ley on charge of desertion and non

al. The judge told the respondent
that II he would arrange to go back
to his wife and family of eight minor
children, and pay twelve dollars
weekly to the court until fine and
costs were paid, and furnish bonds
In the amount of $500, he would
place him on probation for a year.
Mr.. Smith could not say whether or
not he would be able to do this, so
the judge said that he would have
to be committed. Deputy Marshal
Thibodeau took the man to Augusta
last night.
Complaint in this case was made
by Mrs. Fannie Smith, wife of the
respondent, the warrant stating that
she was married to Mr.. Smith in
calais in 1909, and that on March /.
1879, he deserted her and the chill
dren, falling TO provide for and sup
port them, and that the family had
become destitute
MIR. Smith. as has been stated. had
been stopping in Lewiston for some
time, and was brought to this city
late Monday night by Deputy Mar
shal Poirier of the local police.

Enthusiastic Meeting
Waterville Lions

The meeting Of the Lions club last
evening at the Elmwood was 4 par
ticularly enthusiastic and enjoyable
one. The luncheon was good, the
singing was full-lunged and merry,
and made more interesting by the able
directing of H. C. Pendergast of Wins.
low and the accompaniment of Lori.
mer Dixon on the piano. The speaker
OF the evening was both interesting
and entertaining, and though quite un-
prepared to deliver an address, Rev
Leopold Fl. r. Haas spoke on the Der.
muda Islands which he has been priv
LEGGED to visit in the past.
His picture of the islands and their
inhabitants was clearly drawn and the
highlights cleverly placed.
lie said there were 365 islands In
the group which was discovered by
the portuguese, who later abandoned
the country and left pigs there which
we're later found by the British. To-
day some Of the money of the islands
contains the stamp of a pig and Is
frequently called pig money"
He mentioned the fact that there
were no wells in Bermuda and that
rain water caught from the roofs was
the sole supply for consumption.
Inc whlteness of the buildings and
the backgrounds of green impressed
him, and likewise the fact that nearly
everything was constructed of stone,
He found only eight automobiles there,
seven of which were trucks used by
the government in road work and so
on, ana the other a passenger car be-
longing to the governor general. Au-
tos were forbidden by law on the Is
lands. He also mentioned a hundred
and one other things of interest, hold
ing the undivided attention of his au-
dience for nearly an hour.

testifying. James Mills, husband Of
the slain woman, sat following the
description of the fatal wounds to his
wife. but showing no emotion. Char
lotte Mills, his daughter, was not in
the seat she had occupied during the
trial.
The three defendants also seemed
to be attentive listeners, although
Mrs. Hall had her head turned away
from the wax figure of the head q
part Of the time. Willie Stevens was
apparently much interested, with
Henry, his brother, less so.
Two finger print experts, Edward
Schwartz of Newark, and Joseph A.
Faurot of New York testified for five
hours, most Of the time In cross ex-
animation, insisting that q finger
print on a calling card of Rev. e. W.
Hall. found near his body, is that of
Willie Stevens, a defendant. Both
were questioned searchingly by the
defense as to possibilities Of error in
their findings, but stood firm, that
the print on the card in evidence IL
that of the left index finger of Willie
Stevens.
The states plans for tomorrow are
said to include calling Of other medi-
cal men who participated in or were
present at the autopsies. Two maids
in the Hall home, Louise Geist Riehl
and Barbara Tough, announced sew
eral times last week as on the verge
of testifying, are also ready.
1t was decided today that a full
days court session will be held Thurs
day, Armistice Day, in spite of its
state wide holiday application.

HALL-MILLS CASE
CONTINUED from Paua Qnel

whose death Mrs. Frances Stevens
Hall and Henry and Willie Stevens
are charged with causing.
Questioning by the prosecutor of
the presence of two or less super
fetal hurts other than the fatal
wounds. on the bodies of the victims,
brought from the witness informa-
ton that Mrs. Mills suffered small
"puncture" of the lip, while Mr.. Hall
had a bruised finger.
1t was indicated that the state
would try to develop that a struggle
preceded the firing of the shots. The
physician did not think either of
these injuries were caused by bull
let's.
The witness said that one bullet
entered the middle of the forehead
another the right cheek and a third
in the head above the right ear. All
We're in a space Of four inches, the
surgeon testified.
The slain rector was shot above the
opening of the right ear, the physi-
clan suggesting that the downward
course OF the bullet indicated that
the weapon had been fired from
above, with the victim possibly stoop-
ing.
When he had said that the three
bullets entering Mrs. Mills head were
confined to space of four inches, DR..
Schultze was asked Wy Prosecutor
Simpson If he did not consider that
pretty good shooting"
Asked instantly by defense counsel.
if he proposed to qualify the witness
as an expert on firearms. Mr.. Simp-
son replied in the affirmative, but
after some discussion, abandoned
that line Of questioning with the
statement he had other frearm ex-
perts. Henry Stevens. one of the de-
PENDANTS, is reputed an excellent
shot.
An effort was made to qualify the
witness in another field
Asked If he could tell from the di
rection Of the bullet how the min
lister might have been standing or
STOPPING when shot, the witness said,
Anybody could"
IF anybody can," said Mr.. Simp-
son. ut will not be necessary to
| qualify as an expert
DR.. Schultze then suggested that
Mr.. Hall might have been wrestling
| with an opponent, who had weapon,
! or with some one trying to wrest a
| weapon from the minister.
The statement that the hypothesis
were 'only guesses" was made under
| cross examination.
