t the truth" Barr said he was able to Il
the time he left the hotel by the fact tina
he took trolley car to Camden befor
midnight. On the following Monday
went back to Moorestown and apologize,
to Barry for his actions and the latter ha,
him arrested. During the fracas on Satur
day evening Barr looked over his should
er and saw Barry in another part of tn,
room but he did not take any part in th'
affair. Barr had never been refused
drinks at the hotel.
s. II. Hahn testified to seeing his agents
going into the hotel and to their coming
out and handing him bottles which they
said they had purchased. He took the ar
ticles and had kept them under seal ever
since, and now produced them.
Thomas Murphy, one of Moorestown's
policemen, was called to testify to the
general character of the hotel and to tell
whether he had ever seen drunken men
come from the place. Thomas was a very
unwilling witness and attempted to give a
very rosy view to the situation, but finally
admitted he had seen men come from the
hotel and drink from TASKS which would
be hurried out of sight on his approach.
He had seen drunken men come from
Barry's sheds on Saturday nights, but
thought they were people who had come
from the city on the trolley and had gone
in after their teams, He had heard men
talking under the sheds and had heard
bottles clink, but he could not give any
definite information on this point
Thomas Call was brought in from the
jail where he is confined for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct. He claimed to
have got his liquor from men who brought
it to the sheds at Barry's hotel. A man
named Ward was given money to get some
whiskey and he went towards the hotel
and soon came back with half-pint
Call could not say that the whiskey was
purchased in the hotel, but Ward was gone
about the length of time that would be re-
quired to 60 into the hotel by the back en-
trance and return.
Joseph T. Sullivan said he had seen on
one of the occasions referred to Thomas
Call and man named McDonough in a
drunken condition and Mr.. Dallas told him
he had seen them come from the hotel.
Mr.. Sullivan's cross examination was con-
fined to the names and residences of the
remonstrants, the purport of which was to
show that they lived remote from the no.
tells and were not frequenters of the places,
hence could not be acquainted with the
conditions which were set forth In the re-
monstrances.
Counsel for remonstrants then rested
their case against Barry, with the under
standing that they might produce other
witnesses if they could secure them
Harold Thompson, aged 10 years. had dis
appeared after subpoena had been out for
him, and another witness who was in the
Jail on charge of drunkenness had had
his fine paid for him. and he, too, had fed
beyond the courts Jurisdiction. Counsel
then asked that rebutting testimony for
Barry be given now, but attention was
called to the agreement at the beginning
that the two hotels should be tried to-
gether, and it was decided to go ahead on
that line.
Mr.. Biddle, one of the agents, was called
to give evidence against Halleran & Co..
and his testimony was much on the same
line as that produced against Barry.
As it was impossible to finish the cases
on Saturday, although court held until
five o'clock, it was decided to resume the
hearing next Friday.
