whom the neighbors had complained
of the noise and disturbances at the
place.
The testimony of the officers was
a bit spicy, and evoked roars OF
lanohter from the audience, when
packed the council chamber TO
suffocation, almost.
They told of finding a bag OF
beer in the house, and also described
where they found the various grown
people.
Cologia CARLOW, one OF the
neighbors, was the first witness
and he told of the disturbances and
pointed out one of the female prison
ers, saying THAT lady called me
a'--'!
Mary Balo was very decided IN
her testimony and said that the
house was a harboring place for
men. An average of two boxes OF
beer was taken into the house each
day, besides whiskey and other
drinks, she said.
She described in minute detail,
to an appreciative crowd, what the
ladies" said to her, and the nice
names they applied to her and to
each other.
On Saturday night the noise be-
gan at 7 o'clock and continued until
8 the next morning She pointed
out each of the prisoners, and also
named the Italian who made noodle
soup all day Sunday. Mary's
husband, was next called, and he
reiterated what his wife had said
about the noise, but she persisted
in answering the questions for him,
most of the time.
Enrique Spetichen and his wife
both testified through an interpreter,
Jimmy Russo, as to the extent of
the noise made by the occupants of
| the house.

star witness, and he belied his name.
Instead of being a native of the
Emerald Isle, he is the colored
gentleman who drives the garbage
wagon.
First of all. he declared he die
not know anything in particular
and offered to swear to it on {
bible. Then he thought lamp was
burning, and still later said he coulC
drink a bottle of beer in a SECOND
if he wished, but, according tt
Squire Johns calculations it tool
him about three hours to do it OF
Monday night.
He was especially emphatic il
his denial of seeing anythin,
wrong about the place, but couldn'
tell very clearly as to how he happen
ed to sstop there.
Mrs. Lena Farley, who appeare,
to be head of the house, said tina
"she and Mrs. Ewes had met MI
McIntire earlier in the evening whe
he unloaded some wood for them. ;"

This was evidence Of severe punish
