takes little more sometimes than
others to make him drunk. A quart
has made him drunk, and he thought
it had stick in it, for he thought he
ought to hold more than q quart of
apple cider before getting tight.
In March last, there was a racket
kicked up there; he was tight and
Mrs. Goldstein requested him to go for
an officer.
Court adjourned.
THURSDAY MORNING.
Harry Bozarth was the first gentle
man on the witness stand this morn
ing when court convened, and he told
the Prosecutor that he had been at
Goldstein's place once. He was in
toxicated and said he could get moth
ing to drink.
Charles Cranier, a young man of
eighteen, said he had purchased a
quart of cider one morning at five
o'clock. The cider had some effect
upon him. He had seen Sam Rodman
and man by the name of Powell go
ing in Goldstein's place drunk on Sun
day. On cross.examination, he said
the effect of the cider upon him was
such "that he did not know hardly
what he was doingn
Officer Samuel CARL gave damaging
testimony. He said that on two or
three occasions he had been called at
Goldstein's place to stop rackets. Only
two weeks ago he dispersed a crowd of
fifty people from in front of the house,
a fight having just taken place. Sew.
eral times he had seen drunken men
coming from the house.
Geo. M. Parvin followed his brother
officer, and gave similar testimony.
Further, he said, he had seen men
coming out of the house, on Sunday
intoxicated. Frequently he had heard
loud noises in the house after mid
night.
The state concluded its case with
this testimony and Mr.. Trenchard
opened for the defense, and Nathan
Goldstein was called. ~
He is a Russian Jew, and for a time
he could not talk very good English.
His wife created q little sensation by
ordering her daughter forward to in
terpret, but of course this was not
allowed.
Nathan told the jury that he had for
the past eight months sold cider, fruit,
etc., on South Pearl street. He denied
positively that he kept disorderly
house. His cider will not make man
drunk. He always attempted to pre-
vent drunken men from entering his
place. Sometimes they came in and
he would put them out. Matison, who
was On the stand yesterday, and made
very serious trouble for him, by re-
peatedly attempting to create dis.
turbance. Nathan said that the po-
lice and Mayor refused to protect him,
he having sent for officers at times and
they would not come. Goldstein said
he never did anything bad in his life" :"
Mr.. Goldstein said nothing was sold
at the house but cider. Some men
had endeavored to make trouble there,
but they never allow drunken men in
the house.
Mrs, Olstein said that she lived in
the adjoining house, aud that the
house was orderly. She referred to a
couple OF rackets down there, but said
that Goldstein wss not responsible.
Neighbors, acquaintances and others
were called by defense and the evil
dence went to show the house W as
orderly and good, and Mr.. Goldstein
was given a good reputation. Then
the case went to the jury.
THURSDAY AFTERNOON,
There were no trials in court Thurs
day afternoon. The Goldstein disor-
derly house case finished the work of
the jurors, and after being out but
short time, that panel brought in
verdict of not guilty, and Goldstein
left the room in happy frame of
mind, and Lawyers Trenchard and
Singer, who had SO ably defended him,
gave satisfied smile.
Prosecutor Logue announced that
he was ready to move the case of the
State against Chas. w. Payne, and the
court ordered panel drawn. Lawyer

attention of the court. He consulted
with his colleague, Mr.. Mitchell, and
then arose and addressing the court,

tion to have the trial go over until the
October court. In support of his ap-
plication he produced an affidavit
which had been sworn to by Wilson
Banks, in which he said that directly
