SUPREME COURT

At the opening of court Monday
afternoon the case of Jackson VS..
Kennedy which opened Saturday
morning and which has attracted
considerable attention was again
taken up. Chester H. Mills, an at
korney at Jackman was called to the
stand as a witness for the plaintiff.
Mr.. Mills testified that he was called
as attorney for the young men who
were in trouble with State officer
Kennedy. He said that the officer
told him that if Jackson would plead
guilty of reckless driving the other
cases would be dropped. Liquor cases
were finally turned over to customs
officers who settled them in the usual
way. Mills was at Judge Holden
Office the next morning when the
above conversation took place. de
was later called again by John t.
Jackson, father of the plaintiff and
when on the way to the judges Of
nee met Kennedy with Young JACK
son in his sidecar. He asked MN
what he was doing and Kennedy
said he was taking Jackson to SHOW
hogan.
Mills told the officer he could not
do this without q warrant. AKter
some trouble between the elder JACK
son and the officer young jackson
was made to get into the sidecar and
they rode away.
John Z. Jackson, father of the
plaintiff was the next witness. he
said that he had lived in Jacl8man for
Ave years and had been a gme war
den during that time. His statements
were practically the same as the for
mer witnesses excepting that he de-
MED striking the officer. He said ne
was willing his son should be tried
for any case which his son might
have committed but he did not want
him to ride to Skowhegan In the Of
flcers sfiecar.
The plaintiff rested his case at this
point and State Officer Kennedy was
called as first witness for the de-
Tense He claimed that the car he
overlook had every appearance or
having drunken driver that ne
stopped and spoke to Jackson ana
went on. A few miles further on he
had OCCASION to return to reprimand
drivers of two other cars and when
he again overlook the car driven by
jackson, he saw men getting out with
liquor in their pockets and seized
five bottles. He told the men to ap-
pear at Judge Hotden's Office next
morning. He saw Holden and asked
for a warrant and If Judge wanted
to go away the case was postponed
until the second day.
Kennedy had decided then to bring
the matter before the Skowhegan
Municipal court and asked Judge
Holden If a warrant was necessary.
Holden did not know. Kennedy
telephoned Sheriff Healey and Was
told he did not need a warrant. When
Jackson refused to, so with him in
the sidecar he placed him under ar
rest. Later all came to Skowhegan
where warrant was sworn out and
the case was heard.
Officer Kennedy admitted that he
knows how that he had no right to
make the arrest without a warrant.
Sheriff Healey testified to the tele-
phone conversation substantially as
stated by Kennedy. Chief Arthur H.
Field was the last witness for the de-
Tense and testified to talking the case
over with Kennedy. He said he never
gave the officer any instruction. At
this point court adjourned until
Tuesday morning at $50 when the
argument will be given and the case
given to the jury.
