was of disreputable character. The
first one called was Richard Flecknoe,
who testified as follows: Was Cook
in the Cartwright house. Saw men
and women come there frequently.
Saw them in private rooms together
and served them with drinks while
there. They were not husband and
wife. Here witnesA mentioned the
names of several well known women
about town.
Cross-eXamined-Car ran n
store just above the hotel. Conner
Tasker and Stina Luca were his bar
tenders at different times. AT this
point Judge Lynch asked If the Cart
wright house was licensed, and upon
learning that IL was he said: Bring
me the petition. want to see the
names of the respectable citizens who
asked the court to grant this man a
license"
While Court Crier Barnes was gone
after the petition Stina Luca. the bar
tender referred to in Flecknoe's testi-
mony. was called up.
Il live at Midvale, Worked for Cart
wright as bartender and teamster
seven months. Saw men and women
come there regularly. Served them
with drinks while they were in private
apartments"
At this point Judge Lynch. notified
the clerk to make a rule to show cause
why Cartwright's license should not be
revoked. and made 1t returnable at
next argument court.
But this Is not the end of the Cart
wright matter. There are few sur
prises in store for some of those who
