LIQUOR CASE HEARD.
There was quite a crowd gathered in the
district court room in this city this
morning because this was the date that
was set down for the hearing OF the liq-
uor cases which had grown out OF the
raid made by Gen. Whites deputy sher-
ifs last July. Judge Choquette was on
| the bench and Attorney Bowen, whom
| II was thought by those who have worked
up these cases was the best qualihed 10
| make the prosecutions, was on hand
The trials did not amount TO very much,
because three OF the men were accused
| of doing an illegal business, waived ex-
| amina tion. and the liquors which were
seized from their places was declared for
feited. These men were Peter Gerrnalne,
Jr. Jacques Charron and Godfrey La'
croix.
| Emanuel Vadnais pleaded not guilty TO
the charges which were brought against
him as he claimed that the store was not
his property, and he was given trial
| which because OF the fact that the wit
nesses required interpreters was long
| drawn out.
| Judge Thomas Riley was the attorney
| for the defendants, and Deputy Sheriff
sherman who has been the leading spirit
| I'm the prosecutions was on hand giving
| advice TO Attorney Bowen.
II was we'll into the afternoon before
! the case was finished.
