Apparent Abandon
ment of Reported
Agree ment by
Attorneys
Carnlody Announces Position
OF N. Y. Law Department

Washington, June 12.-Plans for an
agreement between counsel for Har-
ry K. Thaw and the state of New
York, to permit Thaw's removal from
New Hampshire to Pennsylvania in
custody of officers to testify in court,
went awry today.
Instead of presenting such an agree
ment to the supreme court for it's APP
prevail, William T. jerome, represent
ing the state of New York, merely
filed a brief in opposition to Thaw's
application for release on bail. He
declined to say what had disarranged
the proposed agreement between the
LAWYERS, and declared that any state
nent would come from Attorney Cen
eral Carmody at Albany.
Ex- Governor Stone and Merrill
Shurtleff, attorneys for Thaw. said
they would file affidavits in rebuttal to
Jeromes brief later today and the
latter prepared to leave for New
York. Apparently the agreement be-
tween the lawyers was entirely aban-
doned. The question of Thaw's re-
lease on bail will be taken up by the
justices of the supreme court tomor-
row and decision may be announced
Monday.

Waterville, Me-, June 12.-(SpeciaD -
The case of Pattangall VS.. Mooers was
continued today in the superior court
here.
Mr.. Pattangalls examination was
concluded early and the plaintiff then
rested his case.
Mr. Lawrence then opened the case
for the defendant. He said in part that
it is not every injurious story circu-
lated about a man that constitutes
SANDER; that If that were so our
courts would be filled with such cases.
That in order to maintain an action
for oral SANDER plaintiff must bring
his case within one of three well-de-
fined groups and unless he does he
fails. He must show, first, either that
he has been accused of a crime; sec
ond that he has been accused of hav
ing certain contagious diseases; and
third, that words have been spoken of
him in his business or profession; and
upon the third of these propositions
this plaintiff comes into court.
Continuing, Mr.. Lawrence gave an
outline of Mr.. Mooers life, and also
what he expected to prove by his wit
nesses, stating that for a great many
years he had been a resident of Som
erset; that in early life he was a res
ident of Vassalboro, Kennebec county.
He said that for while during his
residence in Somerset county he had
been a travelling salesman. Later on
he was sheriff of that county for two
terms, four years; that during the
time Mr.. Mooers was sheriff of Som
erset county that Mr.. PattangaH, the
| plaintiff, was mayor of WaterVille,
and that the two men knew a great
deal of each other, and that Mr..
Mooers had formed his opinion of Mr..
Pattangall. He stated that with one
exception there had been no political
differences between the two gentle
men. He stated that MI. Mooers would
| testify that he never had any desire
! to injure Mr.. Pattangall personally,
and least of all to injure his reputa-
| ton or standing as a lawyer; that he
never had it in mind, but that he did
believe Mr.. Pattangall was not a
proper man to represent the district
in Congress, and that he did endeavor
/ to defeat Mr.. Pattangall for the NOM
nation
Mr.. Lawrence stated further that there
was a story in circulation and Mr..
Mooers heard it from various sources.
/ heard it and believed it, and says he
had reasonable cause to believe it; that
| it was a story that bore upon Mr.. Pat
tangall's candidacy for Congress; that
upon certain day he met the witnesses
of plaintiff and in the course of CONVEX
sation the matter of the election came
up and Mr.. Mooers mentioned this story
he had heard, and stated it as a story
| that had come to him. without any
malice, and without any thought that he
was referring to Mr.. Pattangall as a law

Few Contests Show
In the Primaries
But Democrats
Different
Curtis and Keegan Appear TO
Be Strongest for Governor

