 Mrs. Zima was arrested at 2 o'clock Sunday morning when Con- stables Fred Callen. William Buys, and E. W. Furrey, after q two- hour vigil, raded her house and inter- rupted a liquor sale, catching her practically red-handed. Due 10 her family, she was not taken into cus- tody. but was told to hold herself in readiness to appear in court
 This morning through Attorney Thomas OConnell of Bristol, she entered plea of guilty to both charges before Justice Merit O. Ryder
 A bottle of liquor found on the table between Mrs. Zima and her customer was produced as evidence, as was a gallon and half discov- cred under the flooring in the attic. The fine was imposed and she was given 30-day jail sentence, sus- pended on condition of good be- haVior in the future. Her six chil- dren were taken from her custody and will be committed to institutions. Although this was not mentioned to her, the general practice is to re- turn inc children thus taken away after the parents have behaved themselves for a year, and Mrs. Iima will have this opportunity to recover the children. In the past i the Humane society has made sev- cral complaints about conditions of , tho Hima home.
 The Zima home has been the source of perpetual trouble 10 the local police for a year, during which period there have bcen arrests there on six different occasions. Four were for bootlogging and the other two for free for-all fights resulting from too free imbibing of "white mule" \ close surveillance has been kept since a fracas on Hal lowc'cn, and 1t is now hoped that inc liquor selling has been broken
