ternoon until half past four for con tractor James Smith al the old Ham mond & knowlton mill. In this he was corroborated by his employer and by his brother. Eugene Berthiaume, day watehman at the mill. who said he saw the defendant every hour when he made his rounds.
 Mrs. Berthiaume also was away from home when Archambeault claims she was in the house, according to her story. She said she went to Danielson in her automobile that afternoon and was accompanied by a friend. The friend eorroborated the testimony of Mrs. Berthiaume.
 Mrs. Berthiaume did say that after she had returned, about 5.S0 o'clock, she saw Archambeault come into the yard. The door was locked and she did not attend it and the man went away Both MT. and Mrs. Berthiaume denied any sale of liquor.
 Following the testimony the matter was submitted without argument and Judge Geissler said he would give his decision when a second case comes up for trial.
 Another Case Pending
 The second case will be based upon the finding of sixty-six bottles of home brewed beer in the Berthiaume home, together with a jug from which, ac- eording to the police, about a teaspoon ful of alcohol was extracted.
 The raid at the Berthiaume home was made by Captain William Jarvis and his officers. Saturday morning, following Archamheault' statements that he bought liquor of Berthiaume Bottles of the beer were sent away to be tested as 10 their alcoholic content and the case was set down for Thurs day morning. Thursday the case was adjourned without fixing a day of trial. Berthiaume will probably be arrested again on a charge of owning and keeping liquor with intent to sell, based on the finding of the police when they made the search.
 Berthiaume was arrested for H. quar law violation some months ago and was fined.
 Archambeault's case was disposed Of by a suspended jail sentence.
