signed for that day.

to amend Section 3 of Chapter Ill Of
the Revised Statutes of 1916, relating
to persons exempted from serving as

empted persons the wives of men

barrassing situations in jury trials.

81 of the Revised Statutes, as amend
ed by Chapter 16s of Public and Spe-
cial Laws of 1917, relating to burying
grounds. Rep. Larrabee\ of Lewiston

burn, who said the idea Nof the bill
was to make the towns erect and
keep in repair suitable fence around
all burying grounds, keep the head
stones, ETC., in shape and have the
grass moved at least once a year.
The neglect that had been given some
old burying grounds was a disgrace
to the towns and the people.

peared for the bill relating to the
punishment of crime CHINO. 13). He
said it was drawn for the purpose Of
heading off the crime wave that was
spreading through parts of the coun-
try and undoubtedly headed toward
Maine. The bill in most cases would
increase. the present penalties for
crime. He would not discuss the
legal bearings, but he thought it wise

making a start and working out
some method of heading off the crime
wave.
Senate bill No. II, an act to amend
Section 20 of Chapter IS of the Re-
vised Statutes relating to acknowl-
edgement of deeds, was taken into
