Cases In COURT.
Members of the Club Are Now Thinking OF
Bringing Suit Against the City.
Liquors Seized By the Police
at the FairlaWn Club
Ordered Returned to Organization
By Judge Bl0dgett Today.

The principal and most important case
in the District Court before Judge Biod-
gett this morning, was that OF the police
against the Fairlawn improvement and
Social Club. The fact that there was cor
siderable interest taken in the matter was
apparent from the large number Of specta
tors present. The result OF the trial was
somewhat of a surprise to the police de-
partment as il resulted in signal victory
for the Fairlawn people, who still had am
munition i'm reserve.
City Solicitor jerks appeared for the.
prosecution and j. Osfield, Jr., Tor the de-
fence. The case was really 'a'nst James
w. Wharmby, secretary of the organi2a.
tion, and was somewhat of a test case.
The prosecution called Detective Haber-
lin and Officers Rockford, Joseph Smith
and Murphy to the stand. Their test-
nony was principally regarding the char
acter Of the place and what they discov-
cred when visited by them on the raid
made on Sunday, April u. The details of
the visit made by the police are still
familiar.
Attorney Osfield called Mr.. Wharmby
to the stand, after hearing his testimony,
Judge Blodgett said it would be unneces-
sary to call any of the other fifteen wit
nesses In waiting, and ordered the dis
charge Of the Secretary, and also instructed
the police to return the liquors, and other
articles removed from the clubhouse.
The ruling made by the court is on the
grounds that the members of the club have
right to purchase liquors for their own
use. No sale was proven, and according
to the secretary the members took out the
equivalent in checks for the money paid i'm
for the purchase of liquors. II was report
ed after the trial that the club are think
ing of bringing u suit for damages, and
the Secretary for false imprisonment.
