! amount to anything. It seems that he secured
evidence Gnough to Narrant the arrest CT W.

ing liquors, contrary to the provisions of the
prohibition law of the state. The arrest took
place this morning and was made by Sheriff

to SlcrDronke today for preliminary hearing.
bat the case not Icing ready for trial no was
placed in bonds CT $500 to appear before JUS
