GIVEN A. HEARING
Mr. johnson was present and hearing
was granted to him. He said that his
house would compare favorably with any
others in the city There is only one
thing don't do. I don't run an open
bar You know all the rest do. None
of my neighbors object to my house.
Alderman Thompson asked him if in
his testimony in the police cases he didn't
say that people came there and he didn't
ask them for marriage certificate.
johnson admitted that he did say this
in his testimony in the Miles case, but
that if men and women came there he
couldn't ask if they were married, and
wasn't any different in this respect from
other inn-holders.
Alderman Thompson declared that it
must be that the marshal had good and
sufficient reason for not signing that
license He is supposed to know about
these matters more than the aldermen.
