Marital Troubles Furnish Business for
Portion Of Tuesdays Session.

The principal case before the mum.
cipal court Tuesday morning was one
brought under the charge of non-sup-
port. In which action was brought
against Ernest Smart of Augusta by
his wife, Gladys Smart, and to which
the respondent pleaded not guilty. Ac-
cording to the story Of the COMPLAIN
ant, as it came out in court. she and
her husband were married Sept. IA.
1916. and since that time had lived to-
gether until about 10 days ago Friday.
He had planned to go to Portland, to
which she consented to go. and he al
lowed that he had arranged to take
her in an automobile. The move TO
Portland did not appear to have been
accompanied by any great amount OF
success, for when she came to Augusta
last Friday she claims that the
respondent served notice for divorce
proceedings. The respondent was rep
resented by Judge Sanford L. Fogg. II
came out at the hearing that the
woman had no money and no place to
go. and Yesterday a movement was on
foot to settle the case. but at the close
OF the Tuesday session the case had
not been settled.
Another case in which Mrs. Smart
was interested was one for alleged as.
sault and battery in which she accus-
ed Wilson Fl. Shaw Of throwing her OF
the porch The respondent pleaded not
guilty and introduced evidence to show
that while he had removed her from
the porth 1t was his own porch from
which he had removed her. and tina,
the action on his part was very gently
carried out At the end Of the hearing
the respondent was discharged.
