That's ALL said Lucas.
Ben Fabian was called by Perry
and identified the Police Court rec
crd of the trial of the saloon keeper
for selling liquor to the boy Perry
then read part OF the testimony Civ
en- at the trial by the boy Ed. Lii
kalani. Fabian testified that the de-
PENDANT was found not guilty with
out the defense being required to
produce any evidence.
j. G. Pereglio, the bartender, was
recalled and swore he never sold liz
uor to the boy.
Diekey Argues
| Dickey then argued the case. He
said the saloon had been proved to
te lettering place for drunken men.
Should "a saloon be so close" he
asked, ito place meant for the good
OF children, like the Kakaako Mis-
sion? The very fact that men come
there to get drink whether they get
it or not, is enough to prove that
that is no place for saloon"
Perry Sums Up
Judge Perry summed up his case
with the statement that it had been
proved that the saloon is conducted
in a proper manner. 'The evidence
of the boy Liiikalani, l submit,
ought not to be believed for min
ute in the face of what he testified
i'll the District Court
''As to the location of the Mis-
sion, the saloon was there before the
question for you very definitely"
"The Board will give the matter
consideration, said the Gar, "and
give its decision later"
Ryan's Application
Although it was 11.15 the appli-
cation of p. f. Ryan was next taken
up. Edwards was the protestant
against the granting of license.
Frank Thompson represented Ryan
Ryan, on the stand said he under
stood the church across the way was
going out of business and the pastor,
Edwards, was going to the Coast Au-
gust 1. He wasn't acquainted with
the elders of the church, never hay-
ing been inside. He had never VIC
lated the, conditions of his license.
he said. He was willing to close up
the rear entrance of his saloon IL
the Commission desired
John EhingsE awss called and testi-
fed to getting the signature of w.
McCandless, to-, r Ryan's application.
McCandless had been reported to
have said he signed it without know
ing what it was. Effinger said he
Lad explained the matter fully and
McCandIess had said it was perfect
" satisfactory to- him. McCandless'
statement that lie didn't know what
he was signing lEfinger characteriz-
ed as absolutely false.
Lawyer Edwards 4
Then Edwards tried to show that
he could be lawyer If he tried
hard, putting ON the case for his
side.
Edwards called Mrs. BOSNIAN, who
testified that she saw some drunken
soldiers at the corner of King and
Afakea streets and they had bottles
cf,something antt were using terrible'I
language She didn't know where
they came from nor where they got
the booze. 4
Then Edwards tried to argue but
was called down. He said that al |
though his church was outside the
150-foot distance from the saloon,
the members of his congregation
have to pass the saloon to get to the
church.
Edwards tried some more argu-
ment, but was again sat upon. He
called Mr.. Ramsey to prove that |
Ryan is not a fit person to run sa-
loon Ramsey said he had seen peo-
pie drinking in Ryan's cafe with |
nothing in sight but the drinks How
ever, he wasn't in the place more
than a couple of minutes Meals
might have come after he left.
Thompson smiled significantly
when the witness got through.
