bottle against his wish and one which
did not contain the wine he sold them
Camilli was placed upon the stand
and made a mess OF his testimony for
instead of swearing that he sold wine
from another bottle than the one in
court he said that he sold the same
stun, that he had but one barrel.
Mr. Power Immediately stated 10
the court that a misunderstanding had
existed in his mind all OF the time and
that he had no further questions TO
ask
No arguments were made, Mr.
Power stating that none were neces-

The Perotta Case
In this case John Perotta. an ltal-
ian who keeps candy store at the
Caspian mine was charged with sell
ing intoxicating liquors. The story
OF the case is that John Tromblay, w.
c. Eldred and Chester NettelA all
deputy sheriffs. went to Perotta's
/, place and asked for drink. He told
the men that he had pop. ginger ais,
etc. They asked him II he had no wine
and he told them that he had some
/ but il was in his cellar He went down
and got the bottle and poured out
three glasses OF the stuff. The men
daank IL. Tromblay then bought a
I bottle OF the stun and they all started
/ of but the cork came out OF the bottle
and Mr. Tromblay spilled the stun in
/ his pocket He returned and got the
bottle filled from the same receptical
which held the stun originally.
John McTiale defended and his de-
Tense was that the glasses of wine he
gave the men were samples and that
the money he took was for the bottle
which was not drunk on the premises.
The law allows this domestic wine to
be sold but not drunk on the premises
The officers swore that they paid
for the glasses as well as the wine I'm
! the bottle and the jury evidently be-
4 lieved them for on the FIRST ballot the
| vote stood IL for conviction and not
