Max Hotkoski and Andrew Seger. man Of Terryville were bound over tc the December term of the Supe- rior court under bonds of s1,O00 each by Judge Joseph M. Donovan in the city court this morning. At torney Noble E. Pierce of this city and Hartford represented both de- fendants and in the case of Seger- man pleaded guilty and nolo con tendere for Hotkoski.
 On October the men were ar rested on Edgewood street shortly before 10;30 o'clock in the evening by Officers Henry Jeglinski and William Thompson and ten five-gal- lon cans of alleged liquor were dis covered in the coupe in which the men were riding. The officers in formed the court that both men had been under surveillance for some time due to their reputation as dis tributors of bootleg products and their apprehension was the result Of q tip furnished the officers follow ing a successful raid on an Edge wood street establishment.
 A bombshel was thrown into the testimony by the two officers who informed the court that after mak- ing the arrest, Hotkoski asked how much it would take to fix things up. Officer Thompson also stated that the same question was asked them by Segerman and Hotkoski asked Segcrman at the time if he had sl0o with him. Attorney Pierce stated that no bribe was intended by the questions of his clients but that they were simply seeking 10 have the same treatment accorded them as was given 10 Steve Kruleski Of E.dgewood street, who escaped with q $50 fine on each Of two counts, following his arrest and appearance in the local court.
 Attorney Pierce endeavored to bring out the fact that it was due to krueleskis information and assis- tance in the case that the arrests Of his two clients were successfully made. Both officers stated. how ever, that on the night In question they had been obliged to lie in wait in a swamp for almost five hours before their quarry appeared and that such a course was often neces- sary before success attended their efforts.
 A peculiar situation noticeable this morning was that on last Friday when the case of HotkosN and segerman was first heard. there were ten fve-gallon cans of con- fscated liquid used as evidence, whereas this morning but eight cans were to be seen on exhibit.
 Valuable Photographic Plates
 A number of old photographic plates, purchased by Everett A. Barnes of Terryville avenue on -hippins Hill for practically a nom nal sum, to be used for replacing broken windows In his barn and other outbuildings. may prove to be of considerable value. Many Of the views were taken of Bristol from 25 10 50 years ago and were the work of the late Herbert N. Gale, a we'll known photographer of the city for many years.
 Included in the pile of plates now h the possessions of MT. Barnes is one showing a fshlight picture of employees Of the Muzzy Bros.' store n 1902. While taking this picture he explosion of the flashlight blew off MT. Gales arm, which was primarily the cause of his death a short time later.
