BENoIr NOT GUILTY
Putnam Man Found Not Guilty of
 Liquor Charge

Napoleon Benoit of Putnam was found not guilty of keeping hquor with intent to sell when arraigned be- fore Judge Nj. H Geissler in the Put nam city court Monday morning. Be noit's appearance in court followed a raid at his home on June 2S, by State Policeman Ross Urquhart, when the state officer found forty bottles of home brew. a two quart jug of whis- key. two empty bottles. a bottle cap ping machine. and a quantity of eorks and bottle caps. according to his tes- timony in court. The state officer on cross examination admitted that Mrs. Benoit had told him that they were preparing for q party.
 When Benoit took the stand he told of going to Rhode Island and buying the liquor there. He told the coart that he did not remember the town where he got the liquor. nor who drove him there. He said the whiskey and home brew were for his own use.
 There was no evidence of Benoit keeping the stuff with the intention of selling 1t. so Judge Geissler found him not guilty on this count, but said that he deemed it his duty to inform the federal court of the transportation of liquor which BenOit admitted. Attor- ney Harry s Catcher of Wilimantic represented Benoit.
 Elzear Terrier of Woonsoeket was also found guilty of the charge against him. that of reckless driving. State Policeman Keith and two Put. nam officers investigated an accident on the Providence pike in which Per rier was concerned. as told in last weeks Patriot, and arrested him there. He appeared in city court on June 30. but a continuance of his case for a week was granted since he wished to secure a lawyer. In finding the man not guilty Judge Geissler said that he could find nothing in the evil dence to warrant finding of guilty, and that though the accidents in which Terrier was involved may have resulted from an error in judgment on his part, there was no reckless driving. Attorney Irving II. Miron of Putnam represented Terrier.
 James Botham of Pomfret was found guilty of being intoxicated and was fined $20 with costs of Sll. which were paid. Judge Geissler warned him that on his next appearance he would be sent to jail.

RUM SHIP SOUGHT; BELIEVED
 ABLE CLEAR UP MYSTERY

VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 15.- Provincial police and private detec- tives are securing the waters of the straits of Juan de Fuca and the Gulf of Georgia for the American gas boat Comet, which is reported to have sold cargo of four hundred cases of liquor to ". J. Gillis and his son Will liam of the Beryl c. before that boat was "hijacked."
 According to the police, the Comet is an American vessel with headquar- ters in Seattle, but has been chartered by two Canadian rum runners who are now in San Francisco with boat out side that port loaded with liquor. The Comet went out to this boat when it left Vancouver and loaded up a cargo taking a position off Flattery or in it's shelter.
 American and Canadian boats have been going out to the Comet and talk ing their cargoes off the ship return ing to Seattle in the case of the Am erican boats or to the gulf islands for transfer in the case of the Canadian boats. As the straits are rough wat CTS only large boats make the trip to the Comet from Seattle, but smaller boats are used to the gulf islands where the transfer is made from the Canadian boats.
 According to the police Gillis took his cargo from the Comet about Sept ember 13. He then spent some time repairing his engine before leaving the Comet for his rendezvous at Smuggler's Cove on Discovery Island.
 The next that was known of the Beryl c. was when the lighthouse keeper of Stuart Island picked up the boat drifting without any sign of life aboard. The deck was blood stained and the bullet holes were in evidence in the house and on deck. The an- chor was broken off it's chain and po- lice fear that it might have been used to anchor the bodies of the two men after they were thrown overheard.
