THE DRAMA AS PLAYED IN
LEWISTON

Scene a Lewiston rectory one night
in the absence Of the rector
Dramatis personae, son of the rector
a young business man in Lewiston,
a proprietor of local taxi company,
who assumed to have been in the
affair only for the purpose of show
ing mysterious person, the owner
Of the liquor. the way to the rectory'
taxis and property men.
Son of the rector had ordered
six cases at 500 per case--for friends
of course-admitting in court that ne
had no intention of paying for 1t, and.
it appears, was willing to help the
aforesaid friends to get the contra
band withaut paying therefor. The
booze is said to have been delivered
according to agreement. However
black the hearts of the bootleggers
they appeared willing to perform
that part of the contract, and as the
recipients tasted the stuff and de-
cided 1t was good, perhaps the boot
leggers were not purveyors OF in
stant--death poison.
Be that as it may, other parties
to the agreement accepted the con-
signment and proceeded to hustle the
purveyor or purveyors out of the
house without pay keeping, however,
the whiskey, whereupon the pro-
prietor of the taxi became wroth.
Even bootleggers. it seems have re-
tanned certain of The human charac-
teristics. With confidence sup
posed only to be exhibited by those
of the prattling age the wronged
bootleggers reported the affair to the
police. The machinery Of Lewiston
justice, wheels within wheels, began
to whir. At last accounts the taxi
proprietor found himself sentenced
to pay $500 and go to jail, the young
business men caught removing the
whiskey which they had hi-jacked,
were duly sentenced to tell their
story, the severity of which ordeal
appears to have satisfied blind-folded
justice, that now is cropping for the
mysterious party who brought the
whiskey onto the stage. As to the
mysterious party now in possession
Of the whiskey, that is yet intriguing.
Whether this little play is to pass
into history as a screaming farce
comedy is yet on the knees of the
gods. 1t would indeed have been
tragedy had there been found be-
hind the rectory stove a container
holding in solution malt and yeast
cake. That, under the law, would
have meant $1,000 fine and long
dreary months in Jail. possibly for
the stove!

They Do Such Things
In the Spindle City!

A special dispatch to the Boston
| Herald from Lewiston, Me-, Dec. 20,
was as follows:
After his son, E. Frisby Robinson.
had been freed of the charge of IL
| legally possessing several cases OF
liquor for holiday festivities, Arch
deacon George S. Robinson, rector of
! Trinity Episcopal church. today ad-
dressed the court, urging that no
further episodes of the kind be toll
Grated and declaring that if his son
was not of manageable age he
would take him across his knee and
administer a little old-fashioned dis
! cipline.
Anatole Levesque. proprietor OF
| taxi company, who was said to have
delivered six cases of sealed liquors
! to young Robinson on the day before
Christmas, was fined $500 and costs
and sentenced to six months in jail.
He appealed and gave $500 bail.
Young Robinson and few of his
| friends. so he testified, arranged with
| LevesQue to get them six cases OF
! good stuff at $50 case. While
this was the price agreed on, II meant
nothing to the boys, as they had no
intention of paying for the liquor,
which they planned to take away
from 1eF6SuuS dI tlIiic VI uChNtis'
AS Archdeacon Robinson and his
family were away for the holidays,
the rectory was designated as the
place where the whiskey was to be
delivered. After six cases had been
taken into the house, Robinson testi-
fled that Levesque came in to get his
pay. After some parleying over the
price, Robinson, who conducts a type
writer sales office on Lisbon street,
suggested that they go to his place
of business where he would draw a
check. This was a STALL" Robinson
said, to give his friends chance to
hide the liquor while Levesque was
! away from the house. But Levesque
declined to leave the house. sending
another man with Robinson to get the
check.
Robinson had been gone only few
minutes when his friends invited Lee
vesque to get out Of the house as they
had no intention of paying for the
stuff. He refused, so they turned out
the lights and threw him out" it
was said.
This angered Levesque, who tipped
off the police where the liquor could
be found. Young Robinson was in
the act of moving a case when the
officers arrived. Among Robinson's
friends mentioned as being present
when the delivery was made were
Johnny Mari, Clarence Donald, Fran
els Hayes and jeremiah Coffey. They
substantiated Robinson's story
Levesque testified that he was out
of the liquor business but had been
solicited by Robinson and as favor
got word to "party" that could fill
the order. Asked by the court who the
party was, Levesque said arthur
Rheaume and wife of Lawrence,
Mass"
Levesque said the delivery was
made by the Lawrence people but that
he followed along to see that they
found the place and got their pay.
It appears the Herald made inquiry
Of the Lawrence police as to the
designated Arthur Rheaume" and
got no information other than they
had received no inquiry from the
Lewiston police.
