Declares Divorce Pro-
ceedings Have Not
Been Contemplated
Infers Report Is
an Effort to Injure
Kennebec County
Sheriff and Her

A fiat denial that any divorce pro-
ceedins are contemplated by her,
was made Tuesday afternoon by
Mrs. John M. Eastman, wife of
Sheriff Eastman, when interviewed
at the Kennebec county Jail. Mrs.
Eastman declared that the story
which has been circulated, in which
1t was declared that she was living
at their Benton home and that d.
vorce proceedings have been or
would be Instituted, was evidently
the work of some one who wished
to injure both herself and Mr.. East
man.
Mrs. Eastman stated that she had
been in conference with her attor-
ney James w. Boyle of Waterville
but said that the subject of the con-
ference had nothing to do with a
divorce. She also said that on Mon
day evening she received a tele-
phone call purporting to be from an
out-of-town newspaper in which the
party calling stated that woman
who claimed that she was in the
employ of Augusta and Waterville
parties had brought to them an arti-
Gle stating that a divorce was con-
templated and had requested that 1t
be published: At that time Mrs.
Eastman denied that such was the
case and requested that no atten-
ton be paid to anything of that ma
ture
