The January Term ConVenes
At 10 A. M. Tuesday.
Forenoon Session Taken Up by
Calling The Civil Docket.
One Case Heard..vannah Murder
Case Comes Next Week.

The January term of the superior
court convened Tuesday morning,
with Judge Fred Emery Beane of
Hallowell presiding. Prayer was Of
fered by the Rev. Mr.. Markley of
Hallovell The forenoon was taken up
by the calling of the civil docket. The
grand jury went into session but the
traverse Jurors will not report until
Thursday morning.
At the afternoon session case was
heard before Judge Beane between
Walter s. Whitehouse of Chelsea and
his divorced wife Grace M. Starks of
Augusta. Whitehouse was represented
by ex-Judge Benedict f. Maher while
Joseph Williamson of the firm of
Williamson. Burleigh & Mclean con-
Quoted the case for the defendant. The
nature of the case was petition en-
tered by Attorney Maher for the re-
duction per week of the amount of
alimony which Whitehouse has been
paying his former wife toward the
support of their two minor children.
In the year 1909 Mrs. Starks, then
Mrs. Whitehouse, secured a divorce
from her husband on the grounds of
non-support. The amount that White
house was to pay per week was shown
in the testimony to have voluntarily
agreed to pay $5 per week. At the
time the decree was granted the GUS
todv of the boy and girl was given
to the mother. On account OF the i'll
health of the plaintiff, his attorney
enters petition to reduce the amount
of alimony to sS per month, or 81 per
week, claiming that the amount OF
! IS per week was greatly in excess to
the sum needed to care for the chill
dren properly.
This particular phase of the case
has never been before the court, al
though other phases of the difficulties
existing have been heard several
times. The details of the case were
gene into to some extent by both at
tornevs. Since the divorce was decreed
both Whitehouse and his former wife
! have remarked. After hearing the case
4 Judge Beane reserved his decision and
stated that he would enter decree
sometime at this term of court.
Wednesday there will be no cases tc

until Thursday. The Vannah murder
