he was accused of having picked up u

He was certain that the fault was all

shoulders the court thought diff
ferently and he paid s.. The next
three on the list were common, every

each paid SO. The names which went

as having been there before. His face
was surprisingly familiar. He was
identified as Eddie Bernard, the young
man who went IN on the hill about q
month ago for the larceny of pocket
book. Bernard was released from
jail. Tuesday. and, Wednesday evening,
was pulled in by officer Miron. He
was as certain as n man could be that
he had not been taking anything in the
liquid line so he entered a plea of not
guilty. The officer who made the ar
rest was not on duty and his plea
made it necessary for the accused to
be returned to mis- CELL All the fore

came back on duty. H was then ar
raigned and the court took the testi-
Tnony in the case which went to show

nard was far from a sober man. He
seems to be a sticker, as in all the
times that he has been rounded up he
has never admitted his guilt, but al

says. This was done to the Satisfac-
ton of his honor and he went back up
on the hill for 90 days.
