Petition of Sadie CIoutier
The next petition heard was that
OF Sadie Cloutier of Lewiston, COM
mitted to the women's reformatory
at Skowhegan. Nov. IA, 1928, for the
l.crlme OF adultery. Attorney NJ. L.
Lizotts of Lewiston representing the
petitioner, declared that the woman
had been guilty of adultery upon
three occasions, but he believed that
she had now reformed and was anx-
lous to make home for her two
children. She is now employed at
housework in Portland and is kept
under strict surveillance under the
direction Of the reformatory authori-
ties.
The granting of the petition was
opposed by Elton II. Fales of Lew
to MT
Chlef John II. Ashton of the Lewis
ton police force Attorney Fales
stated that while the woman was
committed to the institution for an
lndeterminate period under the stat

when they were cared for by the Pc
titioner's mother.

formatory. testified that Mrs. Clou-
tier had been unresponsive to the

record in prison, clemency should be
granted. There was no opposition
presented in the matter.

Of this occasion.
Every head was bowed as Johnson

the Winthrop Congregational church
offered the dedicatory prayer. The
Star Spangled Banner was beauti-
fully sung by Mrs. Walter P. STAN

lowed the flag raising.
Francis H. Bate in an impressive
manner spoke the words of dedica-
ton, followed by the dedicatory ad-
dress, delivered by Hon. William

Mrs. Gertrude Bowman

1t was a distinct shock to the Boil
ton Hill people to learn of the untime-
ly death of Mrs. Gertrude Bowman,
who was buried Wednesday in the
Bolton Hill cemetery. Mrs. Bowman,
prior to her marriage, was an Au-
eusta girl, and particularly we'll
known on the Hill, inasmuch as she
attended school here for several
years. She is better remembered to
the local people by her maiden name,
Gertie Emery. Much sympathy is ex-
tended to the bereaved family.

On the same day Mrs. Bowman was
buried her great-aunt, Mrs. Mary

was next to the oldest daughter of
Collins and Martha Howe. Out of a
family of IS, only two are now liv-
ing. Mrs. Eliza Shaw, and Mrs. Henry
Gallon, both residents OF the Bolton
Hill section. Mrs. Scates a life long
resident of Augusta, has passed many
of those years on the hill and dur
ing that time has made a host of
friends to mourn her loss. Burial was
in the Bolton Hill cemetery Saturday
afternoon.

COLLINS EKALTS
PRIVACY OF HOME
Judge Discusses Search and
Seizure at Luncheon.

'The law protects the privacy of
the home, that the owner may close
his doors against all unlicensed
entry and defend the possession and
occupancy Of his home against the
intruder by the employment Of
whatever force may be needed to
secure his privacy, asserted
Criminal Judge James A. Collins in
an address on Search and Seizure"
at noon today at luncheon of the
Indianapolis Engineering Society in
the Board of Trade Bldg.
"In the familiar words of Chat
ham. The poorest man may, in his
cottage, bid defiance to all forces
of the CROWN" asserted the judge.
A careful reading of the 1917 pro-
hibition law will show that it does
not authorize search and seizure for
the express and sole purpose of pro-
curing evidence upon which to base
prosecution, Collins said.

LIKELY TO ALTER
PLANS FOR S. H. S.
Cost Must Be Under Million,
Says Vonnegut.

Alterations in construction plans Of
the new Shortridge High School
seemed certain today when Theodore
F. Vonnegut. school board president,
said the board majority faction
would not go ahead with building
the structure If the total cost Is to
be over S1,000,000.
Preliminary plans prepared by
Kopf & Deering, architects, have
been approved by the board, but
alterations which would bring the
total cost over $1,000.000 were pro-
posed.
One of the proposals was to put a
roof over the building court, to pro-
vide a room for military drill and
track work. Cost of this was esti-
mated at S50,000.
