THREE QUARTS FAR
 TOO MUCH LIQUOR Waterbury Woman 7estifs It Was for Part Of Five People FIRE OF $50 ME7ED OUT
Luria Pays Costs--Ridgefield Gets on With Costs-Iemocratic Caucus Interest in Qoits--Other Items of Interest.

Three quarts of liquor and moon shine at that, would seem to be a little too mnc. for live people to get away with in one evening, but Arnita Brown, colord, of Waterbury stated calmly befor Judge Griswold in the Berlin town court last night that it was possible and even probable that she and for friends would have downed tha quantity of the stuff if they had Dt been separated from it last Frida, night in East Berlin by State Policeman Arthur Cone and Berlin Officers John Lewis and Nen- tres. She was fined $S0.62 and given 8 suspented jail sentence of 30 days. She couun't pay the fine last night and was taken to jail.
 Arnits was brought in charged with transporting liquor with intent to sell. When put on tie witness stand she he.rd the charge and when asked swhethr or not she was guilty replied with marked southern accent, "WelI I don't think I'm guilty"
 However, Prosecutor Charles F. Lewis was of a differen opinion and did his best to prove lis arguments.
 Officer Cone, when called to the stand, offered as evidente hand bag containing three half-nnt bottles of a colorless liquid which Arnita called whiskey, and a two-qmrt jar three quarters full of the sane stuff.
 The state policeman said that he and the two Berlin officers had been over in East Berlin working on an- other case and had leen instructed to hold up and question the occu- pants of all cars pasrlg them. The car containing Arnita md her friends. driven by white mal Mir. Butler, it was found later, anne along and the people were stopped and aues- toned.
 A search of the CT was made and the liquor found. The officer tcsti- fled that at first Anita had admitted that she owned tn liquor but later had denied 1t. I'D Berlin officers testified that they had heard her make these two statements.
 The officer sai, the party was bound from Watrbury to East Ber- lin. when apprhended and were probably on the way to the eXer- cises at one ofthe brick yards in that district whre big times are held every pay night which is Friday. He testified that pne of the occupants of the car wee under the irflucrce of liquor at te time they weie ap- prehended.

was married to Miss Mary Maurer by
Rev. FIR. Thomas Brulen at ST. An
drews church, April 6, 1880. To this
union were born six sons: George,
Anizet, Henry, Frank, John and
Charles, all of whom survive and live
in the vicinity of Potosi. His wife
preceded him in death July 20, 1904.
Following his marriage he devoted
his time and energy to the pursuits OF
farming down in the country known
as Long Branch, and by dint of hard
labor and careful investments accum-
ulated a large competency. He was
good natured fellow and liked COM
pany Many years ago when in COM
pany of a lot of friends, all feeling
pretty good, Henry in a joking way
proclaimed himself King of Long
Branch and by that name he had since
been known to the time of his death.
He had been ailing with stomach
trouble for the past several years but
was always about doing something
though he had retired from active
farm work. About five weeks ago his
condition became such that he was
compelled to take to his bed from
which he never arose. Besides his six
sons he leaves to mourn his passing
one sister, Mrs. Barbara Wallenhorst
of Potosi and two brothers, Joseph of
Lancaster and Nicholas of Sherburn,
Mimi, besides ohter relatives. In later
years of his eventful and useful life
he made his home with his youngest
sons, John and Charles. Thus has
passed another good and kind old ma
i've born resident of Potosi. Though
he had his faults and peculiarities as
all humans are heir to it is not known
that he ever did a misdeed or harmed
any one. He was a kind and indulgent
father, a good friend and charitable
to a fault.
