yeyor No cases in the equity dock
ct were reported for jury trial.
Owing To none of the cases sched-
uled for the first day being tried,
Judge King heard TWO divorce cases
during the afternoon. The first was
that of Iva B Andrews. Lib. Us Guy
b. Andrews. Attorney c. W. Hussey
of Wateryille appeared for the libel
liant. who seemed little more than a
child. She was married she stated
in 1914 when she was Is years Of age.
She and her husband lived for time
at North Jay. She last saw her hus-
band August IA, 1914 and he had not
replied to her letters. She had call
ed on the town for assistance and her
plea in divorce proceedings was that
of non-support She was the moth
or of one child about year old. Her
mother who looked exceedingly
youthful bore her out in her story,
pathetic more especially because of
the childish appearance of the libel
iant. The second hearing was the
case Of Una +. Beayitt vs. Vernon 2.
LeaYitt. Attorney Hnssey was also
the attorney in this case. which was
based upon non-support Mrs. Lea
witt claimed to have married her hus-
band in October. 1914. 1t appears
that the couple lived together very
little and it was maintained that the
whereabouts of Mr.. Leavitt were un-
known. He had paid in $500 toward
her support. Her mother and sister
were witnesses.
Following the divorce hearings
Judge King gave his attention to the
bill in the equity case of T. B. Bar
rett VS. Bray wilkins (now deceased)
and others. 1t was a will case and
was presented by Mr.. Barrett The
presiding justice held the matter for
consideration.

ing for additional jurors the follow
ing men appeared in court yesterday
morning: f. E. Cross, Ansel New
ton, p. C. White, Chas. Carnage of
Skowhegan; S. NJ. Curtis, Carlton
Wescott and Frank S. Clough of Mad
ison. Mr.. Curtis and Mr. Clough
were excused and F. f. Cross was
made supernumerary juror. The
others took their stations with the
eight jurors left after the empancl-
ling of the first jury and retired to
elect foreman. Ansel Newton was
their choice. Naturalization cases

day Harvey Cooke Estey and his son,
