 Not "Speakeas." Lawyer Says
 Judge w. r. Mangan. representing the quartet. said there was no ques ton that the law had been violate" by Fallon and Moore, but the restau rant is not "speakeasy' dependins entirely on the revenue from the sal of liquor. It is q well conducted res taurant where many well known resi- dents Of New Britain take thei' meals, and the liquor sales have bee1 made as side line. Fallon, accord. inE to Judge Mangan. has promisec never to violate the liquor law again and he has gone farther and deter. mined 10 close the place at 10 o'clock every night with the exception of oc- casions when there are banquets which will not be often as Fallof does most of his catering in othel places When he had his business al another address on Main street, ht closed early in the evening. but since opening the present restaurant h, has catered to night trade, Judge Mangan said, and in all probabilit, this was ono reason the reputation for dealing in liquor was developed.
 Judge Mangan stressed the poin that Fallon'S restaurant is actual, an eating place. T eat there anC will continue to eat there as long q. he keeps the quality Of his food up ha said.
 Mir. GGreonstcin said he felt q sub stantial fine should be imposed witt a suspended jail sentence.
