CASES OF ALLEGED
B%OOTLEGGERS PECULIAR;
SENTENCES SUSPENDED
DEFENDANTS SERVED WINE AND
BEER IN MADRID BOARDING
HOUSE, PAID FOR AT END OF
MONTH

U. s.. District Judge William H.
Pope today sentenced B. Custa, p. Pa
vioni and Joe Villa to serve 30 days
in Jail and to pay a fine of 800 each
for retailing liquor without a license
at Madrid, but he suspended the jail
sentence for 80 days to enable de-
PENDANTS to communicate with Wash
ington owing to the peculiarities Of
the case.
1t appears that the three men keep
a boarding house for miners at Mad
rid and wine and beer were served,
although the boarders did not pay for
it each day, settling at the end OF the
month, however. The three defend
ants declared they did not realize
there had been any violation of the
law considering the method they fol-
lowed in dispensing the "booze."
In the case Of the government VS..
Edwards, tried late yesterday after
noon, the court sustained the plea Of
former conviction and dismissed de-
PENDANT on motion of his attorney,
John R. McFie. Jr. It appeared that
a box containing beer and labelled
preserved fruit had been shipped
from Gallup into Arizona and the
liquor was promptly seized in Ariz.
ona, and a conviction resulted. Man
ager Edwards, of a storage company
in Gallup, was made a defendant on
the ground that his company had
shipped the box, but as a fine had al
ready been imposed in Arizona, he
was dismissed.
