No sufficlent ev- idence was introdyced to prove hibit- unl . intemperance and all claim to = decree upon that ground was expressly abandoned- by/the plaintiff's counfel in WEATHER Conditions The Atlantic coast storm has co tinued to move rapidly northeastward and it was centered over Newfound- and Wednesday night.

Pieces of brick and mortar were brough ip exhibits in the case. The plaintiff Tested at 11:37 and the defendaf¥'s first witness was Jo- seph A. St. Germaine, a builder.
