Did Not Wish to Mix Up in Case =
Case Continued Several Times.


When county court reopens in New

w. Gibson of Brattleboro will file an
information against John B. Dunton of
this place, secondhand furniture deal
er, charging him with abusive conduct
toward his daughter, Miss Carrie NJ.
Dunton. 1t is expected that the state
case, also Miss Dunton s suit against
her father for personal damages of
$4,000, will be disposed of at the pres
ent term of court.
At present there is no state case
against Mr.. Dunton, as it was mol
pressed in the municipal court. The
reason for this is that repeated con-
tlnuances of the case because of the
desire of the defense to have Mr.. Dun
tons son here to testify in his behalf
brought. the case so near to the opening
of county court that it was thought I'm
wise to undertake to try it in the muni-
cipal court as the attorneys might be
needed in both courts at the same time.
Mr.. Dunton s son, John B. Duntou
lr., who is in the navy, has since been
| here ard has returned to the service
and 1t is understood that he said he
would not plan to come back for the
| trial as he did not wish to mix up in the
case. If that is SO the case might az
| well have been tried in the municipal
court long ago, though, of course, at
| that time it was not known what the
