The trial of Thomas J. sannon,
charging that his drug store in Main
street was liquor nuisance, began
Monday morning, before Judge Brown
ton county; a West Kingston. Mr..
Bannon was indicted by the grand
jury at the previous session of the
courts and has been under bonds since
that time. After the trial was COM
menced. Judge Sweeney, counsel for
the defendant, asked that the jury be
permitted to view the premises, so
that a more intelligent conception of
the drug store might be had and that
1t might not be confused with other
places that are before the court on a
like charge. The requests was grant
ed.
The jurors. in charge of Sheriff Will
cox and Deputy Sheriff Mitchell, ac-
companied by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Cross and Town Solicitor Agard
for the prosecution and Judge SWee-
ney for defense, arrived here on the
1920 train and went direct to the
cannon drug store. where they made
an examination that lasted almost five
minutes. The jurors We're served lunch
and returned to West Kingston on the
1.3S train.
This case was not brought in the or
diBary way, through the Third district
court but direct to the grand Jury.
AT that time there was prevalence of
wood alcohol poison cases, and some
evidence to the effect that poisoned
whiskey was purchased at the cannon
store. All the evidence obtainable for
the purpose of prosecution, including
the opinion of Coroner Brown of Nor
wich. in fatal poison whiskey cases in
Pawcatuck, was presented to the grand
jury and considered by that body.
The jury brought in an Indictment
against Mr.. Bannon. charging him
with maintaining a nuisance. The case
was ready for trial at that term of
the court, but owing to a death in the
family of counsel for defendant there
was continuance to the present term
of court.
The BannOn case was not concluded
when court adjourned Monday after
noon. The trial will be resumed this
CTuesday) morning.

One of the hose wagons is now in
Providence being fitted with chemi
cal tank and attendant equipment, at
the suggestion of the special commit
tee having in charge the matter of in
creasing the efficiency of the fire de-
partment. This change is not APPROX
ed by all the experienced members
of the local department, although the
chief of the Providence department
has declared its practicability.
1t is set up that the wagon loaded
with hose ready for service, weighed
$500 pounds, a heavy load for pair
of horses to. draw up Quarry hill, or
other steep grades within the fire dis
trict. The chemical addition VIII IN
crease the weight at least 500 pounds,
making total of 1900, or over ton
for each horse to draw at a fire, and
the animals are supposed to go at top
speed.
1t is further argued that the hose
wagon was originally built to carry a
specified load, and it is believed will
not stand the strain of nearly nan a
ton of increased weight
When the fire department efficiency
increase was discussed at a special
meeting of the fire district. stress
was laid upon the Inadequate fire pro-
lection on Quarry hill, and the chem
ical wagon was suggested as rem
edy. 1t has been proven that the
wagon without the heavy chemical
attachment, was slow in reaching fires
in that section, owing to the unusually
steep grade, and the speed cannot be
improved by increasing the load.
Eiremen also declare that by the
time the com bination hose and chem
ical wagon reaches a fire in that sec
ton, it viii be too late for the effec-
tive use of chemicals. and that water
will be used. The chemical wagon
