SUPREME COURT

At the opening of court Saturday
morning the civil case of Libby VS.
Lightbody Bros. Inc, Merrill and
Merrill and Blackington, was taken
up. This wcs suit brought by Will
liam Libby, farmer of Norridge-
Wock, for the recovery of $160, the
V3iie of four cattle. The essence of
the case was trade between Libby
and one George Nightingale, an agent
of the corporation, the latter Offering
Ford sedan valued at 1915 for the
four cattle and note for 1929. Libby
claimed that the agent warranted the
car to be in first class running con-
dition but that within the first 100
miles it practically went to pieces.
Libby took the car back to the Light
boly garage in Fairfield and demand
ed the value Of his cattle and the
note, which demand was refused
More or less merriment was caused
by Mr.. Libby when he gave a graphic
description of trip to Livermorc
Falls and return in the sedan. Lloyd
Libby, his son and the chauffeur and
mechanic of the family, testified that
after driving the sedan for few
miles he found that the radiator
leaked, the battery leaked, three of
the four cylinders shot oil, all the
brake bands were gone and low and
reverse gears were out of commits
sion, otherwise the car was all right.
After the PLAINTIFF had rested his
case, the defense offered a motion for
nonsuit on the grounds that the suit
was based on deceit and had not
been maintained according to the
writ. The motion was denied by
Judge Deasey. After an all days
hearing, the case was given to the
jury at $50 and 35 minutes later
returned with verdict for the plain
tiff for $162.40.
Guy Lashen of Pittsfield, indicted
for the sale of liquor, appeared dur
ing the day and changed his plea
of not guilty to guilty.
At the conclusion of the automo-
bile case, the case of State VS. Ellis
worth Stevens of Harmony was tried,
Stevens being charged with the eX-
posing of poison for the killing of
animals. Stevens was represented by
Attorney John Lewis of Skowhegan.
The jury picked for this case con-
sisted of Jennie T. Kreger, foreman,
Kate S. Simpson of Skowhegan, B.
f. Porter of Arson, Allie NJ. Knight
of Skowhegan, Mark Padham of So

In the last basketball games of the

Friday evening, the Five Aces nosed
out the Celtics OF waterville by one
point, the final score standing 20 to

of the home team, was too much for

10 points. Taylor, playing center for
Waterville, carried his team along
with IL points. The real interest of
the evening was in the two Spin
ming Mill teams who played the In
