 OF LIQUOR 'fRAME.UP'
Continued From First Pagc)


 the search warrant was issued on November .. the raid was not made 1 until the 9th. a short time after the | services of the two men had been courts attention to the decla ration Of Freihcit that he was framed" as soon as he learned of the raid. It was entirely possible, Attorney McDonough said. that somone wish ing the place to be successfully raided had given information to the police. which led to the finding of the alcohol in the urn. after having put it there.
 Touching further on the methods used by the police, Attorney Mc- Donough said it was strange that agents" had not been employed to make a purchase and get the eNi- dcnce in the manner which has often been brought into use, cs- pecially in view of the testimony of the police that men of drinking habits were seen in and about the place. As matter Of fact. the po- lice were unable to testify that they had even seen a single drink Of ll- quor sold in the restaurant, and in view Of all the circumstances, ! finding of not guilty was justified, he asserted.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney w. M. Greenstein replied that had an . 1t tnhr ,,c6i tttnrn1v Me- l DonouGh would have come into court 10 rake him over the coals and call him stool pigeon.' If there was "a frame-up,' Mir. Green stein said the police were not part ners to it. for they were fair. honest 1 and dilieent in the making of ar rests and would not stoop 10 any thing savoring Of unfairness. At- torney McDonough hastened 10 eX plain that he had not said or in einuated that the police were any thing but fair and honest, in fact he felt an impression to the con- trarv was so ridiculous he would not bother to discuss it further.
 Sergeant Fcency and Officer kicly told Of the raid last Wednesday and also Of raid on October 36, when 2 boy in the kitchen poured some- thing into a hole in the floor while Freiheit held the door and would not admit the raiders. Therc be- ing no cellar under tho kitchen, the substance which was poured through the hole could not be re- covered, and something else was poured after 1t for the purpose Of destroying the odor. Freiheit re- called on tho witness stand that the officers were in the place that day
 but he denied having seen the boy throw anything away. and he claim cd that as soon as Sergeant Feeney demanded admittance to ths kitch- en. he unfastened the hook which Kept the door locked, and admitted him.
 Officer stephen Coffey testified that since he went on the beat or B October 1. intoxicated men have , been in and about the restauran and customers and counter men al ways watch him as he passes. II - reply to Attorney McDonough, tn
 officer said he had never scel liquor sold there.
 Woodwork testified that he va / a short order cook and had beer working in the restaurant only two , days when he was arrested. H. knew nothing whatever about th' ; alcohol being in the urn and tol' l the police so at the time they too, : him to the police station.
