 the town court Monday morning. The
 men who faced charges of intoxication and breach of the peace were Olek Kie- ziel, Kustak Karnecki, Louis Zloslkowi and Alex Jakerewski All entered pleas of not guilty, but, after court had been adjourned and the cases continued for trial until 9.5o this morning, the men changed their minds and said they were willing to plead differently.
 Karnecki pleaded guilty to breach of the peace but not to having been intox- icated and was fined S1 and costs, amounting to s13.74. All of the other men pleaded guilty to having been in toxicated. but not to breach of the peace, and each were assessed s13.74, which they paid.
 Asked as to where the moonshine whiskey came from, Zloslokowi, who was represented as being the owner of the il- licit liquid, declared that he had pur- chased it in Pascoag on Saturday of last week He said = quart cost him $10 and that he purchased but one quart. More than pint of it was left in the
 bottle displayed in court, so the effects of what had been taken by the four men 1 would indicate that this homemade
 booze has about the same knockout po- tency as a combination of T. N T., rat tlesnake oil and nitro-glycerine. Karnecki was very voluble and when asked, after the reading of the com plaint, as to his being guilty or not guilty of the violations charged. started talking about 100 words minute in Polish to some friend out in the specta- tors section of the court room, evidently by way of explanation of how he came to be locked up.z
 Who are you talking to and what about?" inquired Judge W. Fenner Wood ward.
 T don't speak English responded i Karnecki in the very best Americanese.
 And I do not speak Polish" comment ed the court, whereupon everyone enjoy ed a good laugh and an interpreter was called in.
 The "moonshine'' whiskey was an ob- ject of deep interest to court officials and the spectators generally. The product was smelled of and sniffed at. with more or less emotion, by numerous persons, some of whom declared that it seemed. to
 be pretty fair stuff but no one took a chance of sampling 1t.
