to Mr.. Rowe that he did not know
all of the bounds himself and so told
Mr.. Rowe, but that he did tell him
there were 125 acres in the farm. He
stated that originally there had been
a mortgage given by the owner of
the land to another and that two
different assignments of this mort
gage had been made, one of which
he had lated purchased. He had Sc
cure title to the land by foreclosure
and had transferred 1t to the Casco
Realty Improvement Co. of which he
is treasurer. Later it had been con-
veyed to Mr.. Rowe under certain
conditions, agreeing in the main with
what had been testified to by Mr..
Rowe. Still later he had found that
there was another assignment of the
mortgage and he had bought that,
but feeling that everything was COW
cred by his deed to the Casco Com
pany he had done nothing more about
1t. The papers of foreclosure he had
sent to Mr.. Rowe's attorney but they
had not been recorded within the 80
day limit. and he had told Mr.. Rowe
that the foreclosure was of no effect.
He had instructed Rowe to transfer
1t back to him, which was done by
been recorded, and had made a con-
tract to foreclosure within ten days
which he did Since that time he has
had the deed ready for Mr.. Rowe
whenever he should ask for it. He
declared that a release of some sort
was sent to him to sign but that he
did not do SO as he was afraid 1t
would jeopardize the mortgage which
he held from Mr. Rowe.
On cross examination he testified
that he had not sent the deed to Mr..
Rowe because he was afraid it would
be lost. although he knew that by
so doing he might avoid Lave suit.
A motion was presented by Attor-
ney Ralph Farris, representing Mr..
Kerr, asking for a directed verdict on
the grounds that the plaintiff had
not made out a case, but this was
dismissed by Judge Fisher who de-
clared that the case should 60 to
the jury. Court then adjourned until
10 o'clock this morning.

TWO BIC AUDIENCES ENJOY FIFTH
ANNUAL STAGE Presentation BY
TALENTED ST. MARY'S PLAYERS
INVOLVED TITLE
MANCHESTER FARM
SUBJECT OF SUIT

A most confusing case Is that Of
Ansel B. Rowe Of Manchester VS..
Theodore Kerr of Westbrook. in
which Mr.. Rowe charges misrepre-
sentation Of a farm, which he after
ward purchased and in which he
names an ad damnum of $4,000
which was begun on Monday morn
ing at the Kennebec County Superior
court. Practically all Of the evidence
had been introduced when court ad-
journed last night and the case will
probably 60 to the jury this fore
noon.
Mr.. Rowe testifie that he had pur-
chased a farm in Manchester from
Mr.. Kerr. giving in return land and
buildings which he owned in South
Portland and which was valued at
$4,000, and 5000 ito boot" He testi-
fed that he later found that the
bounds of his farm were not as
pointed out and that whereas he had
been assured that the land was free
from membranes, he had been I'M
able to sell it because there was a
cloud on the title. This was mort
gage for $4,000. He had taken this
matter up with Mr.. Kerr who had
foreclosed on it for him but the fore
closure had not been recorded within
80 days and he had later been told
by Mr.. Kerr that because of that the
foreclosure was of no value to him,
and the plaintiff must transfer the
prperty back to Kerr, who would
again foreclose and after the pro-
perty was clear would transfer II
back to Rowe. This as done but Rowe
declared that he had never received
any deed. He had before this bor-
rowed certain sums of money from
Kerr, giving in return four mortgages
for total of nearly $4,000.
He declared that on August last,
Mr.. Kerr presented a paper for him
to sign when he was in Westbrook
and that because he was in a hurry
to- get car he signed it without
reading it believing that it was to
facilitate clearing UP the title. He
later found this paper to be an in
strument which releases Kerr from
any obligation due to any imperfec-
ton in the title. At the time he did
not have his glasses and could not
read the paper.
Attorney Frank G. harrington tes-
titled that he had loked up the title
of the land and had found such eff
fects in it that he would not recon-
iiOHu IL " TIE Dduk WHICH he rep
resented. Henry Van Buren, who
witnessed some of the papers, testi-
fled as to his understanding Of the
deal, and Mrs. Annie Mower of Bath
who was housekeeper for Mr.. Rowe
when he lived in South Portland, tes-
titled that she had heard Kerr tell
Rowe before the transfer was made
that the land was free and clear OF
membranes. Mrs. Ella Mcintosh OF
Augusta. a real estate dealer who had
had the property to dispose of a,
one time, George Blanche and W. A
Brown who live near Mr.. Rowe in
Manchester, testified as to the value
of the property or to certain pieces
of land which Mr.. Rowe claimed he
believed to be a part of his farm bu,
which he later found were not.
, Mr.. Kerr was called to the stand
in his own defense. He declared that
he had not misrepresented the land

