Sears, 1t is charged. was stopped on
the street by Policemen ]. e. Boyle
and J. A Sullivan, in civilian attire.
and asked to sell each a case of beer,
and the policemen allege that he made
the sales.
Substance Of Charge.
1t is contended that the beer had not
been previously ordered from the
brewery or bottling establishment, but
that Sears bartered the beverage on
the street the same as a huckster sells
his produce. The police say 1t is the
first case of the kind that has been
brought by them.
A number of years ago, shortly after
the sale Of liquor in the territory
mentioned was prohibited. it Is stated,
scores of raids were made on speak
easies, and many gallons of whisky
and gin and numerous cases and kegs
OF beer were taken as evidence. The
, police charged Sears with keeping an
unlicensed BAR, ana his employer de-
posted $500 collateral to insure his at
tendance in court.
Provision Of the Law.
The law under which the arrest was
made provides. in part, that any per-
son who shall manufacture. sell. offer
for sale. keep for sale, traffic in. bar
ter. exchange for goods. or give away

such fine be imprisoned in the District
Jail or workhouse for not less than

PENDANT will demand Jury trial when
