LIQUOR CONDEMNED,
FREGOSI IN, JAIL
Two Days Trial in Which Several IN
teTesting Features Were Brought
Witness Got Drunk on His
Court Fee.

1t took two days to determine the
status Of one bottle of whiskey, which
was seized last Wednesday at the bar
Der shop of a. Fregosi, is Granite street.
But last Satu' day the bottle was con
demned in city court and ordered spilled.
Fregosi appealed The case to county
court, and when arrested on the charge
Of keeping and selling liquor he waived
examination and was bound over to the
county ssurt. Rail in all the cases was
set at $500, which he was pr-able to se-
cure, and he was taken TO the county
Jail in Montpelier.
The trial was hard fought throughout,
and several .zteresting Developments
were brought out. The case was started
Friday morning, and it was late Satur-
day before Judge Fay condemned the
liquor. The one bottle was seized on the
person Of Fregosi. When the officers en-
tered the ionsorial parlors Wednesday
night and were looking around Fregosi
vent to closet and extracted the bottle
from a coat and transferred it to his
hip pocket But Officer HameI saw the
operation and charged Fregosi with hay
ing it. Fregosi at first stoutly insisted
surrendered the bottle.
During the conduct of the trinl Officer
Carle testified that the night before the
raid he saw two men 20 up North Main
street, that one of them stopped in front
OF the Scampini block and that the other
went to the barber shop at is Granite
street, that the latter came back and
apparently gave something to the man
who had been waiting on Main street.
Then the two went between the build
ings and, the officer stated, he could
see them going through the movements
Of drinking. Later he talked with the
men and smelled their breaths. One of
these men, named Frezetti, he that went
TO the barber shop, testified on the
stand that be didn't get any liquor at
Fregosi's, but when cornered the other
fellow, Benjamin Woolhouse, admitted
the whole thing. Another witness, II
woman, admitted that several times she
had bought liquor at Fregosi's. Officers
also testified that they had seen men
going into the barber shop after union
hours and on Sundays.
Fregosi went on the stand and testi-
fed that he bought the bottle of whis-
KEY in Montpelier for a cold, with which
he was suffering The defense also put
on two witnesses, one OF whom was
Constable Nichols, to show that men
were not seen going into the place or
lounging about. The arguments were
made Saturday afternoon and the deci-
sion of the court was rendered in the
early evening.

STAGE SENTIMENT.
Its Material Change in Twenty Years
Proved by Quincy Adams Sawyer"

There is no department Of literary
work in which the changes come so rap
idly as in play writing. 1t takes but
ten or dozen years to make a play
seem old-fashioned. When old PLAYS are
revived it is almost always found nee
essary TO rewrite them to a considerable
degree, although the changes may be
practically unnoticeable. Towards no
part of play does the public attitude
change so quickly as Us sentiment. 1t
is not so very many years ago that this
speech was put into the mouth of an
irate father: "You are no longer a
child OF mine," and was one of the
most talked.of features OF one OF the
most successful dramas ever produced.
Today such a speech would pass muster
only in the crudest nielodramas.
There is none of this sort of pathos,
now deemed mock fDntiment, in the
great rural drama, "Quincy Adams Saw
YER In fact it would be yerv hard to
pick out from the prompt book of this
play any lines that could be elassed as
sentimental Yet there Is sentiment
in plenty in this most popular of New
England dramas and mighty good and
true sentiment it is, too. The blind
girl, who is the centre of much of the
dramatic interest, is a most appealing
figure, yet she neither mopes nor whines
II is by personality that she appeals
and The. sentiment that surrounds her
lis the natural outgowth of situation
and condition and not the provision Of
the playwright.
When the play is presented at the
opera house on Wednesday, Feb. Il, it
will repay the observer of such things
to note the entire absence Of the trite
and hoclSneyed sentimental touches Per.
haps this lack is the cause Of the tre-
mondous success Of the play, which is
breaking all records wherever presented.
