 William Haeberle proprietor of road house in Fairfield where it, is said Elwood met his aIIeged victims was arrested by the same officers charged with selling liquor.
 It is aIIeged that Elwood arrested Joseph Skibo of Bridgeport while charged him with driving a car while under the influence of liquor. The car which Skibo was driving belonged to his father. It was pIaced in a gar age. Elwood took Skibo. who is 22 years old to the home of his father, Andrew Skibo. He demanded 1t is claimed S125 as bonds for Skibo. Not being able to get that he agreed to let Skibo go until the next day, keep ing the car as security.

 He then issued a. summons for Ski bo to appear in court on July 8. Or July he received $1O more and con tinued the case for another week.
