 Stool Pigeons Effective
 The work of stool pigeons figured prominently in the securing of evil dence by the liquor squad of the local department, according to tes- timony presented at several eases in the city court Saturday morning. This fact was brought out by At. torney Noble E. Pierce. counsel for vincenzo Brunoli and his wife. An. gelina, of 26 Alexander street. at whose home over 800 gallons of wine and a small quantity of liquor were found by the raidins squad.
 When questioned as to the iden- tity of the stool pigeon employed to secure evidence. Sergeant Henry | Jeglinski stated that John Faaont had been engaged for the work and that it was he who purchased the wine at the Brunoli home. Vanont. although expected in court last Sat- urday morning. failed to appear, apparently fearing the wrath of his countrymen. According to state ment made by Policeman William Thompson. . member of tho liquor squad. Vanoni had not only left the city but the state as well. Judge William J. Malone. in in- posing fines on Brunoli and his wife. stated that while it did not appear sportsmanlike to secure evidence in this manner. 1t was undoubtedly the only way in which places of such nature could be cleaned up.
 Locked in Sallies' Room
 The Salvation Army has long been recognized for its hospitality but one resident of this city, following his experience of Sunday. is only too willing to admit that at least in hts case it was too hospitable.
 At 5:s0 o'clock last evening. of- ficer Aldie Brault who was doing desk duty at police headquarters, was informed by two young boyD that there was . man locked up iD the Salvation Army headquarters on School street. Tho man, seeing the youths passing by. called to them and asked that they seek the assist- ance of someone who could open the door and let him out. The boys, wise for their years, immediately went to headquarters and told their story.
 The mans predicament was ex- plained by Officer Brault to Captain Tagington of the local branch of the Salvation Army and shortly after { o'clock the man was released. It is believed that he fell asleep during the morning services and was over. looked by the Salvation Army work CTS when they left shortly after noon. The mans name was not di. vulged.
