Jury Return Verdict of S2l23.33 Against
5. w. Paul of Searsmont.
Rockland Courier Gazette

[Rockland Courier -Gazette.J
The first jury trial (April 6th) brought forth
unsavory details involved in the case of Alfred
G. Hills of Union VS. S. W. Paul of Searsmont,
suit for alienation of affections. IL was tried
before drawn jury, F. w. Conant of Camden
counsel for the plaintiff, and H. c. Buzzell cf
Belfast represented the defendant.
Mr.. Hills was married in 1892 In 1900 he
obtained a position overseer on the defend
ants farm in Searsmont, and his wife took
charge of the boarding house there. 1t inter-
ested many persons in the court room to know
that the Paul farm or Paul ranch, as it is bet
ter known, contains 1000 acres. being probably
the largest farm in the State, the stock includ
ing 100 head of cattle. Is horses, 1S0 sheep,etc
1t cuts about 400 tons of hay, and employment
is given to from IL to 25 men.
Affairs were very harmonious for three or
four years, when. Mr.. Hills says, he suddenly
discovered that his wife's attentions were
being monopolized by Mr.. Paul. Coming home
unexpectedly he often found them in much
closer companionship than circumstances
seemed to warrant. They rode out together
nights, and Mr.. Paul developed undue fond
ness for the young son Ralph, buying the lat
ter's clothes, and depositing money for him in
the Waldo Trust Co., the plaintiff testified.
When anybody wanted Mr.. Paul we always,
knew where to look for him. said the witness
Mr.. and Mrs. Hills separated last July, and
when the overseer left the ranch Sept, 27, Mrs.
Hills remarked: II hope I'll never see your
face again." Mr.. Hills began alienation pro-
ceedings against MIR. Paul, and Mrs. Hills in
stituted divorce proceedings, in which she
charged non-support and statuatory offense.
The defense was general denial of the
plaintiffs charges, coupled with the claim that
Mr.. Hills, himself, was responsible for losing
his wife's affections. In all about 80 witnesses
were examined, most of them being men who
were employed on the "ranch,"
The defendant. Mr.. Paul, accounted for his
frequent presence in the boarding house by
the fact that his health was poor, and that he
did most of his correspondence in the apart
ments. His testimony was cOrroborated by
the plaintiffs wife. who admitted on cross ex-
animation that she had consulted with Mr.. Paul
about his placing money to the boys account,
and that she had not told her husband of the
incident.
The jury was out about one and one.half
hours. finally reporting a verdict for the plain
tiff in the sum Of $212833. 33.,.-u,.s

Of human nature and Of present condr
tions that we have not reached stage
when a nation can dispense with means
of self defense The problem that now
confronts our nation is how 10 choose
the best means and adopt the best poll
cies that Will harmonic with ideals of
freedom, Justice and democracy. We
must guard against anything that
would peryert preparedness into mill
tarism. To accomplish this the spirit
Of democracy must prevail and per
wade all plans and all defensive organ
izatlons.
l have summarized my position on
these matters as follows:
In addition TO those who enter the
regular army and the navy as d pro-
fession, there must be reserves that
can be called into the service of the
country quickly to meet emergency. 1t
is necessary therefore that there should
be opportunities afforded to the masses
Of the citizens for physical and mill
tary training However, all military
training must be safeguarded to pro-
tect democratic ideals and civic insti-
tutions, Not only must there be equal
opportunity for all citizens to enter
training organizations and camps. but
that opportunity must be attended by
such provisions as TO make it an equal
/ opportunity for both the poor and the
rich.
A fair compensation for service in
military camps must be paid as sub
stitute for wages lost In these citi-
zens organizations for military train
ing there must be no recognition of dis
tinctons, professions or for any advan-
tage Il position that may be held by
any citizen or group e citi- -
l sincerely hope that the trade union
lists Of Cleveland will consider very
carefully the problem of national pre-
paredness. Some such plan must be
evolved if we would escape the dan
gers and the mistakes Of haphazard
existence.

relating his experiences Mr.. Morris
stated that while he was travelling
near the headwaters of the Tapajos

and kept prisoner for several years.
In attempting to make their captive
into an Indian like themselves they
tattooed his cheeks and lower Jaw with
native pigments, which he found he
could not remove For long time he
was In fear for his life, as they threat
ened TO kill him for his head. so to
speak, which they would have hung
from the lodgepoles as a trophy. But
for some reason he was spared
After two or three years of imprison-
ment his captors became little lax In
their watch, and one night Morris
managed to escape in a small boat. He
took eight Of the trophy heads with
him, knowing that they would be valu-
able objects TO museums of this coun-

assets and at the same time much en-
barrassed by the very noticeable tat
tooing with which his indian captors
had decorated his face Unfortunately
he could not raise a beard, and he
would not appear in public as he was.
Finding that DR. Merriam was in the
city and knowing him to be a scientist,
he decided to approach him In an en-
deavor to raise some money or the
heads. DR. Merriam says that they
found no difficulty in doing so, the

not remember where the others went,
but recalls that all of them were sold

place where he could seek seclusion

knows, has never been heard from

as the union concerns but the en-
ployes are encouraged to lead a
moral life. The conduct of the
workers outside of the factory is
also Gained as the interest of the
employer.
Also, this factory has consti-
tuted board of conciliation, con-
sisting of the representatives of the
management, and of the employees,
but no interference by Labor uniens
is tolerated.
Until lately they had no trouble
on this conciliatory board. The
managers would express the wish
of the company; the employees rep
resentative sometimes voiced the
hopes ot the workers, then they
compromised on the wishes of the
company.
Happened that one Edward
McPeak was elected or appointed,
as one of the conciliators; and he
actually thought he could present
some of the aspirations of those be
was supposed to represent. He
was fired instantly. Then came
the strike.
The point we would make is
that there can be no real collective
relationship between employers
and employees when the former are
possessed of all the economic power
while the latter are prevented by
all means from allyiug themselves
with an organization that would
give them power to press any de
ma IDS they might make
