The unique building at No. 420 Market
street, which has become part Of the big
gcneral store of r. Topkis' Sons, for many
years has attracted particular attention on
the part of passersby. Originally the
property of William Hempill Jones, for
many wears it was the home of the Butler
book store. Prior 10 1851 it was occupied
as a trimming store, and in the latter year
was taken over, under lease, by Elias 5. r.
Butler, who occupied it with his book and
stationery business. At that time it was
a very small frame structure, about 20
feet deep, and story and half high MIR.
Butler enlarged it fron time to time, fin
ally taking in the entire lot, 10 by 10 feet
In 1892 the little old building, having
outgrown its usefulness, was torn down

yesterday afternoon at the Federal Build

director, stated that there were I40 cases
Just like it in the truck when he made the
arrest and five barrels besides. He retold
the story OF his finding the truck IN front
of a restaurant on Shipiey street, about
9 clock on the evening Of June ! and Of
the arrest after he had dinner with the
four men in the restaurant.
Police Officers II. G Pierce and Charles
Graham, Prohibition Director Boyce. and
James Quigley and Ralph Smith Of the
Custom House testified as to the dispo-
sition Of the liquor and their watchfulness
to prevent its being tampered with after
the arrest.
TAX sTAMFs oBLtTERATED.
Some Of the tax stamps on the cases
and barrels had been obljterated. and this
fact is one Of the main bases for the charge
of conspiracy. When the warrant on this
charge was produced M. Lynn protested
that his clients had appeared only to
answer the transportation charge and had
a right to notice and time 10 prepare
defense before a hearing on any other
charge, Commissioner Cam declined to
interfere and at last Mr. LINN, with the
other attorneys for the defence, Thomas

adelphia. accepted service Of the Warrants.
At the close Of the hearing they stated that
they would submit no evidence al that
time. Mr., Lynn moved for dismissal Of
the charge Of conspiracy. but the court
accep pted the district attorneys view that
the charge had been sufficiently cstab-
lished.
The bond was fixed at $500 ii tie trans
