san and nine other men were in the
place when the raid was made. There
were evidences of selling, though no one
was seen drinking when the partolmen
entered the room. Massari, who lives
at the place raided, was taken in Gus
tody. He was, released on. bonds.
The arrest of Henry Candee of CT
Whitney avenue, who will be charged
with profanity in the city court, was a
peculiar sequence of the raid. Candee
was in the headquarters when the pa
| troll wagon was unloaded of the LIQUOR
| with which the patrons of Massari in
| tended to slack their thirst. Just at
that time Captain Wrinn, at the desk,
was very busy preparing the bonds for
| two other prisoners. Candee saw his
| opportunity to have a July thirst satia-
| ted. 1t was more than he could with
| stand, and at the proper moment when
no one beheld him he relieved one of
| the cases of a bottle of the cooling
| beverage.
| The prize secured, Candee had sud
| den thought of a more convenient
place to sample the fluid. Patrolman
| Klaiber was coming in the front door of
the headquarters as Candee passed out
remarking to the officer: GOD helps
him who helps himself" at the same
time holding aloft the bottle, AS soon
| as the patrolman saw the effects of the
raid he said to his superior officer:
Captain Wrinn. That fellow has. got
| bottle of beer A hasty pursuit was
| the result of this announcement, and
| Candee was overtaken just inside of the
Church street entrance of the green.
He did not deny having taken the
| beer, and said that he did SO because
he did not want the patrolmen to drink
|
it,
But the surprise of the whole affair
came when in answer to Captain
Wrinn's question, What is YOU
name?" Candee answered: "Jesus
Christ
Tut! tut! man, you know that is not
your name" said the captain. Can
dee insisted, and when one of the pa,
trolmen who stood near by suggested
| his real name, he said, well, you may
call me that, but my name is Jesus
Christ" Candee spent the balance O.
the day In the lookup.
