been employed in Lincolnvlle. The hearing
was not completed Saturday and was continue
ed and finished Monday. although the day was
legal holiday, because the April term of the
S. J. Court was to convene Tuesday. A num-
Der of witnesses were examined, but report
of their testimony would necessarily be brief
and imperfect and in view of the fact that the
case goes to the Supreme Court it is felt that
it should not be published at this time. At
the close of the hearing Judge Knowlton found
probable cause and held the defendant for the
April term of the S. J. Court under $500 bonds,
which were furnished by her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Coggins. County Attorney Eben
F. Littlefeld, assisted by Judge F. W. Halliday
of Newport, appeared for the State, and H. G.