Bath, Me-, June 12.-(SpeciaD.--
There is but little interest manifest
ed by the general public in Mondays
primaries. The Sagadahoc county Re-
publican committee will do all in it's
power to get out big vote but the
contests are only minor affairs and
one between Wilbur C. Oliver and
William A. Jack of this city for the
nomination for sheriff, and the other
between Mayor Arthur j. Dunton and
Edward c. Plummer for the nominal
ton for judge of probate.
Over in the Democratic party how
ever, there is a strenuous contest be-
ing waged for the shrievalty nomina
ton with three candidates entered.
They are Vernal Chase, Capt. Chas.
w. Dingley and John e. Fitzgerald.
Every effort Is being made by Demo-
cratic leaders to get out the full par
ty vote on this account and of the
300 odd enrollments thus far recorded
about five sixths are coming from the
Democrats on account of the efforts
made by the leaders to get out a big
vote on account of the sheriff matter.
The Democrats are all mixed up
too over their stand for the guberna-
torial nomination. Mayor Curtis of
Portland seems to be the choice of
the Democrats who are in business
while Peter Charles Keegan seems to
hame made a hit among others. May

chilly welcome from the leaders,

RESOLUTE AHEAD

berth at the start has been seen off
Sandy Hook than the struggle between
the boats today. For nearly 10 min
utes the two yachts followed one an
other around a 50-yard circle just I'M
der the stern of the committee boat,
each skipper waiting for the time to
run out and make a dash for the line.
At one time Vanitie had the Resolute
under her lee and apparently we'll
boxed. Her helmsmen, however, wig
gled out by cool calculating work and
the greater speed of the Resolute in
stays.
At the Start
When the starting signal came Res
olute had Vanitie under her lee and
both yachts rushed across the line on
the starboard tack only two seconds
apart. 1t was a beat to the first mark
in a gradually decreasing breeze and
smooth sea and the Resolute at once
began to pull away as she had done
before in the windward legs.
Capt Dennis of the Vanitie made
desperate efforts to keep up. He
pinched his bow until her head sails
huttered. He tried a couple of fish
erman shoots; but the Herreshoff
production was too able on the wind
to be overhauled. BY the time the
first mark was reached. Resolute was
nearly a mile ahead. The next 20
miles was broad off the wind and close
followers of the two yachts looked
for material gains by the Vanitie. For
some reason that reliable piece of
canvas, the balloon jib topsail was
kept in the Vanities locker and
smaller reaching jib was set. The
yachts sailed the 10 miles to the sec
ond mark without any seeming diff
ference in their relative positions, al
though careful timing showed that the
Vanitie had picked up few seconds.
Becoming desperate on the last leg,
Capt. Dennis hauled out his ballooner,
but it was too late.
Vanitie gained about a minute but
she was half a mile astern when the
Resolute reached the lightship and the
finish. In the last hour OF the race,
the breeze lightened considerably and
the two yachts were standing all out
straight when they crossed the line.
The next race for the cup yachts
will be on June % in Long Island
sound under the auspices of the In
dian Harbor Yacht Club. II is ex-
pected that Defiance, third of the cup
candidates, will then be in fine shape
for the contest. She was unable to
participate today.

he had been engaged in. the offices he
had held, and his relations with the
plaintiff. he stated his remembrance of
the conversation with Mr.. Adams and
Mr.. Fisher, on the streets of Skowhegan,
when the alleged Islander took place. r.
admitted making the statement attribut-
ed to him, but stated that he told Mr.,
Adams that that was just how he heard
the story.
Mrs. Annie Fisher. wife of the Mr..
Fisher who testified for the plaintiff,
took the stand and related what she re-
membered of the conversation, which
took place, she said partly, in her pres
ence She stated that she heard a part
of the converse ton. but did not pay par
ticular attention. She said the first she
heard was something about the labor
men wanting to get bill passed, and
did not hear more until later on she
said she heard something about corpora
lions wanting it to be defeated and was
willing to give $500. She stated that the
last she heard Mr.. Mooers say was that
it was told him as a fact.
Arthur r. Jewett, provision dealer of
Skowhegan, was called to the stand by
the defendant He said he had known
Mr. Mooers Is or 20 years, but not init
mately acquainted with him; that he
was a respectable man of considerable
influence.
This witness was asked if, in the pro-
gress of the campaign, he heard or re-
ceived from anyone statement with
reference to Mr.. Pattangalls connection
with the workmens compensation act be-
| fore the Legislature of 1913, but the ques-
ton was excluded under the following
ruling of the court: you can prove the
general reputation of plaintiff in the re-
spects in which it has been assailed by

common rumor as to a particular trans
action, not the common talk as TO an in
