TWO LIQUOR TRIALS

Very little is transpiring about the
court which is out of the ordinary.
There is the same picture of squalloI
always seen about a criminal court
and missing about civil one. Poverty
is not a crime, but it looks at times
as though crime and poverty were
| close akin, and in too many instances
poverty is responsible for the commits
sion Of crime
At Judge Gill's suggestion, the bar
met with Judge Denison and went
over the cases now on the docket,
with a view to their setting for the
| present term. They found about 50
cases in which the attorneys were
ready and made certain suggestions
regarding time for trial which the
judge will probably incorporate into
an order The civil torn win not be-
/ gin until the 2sth, and even that date
is contingent upon how well advanced
the criminal work has progressed.
