FUN SONOAL AASOOH oGAA-A~'S ~
A Batch of Gases Disposed of by the
Recorder.
The police court was crowded yester-
day morning with persons interested in
the charges of Sunday liquor selling,
which it had been announced would be
heard then. The cases were all worked
up by Isaac Levy, who was recently en-
gagged to do special detective work. Levy
appears to be great success in making
charges, but whether he will be able TO
esta blish them is another question. He
appears to have made q specially OF the
liquor dealers in the neighborhood OF the
market.
As the result of his evidence ]. H.
Schmiedeberg, George Schwarz, A Get
singer and G.. Neither. were sentenced to
pay the usual fine Of 800 or spend thirty
days in Jail. Levy testified to having OBJ
tanned whisky or beer at each Of these
places on Sunday, July 8. The defend
ants simply entered general denial that
Levy or any one else had obtained liquor
Of any kind at their places on the
Sunday in question, or any other
Sunday. They spoke of Levy in the most
uncomplimentary terms, charging him
with being man of the worst character
and whose oath is absolutely worthless.
| The saloonkeepers say that they will
introduce evidence when the appeal is
heard to prove their charges against
Levy's character.
w. w. Osborne, Esq, represented all
of the defendants named except Mr..
Schwarz. The latter said last night that
his own boarders, of whom there are a
mum ber have been refused intoxicating
drinks on Sunday and he certainly would
not 4 afsaa eli nrs ilrn w
when he refuses TO accommodate his regu-
lar patrons.
Edward L. Everitt was charged by
Levy with selling him a bottle of beer
Monday night
When Mr.. Everitt appeared in court
Levy did not know him, and testified that
he had never seen him before. 1t was
plain there was mistake in the case. 1t
transpired that MIR. Everitt does not
keep any such place as that at which
Levy said he bought beer. Mr.. Everitt
owns the land on which the West End
pavilion is kept by Mr., Lueders, ana
Levy in some way got it in his head that
he was the man he was after. Mr..
Lueders does not sell intoxicating
drinks anyway. Levy produced the
| bottle of what he said was
beer which he had purchased at the pa
vilion. The charge in this case being
son passed upon it as an expert and de-
clared that 1t was mighty poor beer, and
as such might come under the head of
rice beer. The recorder gave him the
benefit of the doubt and dismissed the
| case.
The case against George Beckman, also
made by Levy, was postponed at the re-
| quest of his attorney, P. j. O'Connor,
Esq, who was engaged in the superior
court.
| Levy charged Irene Hall, who lives at
| No. % McDonough street, but who has no
| liquor license, with selling him two bot
ties of beer for which he claimed to have
paid her 81. Irene denied the charge, and
said that she did not admit such people
as Levy TO her house. Levy said he was
served with the beer by a tall blonde.
| The tall blonde skipped to Charleston
when she got the summons to appear in
the police court. The recorder told Irene
to send for the blonde, and postponed the
case to await her return.
There is quite commotion among the
saloonkeepers on account of the cases
made by Levy, especially as it is under
stood that another batch of cases will be
heard in the police court Friday morning.
