The court upheld the District Attorney and tiie counsel was not recognized.

This scene preceded another— more sensational. Mrs. Carman was admit ted to the room and walked directly to where the pair were standing. She demanded the money from the nurse, who turned to Dr. Carman for his ap proval. \Give it to her if she wants it,” the doctor says he told her. It was apparently as a receipt for the payment of the money that Mrs. Carman delivered the cuff upon the cheek of the doctor’s visitor. On the evening of this seance in the physician's private office, the shades I of the west window overlooking the j lawn were up, Mrs. Carman had gone to the yard. It was dark outside. Dr. Carman thought it was about 8.30, but he had no way of telling. \There was no other occurence of this kind in my office,' said the doctor. \I told Mrs. Carman that if she ever cam e into my office while there was a patient there again, it would be ait off between us. That s all I remember of the incident. There has been no quar rel since that time and she has been out with me almost every night. We were down on Kennedy s yacht over Saturday and Sunday. There was no misunderstanding or cross words and no unpleasant business.” .

'PHONE, 30 FREEPORT IF YOU ARE A TAXPAPER OR A VOTER THIS MAY INTEREST YOU A new form of paper ballot will he used lor slate and local offices at the election of November, 1914. 1 his ballot is a very difficult affair to vote. In addition, there will be another ballot for voting eighteen delegates to the Con stitutional Convention. Still further, there will be another ballot for voting on some questions. 1 be Legislature has provided by the new law, that where paper ballots are used, the districts must be made much smaller, as the voting will be very slow. Even then, there is likely to be great trouble and confusion, as a glance 'at the new ballot will show at once. In addition to this trouble to the voters, there will be a large added ex pense to the taxpayers, as it is going to cost the town over $3,000. more at each election than under the old system. But by installing Voting Machines, there will be no trouble in handling the vote under the present districts, as an examination of the machine now on exhi bition at the Town Hall will show, and the voting machine law provides that the present districts will not have to be changed il machines arc used. All three ballots will be voted on the machine.
