positive and straightforward, however,
that the jury believed mis- story. He tes-
titled that on New Years morning, the

and himself were in the Halloran house
hold. and that the deceased walked over
TO cupboard, got bottle out and poured
its contents into a cuD. He filed the cup
to the brim and drank all Of 1t. The little
remaining IN the cup was swallowed by
Mamie Grogan.
Mrs O'Halloran, the mother OF the
dead boy, testified that she got bottle Of
liquor from q saloonkeeper and put the
bottle In the closet. She did not notice
whether any had been drunk when she
returned home. The jury, after being
out few minutes, brought in q verdict
to the effect that the boy died from alco-
holism and that he got the liquor from 9
