H'Did you report this liquor seizure
to anyone" persisted Mr.. Jaques.
"Outside of the commissioner, I re-
ported to no one," Murphy admitted.
"Why not guard the city on the in.
sidea' Mr.. Jaques asked.
It would take thousand men and
as it is, there are hardly enough men
to guard the main part of the city.
Outlying districts are left without pro.

Henry Hill, an obscure and retiring
defendant, told how -Longfield had
scraped up an acquaintance with him
as a railroad man, but when he found
that the taxicab chap was a booze-run.
ner, he had summarily quit all associa-
tion with the fellow.
At this stage of the trial, assistant
prosecutor Pardee was assigned the task
of cross-examining the. witnesses. He
delivered line of rapid-fire questions,
seldom seen in this court and those
questions were most searching and con.
fusing. It was too late, however, to
break down the defense, although some
dents were made and several witnesses
stiffly shaken, as was shown by the
fact that harsh remarks and epithets
were whispered by sympathizers in the
audience.
Hill said that Longfield once re-
marked to him that "wild woman
has to have bulldog to advertise her
business.
Emanuel Sander gave testimony to
prove that Clark g $500 check, previ-
ously brought into the case, was for
furs and alterations instead of to Long
field for booze.
J. B. Clark was put on the stand in
his own defense. He waxed indignant
at times and earnestly denied Long
fields allegations as to criminal acts.
He strenuously denied that booze ever
was stored in his house. The only time
he ever gave Longfield money for whis-
ky was at the time of the Bobby Burns
banquet, when he bought bottle for
some of the elderly members Of Clan
Stewart, their names not being men
toned.
Mr.. Clark also denied the allegations
of Longfield and Field as to the Rice
Lake road incidents. He also swore
that Longfield threatened him, saying:
"Ill get you for telling Lazar about
my relations with Mrs. Lazar."
An evening session of court was held
that day. Clark's testimony was un'
shaken under cross-examination.
Joe Teddy, of Superior, defendant,
took the stand in his own behalf. he
was entertaining in his testimony. He
denied that he was arrested in Superior

He said that he was fined $25 and or.
