 Iy someone is prevaricating in this
 here court this morning." was one of
 the arguments presented 10 Judge
 William c. Hungerford in police court eolored, of SC Arch str}et in an effort he made to talk the court into believing that he was innocent of any violations of the liquor laws.
 Judge Hungerford evidently agreed with Jackson that someone was pre- Nari ating, but from his finding in the case. Jackson himself was the one. In imposing sentence, the court said: The testimony shows that this is a very notorious and bad place, but in view of your straightforward story on the witness stand, I will fine you sl50 on each Of the two counts, and sentence you to jail for 15 days on each count Fearing that he was going to add more, Jackson cried: Judge, judge, that's enough" Ths defendant took an appeal, bonds for which were set at $500.
 Jackson is the steward at negro club at Ss Arch street and makes his home in a tenement in the same building, Sergeant Michael I. Flynn and Policeman Thomas J. feeney went to the place yesterday with an agent who went in and purchased a small soda bottle of he came out, he turned the bottle over to the police and they went to the house and knocked at the door.

The police waited, according to the testimony, and while they were waiting, they heard water running in the bathroom. After waiting about five minutes they called again. and the door was finally opened, and Jackson appeared clad only in a bathrobe. They entered aud searched but could find no liquor. A strong odor Of liquor permeated the air fin the bathroom.

He said he didn't take any. and the fellow said that as long as Jackson was in bed. he wouldn't stay any longer but would go away. "Ah thought, judge. that the man acted funny, coming in the way he did. taking out the liquor. and then going out again" Jackson said.
 As for the liquor bottles that were found in his place he said: judge. that Hungerford court is terrible for bottles. I'd be willing to bet you, ex- suse the expression judge, cause I'm hot betting this morning. but you sould go Up there now and find more Iiquor bottles than you evcr saw in your life. Tint is a weakness Of mine. go out and pick up those bottles and keep them in the house until I get enough to sell.f
