DALEY CENTRAL FIGURE
Fined S400 md Costs in County Court,
for Dealing In Liquor.

Thomas =. Daey was the central
figure in Chittenden county court
Thursday morning, as the respondent
In two liquor cases. one for selling
intoxicating liquor and one FOR keep
ing intoxicating liquor with intent TO
sell, and as tho interested party in
two cases having to do with confs-
cation of liquor. On the charge of
keeping with intent to sell Daley was
fined 500 and costs. The costs were
also taxed against him in the two
contiscation cases so that the fine and
costs all told aggregate s445. The
case against Daley for selling liquor
is held open for disposition at the
next term.
In disr 1sing of Daley's cases Judge
Powers said the respondent has reach
ed a point where he must cease traf-
fic in intoxicating liquor. either by
himself or through anyone else; that
the finger OF suspicion must not point
toward him as being engaged direct
ly or indirectly in the liquor traffic
Judge Powers directed the States
attorney, the city grand juror. the
sheriff and his deputies and the po-
lice to see tina. Daley keeps faith
from the liquor traffic. The court
further admonished Daley tnat it APP
peared that the respondent himself
| used liquor and that perhaps the best
thing would be term of imprison.
ment watch would enable the respon-
dent to get tho liquor out Of his own
system: but Daley, like most men.
preferred fine rather than term
of imprisonment; that he appeared to
be man who could make living in
| a different way and he would give
| him Chance to make a man Of him

The offices We're instructed to in
form the court whether Daley mixes

respondent was given to understand
that II ne does not keep faith he could
not appeal for sympathy when the
case still pending comes up for dis
position.
