LEGION AUXILIARY TO
GIVE ICE CREAM SOCIAL
Will Be Held South of City Hall Fri
day Night. For Benefit of
Legion Band

The Liberal American Legion
Auxiliary, consisting of the wives,
sisters, and sweethearts of the Legion
boys, will give an ice cream social in
the park south of the city hall Fri
day evening, July 81.
The proceeds will be used in behalf
Of the Legion Band and the band will
play during the evening.
The Auxiliary ladies, the Legion,
and the band boys will appreciate a
good crowd and the Democrat feels
that they fully deserve. Liberal needs
a good band and this one seems to be
our only chance The boys have their
instruments and are making good
music. All they need is a little boost
occasionally and this should be forth
coming. They have asked for no do
nations and 1t is no more than right
that they have a big turnout Friday
evening.
Take the wife and kids down to
hear the music and give the whole
family treat. If you haven't wife,
this is a good time to start to get
one. Most any girly will go to a
Legion social, and not be SO particular
what the fellow looks like who takes
her.
Now let's have rousing time and
make the band boys work over time.

tered suits against Jacks, Incorporated;
against John Dunstan, the proprietor;
against Heinze, the waiter, and against
Perrin, the cashier.
About this time an incident occurred
which only came to light some months
later when Heinze. the waiter, testified at
the. trial Of the cases against Dunstan In.
dividually.
Shortly after the various summonses had
been served, Heinze swore, Dunstan took
him to the Office Of his lawyers, O'Connor
& Donellan, for a conference The prin-
cipals of the firm were not present, but one
of the office force conferred with Duns-
tan and Heinze about their case.
Nov, II you plead guilty" Heinze says
he was advised, you will get OF with q
$50 fine, which Mr.. Dunstan will pay.
Then Mr.. Dunstan and Mr.. Perrin will say
that you sold the booze on your own hook;
that you. and not they, got the money for
1t. In that way everything will come out
all right"
Heinze returned q n6n-committal an
swer and nothing more was said.
Then, late in September, came the trial
of Jacks, Incorporated, before Judge Shep-
pard. Heinze did not have to decide
whether he would shield his employer for
the case was thrown out of the court on the
ground that the prosecution failed to prove
ha c0rnOrata OWnprshiU
So the case against the restaurant firm
collapsed But there still remained the
indictment OF Dunstan, the proprietor.
AS the trial Of the suit against Mr. Dun
stan individually drew near Heinze, the
waiter, became worried. He had pretty
well made up his mind to plead guilty and
let Dunstan pay the fine, when he happened
to overhear conversation, he says, be-
tween Dunstan and friend, in which this
scrap of dialogue burned into his brain:
what about the waiterf"
ITO - with the waiter!" was the reply.
So Heinze, the waiter, went down to see
the prohibition authorities, and told the
prosecuting attorney, Mr.. House, some very
interesting things about the mysteries of
Jacks place, which cleared up, they
thought, the puzzle Of how steady supply
Of booze found its way to the tables Of the
The Washington times., 1922-01-29

patrons, although, try as they might, the
enforcement officers could not find the
source Of supply.
Sup on the roof" Heinze said, you will
find a big vault made of iron and brick
There are no stairs leading to Il and no
way to get into 1t that you win ever find
because you can't get to It from the build.
STAINS bedroom and out onto the roof and
In through a window and you will find
every kind of booze you ever heard of. It
is little house that Jack built"
The prosecuting attorney kept this little
nugget of information to himself. The trial
came on and Heinze, the waiter, told how
he got his liquors from the head waiter.
But this did not prove that Dunstan, the
proprietor, knew anything about liquor that
was passed out to the table waiter by the
head waiter.
Then Mr.. Dunstan was put on the wit
ness stand. No liquor was sold in his
place with his knowledge and consent. n
the walters sold anything It was for their
own profit, he insisted
Mr.. Dunstan was very positive that there
was no supply Of liquor, in or around his
premises-it could not be. Indeed, had not
the prohibition officers themselves searched
the place from top to bottom, sounded the
walls, poked into closets and thoroughly
examined everything? II there was a res
ervoir Of booze within reach of the en-
ployes Of the restaurant, II stood to reason
thew would have found It.
And as Mr.. Dunstan was giving his evi.
dence on the witness stand a gentleman
stepped up to the Judge, whispered few
words, laid a paper In front of him, and
after the Judge ha put his signature on 1t
bowed and wall ID out of the court room.
1t was a new search warrant authorizing
the prohibition agents to go back again to
the restaurant end find the blouse That
Jack Built" on the roof. And while Mr..
Dunstan was still giving his evidence the
agents found that blind vault on the ex.
tension roof and carted away several van
loads Of all kinds of liquor, and shortly ap.
peared in court with armsful OF bottles
which were arranged along on a table IN

So the Government was
beaten again. The first time
the prosecuting attorney failed
to pin 1t on the restaurant
company, and now, this time,
he failed to convict Jack, the
proprietor.
