OF Ter society and seryices. ln

The jury after being out Tor an
hour brought in a verdict for the

in, the first case. The court after
thanking the Jurors discharged
them from any further attendant
this term.
The case Of Albert Bothman who
seeks to obtain license Tor his
restaurant at Seventh and Shipley
streets was the first OF the liquor
cases called. Walter H. Hayes
and Daniel Il. Marvil were coun.
sci for Mr.. Bothman and William
S, Pnckett opposed the granting of
the license on behalf Of the Law
and Order Society. Captain Wood
William H. .Heine. John Taylor.
Albert Bucher. John Brison and
Will am l.. Dockstadcr all business
men ia that immediate neig bor-
hood testified that the granting OF
a license for the restaurant was a
necessity lor the accommodation OF
the public.
The case against Joseph Corri.
gan WHO conducts a saloon at Nos
8ll West Second street which wa
formerly known as ''Hells Kitchen
was taken up. 1t appears that
Attorney General Ward has pre-.
pared an indictment against Corri.
gan charging him with selling liq.
uor on Sunday April 9th but
withheld it until the next term of
court.
The charge filed in the remon.
strances are. that Corrigan. on the
Sunday mentioned and on other Sun

persons.
William s. Prickett who Is prose-

B. Evans who represents Corrigan,
said The witnesses had been before
the Altornty General last week and
he could not see why they could not
at This time.
Mr.. Prickett had no witnesses but
argued for a short time against the
granting of the license. Mr.. Prickett
said persons who wanted liquor with
their meals could easily walk to Aims
cows which is but two squares away.
Judge Marvil said that the city had
outgrown Mr.. Anscow's restaurant.
and that one in the vicinity of Mr..
was badly needed. He
said If the license was granted the
restaurant would be conducted in such
l manner that he was sure the Law
Ind Order Society could have no
objections.
We said the restaurant was the
argest In the city and would accom-
nodate between l5O and 200 persons.
The Court will probably give its
lecision in the above case this after
noon.

fifteen men enter Corriga MS saloon
