 ciuues their friends. Spontaneously
 there went from them all as in one
 great voice cry or derision and

 Prosecuting Agent Pierce stated to- day that so far as he knew the private
 detectives that have brought so many llquor cases before the city court had no more complaints. Regarding the
 case against Daniel E. Foley of Bald
 win street there appears to have been
 a grleVous mistake made by Mir Pierce
 The complaint charges Mr Foley with
 selling without license on October s. At that time a man named John Leary
 was doing q liquor business at that
 place under regular license issued to him on September IT, about three
 weeks before that date of the com
 plaint that has been issued against Mir Foley. Therefore how MT Foley came to be implicated in the matter is ob- vlously through a mistake on the part
 of the prosecuting agent The com plaint will be nolled tomorrow morn ing in court it is said.
 The public was excluded from the city court room this morning, only at torneys and those who had business there being allowed in the room One eff of hot I,.- batch of saloonkeepers, charged with

 Rosario, six years old. q sister of the complainant, was on the stand almost 1 an hour Her evidence. while of an
 unpublishabie nature was also so con l tradictory that even the court failed | to understand her She was finally ex- 1 cused by the court on the grounds | that she did not comprehend the Ques- l tions asked her and therefore her evil | dence could be of no account to either | side of the case.
