| cant for selling to minors and was dismissed.
| The reason for that was that the man who

| testified differently at the hearing. Squire
| Cassidy intimated very strongly that the
prosecutor had been tampered with. He
said that he saw McDonough and O'Donnell
| together after the information had been
made, and that next day O'Donnell ap-
peared and refused to prosecute.

many people in the Criminal Court who said
they got drunk on this pop"
Mr.. McCarren has not tried for a saloon
license since Mr.. Brooks little law was en-
acted. He said that he was only lessee of
the place, but that no other person had an
interest in the license. He kept a saloon
there for three years, paying $500 license in
1886 and 1887. He averred that during the
last OF those years he sold to no person on
Sunday.
Bernard McGinnis, short, fat and red
faced, looked like cross between German

12-room house of Mrs. Martin Joyce's at
No. 20 Water street, where he had lived
four years. Before 1888 he sold LIQUOR for
two years under S100 license, and since
then has been bottling beer. He sells beer
by the wagon, which sometimes he drives
himself. He says that he has steady Gus

poets to be his own boss. This year he has
not applied for wholesale license
