MONTPELIER
Seven Waterbury Liquor Cases Were Dis
posed of in City Court.

Seven cases were disposed of in Mont
pelier city court Monday afternoon which
resulted in the state getting $500 in fines,
considerable in costs and still more mon
ey to come if it is found that the liquor
condemned can be sold at a fair value to
some state institution. The cases in
which fines were imposed were l.. Savoini
and Mrs, Louis Bianehi OF Waterbury.
Each was fined $500 and costs, and each
given a sentence of from eight to ten
months in the house of correction, the
sentence being suspended upon the pay
ment of the fine and costs They also
had to pay condemnation proceedings in
liquor cases These cases are the result
of raid that was performed in Water
bury the night before Christmas, in
which quantity OF liquor was found,
Well towards 81 900 worth of liquor was
condemned Monday afternoon. The first
case was that against Mrs. Bianchi who
pleaded guilty to illegal selling Of liquor.
The liquor found at her house and CON
demned included two barrels Of cider,
two barrels of wine, two Jugs of wine,
one jug Of grappa, one bottle of whiskey,
four bottles of wine; and it cost her hus
band, who was adjudged the keeper of
the liquor, S2207 for the condemnation
proceedings. The second case was that
of state against Sayoini, illegal keeping,
who paid $500 fine and costs. In the
condemnation proceedings 35 quarts of
whiskey two quarts Of wine, one quart
of grappa, one jug Of grappa, one quart
of sour wine and six barrels of wine
were condemned. The wine is worth
about SIS barrel at the present time
and if the state can turn il, under the
statutes, to spme institution a nice sum
will be realized. In Mrs. Bianchi's case
36 quarts Of whiskey We're found when
the second raid was made. This liquor
was condemned and the costs, Sl7.67, as.
sessed against the woman, who paid
these, with her fine. The cases of state
against Mrs Savoini, keeping; Louis BIZ
anchi, keeping and selling, and Mrs. BIZ
anchi, keeping, were disposed Of by be-
ing mol pressed. In placing the two re-
spondents on probation, the regular pro.
visions were made, excepting that the
probation officer may visit the houses at
any reasonable time OF day
An investigation is being made of the
recent action taken in committing Bernie
Haskins of Waterbury to the house of
correction; and Mrs. Westoyer of Water
bury, mother of the young man, came to
the city Monday afternoon, appealing TO
Governor Clement in behalf of the Young
man. II appears that the action taken,
according to Mrs Westover and the
young man, was hasty and that he was
not given time to show that the founda.
tlon for breach of probation was without
foundation. 1t was claimed that he had
not supported his child and that its
grandmother on his wife's side com
planned to the state probation officer
She claimed that the child was left with
its other grandmother upon her pleading
for it, but that it would not stay longer
in its present abode but would come to
Waterbury. The wife died several weeks
since of influenza. Haskins wants the
child and says he would have supported
it if he had known anything about its
needs.
As result of the arrest and fning of
r, G. ONeill in Waterbury last week two
other ceases developed. II appears that
.O'Neill, who is employed, according to
the officers, at the Central Vermont sta
tion, took money from one Of the cash
drawers. Before Justice Graves he plead
ed guilty and was given fine of $40 and
costs, to which was attached a Jail sen
tence. He restored the money and proba-
ton occurred as to the penalty. This
brought out that he was spending his
money in the pool rooms of Napoleon
Deguise and Peter Barbara, They were
