"The firm gave Mr.. Townsend its cases In this
city" said Mr.. Benoi until last summer. when
we found that he did not attend TO the business
properly. We then dispensed with his services and
gave our business to Levy & Stuart We used TO
employ an attorney named A. II. Cameron. The
cases brought in court for us by Mr.. Townsend
used to be brought by him In the name Of Mr..
Cameron. Mr.. Cameron recently -etired from prac-
tce but a number OF old cases in which his and
Mr. Townsends names appear are still In the
courts.
when Mr., Cameron left us he transferred these
cases to Levy & Stuart, our present counsel. and
that is how Mr. Townsend's name appeared in the
case brought in the Second District Court. and to
which he referred when making the sensational
charges against us and Mr.. Stuart. All the charges
are false from beginning to end

IMPORTANT TO LIQUOR-SELLERS

Ex-Judge Edward Browne. cour sci 10 the Excise
Board. has rendered important opinion on the
question OF the boards power 10 revoke the licenses
OF liquor sellers convicted OF violating the excise
laws. The law stlpulates that licenses can be re-
voked by the Excise Board on tho second con-
victon Of the lcensee for violation OF the law but
the board knew II the law meant the second
conviction during the term OF one license or during
the entire OF the llquor-seller. Ex-Judge
Browne decided that the convictions must both take
place within n year or the life OF license. He
also decided that the licensee must himself be the
convicted person. and that the arrest and conviction
OF his employees represented nothing. The case now
under consideration BY the Excise Board is that Of
Peer RafalOvltz OF NJ 20 Delarcey-st.. who Was
convicted for violating the law on November or
last year and also November p OF 1898, when he
was selling under a different license. The Excise
Board has been considering the matter OF revoking
