 Mrs. Foley, another witness, testi. fled that the prohibition agents had telephoned several times to her at her home in Bclmar, N. J., while her husband was in Europe to find out when he would return.
 Wife Testifics
 On one occasion Girll asked il she or the children needed anything. she said. When she told Grill Foley was going to stay longer than he had expected, Grill said, she testified:
 Why did you let him go away? He would have been q wealthy man if he had stayed home.'
 She replied, she said: What he never had, he will never miss -> Capt. Gilbert Berry. the Megantic's 5 commander, testified at prclimin- ary hearing for Ames that although he was not aware the champagne was aboard, the seized goods look like a brand of wine that was on sale at Martinique recently at D cents a quart.

Foley
 said. the agents wapted some.
 When he told Foley that he had heard there was some beer at an upper Amsterdam avenue brewery which was to,be destroyed, Katz said Foley brought the agents over, intro ducod them to him, and told them
 about the beer. Foley told them. he continued, that if they were looking for money this was their opportunity. Grin, who was one of the agents, said.

 the Paterson breweries and said he
 had come to New York to take charge of the New Jersey brewcries.
 He said he wanted money and added, You know our position and
 what we can do'," katz testified.
 adding that Grill had also said that
 he was the direct agent Of F.. C. Yel- lowley and that he had to send some
 of the money to Washington.
 Grill demanded five dollars barrel

New York, March 2S. --- J. Harry Foley, New Jersey commissioner of weights and measures. on trial on charges of wholesale bribery of pro- hibition officials, testified in defense today that his arrest was due to the miscarriage of plans of government enforcement agents to collect graft from New Jersey brewers.

 On the way back from the camp he talked and joked with friends in the automobile When they reached Put nam early in the evening they went to the room in the fire department head quarters. IL was noticed by friends of Mir. Devine that he appeared very quiet and took little part in the con versation His friends feared he was not feeling well, but he assured them that he vas all right and lay down on a couch and appeared to Tall asleep.
 The last persons Co leave the room thought he was still asleep but af- ter they reached the street they be- came worried at leaving him alone to finish his nap and told Patrolman Wil- liam Durand that Devine was tn the fire headquarters.

 -Postoffice Rushed
Poor emembered.-No Arrests.-
 Holiday Spirit Aheuads

Putnam had q good old fashioned Christmas. Christmas eve there was a light snow fall and Christmas morn ing dRwned bright, clear and cold. Walking about the city one saw the lights from many Christmas trees Tn the windows of homes; also wreaths of evergreen and holly. Many peo- ple entertained. Few left the city 10 spend the holiday.
 Church Services
 At St. Mary's church there was a midnight mass. The church was crowded, every available seat was occupied The Shepherds mass was sung, three priests, fr. Bedard, Fr. Dykeman and Fr. Routhier. offieiat- ing. There was special music by the 3 o'clock choir. Christmas morn= ing there were masses at o'clock, o'clock. 9.l5 and 10.30 o'clock with specially arranged musical pro grams. In the evening there was a vesper service with singing by the children's choir at 7.30 o'clock. All of the services were largely attended. There was special Christmas ser vice at St. Phillips church at o. clock a. m Tn service included Holy Eucharist with general communion of the parisk. The choir was present and instruments. At l0.s5 Holy Eucharist and sermon.
 Theatres Crowded
 There was no community Christmas tree or singing of carols. The only entertainment during the day was at the theatres. These were largely
 
 held both Christmas eve and night.
 Santa Clsu. Arrives
 The real opening of the holiday sea- son began with the arrival of Santa Claus al 3.45 last Saturday after noon People who missed this sight missed one of the most touching sights of the Christmas festivities. From three to four hundred child ren waited in the cold until the car from the north. fifteen minutes late. arrived. Santa Claus was seen in the front vestibule of the car and the children simply went wild. For getting possible danger, they Hooked into the street. surrounded the car and for five or ten minutes completely blocked traffic. The police were willingly helpless to maintain order. They felt for the youngsters and let them have their way. The automo.. bile drivers held up by the crowd Of young Americans took 1t good natur- edly and watched the fun.
 Santa CIau, Beseiged
 Santa Claus had one hard job. His experience resembled that of a base bah umpire when the crowd aos.k, on ths field only Santa was beseiged by friends and not belliger- ents. He finally had to take refuge in 4 nearby store to get his breath and straighten out his clothing and whi.kers. Ii was a good beginning and the youngsters, whose day Christmas really is, enjoyed it to the fullest.
 City Brightly Ii,
 The Chamber of Commerce provid- ed the way for Santa Claus to come
