INCREASED ALIMONY DENIED.
Ethel DeBoer Field Wanted S2,5oo Year
From (. D. Field

One of the most important decisions
that was announced in Washington coun-
ty court Wednesday afternoon was the
dismissal of the petition of Ethel DeBoer
Field asking for an increase of 81 900 in
alimony from +. d. Field. The court
filed a long finding of facts but when it
had completed this, the ending was an
entry ON the docket, Petition dismissed.
This case, because of the prominence
of the persons involved, has been watched
with more than the usual amount of Gu
riosity and many inquiries have been
made as to the results of the hearings.
Some of the minor things in the care of
the children and other things incidental
to the welfare of those involved were set
forth in the finding of facts. The petit
tioner had been allowed alimony of ST.
500 since the divorce was granted, but
she claimed this was not enough and
asked for 81 800. which was not allowed.
During yesterday afternoon the di-
voree case of Alma Paris against Au-
gustus Paris was heard. In this case the
petitionee has left his wife and joined
the army in Massachusetts, and it was
brought out in the testimony that he
has told friends that his wife would be
unable to accomplish anything with him
away The petitioner asks for alimony.
In the case of Dover Boiler Co. vs..
f. n Sanctuary and T. H. Deavitt the
matter was left with the court for judg-
ment to be filed. as of his term.
This morning the chancery case of Cow
ell VS.. Field was presented. This is a
case relative to the ownership of spring
of water in Berlin in which Field was
enioined from using the spring, and later
a cross bill was filed by Field enjoiniug
Mrs. Covell from taking water from the
spring. The question is relative to where
the spring is. Mr.. Field obtained water
from this spring to cool his gasoline en-
CINE used in operation of his mill and
suddenly found that the supply stopped.
Investigation developed that the spring
had been tapped by another scqueduct,
which led to the Covell cottage. Frank
Plumley appears for Mrs. Covell and
.. l.. Hunt for Mr.. Field.

WHEN CHIDED, GIRL
SWALLOWED CARBOLIC
Miss Cora Bergeron, IS, of Burlington,
Had Been Going Around with Sol
dier and Her Father Objected. -

Burlington, Nov. l5-Miss Cora Ber
geron l5-year-old daughter of George
Bergeron of 2s0 North avenue, drank
about half an ounce of carbolic acid nea,
the bandstand in Battery park about II
o'clock last night, and as result of the
effects of the poison she is in dying
condition at the Mary Fletcher hos.
pital.
Why the girl took the acid is a mys-
terry. Her father, who is employed at
the Vermont Milk Chocolate company's
plant, and who was in the police station
early last night in search of the girl,
claimed she had not returned home from
her work yesterday noon, He said that
he had whipped the girl several times
during the summer for travelling around
with soldiers, which punishment appar-
emily was of no avail As matter of
fact, Cora was seen early last evening
with two young men near the battery,
both of whom were unrecognizable to q
soldier who passed the three at the time.
The girls screams, after the poison
had burned her mouth, and throat, were
the means of attracting to her assist
ance an unknown young man, who es-
corted her as fer as the Bee Hive on
North avenue, whence the police were
notified While the ambulance was
speeding on its way to get the girl, sew
eral people in the vicinity of the afore-
mentioned block endeavored to get soap
and water down her throat, but this was
useless, as it was impossible to force
her Jaws open. Even when she was tax
en- into the hospital il was no easy iob
to get an antidote into her mouth
