night at No. station on the charge OF
maintaining a speakeasy at his home, 1921
Brightwood avenue northwest. On the
ground floor of his dwelling Freshiettil runs
a confectionery and fruit stand, but the
large number of his cOuntrymen who as

tanned. The Italian was selling liquor with
out q license and within the mile limit.
The cunning Antonio, in some way OBJ
tanned the tip that the police were ION to-
him, and secretly disposed of all the alco-
holic beverages concealed within his place.
Freshiettii thought he would outdo the
police, but the latter had too many wit
nesSeS and could not be outdone. A war
