meny, on the charge of drunkenness and
interfering with an officer, which began at
o'clock Monday afternoon before Judge
Lancaster of the municipal court. came
to an end at about 4.3o Tuesday afternoon
after having been in progress for the
greater part of that day. II was the
longest trial for some years and called
out the largest crowd.
1t will be remembered that at the adj
journment of court at about O'Clock
Monday afternoon Gormegas was on the
stand and at the opening of court Tues
day resumed his testimony. which was
through the medium of an interpreter.
His testimony was in substance that he
was celebrating St. Georges day. which
ceremony would come to an end at =. T.
NJ. and that he told officer Cyr that he
would rot stop the celebration until that
time. The testimony Of the other two
respondents, Thogas and Germeny, was
practically along the same lines and con-
Guided the evidence taken III the case.
County Attorney Fisher, who represent
ed the city because Of the fact that City
solicitor Sawtellc was unable 10 be pres
en;, in presenting his argument said that
the police must be upheld in the perform
ance Of their duty. and that in his belief
TIE officers were justified in what they
Gid Sunday night that tie city relied on
its police force 10 preserve Law and or
der and that the force must be backed
up in the performance of its duty.
Mr.. Mclean in his argument laid con-
siderable stress on the point that none
of the witnesses for the prosecution would
say that the respondents were intoXicat-
ed on the Sunday night on which the
trouble in Block IS is alleged to have oc-
Cured. and then went on To say that they
were not drinking nlen-that no evidence
ot liquor had been found or them on the
night of their arrest.
At the conclusion OF the arguments the
court declared the three men rot guilty
