 examined, among them being Mr Mc- ,

 C. E. Philbrook, J. P. Dubey, R. L. ^

 J. H. Stuart and many others. Several 

 depositions have also been introduced, 

 including that of E. A. Noyes, treasur- ^ 

 er of the Portland Savings bank. The 

 defence expects to finish its evidence 

 today, though this seems improbable. 

 The arguments will be submitted in 

 writing at a later date.

G. N. McMillan and a part of his 

 family are now installed in their sum- 

 mer home in Shelburne for the. season, 

 Mrs McMillan being yet in Boston. Mr 

 McMillan arrived Friday from Boston 

 in his new Maxwell 40-horsepower 

 touring car. It is a handsome machine, 

 and its power ought to enable it to ne- 

 gotiate any of the hills in this part of 

 the country with ease.
