 Tilts Between Lawyers.
 The court room was crowded witt spectators, witnesses, lawyers anc various times between Prosecuting Attorney Joseph G. Woods, and Judge William F. Mangan, who represented several defendants. Judge George w Klett was on the bench.
 Variolla Is Fined.
 Salvatore Variolla, who was one ol the states chief witnesses in the re. cent rum running scandal was con. victed of driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of liouor and fined s1o0 and costs. An inter- esting point came up here when Will liam Pagan, a motorman for the Connecticut Company raised the age a man was drunk.
 Was he under the influence of liquor?' asked Attorney Woods. T don't know" was the reply, T don't know how bad a man has to get be- fore he is drunk"
 Chief Detective Sergeant w. P. Nc. Cue and Patrolman Herbert Lyons reported that Salvatore was in suct shape that he navigated with diff. culty Salvatore contended that he was sick, but admitted that he be- came sick from four or five glasses of cider he had just had in Berlin.
 Intimates "Frame-up".
 
 torney Mangan suddenly launched ar attack on the squad which raided Steve Wisorki, of 4s Broad street, Sat. urday night, intimating that the DO. lice were manufacturing evidence
 Wisorki was raided by squad in charge of Sergeant Matthias Rival and composed of Patrolmen P OMeara, William Doherty and John O'Brien. The police say they found Wisorki with bottle of liquor in his hand, which he immediately transferred to his pocket They testified that Wis orki admitted he was selling the liquor for 25 cents a glass. One man got away with the glass, according to the police.
 Wisorki says he is taxicab driver and had been given the bottle of liquor by wedding party he brought in from Plainville Saturday night. He accused Patrolman O'Meara of chok ing him right through the neck un- til l can't even drink water" Two girls, one a daughter of Wisorki and the other a neighbours daughter, tes- tified that they were in the place when the raid occurred and Wisorki did not have any liquor in his hand.
 Witnesses Get Theirs.
 This called forth a bitter condem- nation from Prosecuting Attorney Woods, who made the comment to the court, Its a pity these girls don't know enough to come down here and tell the truth. They abso- utely come in here and lie to the court under oath.'
 In retaliation, Judge Mangan ex- pressed himself as growing very skep- .ical of so-called confessions ob- aimed by the police. Tn nearly ev- ,ry case they come in here and say, He said he sold it for 25 cents a glass; and every defendant denies on he witness stand ever making any 'uch statement. It's the only evid- snce they have. They get into their heads just what they think the evid- ,nce should be and they make it hat"
 Takes Fling At Woods.
 Taking a fling at Prosecutor Woods attorney for the defense he referred to the fact that "a po- iceman pops up on one side with question and you ask the witness, hen another policeman pops up on he other side and another question s asked. There was no glass there. f there were the police would have .otten it. Whenever a man goes into

Whoever brought these iris into court to swear to a lie as- ,..nea an awful responsibility.
 Judge klett consumed considerable ime in summing up the evidence. He aid if Wisorki told the truth the ourt did not see why he should truggle to retain the liquor. If the ourt were to believe Wisorki, the
