HOTEL KEEPER
Is DISCHARGED
Edward Mcdonald Has Ex-
else Case Dismissed,

In the court of special sessions at
ST. George yesterday, with Justice
Arthur c. Salmon presiding on the
bench, the case of Edward w. Nc
Donald, former proprietor of the
Morton House, at 50 and II Main
street, T%ottenville, charged with vio-
lating the excise law on Sunday,
August 20, was dismissed. This case,
which had been postponed in this
court three or four times, has been
watched with much interest ever
since McDonald's arrest. He is also
charged with keeping a disorderly
house at the time, which ease has
also been postponed from time to
time. Both of these cases grew out
of a fight that occurred in Melon
AIDS place on the Sunday night in
August when George S. Smith, of 469
Broadway, Tottenville, and Walter
Harvey, of II Broadway, T%ottenville,
charged each other with a%ssaulting
one another. Both were arrested at
the time and later discharged when
their cases were called in the magis-
trate's court. Through the afida-
Wit of these two and that of Patrol
man Newman, of the Ninety-ninth
precinct station, Tottenville, McDon-
aid was held and his place closed up.
1t is said that the brewery that
held the license has been fighting the
case from the start in an effort to
retain the license and to have the
place opened again, which had been
under the eye of the police for the
past year or more as a questionable
resort where young girls Of i'll repute
would gather. Many complaints had
been received from residents in the
vicinity of the hotel of the character
of the place and when the case was
in the magistrates court several
were summoned as witnesses.
