Attorney Frank Plumstead who was
recorder OF the Waterville municipal
court In May. 1890. testified that any
arrangements for hearing were made by
him. At the actual hearing Mrs. Bel
lows was not there, but Attorney
Bridges appeared as counsel. Witness

ing the custody of the children.
After the last hearing at Waterville
he had heard Attorney Bridges say to
the Harrison girls that they must not
talk this matter over with anyone else
or between themselves Attorney Plum
stead had said to Mr.. Bridges that he
WAS going outside his province. The
Harrison girls had not testified at the
hearing. They were the principle COM

his Office at the time the affidavits
were made by the Harrison girls. He
had been kind and courteous to the
girls and had told them to tell the
whole truth. Elsie had made her first
statement which involved Mr.. Bellows.
This was typewriter and she took oath
to. Shortly afterwards voluntarily the
girl said she had not understood what
she had signed and she made another
statement and signed it to the effect
that Mr.. Bellows never had improper
relations with her. Edna Harrison then
took oath to a similar statement.
Cross-examined, Attorney Bridges
said that he understood that custody
proceedings might be started. In that
case he did not know what the girls
part would be.
These affidavits were taken in pre-
paration for some hearing. IL one
should arise. he testified. Mrs. Bellows
had come in a day or two previously
and had said she had heard that they
were going to try to take her children
away from her and she wanted to
know her rights. He had not been in
formed that proceedings had been
started. The affidavits We're not made
preparatory to the case. At the case
in the municipal court, over the GUS
tody of the children, he did not have
any witnesses. Mr.. and Mrs. Bellows
had gone to Canada. He had examin-
ed two or three Of the States witnesses
and had then appealed the case to the
Superior Court.

COMMERCIAL CLUB ACTIVITIES

considerable service within the
last few months in preventing I'M
woI thy solicitation and sales schemes

use could be made of this service of

Hacker, Secretary, stated yesterday.
Except in the instance If well rec
ogniZed and properly regulated char
table institutions, including several
local agencies, Salvation Army, ETC.,
the people should beware of solicit
ors, and especially beggars," Mr..
Hacker said cable bodied men are
selling lead pencils. or presenting
slips of various kinds claiming them
selves unable to work and collecting
money locally. Some OF these may
be entitled to assistance, but the
greater number could be and should
be making honest efforts to make a
living instead of appealing to the
sympathy IF others. 1t is best, .eX-
cept in very evident cases, to send
these people, as we'll as stock sales
men, magazine solicitors, advertis-
ing statesmen, and others, to the
Commercial Club Office for investiga-
ton"
