 plaint

Mrs. Dorinda Richards, Providence street, was arraigned in the city court Thursday morning, on charge of violation of the liquor law. with five counts against her. Probable cause was found and she was held for the superior court in bonds of $500. which were furnished.
 The woman had been before the court three times before but there were but two former convictions re- corded against her as she was found not guilty the last time she appeared.
 Only One Witne.
 The states case was based on the testimony of one witness. Oliver pc- chic, 65. life long resident of Put nam. When Pechie was arrested las week Wednesday for intoxication he told the police that he procured liquor from the Richards woman and also from Simon Berthiaume. Berthiaume pleaded guilty and paid fine of Sa0o on Monday.
 Pechie testified that he went to the Richards house seven or eight times. He said he would go into the 'buttery" where he would be met by Mrs. Richards. He would produce a half pint or a pint bottle, according to the amount of liquor he desired. and she would fill his bottle from either a jar or another bottle. He said he was always alone when the sale took place. He said he just told Mrs. Richards he wanted the "stuff," and she gave it to him and he walked out He paid 90 cents for half pint and Sl for a pint.
 On cross examination witness said he was loom hxer and also barber. He told of going to the Richards home some four years ago to cut the family hair but denied he had cut any since but did go there to get a razor to hone and. return it. He said he told the officers that he bought liquor from Richards and from Berthiaume.
 Were You Drunk
 Prosecutor Johnson asked but one question: "Were you drunk when they took youg''
 ..I was" was the reply.
 Peter A. Gardner was the first witness for the defense. He said he went to the Richards home on duty as healthy officer and was there when the arrest was made. He said one bottle was found about a quarter full of liquor. He asked Pechie where he got it and he said of Berthiaume. An- other bottle with only n few drops was found in the entry. Witness did not ask where that bottle came from.
 The prosecutor asked Mir. Gardner if Pechie was drunk at the time and x.yff paas eafd that he was
 Denies Sales
 Mrs. Richards took the stand in her own behalf. Her testimony was a denial. She also told of pechie com ing to her home to cut hair and tO bring n razor. She said she had not sold any liquor since her husband was sent to jail for selling.
 Joseph Richards, the husband, was the last witness. He said he had been sick and in the house for eight weeks. He said that the only time Pechie had been there was to cut his hair and to return razor he took to hone.
 Attorney Miron, for Mrs. Richards, argued that as Pechie had been gross ly mistaken or lied in little matters such as the cutting hair testimony his testimony was unreliable and uneon- vineing.
 Told Truth When Sober
 Attorney Johnson argued that when Peehie became sober he told the truth as to where he got his liquor and that the small matters testified to were not material as to the sale of liquor '"You might say," said Attorne, Johnson, that man said he wa cutting his toensils at certain tim, and that this was not true and uha because it was not true he did no sell liquor.
 Judge Geissler said he was no troubled in making up his mind an' | found probable cause as he felt tina 1t was time for the superior court t' deaf with the woman.
