"Marsh Martin and August Winkler
arrested number of weeks ago at the
Brown Hotel charged with transport
ing liquor in an automobile have been
released. This order was made re-
Gently by us. Commissioner Herbert
Freer, when the case came up for
hearing before him. It was found
that the evidence was not sufficient

charges against him for violation of
the dry law will be sufficient to punish
him if he is found guilty"
