SORDID CASE CO TO STRANGE ENDING IN MUNICIPAL COURT
Bath Maine municipal court faced a bizarre turn as County Attorney Aldrich accused a 13-year-old Topsham girl of perjury while her father Harold Groves, a 39-year-old Topsham laborer, faced morals charges. The girl denied prior statements about her father and alleged abortion, though she signed a statement later deemed untrue. The perjury motion was held pending, Groves was discharged, and the abortion case remained set for March 1 with the daughter’s testimony playing a minor role.
