At 7:32, when she was eight

At 8:32 Mrs. Corson was IL miles
from Cape Girls NeZ and eight

A short time later he appeared in

Hubbard so won the confidence of
Olmsted that he was made his first
lieutenant in the daring game Of
smuggling liquor down the coast
from foreign ships anchored near
the Canadian coast.
Hubbard1won this position by his
bravery, because he volunteered for
the most dangerous trips of the rum

HEAVY SENTENCE
FOR LOCAL. MAN
ON LIQUOR COUNT

One of the most severe sentences
ever imposed in the local court was
handed out to Fred A. Williams of
Pittston, who appeal ed at the first
of several sessions Monday to answer
charges of unlawful possession of
intoxicating liquor as preferred
against him by Deputy Sheriffs Ar
thur G. Robinson, Frank Cotheran
and Forrest l. Brown. Mr.. Williams
pleaded not guilty to the charge, but
upon hearing the evidence of the
officers Judg Atkins announced the
sentence as $500 and costs and A
months in Jail, with s months addi-
tional in default of payment. The
heavy fine and Jail sentence was
due to the fact that Williams had
appeared in court on a previous SIM
liar charge.
Officer Robinson was the first
witness, but testified nothing bear
ing on the actual finding of the liz
uor. The find was made by Frank
Cotheran of Randolph. who found
number of holes along a fence in
Williams yard. In one of these he
found two-quart bottle. approxi-
mately onehalf full of alcohol, ac-
cording to his testimony He said
that when he showed this to Will
liams that he (Williams) said:
This puts me in hard place,
boys"
Officer Brown testified that he had
seen the holes along the fence and
had seen the liquor. Judge Atkins
declared that he should find the re-
spondent guilty of unlawful posses
sion and imposed sentence as given
above. Mr.. Williams appealed the
decision and bonds in the sum of
loo were furnished for his appear
anee In the January term of super
ior court.
