to Ginetto's place at No. u South Ar
iona street, on the evening of the
18th OF the present month and that on
that evening there was a dance in the
house and that more or less beer was
consumed, they partaking of few
drinks in a social way. They ordered
beer first for three persons, and then
again for five, and each time the bill
was 25 cents. The beer was served In
ordinary beer glasses and it was said
to have been drawn from ordinary beer
bottles. They also testified that they
saw wine served to several persons
and that each time the amount was
different but the price the same.
Ginetto, through an interpreter, tes-
titled that he was teamster and a
boarding house keeper and also kept
beer and wine in the house to sell to
his customers, but that he never sold
less than a quart at any time He
said that it was his practice to serve
the beer or wine in the original pack
age and let the customer drink it in
the house or take it away, at the pleas,
ure of the said customer He sought
to impress the court with his knowledge
of the law in regard to the sale of
liquors and the meaning of respective
licenses by repeatedly saying that he
sold the goods only in quart quanti-
ties.
Several witnesses, friends of the de-
PENDANT, stated that they never saw
Ginetto sell in less quantities than one
quart. The court, in passing upon the
case. said that in all fairness to the
Liquor Dealers association Ginetto
should be required to take out retail
license if he proposed to continue the
sale of wines and beer. He thereupon
fined the defendant in the sum of $50.
Attorney Marsh for the defendant gave
notice of appeal.

any city where the prices of the nee
essites of life are even higher than

and that he collects rent roll every
month amounting to an excess of $50
from the row. 1t was also stated and
not contradicted that he has on de-
post in one of the city banks about
$4,000. On the other and very impor-
tant hand, it was shown that the de-
PENDANT is in the habit of associating
almost exclusively with the lewd class
of citizens and upon this fact the pros
ecution based it's action.
City Attorney Lamb prosecuted the
case and M. l.. Wines defended Bar

PENDANT is the biggest pimp on the
street, and l adjudge him guilty as
charged in the complaint and fine him
