Customer Said He Bought

LEAVES WITH HIS FAMILY
Sericola Fined $500 for Selling Hard Cidcr-LoLcnski Assessed $200-Change in Bristol Sims bury Bus schedule.

Disappearance of an important witness with his household furniture and family, all within an hour. was the problem whicE confronted the local police department yesterday afternoon, when Officer Joseph Strup was detailed to serve a sub poena for the mans appearance in court today as a cog in the case against Frank Cshill, charged with violation Of the liquor law at his restaurant on Meadow street. Cahill, who Is familiarly known as King Tut" was visited by the police on Saturday night but no evidence was found. Later the police net en- meshed man who swore that he bought pint Of liquor at the place, which is decidedly not a tomb. The witness was kept under cover even on Tuesday, when the case was scheduled for trial. No hearing was held as the court officials were de- tained otherwise so that continuance WAS OIueTeu ullll lUudE.
 It was decided to have the wit ress notified of the time of the hear ing today and accordingly. Officer Strup set forth. Great was his as- tonishment 10 find the tenement va cant and reports from neighbors that a moving truck from Hartford had left but few minutes earlier. Even taxi cap was hired and the whole family left in style, to the envy of the neighborhood. So sud den had been the move that the house owner was unaware of the vacancy.
 In order that the witness may be returned here to testify the case Of Cahill was continued today for a week and in the meantime the miss Ing cog will be safely incarcerated to insure no other checkmating moves.
 When the police visited "King Tut's' place on Saturday night, the restaurant was as free from intoXi- cants as a mummy's tomb on the Nile, but the officers, dissatisfied with their first findings, kept a sharp lookout with the result that an al. | lcged purchaser was taken in charge After adroit questioning, he revealed the source of the "refllable" botl, and the second swoop of the raidlni | scual tool; t1l1cn
