QUINN DRAWS
FIRST BLOOD
FOR HIS SIDE

The board OF police commissioners yes
terday decided the now celebrated case OF
Arruda and Rinfret, former saloon keep
ers at $50 Ives street. in favor of Smith
Bros, the New Bedford brewers.
Joseph, Arruda and Thomas II Rinfret,
partners in the saloon, gave a power of
attorney 10 Smith Bros, and also an as
signment OF their license as collateral Sc
curty for a mortgage. When applica-
ton was made for the transfer OF this IL
cense to 332 and 334 South Main street.
Rinfret contended that he had not signed
the power of attorney
A hearing was ned by the police COM
m.ssioners TO clear up this point; and at
the hearing witnesses were presented 10
prove that Rinfret had made his mark,
his handwriting being temporarily dis
abled. Arruda said he had signed.
The question then arose as TO the right
OF Smith Bros. to use the power OF attor-
ney so granted. This matter was taken
10 the city solicitor before Il was finally
settled by the board.
The license transfer question is only
one phase OF a series of difficulties in
which David II Morrisey. agent for the
brewers. has figured with Rinfret and
Rinfrets attorney, NJ. 8 LiZotte. for
merly of Fall River. on the other side.
Morrissey's arrest has been caused on
five charges-two Of assault one OF tres
pass. another Of trespass and eiectment
and one of trover and conversion: and
Rinfret has won three Of the cases that
have been threshed out at considerable
length IN the district court. All that have
been tried. and the two others. have gone
to the higher court for final decision.
The victory on the license transfer
question Is first blood that has been scor-
ed by Attorney John c. Quinn. who has
represented Morrissey or Smith Bros. I'm
all of the legal proceedings; and Mr.
Quinn was correspondingly happy when
notified this morning that his contentious

Harry c. Mahood, the motorman of the

probably guilty OF manslaughter in the

er he Kept a proper lookout. and wheth
er he drove his car at a dangerous speed
allowing IL TO get beyond his control
