on the afternoon of Feb. ], on the
charge of having the unlawful pos

place at the corner Of Hydraulic

would smile broadly and nudge Atty.
Houlihan. 1t became apparent when
the first police witness began TO tes-
tify that there would be an acquit-
tai
All the evidence the police sub
mitted was that they made a visit to
Meyers place on the afternoon of
pop bottles with about a teaspoon
full Of something that smelled like
whisky at the place. Detective John
Palol said that after the two pop
bottles had been taken TO police
headquarters. they had been given
TO him by Asst. Chief OF Police Cas-
sidy to taste. and that he had placed
drop Of the contents on the tip
of his tongue. He said that the drop
he tasted then was whisky, but he
refused to taste the substance in
the bottles in city court Thursday
morning.
"SmelIs Like Whisky"
Detective Pallo said that one of
the bottles smelled a good deal like
it had once had whisky in it. The
other one he said did not smell so
much that way. This was a signal
for smile of approval from Mrs.
Meyers.
Asst. Chief Cassidy was the first
witness for the state. He told of the
visit TO the Meyers place. and the
finding OF the two pop bottles on a
table in the kitchen just TO the rear
of the main bar room. He said that
there were two women sitting at the
table. He said that there was about
a teaspoonful of something I'm both
bottles. At the direction OF Deputy
Pros. Schwartz. the assistant chief
smelled the two pop bottles. The
odor coming from them was too
meager for discrimination.
The assistant chief failed 10 tell
from the witness stand what had
been told to the prosecutor at the
time OF the finding of the affidavit.

Marguerite Clark Has Fine Role i'm
''Out of n Clear Sky"

Marguerite Clark Has Fine Role in
"Out of Clear SIy.''
A dainty Belgian countess who OBJ
jects to being made a pawn of state
and sold in marriage to a dissolute
German prince, is the captivating role
essayed by Marguerite Clark in her
newest Paramount photoplay, "out Of
Clear Sky" which will be shown at
the Pastime theater Sunday and Mon
day.
Miss Clark's picture is an adapta-
tion by Charles Maigne from "Out of
Clear Sky" a novel written by Ma
ria Thompson Daviess. in which the
pincipal character is Celeste. the tiny
but stately Countess Of Bersek and
Krymn. Her scheming uncle de-
mands that she offer herself as a
pawn of state in order that his rela-
tions with Germany might be inn
proved. Celeste refuses to agree to a
marriage with a German prince, and
escapes with her governess to Amer
ica Her uncle follows her abroad,
however. but when the ship docks she
sludes him and catches a train for the
South. hiding ma Tennessee mountain
gorge There she IS d set vered by
Bob Lawrence. r handsome young
woodsman and wealthy landowner,
who lends his aid to BATTLE the uncle.
Scenes of intensity and sensationalism
take place. The role of Celeste is one
oE great sympathy. and it it probably
lie heaviest one Mss Clark has es-
saved for some time.
Among the PRINCIPAL sttors who
support the sta are Thomas Meighan,
Edward j. Radclit'r, Robert Vivian,
Eobl ie Connolly. the boy actor. Rob-
ert Dudley, Irene Freeman aud Ray
