Hear First Case
On May Civil Docket
Before Judge Atchley

The first case to be tried on the
May civil docket OF the Waterville
municipal court came up before
Judge Charles w. Atchley yesterday
afternoon at o'clock when Joseph
=. Buck of Bangor. representing the
r.. A. Buck Shoe Co. of Bangor ap-
peared against William Levine, a
clothing dealer in this city. The suit
was concerning goods sold to Mr..
Levine on August 81, 1923, namely,
several pairs of shoes priced in all at
$l7.s5. Mark j. Bartlett and Carl
Blackington appeared for the plain
tiff and II. Harold Dubord represent
ed Mr.. Levine. Judge Atchley re-
served his decision.
Mr.. Buck went on the stand for
his company and William Levine and
Thomas Lessor. testified in defense.
The story of the case as told by the
witnesses is as follows: The shoes
were shipped to Mr.. Levine in Au-
gust 1923 and Mr.. Levine said that
he ordered them and he received
them into his store and placed them
on his shelves. He found out later
that the shoes were made on such
narrow lasts that he was unable to
sell them TO any of his customers, SO
five or six weeks later he packed
them and sent them back to the Buck
Shoe company.
1t seems that Mr.. Buck had given
orders that nothing should be ac-
copied returned from Mr.. Levine as
he claimed sometime before that Mr..
Levine when he returned some shoes
that the company had not made for
five years. A young man named Lar-
rabee had been given strict orders
not to accept any returned packages
from Mr.. Levine but he disregarded
his orders and signed for this pack
age. The shoes were unopened and
mislaid and when they were found
some months later Mr.. Buck return
ed them to sthe Waterville express
office and as far as anyone in court
knew the package was still there as
Mr.. Levine had refused to take 1t
back.
Mr.. Dubord and Mr.. Bartlett
argued briefly and the judge an
nounced that his decision would be
reserved. 4
