The court held night session last Thursday to hear three adjourned cas- es.
 In the case of Albert Lambert, a mi- nor, who pleaded guilty to the larceny of sum of money from Geeson's mar ket on Front street, the probation off, Ger reported that he had made an in- vestigstion and found that Lambert's environment was such as would tend to cause him to easily fall in to wrong doing, and that he had never had chance in life. He said that Mir. Gee son did not want the boy severely dealt with, in fact had offered to give him work on his farm in the near fu- ture, and the boy had consented to go there. He asked the court for lenien- cy. The case was continued to the first Monday in June and Lambert placed in charge of the probation offi- cer.
 In the case of Fred Wells charged with assault upon Hector Fountain, defendant put on one witness who tes- titied that Fountain struck first. The case was then nolled.
 The case of Nuzio Vecchio, charged with the illegal sale of liquor, was the next case. Captain of police Murray testified to going to defendants house on Lee street Sunday afternoon and seizing 75 bottles of beer. There were four or five men sitting around table Heihad watched the place and saw men who were working on the sewer go back and forth, coming out of the house in an intoxicated condition. He ton. Only three of the men boarded there. Officer lChaffee corroborated this testimony and the state rested. Philias Cloutier said he sold defendant two kegs of beer Saturday. 1t had not been paid for.
 Attorney Torrey claimed that there was no evidence of any sale, and asked for an acquittal, but this was over ruled.
 Defendant was put upon lthe stand and said that he kept nine or ten boarders. Had beer for himself and boarders. Bought beer Saturday af- ternoon and paid for 1t. Ten men clipped in forty cents apiece and he bought two kegs which were after ward bottled so that the men could get 1t as they wanted 1t. Never sold any or gave any away. Didn't know of any men icoming from the sewer trench. Cross-examined said he told Captain Murray the beer belonged to the whole crowd. Did not say that he did not own any of it.
