to Meet-Bridge Being Repaired.

Before Justice Benjamin Briggs in
the town hall Tuesday morning Felix
Bedard was charged with soliciting an
order for intoxicating liquor unlawfuIly
on May o6th and of delivering said
order May 27th. The case of Bedard
was continued from last Thursday,
when he together with P. Charon was
arrested by Officer Edward Allen, and
load of liquor was seized from their
possession by officers Allen and Grand
Juror King. When arrested Bedard
asked for a continuance which was
granted until yesterdays court. The
case of Charon was postponed until
August 30th. Lawyer E. T. Burke of
Norwich defended Bedard and entered
a plea Of not guilty for his client. The
state was represented by Lawyer Ar
thur G. Bill of Danielson, who prose-
cuted the case for Grand Juror King.
After hearing the testimony of sew
eral of the states witnesses the de-
Tense offered no evidence. Justice
Briggs found Bedard guilty on both
counts and imposed fines of SIS and
$1e0 and costs. which will bring the
sum up to approximately 5000. Bedard
through his attorney gave notice OF
appeal and the bonds was placed at
$500, which up to late hour Tuesday
afternoon were not furnished.
