WESTERLY LIQUOR CASE HEARD
Charles P Taft Found Guilty of Selling Inoxcants Without Lidense-Fne and Sentences Follows Much Testimony and Defendant Appeals-Ashaway House Destroyed By Fne-Watch Hill Visitor Injured.

In the Peter M. Rose emhezzlement case, which was continued from last weeks session of court for argument, Judge John w. Sweeney, counsel for Rose, made the opening argument. He said the fact in the case was that Natale Prices gave Peter Rose SIT after liquors had been seized and he was given to understand that 1t was to be used to settle the case, So for the judge, $5 for the captain, S5 for the lawyer and $2 for Rose. This money was therefore given for an un- lawful purpose and because Rose fail ed to carry out the scheme success fully Pucci had Rose arrested for em- bezzlement and therefore has no stand ing in criminal court. The money was given for a specific and unlawful purpose which was not carried out. A raic was made on Pucci's place March r, and 8 week later Pucci went to Rose to engage the services of Rose and paid the money. There was no case then except forfeiture of liquors and there was nothing wrong in the transaction.

The continued case of Charles P. Taft, Proprietor of the New Park ho- tel c<rged with keeping intoxicating liuuor for sale without license, was given hearing before Judge Oliver H. Williams in the Third district court on Friday. MT Taft not only testified in his only behalf and was the only wit ness for defendant. but he also acted as his own attorney, showing fam1l- iarity with court procedure.

Chief Brown testified that Taft was proprietor of the New Park hotel ia High street and that the place was visited June 30 and by virtue of a search warrant search was made for intoxicating drinks. Sixty eight bottles of lager beer and quart bot. tie nearly filled with whiskey were found in a large refrigerator. At the time of the visit three men were seat eA Na c stairway, one was drinking beer from a bottle and each of the others had empty beer bottles. These men went upstairs taking the bottles with them.

The heavy feed wire of the Groton and Stonin9ton Street Railway com pany that terminated in Mechanic street is being extended across the bridge to Broad street, where it will tap the feed wire of the Norwich and Westerly Traction company. By this change the power will be capitalized, as the power houses at Mystic and Hall vile are of about the same capacity In case of necessity, added power can be given to either whenever required This is only one of the many improve ments that will accrue by the practical consolidation of all trolley lines en- tering Westerly.
 It Is quite probable that the business offices in Mystic and Hallville will be consolidated and transferred to West erly in the near future which will add to the importance of Westerly as trolley center.

On the Eth of June Pucci was ar raigned, convicted and sentenced. It was then that the charge of embezzle- ment was made against Rose. The at torney failed to see how money paid in March could have any bearing on a criminal case brought in June, and that therefore there was no enbezZle ment. There was no false use of the money. Rose offered to pay the money back to Puccl. but it was refused. Pucci never made demand for the money of for an accounting. There was no testimony to show intent on the part of Rose to embezzle the money. The man went to Rose and engaged him and v not being satisfied with the result, brought the charge of embezzlement, which is not supported under the statute
 Town Solicitor Agard made argu- ment for state, taking views diametri- cally opposite to those set up by Judge Sweeney, quoting several authorities in substantiation. At the close of the arguments Judge Williams took the case under advisement, saying that decision would be given at the next regular session of the court.
