LOCAL MEN IN
BIC BOOZE CASE
$1,000 Suit Started Against
Herman Ellis by Two AM
boy Men

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. 6:-An
aftermath of the good old days of
booze" in Perth Amboy is the case
of Philip Borak and Sol Cutler
against Herman Ellis. being heard
before Judge Mountain here today.
The action involves the payment of
a deposit of $1,000 by the plaintiffs
for the purchase of ninety-seven
barrels of Overholt whiskey. which
deal fell through. and the plaintiffs
are suing to collect their deposit.
According to the testimony given
i'm the case, an agreement was
reached on December is, 1920,
whereby the plaintiffs placed a
$4,000 deposit with the defendant as
the first step in a purchase of nine
ty-seven barrels of Overholt whiskey
at 81 a gallon. This liquor. it is said.
was stored in the building on Maple
street, Perth Amboy. rented by Ellis.
The defense admits that the
$1,000 deposit was received and was
not given back, due to the fact that
the plaintiffs did not live up to the
terms of the agreement and there
fore forfeited the deposit.
Philip Borak was the first witness
called. He told of making arrange
ments for the deal, and of their in
ability to get a permit. He also o IL
of hooking up with Fucker and Cast
and of the failure of the defendant
to return the deposit after the deal
fell through. Borak told of a con-
tract whereby thirty days was given
the plaintiffs to arrange their papers
for the deal, and it is alleged this
contract points out that if the papers
were not arranged in thirty days the
deposit would be forfeited.
An argument between counsel for
the interested parties followed an
nouncement hat a contract had been
entered into. Thomas Brown repre-
sents the plaintiffs, while Wight,
Wight & Golenbock represent the
defendant.
The plaintiffs claim they were do
ing a legitimate business on permit
throughout Long Island. Some time
before the date delivery was planned,
Cutler and Borak took Fucker and
Cast in on the deal, which it is said
was agreeable to the defendant.
About this time, it is claimed, Ellis
received a notice from Prohibition
Officer Van Note that if he sold this
liquor he would lose his federal per-
init. As a result of this notice, it is
alleged, the deal was called off.
