is prominent New York attorney, to
represent her when the case comes up in

Interest in the case has been revived
by visit to West Chester, Pa, by James

Court,

On Tuesday morning Prosecu tor Budd
moved the indictment against Charles
Berndt Sr.. for selling liquor on Sunday at
Riverside.
George M. Bacon represented the defend
ant and his first move was to object to the
trial at one time of the three indictments
against Berndt. The court sustained the
point and the Prosecutor selected the in
dictment he proposed to move.
Atwood Lloyd was the first witness.
He said he went to Berndt's place on Sun
day, December %, and bought whiskey.
treating others who accompanied him to
the place. Lloyd admitted that he had
been special agent for the Liquor Deal
ers' Association, employed to look up
cases of illegal selling.
Martin Carrigan said he was one of the
party that went to Berndt's on the Sun
day in question and bought leer there.
That was not the only Sunday that he
had bought it.
BENJAMIN Wiley went to Berndt's on
December %, In company with Carrigan,
and had two glasses of beer there. Did
not know who tended bar.
Foley Miller said he had been in
Berndts place about dozen times since
July Z, and had beer each time He had
seen lots of people there every Sunday.
Louis Holland had been in the place,
but bis recollection of occurrences was
very poor.
For the defence Charles Berndt, Jr.,
testified that he lived at home and some
times tended bar. He had never seen
any liquor sold in the house on SUNDAYS,
but had seen his father treat friends. On
the 22d of December he was alone at
home, his father and mother having gone
to Moorestown. Lloyd visited the house
and asked for liquor, which was refused.
Charles Fassler had often visited the
hotel and had seen young Berndt refuse
to sell liquor.
Martin Goldsmith keeps a drug store
next door to Berndt. He had never seen
any disorder about the place and thought
the hotel was we'll kept.
The jury did not remain out very long
rendering a verdict of guilty.
AS the indictment tried covered all the
facts in the other cases, Prosecutor BudC
announced that he would not move the
remaining indictments

WANAMAKER CLOTHING


We've got a bully black and
blue Thibet suit for IS. The
only objection to telling of it
is that nine out of ten of our
readers that do not know much
about us will say: It's a lie.
So here's a description of it.
All-wool; serge coat-lining /;
as we'll cut as a $50 suit; as
strongly sewed, but not so fine
stitches; fine enough for the
cloth and the cloth fine
enough for twice the money,
and yet clothing isn't cheaper
this year than it was last year.
If you are a big fat man we
can fit you with it; tall or short.
lfyou are any sort of a regular
man we can fit you with it.
We ought to say the cloth
has been inspected, just as all
our cloths are /; and shrunk, as
all our cloths are; and the
making inspected, as all our
making is 4; thousands Of suits;
and selling, as all our stuff is
your money back if you think
it isn't SO good as we say.
Your money back if you'll
take it.
Queer thing to do: a S.
suit The queerest part of the
business is we make no profit
on it. We think it a bully thing
to do. Have you any objec-
ton?
