The first booze cases brought since
the reincarnation of Tim Donovan were
heard in police court last evening, and
six out of the half dozen arrested,
were decorated with the Double Cross,
a distinction frequently conferred upon
Knights of the Foamy Stein.
1t was a clean killing for Tim, and
as he has notified the court that he
wants all cases which viii not make
good in district court dismissed, It is
evident that Judge Urmy considered
the evidence good and plenty.
No sales were proven against the vic
tins. but the nuisance clause, closely
followed by a fine of 500 and 80 days
in hook, was connected with each Of
fender.
Those who sat in and received the
legal massage treatment were Sylvan
Kline. Robert Pigg. Roy Daniels VIII
lis Clough, George Klauer and his
brother. Herman Klauer. The evil
denee was good enough in all the cases
with the exception of Herman Klauer,
who seemed to be guilty of nothing but
allowing his brother to operate a joint
Gin the rear room Of his cigar store.
sAlessrs. Pigg. Daniels and Kline are
pr0prietOrs respectively OF the Might
Blooming Cereus,' The Owl" and the
"Chop-chop," trio of notorious food
7anc-dr1nk establishments on lower
Kansas avenue. The black mark was
handed to these keepers with great
gusto. When city witnesses were call
ed, 20 large blue policemen rose and
elevated their right mitts. They took
turns at telling what they knew about
the dispensers and their business It
looked for time like the guilty ones
would be convicted Of horse-larceny or
something of the kind. but the officers
seemed to have their heads with them
and told some mighty straight yarns
about what they had seen in the places.
Galen Nichols, attorney for Daniels,
made a good talk, pointing out to the
court that Daniels was manager of the
Star theater. and had an Office in the
owl" which accounted for his fire.
Quent appearance in the resort The
good talk did not change the decision.
John Folger. a business man, was
called to testify in the case against
Pigs but Mr.. Folger assured the court
that he had never been in the place but
cnce, and then to get change for a
bill He saw nothing but a hash
foundry at that time
The police officers. however. describ-
ed the place as a Joint thfplv veneered
with a lunch department and the Il
g. brand was attached to Mr.. Pigg
1t was thus all along the line Each
one was called IN convicted and cast
into the cage pending his release by
appeal bond.
This caging of convicted Iiquorists is
new departure. For years il has
been customary to allow them to go
out and get bonds, or present bonds
which they had brought along in antici-
patton of the event This has been
changed, and the bond must be made
out after the fine is imposed Hence
a half dozen alleged dealers were in
generated until their attorneys could
rush out and get bond. The bonds
were $500 each.
Messrs. Hendricks. Summers and
Hobson, distributors of law, blew in at
