| couhty attorney said he had no objection
II Mr.. Benson would act as a general wit
ness. Mr.. Benson would not consent so
to act.
John Z. Bunker, jr., first selectman Of
Eden, testified there was a man by the
name OF E. Barry, who il is claimed by the
defense owned the building. Mr.. Bunker
said that in 1904 Barry was taxed with a
poll tax and also for stock in trade that
was kept in the Ford building. A. ".
Wilson came to his Office to make com
plant against nickel in-the-slot ma
chine and that he was intoxicated. He
was In an excited condition because Judge
Clark would not issue warrant against
Herlihy. Wilson started in to clean out
all the slot machines in Bar Harbor, but
went up against snag.
In cross-examination he testified about
the making of rules and regulations by
the selectmen for the police force in re-
gard to the saloon keepers. The county
| attorney tried TO make out that Helihy
was an active supporter of Mr.. Bunker.
Witness and MIR. Wilson had "a scrap in
witness office; no hard feelings alter
| wards. Last saw l.. Barry in Bar Harbor
| last spring.
In the redirect he testified that A. V.
Wilson's reputation for truth and veracity
was rather bad but he was very slow
| about answering.
John f. Knowlon, clerk Of the court,
read an indictment against a certain j. NJ
Mcfarland, who was convicted in 1895 for
| keeping house of ill-fame ON the top of
| Green mountain.
John. II. Bresnahan, tax collector of
Ellsworth, heard testimony of A. Y. Will
| son in both courts, and that he had not
| heard him testify in the lower court that
| he had bought liquor of the respondent
Cross-examination brought out nothing
| new.
The respondent then took the stand in
his own behalf He testified he was room
| ing in the Foss building, and that he
hired the room of Mr.. Barry, and paid
Barry up to the time of the search and
| seizure, and since that time he has paid
the cook. He does not own the building;
| not In business for year and a half; has
| been waiting for a case in law court; said
Wilson had never bought liquor OF re-
| spondent.
| Attorney for defense seemed bound to
| tear the States witnesses to pieces. Re-
| spondent said he had never had any trou-
| BILE with Wilson, had never thrown him
| out of doors, or never had any trouble.
| Frequented the building in question as
| it was where he boarded.
At time of seizure respondent had no
| liquor in the building, and had never had
any; did not use it himself. He was not
in building when liquor was seized, but
was in Boston; he heard OF it and came
home Immediately.
Characterization He paid his board
to the cook. and did not know Barry's
| address.
| The whole defense was general denial
| of the testimony of the State. Nearly ev-
| cry witness was given going over by the
| defense, and there were warm words be-
tween the county attorney and counsel for
| the respondent.
The argument for the respondent was
made this morning, and that for the de-
| Tense this afternoon. The jury has not yet
reported.