NAMES GUARDIANS OF The HIGHWAYS
ARRIVE FOR INTENSIVE COURSE TRAINING
BY Radio Fans
Bowdoin Clubs
Widely Praised

While the 1926 Bowdoin College
Musical clubs. which appear in a
combined concert Friday evening,
April 18th at Augusta City hall, have
never appeared in Augusta, yet there
are many Augusta people who have
heard strains from their program
without leaving the city. All Of which
may sound like a paradox until 1t Is
explained that on their recent Massa-
chusetts tour. the entire program Of
he organization. was broadcast from
radio station WBZ Of Springfield, the
occasion being q concert at Hotel
Brunswick.
The broadcast was given on the
second evening of their tour. AS soon
congratulation began to pour into
WBZ station. A great many of these
kilograms came from Bowdoin alum
nj who had listened In with particu-
lar interest, while others were re-
ceived from friends Of the college
everywhere. The Boston Post print
ed a very fine article the following
morning in regard to this perform
ance and expressed the fact that
there ought to be greater number Of
such concerts broadcast, for they are
one of the finest types to put before
the radio public.
The Bowdoin clubs met with very
f1attering success on this tour which
included concerts at Boston, Danvers,
Quincy. Brookline, and Wheaton coll
lege. They also enjoyed an extended
tour through New York and Philadel-
phia. On this trip they gave joint
concert with the Beverly Mems Sing
ing club.
The clubs also established a prece-
dent when they united for the first
time in joint concert of the Bowdoin
and Bates Musical clubs at Lewiston

Mass. and r. /. Has a
WObbly Boundary

Bellingham. Mass, April 12-(AP)
The Massachusetts, Rhode Island
boundary line has had q wobbly his
tory. The recent action Of residents
Of the South Bellingham district Of
Bellingham and of section OF
Blackstone in seeking annexation to
the city Of Woonsocket, r. l.. Is only
a repetition of many similar switches
between the two states.
After Roger Williams had started
the white mans regime In Rhode Is
land and the Providence Plantations
by establishing his settlement at
Providence in 1885 there was a SERIES
of disputes between the Rhode Is
land authorities and the Plymouth
and Massachusetts Bay colonies as to
jurisdiction over various districts.
In 1746 King George II, took a hand
and by royal decree adjusted the
eastern boundary of Rhode Island.
BY this decree parts of Swansea
and Rehoboth, Mass, went into
Rhode Island and formed what is
now the town of Darlington. Bristol,
which had been incorporated by
Plymouth Colony, also was trans
ferred to Rhode Island together with
Little Compton, Tiverton and Attle-
boro Gore, the last named becoming
the. town of Cumberland. from which
Woonsocket was set off in 1867.
But this didn't end the trouble.
Controversies dragged along in the
border towns until in 1851 the whole
problem was put up to the U. s.
supreme court. In 1852 the court
established definite line.
This decision took away from
Massachusetts a part of SeekonK,
which became East Providence, r. l.,
and almost the whole Of Pawtucket,
which retained its name under Rhode
Island jurisdiction. Massachusetts
gained a part of Tiverton which was
annexed to Fall River and certain
other lands which were added to
Seekonk and Westport.
1t was this settlement which gave
Westport the village of Acoaxet cut
off from the rest Of the town by
water and this spring a petitioner
for establishment as separate town.
