The plan of the Republicans is for
an immediate passing of the immigra-
ton bill which failed of passage at the
last session. The President and ma
jority of the Republican senators and
representatives apparently want to
have this bill put through in just the
form in which il was passed at the last
session, but influences have been
brought to bear on some of the men,

Affections

Tuesday, April 18th, the above
case came up for trial in the Supreme
Court at Bangor before Hon. Leslie c..

lasted three days and about thirty wit
nesses testified.
All the parties live in Newport. Mr..

Jones was partner in the Jones and
Mckinney Drug Store, over which was
the tenement occupied by the Smiths
In the fall of 1919 Mr.. Smith testified
that the attitude of his wife toward
him changed from being affectionate
to one of GOODNESS and open hostility,
and that in the spring of 1920 his wife
told him she didn't care any more for
him, that she liked Jones and should
be with him all she liked. On March
Is, 1920 he told her she must either
cease her relations with Jones or get
out and on that day she left him. For

Carl Weymouth and John Nutter tes-
titled to having many times seen Mr..

while Mr.. Smith was at work, and
that many times they had seen Mrs.
Smith come out of the Jones store
after midnight, and that the lights in
the store were off all the evening and
the lights turned out while she was
there.
Mr.. Jones said that he used to go
upstairs to get hot water to fix the
roof, or to do little errands, and that
she never came into the store except
to buy gum, bromo settler or to tele-
phone.

Judge Cornish requested the jury, in
addition to bringing in their verdict,

Did the defendant, Jones, commit adul-
terry with Mabel NJ Smith. The jury
answered Yes" 2. Did the defend
ant entice Mabel M. Smith to leave
her husband. This question the jury
declined to answer. They found YER
dict for the plaintiff Smith, for

rill, for the plaintiff. Mr. Smith.

former residents of this county, both
