license cases this morning. John j.
Shea, proprietor OF the Pennsylvania
House, at Front and King streets, was
fortunate. lie was represented by
Peter L. Cooper, Jr., who presented his
case to the court. William S. Pricketf
represented the Law and Order Society.
The principal objection to the granting
of the license was the previous unsav-
ory character Of the place under the
administration OF the Hanrahans. Shea
proved to the satisfaction OF the court
that he was not responsible for that
condition, and finally all three Judges
consented to give him the license.
I'VE mean to hold the owners OF
houses responsible FOR what is done in
them," said Chief Justice Lore, "and
they must so understand 1t, but under
the peculiar circumstances in this case
we think we should grant this license.
Mr. Shea, l hope you Will redeem chat
house. We take you on faith"
Shea gave assurance that he would.
Mr. Priclegt showed disposition 70
make an additional statement to the
court, A large number Of lawyers was
present to bring various matters before
the court, and the table in front Of Mr..
Prickett was loaded down with legal
volumes.
Il don't think that Mr.. Priclcett sees
the books in front of him." said MF.
