the others, and Jared worse.
Fortunately for her, when about %
miles northeast of Bermuda. she was
sighted by the battleship Michigan,
which supplied her with provisions and
gave her her latitude and longitude.
She reached Bermuda, this morning,
but when entering the harbor ran
aground on a submerged coral ledge,
She was soon hoated, and is now at
tit ApiNN al W. pdAAIt tsillieiE'h.
The commander of the Paulding.
Lieut.. S. II. Doyle said today. that the
gales were the worst he had known
during his Il years of sea service.
He remained on the bridge AZ con-
secutive hours. Few of the crew We're
allowed on the deck at one time. When
600 miles east of New York the Pauld-
ing, which had been pounded and
buffeted for hours lay-to for a day
and a half. The wind was blowing at
the rate of 80 miles an hour and mon
sterous seas were running. The lit
tie vessel rolled 90 degrees.
The whole Of her wireless apparatus
was carried away and consequently
she vas unable to maintain communi-
cation with either the parent ship
Dixie, which herself was in serious
difficulties, or her sister ships
The Paulding was frequently washed
fore and aft by the gigantic waves.
Two whale boats were smashed and
washed overheard and all the other
boats We're damaged. The port anchor
was carried away. the fore compart-
ments We're flooded; provisions We're
spoiled and the crew had to do with
out food. officers and men We're hurl-
ed out of their hunks and some of the
men in the performance of their du-
ties. We're cut and bruised.
The pounding of the seas opened the
seams of the deck. and one huge wave
which buried the destroyer under hun
dreds of tons of water. carried away
everything not too securely fastened.
The gale, last night, was accompa-
MED by binding nail storm Which
dashed in the faces of those whose du-
~ compelled them to be on deck.
Already the Paulding has undergone
an examination and after repairs she
will leave for Guantanamo with the
rest Of the flotilla.
All the other boats show marks of
their rough experience, although prob
ably the Trippe, which also arrived,
today commanded by Lieut.. Frank
y. Berrien, suffered less than the
others.
The general opinion among the off,
GERS is that the vessels will be ready
FOR departure for Guantanamo i'll two
or three DAYS.
