John M. Glidden of Newcastle at the April term of court which opened here on Tuesday will provide some of the most sensational testimony Lincoln county. hay ever heard in a case of its kind. An attachment upon the Glidden estate for $100,000 was made the latter part of February, but the divorce writ was not filed until Tuesday. 1t is expected that the case will be tried this week.

As the story goes, the real trouble in their family affairs started during the fall and winter of 1921-22 when Mrs. Amy Rose, who is mentioned in the writ, came here from New York to be with her mother, Mrs. J. M. WInant, who lived in Edgecomb.

Mrs. Winant was seriously ill and died during the winter. About the same time Mrs. Rose became a widow, her husband dying in a sanitorium. Now, Mrs.

Rose was like a picture from fashion book--one of those which lean to the daring in costume. She was stunning. Some of the Newcastle women, as well as those off Damariscotta, to be sure, were a bit critical. But the men!

It Is alleged that every time he went duck or fox hunting his trail led to the Winant farm in Edgecomb and that he passed much of his in the company of the widow, until after she left Edgecomb and went to Portland. Then, according to the claims of the wife, things went from bad to worse. Sho gave way to her suspicions.

As a result of her Investigation the divorce suit was brought. Mr. Glidden was a Harvard man of the class of 1900, the son of John Glidden, deceased, who got his title on the staff of Gov. Powers of Maine. His mother, was a member of a prominent New York family.
