Mr.. Barry sitting in the exchange, mex
J. to the barroom, not making any at

hotel and heard Barry talking. He

tracted her and she went out. The min
ute Barry saw her, he said, There,
/, Mrs. Woodhouse, she's the biggest =
T. liar in town." Mrs. Woodhouse Al
once went into her home, but the crowd
remained around the hotel for some
time. Since Barry's license had been
revoked she had seen men come from
the hotel yard drunk. On one occasion
she had seen Barry lead q man out

Frank Seamon was called. He had
bought quart of whiskey after the re-
tail license was taken from Barry, but
while the wholesale license was in force.
de said Mrs. Woodhouse told an I'M
truth when she said she had seen him
led out OF the yard in drunken con-
dition.
Newlin Evans was near Barry's hotel
on the evening of the disturbance.
Heard man using loud talk some time
before he reached the hotel. Found the
talker was Barry, and witness was much
surprised and panied to hear the Ian
guage used, as he did not think Barry
would st0op to such methods. Barry

Ders, thieves, and SO on. Witness does
not think licensed hotel necessary In
the town, certainly not two,
(, Jonathan Powell was in front of the
hotel on the night in question. Barry
was talking in loud tone and witness
stopped to listen and heard him con-
denim Messrs. Lippincott. Hilton, Judge
Homer, and the Quakers. When wit
ness first stopped there were dozen per
sons present; when he left there were
about 200. Barry said he would pur
chase the tar and feathers to run Lippin-
colt and Hilton out of town.
Miss Harriet Starks resides with Mrs.
Woodhouse. She saw Barry lead an in
toxicated man from his porch.
Harry G. Herr, recalling past condi-
tions, could not see any necessity for two
licensed hotels in MOorestown.
Samuel s. Witcraft went into Barrv's
Motel when the place had q license.
Heard talking and laughing in the bar
room. He had avoided rooms in the
Motel because he did not want to get in a
'mix-up" with those sitting around and
drinking. There was q room back of
the barrOom where there was always
drinking, and he had to pass through
that. Witness thought Barry had CON
Quoted the hotel in an admirable man.

William ID. Cox lives at Paulsboro.
and has frequently stopped at Barry's.
He thought the hotel was well kept. In
the opinion of the witness there is me-
cessity for another house at Moorestown.
Frederick Liebfried had stopped at
Barry's. Missed his car to Hainesport
about 1890 Saturday morning and was
taken care OF there. That was the only
place he applied. Did not stop for
breakfast.
Reginald Zimmerman was with the
former witness and corroborated his evil
dence.
Albert +. Dill, manager at Mount
Holly for the Interstate telephone COM
pany, had often had his men stop at
Barry's. The number varied from five
to fourteen at time. In the opinion Of
witness the hotel was we'll run and was
necessary. Halleran could not accom-
modate his men in December, 1918. as
his house was full. He did not get this
information directly, but was given it
by his foreman.
John p. Lippincott knows Barry's
hotel. There had been license at the
place for at least 60 years. He believes
in hotels, and thinks two hotels, proper
Fly kept would not be detrimental to
Moorestown. He had heard that Barry
had trouble when he kept hotel at
New Egypt.
Benjamin r. Powell has occasion to
cart produce through Moorestown, some
times twice week during the trucking
season.. Always stops at the Barry hotel
as there is more room there for teams
In his opinion there is need for two
hotels in MOorestOwn. Barry's reputa-
ton for temperance, honesty and truth
fulness was good when he kept hotel at
Browns Mills. If there was any dis
turbance, which generally occurred on
Saturday evening, he would have those
making the trouble arrested. This would
happen sometimes three or four times
month.
Charles Simons has known Barry's
hotel, but has not used it but once in
ten years.
James Towne, an agent OF the Bell
telephone company, knows Barry's hotel
and has had from five to thirty men
stop there at one time. They were well
cared for. In his opinion another public
house is necessary at MoOrestown. His
opinion was formed from the accommo-
dations given his men.
Mr.. Wilmot, q lineman for the Public
Service Corporation, has sent men to
Barry's, as high as Is, and always got
as good accommodations at Halleran's.
Got better prices at Barry's. His opinion
was that public house is necessary at
MoOrestown. The witness was pressed
to give an opinion whether another Ii
cense was necessary, but his reply was:
There's the Judge, right there; he's the
fellow to settle that"
Harry BarcklOw made application at
Halleran's for accommodations which
could not be granted because there was
q convention there at the time.
| Elmer KOlbach had stopped at both
hotels and his opinion was that two
licenses were needed at Moorestown.
| Richard G. Ridgway, of Vincentown,
testified to seeing many teams at Barry g
and he thought license was necessary
Howard w. Haines, near Newboid s
corner, sends his produce wagons to
Philadelphia by way of MoOrestown.
The men seem to perfer to stop at Barry's,
the place appearing to be more desirable.
George Garwood, George Wurst, Cliff
ford Fielder, Stuart Mcfarland, William
&c. Wurst, Frank Gill, Joseph Marshall,
all testified to the necessity for another
hotel
