 LOSE FIRST CASE
Ms. Iiidte md Ionhnle
 Found Not Guilty Today

Mrs. Concetta Maietta, aged 27. proprietor of store at l07 Lafay- ette street. and William Montanile. aged 20. of 197 Gold street, alleged bottle toter in the store. were dis charged by Judge NJ. D. Sake in police court today, on charges of violation of the liquor law. The cases were heard last Wednesday and such a volume of testimony was presented that Judge Sake reserved decision until today. Mrs. Maietta was charged on two counts and Montanile on one count. Attorney Thomas r. McDonough represented them.
 Announcing his decision, Judge Sake said he felt there was reason- able doubt as to the couples guilt, and to Attorney McDonough he said that if they actually arc selling li- auor in the store, they are treading on very thin iCe.' Attorney Me Donough replied that if he found that the liquor law was being yioiat- ed in the store he would do all in his power to have a stop put to it.
 The cases are the first in which the state failed to obtain convictions on liquor law violation charges since Sergeants r. ]. OMara and NJ. J. Flynn were detailed 10 the enforce ment of this law a few months ago. In some others, charges have been nolled by agreement that one of the parties plead guilty, but Mrs. Maietta, and Montanile pleaded not guilty and fought the case for more than two hours, Nontanile insisted that three bottles Of alleged llquor which were taken from him by the police had been sold 10 him earlier in the day. and he denied that he was Tn Malettas store for the rur- pose of selling liquor, despite the fact that the police had information before making the raid. that Mon tanile would be found carrying the bottles, and there would also be a bottle in the store cellar, which was found after a search. Mrs Maietta denied that Montanie was employed m the store and she also disclsimed knowledge Of his possession of the bottles.

REMINGTON HOUSE BURNS
Structure on Turnpike Destroyed by Flames Today While Family is Absent In Hartford.

The home of Mir. and Mrs, Robert Phelps of Newington was burned to the ground this morning shortly after 10 o'clock in spite of tho ef- forts of the volunteer fire depart ment to extinguish the blaze. About three-quarters of the damage is coy- cred by insurance.
 The house was located on the Ber- lin turnpike opposite kiely's garage and the fire was not discovered until the flames broke through the roof. It is believed that the fire started from combustion. There was no one in tho house at the time. Mir. and Mrs. Phelps are employed in Hart ford and dog was the sole occu- pant of the building. It is believed that the furnace draft was opened when the family arose and that they probably left the house and forgot to close the draft.
 The Newington volunteer fire de partment was called. but it could do nothing. the fire having gained such headway. The water system of the Center Fire district of Newington does not extend that far and it was necessary 10 depend on chemicals and wells.
 The fire started about 9:3o o'clock.
