Court adjourned finally for the
term this forenoon. 1t has been
short term, with little work for the
juries, but many cases has been dis
posed of. Only one civil case was
submitted to the jury for a verdict.
Two others were mol pressed after
evidence for plaintiff was in.
There was very little criminal busi-
ness, though several old cases on
the docket were cleaned up. The
grand jury rose Thursday, reporting
only FIVE indictments, the smallest
number for years, and four of these
were against two persons. The full
criminal docket appears below.
State prison sentences were i'm
posed in two cases. Charles Nc
Carthy, arrested in connection with
the Mckinley bank robbery of last
year. retracted his plea of not guilty
| made at the October term, pleaded
nole contendere, and was sentenced
to not less than two years nor more
than four years at Thomaston.
Albert H. Miller, who beat up his
shipmate at Bar Harbor few weeks
ago. and robbed him of 81, pleaded
nolo contendere to the indictment for
! robbery, and was sentenced to not
less than four nor more than eight
years in Thomaston. The indict-
ment against him for assault with in
tent to kill. was filed.
TREADWELL VS.. SANGER.
The case of Lyndon Z. Treadwell
of Ellsworth VS.. DR.. Eugene B. Sanger
of Bangor, an action for damages
| for alleged malpractice, went on trial
Thursday. The plaintiff claimed
that. as a private patient of DR..
| Sanger, he was operated upon by
him at the Eastern Maine general
hospital, and left without proper care
| before he had come from under the
influence of the ether. That while
coming from under the influence of
| the ether, and delirious from its ef-
| fects, and with no attendants in his
| room, he got out of bed and injured
| himself. There was no claim that
the operation was not properly per-
! formed and successful, and plaintiff
| failed to prove any liability on the
| part of defendant for the care after
| the operation. The Court granted
motion of defendants counsel for a
non-suit, and so ordered. F. l..
Mason appeared for plaintiff and w.
| R. Pattangali and d. z. Hurley for
defendant
| CARLISLE VS.. NUTTING.

due for hay sold to defendant. The
question in dispute was as to the
amount of hay delivered. Defendant

hay, and admitted balance of about
$3S due. The jury returned yer.
