After hearing one witness for the
State in the case Of State VS.. Harold
Sprague Of Corinna charged with de-
sertion of minor child, it was
agreed by County Attorney Walter
NJ. Sanborn representing the State
and Attorney James B. Perkins OF
| this city representing the respon-
dent that the child's welfare might
best be cared for through an ar
rangement whereby, upon an order
signed by Sprague, his employer, q
| Mr.. Thibodeau of Waterville, should
pay to Mrs. Sprague the sum of 81
| from his salary each week for the
care of the child. The case was then
| mol pressed.
Mrs. Hazel sprague. the child's
mother. testified that she and Mr.
| Sprague and the child had been liv-
ing at the farm owned by Henry
! Cummings since last July and that
Mr.. Sprague had managed the farm
| and she had done the house work.
On January "a Sprague had LETT her
! and had not since returned except
for about two hours a few days later.
He had then occurred a position In
Burnham. Hefhad left her about 81
when he departed and had since con-
tributed nothing toward the support
ceived but two letters from him.
The child's wardrobe had been in
| very poor shape and her husband had
not provided him with sufficient
clothing. Since the father left she
had been supporting the child and at
| the present time is employed in
winthrop and of the 81 that she re-
ceives as weekly wages she is
obliged to pay IS for the board of
the child. She has provided him
with some clothing and a woman
there has given him quite lot.
Upon cross examination it was
brought out that it was the under
/; standing when Mr.. Sprague left that
she should later join him with the
child. When he mad returned to see
her that day he had asked her to go
to Burnham Junction with him, but
later he had telephoned her not to
come. He had later written her to
come there and had offered to send
her mnoey with w.ich to make the
trip.
A letter was produced and read.
written by Mr.. Sprague to her on
Feb. "a and postmarked Feb. 20, in
which he pleaded with her to come
with him as he had steady employ
Iment for the summer and felt that
they would be happy. He said that
he would send her no money If she
persisted in staying in Winthrop as
the trouble was due to her mother.
The complaint was taken out few
days after this letter, according to
the witness. The arrangement
above referred to was made follow
ing the testimony by this witness.
