Yeaw and Physicians Testify.

morning by Judge A. F. Schwenk of
the probate court on the petition of
Mrs. Carrie Perry to have the guardian
ship over her dismissed. Mrs. G. l..
Stickney is the guardian. Mrs. Hiland
Haslans, in whose home Mrs. Perry has
lived much of the time, testified as to
her failing mental condition. S. H.
Yeaw, in whose home she had visited
many times, gave similar testimony.
DR.. IL. p. Greene, called as AN expert
by the petitionee, answered a hypothet-
ical question based on alleged facts
in the case and replied that ON such a
basis he should say that a person was
mentally incapacitated to some extent.
| DR.. w. H. Lane and DIR. c. s. Pratt,
who had examined Mrs. Perry, testified
for the petitioner that they considered
her mentally capable for woman OF
her years. The arguments are being
made this afternoon by Chase & Chase
for the petitioner and r. c. Bacon for
the guardian.

Last Tuesday Everett A. Miner, IT..
of Ware, Mass, who is 10 years old, and
Miss Lucy NJ. Lester of Providence,
K. l., appeared at the office of Town
Clerk Carl s. Hopkins and desired a
marriage license. AS the town clerk

came for, but left town.
They returned yesterday armed with
written permit from Miners father
and accompanied by the mother of the
girl. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Richard H. Clapp.
