 Cases that Cons from NaugatuckE
 Attorneys Kennedy and Weary added two more victories to their list this morning in the district court In the case of the state against Patrick Marooney, charged with selling liquor after hours, Chief Horsford said that on March 10 he saw coming from Marooney's saloon at 1l:25 John Morrissey. Thomas Delaney. Ter renee Connors, John Walsh and Michael Hanley. Hs followed Delaney to his house and saw him carry A pail of beer. which he got at Marooney's. Condon saw the men, but did not know who they were. Delaney said he was in Marooney's saloon at 1 o'clock. the only time during that day. John Dooley said he was at Delaney's house from o'clock on the night in ques- ton until the officers came there and Delaney was there all the time. Morris sey Hanley and Walsh left the saloon at 1O:55, being ordered out by Marooney. They stood talking in front of the house and Terrence Connors came along and stopped talking with them. Connors swore he had not been in Marooney's sa- loon for over n week preceding the time in question. The case was tried before Jus tice Hungerford and Marooney was fined $50 and costs. It was appealed and tried last September, when the jury disagreed. It was evident to-day that the jury did not | believe Chief Horsfords testimony. for they were out only twenty minutes. when they returned with verdict of not guilty.
 Another peculiar case with as peculiar an ending was won by Attorney Kennedy. Patrick I. Cooney was charged with selling on Sunday. In the lower court he was fined by Justice Hungerford $50 and costs. | Clerk Root started to read the complaint as follows: Town of Naugatuck, the 24th day of September 1894. before Charles F Hungerford, justice of the peace in New l Haven County, comes Carlos H. Storrs prosecuting agent for New Haven county. and on his oath of office complaint and in- 1 formation makes. that on the 23rd day of September. A. D. 1891. at said town ot Derby. Patrick J. Cooney-"The clerk got no further in the complaint. as prose. cutting Attorney Kellogg saw that Storrs, had made a mistake in having Derby in place of Naugatuck. He aked to amend the complaint. but Attorney Kennedy argued that it could not legally be done. He said l that Attorney Storrs lives in Seymour, practices law in Ansonia. has his com p1aints printed in Derby and prosecute: | liquor dealers in Naugatuck and he was not surprised that the lawyer should com init an error. Judge Bradstreet said it was only Tn keeping with the other NaugatucI cases that came to this court. and he or dered it erased from the docket. The complaint was the same under which Jus tice Hupgerford convicted the prisoner iu | the lower court
