CONY HIGH NOTES

The Cony boys varsity basketball
team leaves this afternoon on a trip
to Bangor and Orono. They will play
the high schools in both places be-
fore returning to this city. This eve
ming they will be up against the
crack Bangor High aggregation,
which recently defeated Morse High
OF Bath by a score of 40 to % on the
Morse floor. Cony won from Morse
In this city by score Of 80 to 10 and
the comparison Of these two scores
would indicate that the game would!
be very close. One thing that will
handicap the local boys is the fact
that the Bangor floor is very large
and slippery. However, the boys have
been practicing in City hall lately
and they hope to win from the Ban
gor team and in any event will make
them go the limit.
Saturday evening they will play the
Orono High school boys. They do not
anticipate much trouble in winning
from this team.
1t is expected that the boys will be
entertained at the U. of M. frat.
houses by Cony alumni during their
stay in that vicinity.
The boys making the trip will be:
harrington. IF; Brennan, If; Poor, G.;
Boyd. rg; Knowles. lg; Hewins, sub.
forward; and probably one other sub.
Manager Giddings ana Co, ,ch
Thompson will accompany the team.
The girls basketball team will play
in Skowhegan tonight and as Cony
was defeated here short time ago
by a score Of IA to Z. they will en-
deavor to stage q comet back so that
Skowhegan will have to play some
real basketball if they win this time.

The only positive testimony eliclted
from hiia in direct examination was
that he had seen Miss Knox empty the

1t was In cross s-examination that Mr..

the startling statement about the man
In the black raincoat. .rg
Did You see anybody in the house
during the morning?" asked Mr.. Smith.
NO" answered Roger, but my
sister did,"
WHAT did your sister tell you?''
asked Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. Mayo was on his feet instantly
with an objection, which Judge Chinn
overrulel.
Man Showed Her Back
MY sister Margaret said a man
showed her back when she tried to get
into the kitchen" said Roger. "She
said the man looked like our father
But 1t couldn't have been our father"
added the boy, because he was on his
boat by that time going to work.
Mr.. Smith, satisfied with the boy 8

excused the witness. Roger had taken

''Iiow did the man look?" asked
Mr.. Smith.
"Sister told me the man had on a

Commonwealth Attorney Mayo was
jumping up and down in wild excite.
ment during the cross questioning of
young Roger. He urged that the ques-
tiOns were hearsay, and as such were
forbidden by the rules of evidence.
They are part Of the res gestae, y
argued Mr.. Smith, ''0f the essence of
the case. The rules of evidence permit
hearsay evidence in such case as this
when they have direct bearing on the

Judge Chinn repeated that he would
consider: the arguments of the attor-
neys, and make fnal ruling later.
A minor sensation was caused during
the cross examination Of Mrs. A. II.
Crowthers, wife of the man who found

Z Mr.. Smith cross questioned her
sharply about the Identification of the

'.Why, Mr.. Smith, the witness
said, "you promised me yourself that
no question would be raised about the
Identification Of the hat"
THAT IN not true, did no such
thing" replied the attorney.
