MORRIS co. COURTS.

ones taken up were those for the ille-
gal sale Of liquor. John Pustic and
John Moran were each fined 5000 and
costs.
Oliver Harrington, driver for the
Feigenspan Co., from the Dover depot
was then arraigned Elmer King said
the Feigenspan people had asked him
to appear. He said that Harrington
had sold, thinking he had right to
sell liquors on the Dover wholesale Ii
cense and it was his opinion that such
was the case. Judge Mills said a
wholesale license from a municipality
did not give the right to sell else
where. Delivery is another thing and
fined the man $3.50 and costs.
Senator Hillery made much the
same plea for Alphonsus G.. Hagen, of
Boonuon, who had licence in Boon
ton, but was charged with selling in
Hanover township. The Senator said
he would have advised him if asked
that he had such right. The act
passed by the last legislature in regard
to selling was to cover government Ii
censes and was careful to exempt
holders of municipal licenses. Hagen,
he admitted was technically guilty.
Prosecutor Rathbun said that if
dealers and others would read the
wholesale licenses and application
they would see that it provided for a
fixed place for the sale of liquor and
gives no permission to sell elsewhere.
Hagans case, he said, was fragrant.
For two years complaints had come Of
sales and the leaving of bottled goods
in secluded places in the restricted
Morris Plains Hospital district, and
the attempt had been made to break
up the practice. 1t was also charged
that he sold by the bottle on the road.
Judge Mills promptly imposed fine
of 5000 and costs.
In the case of Toney Pasadena and
Tony Biscotti, employed by Antonio
Costa, John M. Mills appeared and
said they were employed by the sewer
contractor and the manner of keeping
books in the boarding house made them
technically gslGy. The government
agents have collected tax and penalty
from them already. Judge Mills fined
the first named S75 and costs, the lat
ter S75 without costs, Passalona being
more directly in charge.
j. e. Fennell appeared for Dominick
and Tony Constanzio. The first had
two counts against him selling in
Hanover township and in Morristown.
Mr.. Fennell said the prisoner was in
the hospital when the sale was made.
Dominick was fined S10O and costs
which he was permitted to pay in in
stallments, while Tony, boy, was let
off under suspension of sentence.
Mr.. Fennell also appeared for Frank
Petrozzi, charged with selling at
Whippany, claiming that he had only
driven the wagon three days as sub
stitute. Prosecutor Rathun said that
I'aac Snyder, who would pay the fine
had been convicted of Illegal selling in
Summit and recently had been refused
retail and wholesale license in Mil
burn, because of his illegal practices
which extended over into Morris
county. Petrozzi got the limit of the
| day 5000 and costs.
George Charmack had been before
the court twice before and had been
warned. Judge Mills said he would
sentence him to pay $3.50 and costs
and spend two months in the county

In the case of Walter Farrand, who
plead guilty to stealing horse at
Brookside, Joshua Salmon said Far
rand had started drinking hard cider
at Mendham the Gay before the theft
and after the addition of whiskey had
taken the horse, not knowing what he
was doing. Judge Mills sentenced him
to four years in State prison.
