Policcman--AIso Flask of
Vinegar.

Thirty days in Jail and $50 fine, the
minimum penalty. was given to Willie
Allen. alias Black Cat, in Hastings
Court yesterday, when he appeared in
the first case of prohibition violation
tried in that court. He was charged
with selling ardent spirits On the
street, near eventeenth and Marshall
Streets. the night of November s.
Patrolman Allen testified that he
bought pint flask and a half-pint
flask from the negro. and then took
the man into custody. When he was
taken to the First Police Station it
was found that the pint flask con-
tanned vinegar, while the smaller bot
tie was filled with liquor. The &C
cpsed man claimed that the bottle of
whiskey was taken from his pocket
while being searched at the police sta
ton, and that he had not sold It TO the
policeman. He further testified that
Allen forced him to sell the other flask
at the point OF a pistol.

ing as to whether or not the officer

law. but the testimony OF Policeman
Allen showed that the negro had
solicited the transaction. The jury
returned verdict of guilty, with the
minimum penalty imposed.
