Philip Thomas and Peter Alexander
We're before the municipal court again
Saturday. Last year, when they were
doing business under the firm name of
p. Alexander e Co., they were arraigned
before the municipal court for keeping
Of ice cream, soda, confectionery and
cigars. This time the charge against
Alexander & Co. was pedding without a
license. They started a fruit and con-
fectionery store recently in the Judge
building under the name of the New
York Fruit company. AS soon as the
store was well established they sent out
a man to peddle fruit from house to
house. Complaint was made to States
Attorney c. H. Williams and he issued
a warrant for their arrest, which was
made by Chief-of- Police George Wilson
Robert c. Bacon appeared for them and
claimed that they did not know that
the law required them to take out a
peddlers license If they ran a store. BY
agreement of the prosecuting officer the
case was continued with the understand
ing that the defendants should pay the
costs and take out license at once.
