by Pope Plus to Cardinal Gasparri, the
papal secretary of state.
Referring obviously to the repara-

Roy Pray, formerly of this city. now
located at Moscow. was arraigned in
municipal court Thursday morning on
a charge of obtaining money under
false pretences, on warrant sworn
out by Scott Hewins of this city. The
case took considerable time and much
testimony was introduced both by the
State and by the defense. Attorney
Melvin f. Sawtelle represented the
complainants and Attorney Gordon Gal
lert the respondent. After hearing all
tho evidence Judge Cony continued the
case from day to day to give Prayer
opportunity to settle the matter BY
making good their losses TO Mr.. Hew'
ms and to n. A. Pierce, who was com.
plainant with him.
The case was the result Of the sale
by Pray to these two men Of some au-
tomobile shoes or tires. which they
claimed were not as represented. and
on which Pray had failed to secure any
adjustment by the manufacturers. after
he had been informed that they were
unsatisfactory. 1t came out in the
testimony that Pray had acted only as
agent of the manufacturers in the sale
of these tires and had never handled
either the tires or the money for them.

A fine banquet was served by the
management of the Augusta House
to the kiwanis Club. which had as
its guests about a dozen members of
the baby club OF Maine which was
recently formed in Waterville. Music
for the occasion was furnished by a
quartette composed of Herbert Good
win, Keith Ryan, Mrs. j. A. Ander-
son and Mrs. NJ. +. Sawtelle, with
Mrs. Herbert Goodwin at the piano
and by Douglass Melody Men with
five pieces. The quartette sang three
beautiful selections and in addition,
Mr.. Ryan sang a beautiful solo and
was forced to respond with an en-
core. TIE orchestra played numer-
Gus popular airs from "Oh You Beau

blown out after being driven only about
three miles, and he had been advised
by vulcaniZers that the casing was not
worth repairing.
The principal contention of the State
was over the point of intent to dcfraud
at the time of the sales, and evidence
was introduced tending to show the
existence of such intent by Pray's con-
duct in failing to make satisfactory adj
justment of the matter. Several wit
nesses were sworn and gave testimony
for both sides. The defense claimed
that Pray made the sales in quest ion
in good faith. that he did all in his
power to adjust the matter. and that
there was no intent or instance Of
fraud or of obtaining money. as he had
not even received any commission on
the sales. Attorney Gallcrt attempted
to show that Pray was the victim of
circumstances and was being made the
goat" for the act Of interruptions
manufacturers.
Judge Cony believed that there was
an unnecessary absence Of certain let.
ters and documents, which were claim.
ed to have been written the manufac-
turers by Pray in regard to the tires
in question, and felt that Pray as agent
was responsible to his customers. and
therefore provided him the opportuni-
ty of settling the matter out of court
by continuing the case from day to day.
