MUNICIPAL COURT

Judge cony Finds Probable Cause in
Case Against James Scates Of Mt
Vernon, Charged with Larceny ot
Furs-Respondent Bound Over to
Superior Court
Probable cause was found by Judge
Robert AZ Cony at the municipal court
on Monday in the case against James
Scates of Mt. Vernon, who on last
Thursday had been arraigned and
pleaded not guilty to the charge Of the
larceny of 43 muskrat skins and one
skunk skin, all of the value OF SLOT.
from +, A. Kurdish OF Belgrade, the
complainant. on Dec. 1. Testimony in
the case was resumed Monday morning.
Herbert E. Locke was counsel for the
complainant, and M. E. Sawtelle APP
peared for the respondent.
The skins in dispute were brought
into the court room by Mr.. Furnish,
and he proceeded to relate how he
identified these skins-by markings and
by nail holes made to stretch the skins.
and made. as he testified, in a peculiar
manner. He testified that there were
only about three Of the muslkrat skins
that hO SO4io ASS AASASAly &AiA sASoS
had been torn in returning 50 that
some Of the marks he depended on were
not available. The skunk skin he put
against the board that he said it had
been stretched upon and he drove the
nails in to show they fitted into the
holes made in the board. He called
attention to what he said were moose
hairs in the fur, due to having kept
the furs in the same room where there
was moose skin. One other witness
corroborated his previous statement as
to the date of the alleged larceny.
Herman S. Patterson of the Augusta
Tallow Co., testified that the skins
shown in the court room were the same
ones that Furnish had, claimed as, his
at the office, but he could not identify
them as the ones he had bought OF
Scates, owing to the fact that they had
been mixed up with others the company
had purchased.
The defense offered no evidence on
Monday.
Judge Cony found probable cause
and Scates was bound over in the sum
Of 5000 for his appearance at the jan
uary term of the Kenpebec county SUI
perior court. -f ~

It's a great three star combination
that Manager Menges has booked for
the cinema concert at the Hyperion this
Sunday night. Charlie Ray, Charlie
Chaplin and Mary MacLaren are names
to conjure with in the world of picture
stardom and for good measure Bessie
Barriscale, a star in her own right, is
co-star with Ray in his picture. THE
Hick" in which Ray and Barriscale ap-
pear is a Tom Ince production with
Ray in role of poor young student
poorer "slavey' in wretched boarding
house. The "slavey" enters a prize
contest for the most beautiful girl in the
town and through the art of the village
photographer she is transformed into a
ravishing beauty and wins the coveted
prize. In "The Count" in which Chap
lin appears is the best two reel comedy
this comedian ever made. The third
feature is Mary MacLaren in "The
Road to Divorce. In every way the
program for this Sunday night is the
best to be screened since the Hyperion
started Sunday night concerts and in
addition there will be the Kilograms
and the delightful music by the Hyper
ion orchestra. Seats may be reserved
in advance.
A happy combination of one of the
most successful farce comedies of the
past year, "She Walked in Her Sleep"
and the return to the Players of Frances
actresses who ever appeared in this
city, should result in another record
breaking week at the Hyperion. next
week. Miss Williams has been espe-
cia1ly engaged to play the role of Mad
Maud Bruce" the role she played in the
original company for more than year
and that she will receive a royal well
come from her friends and admirers
is a foregone conclusion. Mark Swan
wrote "She Walked in Her Sleep and
the action of the play takes place in

young and beautiful girl attired in a

happens and it is not very hard to i'm
agine the complexities when the 1ady's

apartment of a young married man
during the temporary absence of the
new and confding wife.
In addition to the special appearance
of Miss Williams the play will intro
duce likewise A Dean Cole, clever
young juvenile who also played in the
original company with Miss Williams,
and it will also present Lorna Elliott,
rated as one of the best second women
in the cast, and formerly of the Poll
