Who had \ wnllon of wine.


 school grounds where they drank the wine and then someone sug- gested that they go to Willow street and get more wine. All were intoxi- cated, it seemed. and karbonic and John koloski stayed outside and watched. The others came out with some wine and all drank it.
 Edward Koloski, on the witness stand, said he did not remember" who was with him in the cellar be- cause he was intoYicated. Judge Roche interrupted the examination to say he did not believe Koloski and it was not necessary to question him farther. Koloski said he would not have gone into the cellar but for Karbonic's statement that his broth er-in-law lived there and owned the wine.
 karbonic was hay as to the identity of some of the group and when questioned by Judge Mangan he was not positive that Merton was present.
 Judge Mangan claimed no legal evidence against Merton. Pros- ecuting Attorney Woods declared that Merton was the "keenest witt ted" young man of the group.
 Talk about legal evidence" Mir. Woods said, why, Merron knows more about evidence than half the lawyers in Hartford county"
 After finding probable cause, Judge Roche fixed bonds at SS0U in each case.
