SON = RESPONDENTS
s PLEADED GUILTY
Rapid Progress Made in
Closing Up State
Cases

State cases were begun in Washington
county court yesterday afternoon, most
OF them having to do with alleged viola
tion Of the liquor law. In the case of
state vs.. Louisa Ala of Montpelier, the
reading of the complaint was waived and
a plea Of guilty was entered.
In presenting the states side of the
case States Attorney Carver said he
had told the Ala people that he would
recommend minimum fine of $500, but
that within three weeks of the filing of
the information the place was raided and
liquor was found Hence he favored a
fine Of $400 or $500 Attorney Theriault
for the respondent thought S400 and
costs would satisfy him.
I'm the case of State VS.. Irene Ala ex-
animation was waived and a plea OF
guilty was entered. States Attorney
Carver then declared they kept the most
frequented liquor selling place in Mont
pelier, but that the sales were made BY
the wife. John Ala, the husband, paid
fine last year, the states attorney told
the court. He favored substantial SEN
tence. Attorney Theriault also repre-.
sented Irene Ala. He said it was true
the husband had been fined $500 and
costs last year; that he had suffered
from tuberculosis for two years and
was unable to work. He said the woman
was arrested on an information; it was
her first offense and she could only pay
the minimum fine, or would have to 90
to jail.
Attorney Fheriault also represented f.
Ortez Peres in liquor case, and the
reading of the complaint was waived and
the respondent pleaded guilty. States
Attorney Carver said the case was like
the previous one, and the only evidence
was that the woman sold liquor when
her husband was not present and that
he did not think an extensive business
was carried on, Attorney Theriault said
he thought the prosecuting attorneys
statement to the court was according to
fact, that little liquor had been sold and
that for the sake of her children the
woman ought to be placed on proba;
tion.
Things took a different turn when the
cases pi lNthte vs.. EnEdFcl6 "A ia dfd
