 Having attained a certain dignity as members of what is coming to be recog- nized as an established profession Git is hoped no member of the legal, medical, educational or other long standing pro- fession will take offence at this) it can not be possible that the ring of bootleg gers with Barnett c. Hart appears to have been affiliated has deserted him.
 Nevertheless Mir. Hart Is a guest of the county at Brooklyn jail in default of l the s5,00O bond that the state requires for his release from custody until such time Gin October) as he answers in the superior court to the charge that he at tempted to bribe State Officers Albert S. Fields and Merrill R. Keith to release | two truckloads of real beer seized near l Jewett City Monday.
 Jewett City was given a thrill Tues i day afternoon when a bondsman for the 1 drivers of the two beer trucks flashed | and handed over a $1,000 bill for the re- lease of the two drivers under bonds of that amount. But Hart, the ''ixer" who came post haste from his luxurious quart CTS at the Biltmore hotel in Providence to | the borough to the south of here to l sraighten out matters for the drivers, was languishing in cell at the county i jail late Thursday patiently awaiting l someone down in New York to come across with collaterial in the amount of 1 $5,000 to secure the bond of a surety come that would quickly bring his release

 In fairness to him his apology is repre-
 duced here for the benefit of readers ot . The Bulletin who have found any interest
 in the unusual case-unusual for this
 period of the twentieth century century
