IN THE POLICE COURT
Case Against Charles nesser NsIlsd
 This Morning.

The case against Charles w. Messer for selling liquor without q license on October P collapsed in the city court this morning before word for the de- fense was heard Had Charles Shep- ard, a painter, been in court yesterday morning the case would have been dis posed of then. Prosecutor Pierce more than intimated that Shepard had been influenced by the defense to remain away, but this was refuted by Attor- ney Guilfoile. Shepard was arrested on a capias and locked up for two hours, when it was discovered that mistake had been made in the sub poena.
 This morning shepard and the other witnesses, William Dilliber, an em- ploye of the Waterbury Manufacturing Go, were on hand and after the case against Shepard for not being in court yesterday was nolled, he was sworn. He testified that with Dilliber he was ill NIesser's new club on October ? and had two glasses of beer. The drink was not paid for then, but he signed the usual slip, being member of the club. The New Acme club is its name, and the rooms are at 115 South Main street.
 At that time, however, Shepard said he did not know the name of the club He had been member of the Centra, club, but he left that and joined the new one. Shepard admitted that he did say that he paid Messer for the two drinks of beer and that he would swear to it, but he would now say that statement was false. John A. Wells of the Central club was the man to whom he said this. Shepard said he was a member of the Central club for six months, and it was in the Central club he made the above statement. A friend then took him to a lawyer, to whom he repeated this statement At torney Pierce here objected to this course of examination on the ground that it did not tend to show whether or not Messer sold drink on the date named Attorney Guilfoile claimed the testimony showed that Messer was the victim of a conspiracy. Attorney Pierce's objection was sustained.
 Delliber then took the stand. He said he lives on North Main street and that he drank with Shepard in Messer's new club, but no money was paid. He Is not q member of the club At this point Attorney Pierce saw it was no use going any further and stated that he would nolle the case.
 Attorney Guilfoile then stated that this case was cooked up in the Central club. after it had been stolen from his client
