Mrs. Nelson w. BARLEY took her
seat in the court room, Thursday af-
ternoon accompanied by her sister,
Mrs. j. B. Laws and Mr.. Laws, and
is again listening to the rehearsal of
horrifying details surrounding the sad
and tragic death of her husband. She
wore deep black with furs of the
same sombre shade. Like Mrs. John
A. Burke she is blond and seemed
more strikingly beautiful on this oc-
casion than last winter when she sat
thru the long trial which in no way
solved the mystery of the atrocious
murder in northern Somerset. Since
the hearing of last winter Mrs. Bart
ley's mother has passed away, two
touching bereavements in one short
year The widow has now vacated
the Moose River Hotel property where
she continued to reside after her hus-
bands death. This property has
been sold to Albert Loubier, for
mer restaurant keeper in Jackman
and Mrs. BARLEY now lives with her
sister Mrs. Laws in an apartment
house in Jackman.

A disagreement between Baker &

consisting of Carol N. Perkins and
C. e. b. Walker of Waterville and A.
A. Porter of Skowhegan, and the case

company were William H. Gullifer, w.
A. Bush and H. C. Hafey of Harris
burg. Pa. while Clayton Games of
solon together with Atchley & Bart
lett OF Waterville represented the de-
fsadants.
The firm Of Baker & Priest is made
up OF Sidney d. Baker and Perley
i. Priest of Scion, who have been in
he business for good number OF
years. The mill and contents were
insured for $4,000, and as some OF the
property was saved it is understood
that Baker & Priest wanted at least
sSOoe to which the insurance COM
pany did not agree.
Mr. Priest in testfying was asked
many questions as the price of ma
chinery. betting and other appurte-
nances about the mill which were
bought about 10 years ago, to which
he answered that he could not re-
member, but that there had been
fire and the insurance at any rate
would cover only about one-third of
the loss at most "Of course" said
the witness, "if you gentlemen don't
want to pay it I shall have to stand
the loss" The witnesses for Priest
& Baker were ]. l.. Foss and William
York of Scion, Samuel T. Cobb of the
Oscar Holway Co. of Lewiston and
Vaughan Mayo of Waterville.
The hearing had not continued long
when the party decided to go to Scion
to look over the premises and has
now been continued to later date.
