OF Maine, a man and his wife are
considered one, can testify, and that
this Is why the defense objected to
questions put to them by Mr.. Pat
tangali. when called to the stand the
afternoon the case opened. Mr.. Cow
err said that the defense contended
and expected to prove that BARLEY
never signed the notes, that BARLEY
was not in Jackman on the day of
May IL, 1919. when the notes Were
signed, but had gone to Croker
pond. fishing. and did not return un-
til early in the morning of the next
day. The defense also maintains that
if BARLEY did sign the notes they
were given for illegal purposes. Mr..
Cover dwelt for a considerable time
upon the liquor deal between Bart
ley and Burke, which Burke testified
to in former trials. A drawing was
placed upon the board, showing the
position of the place where the liquor
was said to have been stored and
where it was also said to have dis
appeared. Mr.. Cover said the de.
Tense did not believe that BARLEY
and Burke ever got this large guam
tity of liquor from Quebec, as men
who were passing and repassing the
barn where it was said to have been
stored never saw anything of the
liquor. The plantation offices which
Burke held and his being short Of
funds and having to use the planta-
tion's money were also referred TO by
Mr.. Cover. After Mr.. Cover closed
his presentation, a recess was de-
clared.
After recess. Attorney ]. RI. Hud
son of Guilford, the third attorney Of
the defense. read extracts from the
testimony of Burke at the trial here
on January. 1920, reading portions
that the defense contends are relative
TO the issue in this case. Once dur
ing the reading the court interrupted
Mr.. Hudson and asked whether they
were presenting that testimony to
prove their case or for contradiction
He said if to prove the case. he
would admit it: for contradiction, he
certainly would not. Mr.. Hudson
conferred with Attorneys Littlefield
and Cover for some minutes. and
then continued to read. Mr.. Little
field stated later that they were skip
ping parts Of the testimony, as they
wished at this time to give only the
testimony relative to the illegal LID
uor deal. Other matters they would
later take up by themselves. This
testimony was being given to show
that the liquor transaction was IL
legal. Mr.. Littlefield afterwards said
that if the judge would adjourn
court, it being some after 5. the de-
Tense would go over the testimony
and have it in better shape in the
morning. The judge complied with
This request and adjourned court I'M
