Stanley Babula and John Bulawa Pay S125 Each, Ignatius Wisk S200 and Rocco MasCola S125 By Judge SaXc.

Four men pleaded guilty to the charge of violating the liquor law and were fined total of $575 with costs by Judge NJ. D. Sake in police court today. The cases of two others were nolled by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney William N. Grcenstein.
 Stanley Babula, %, of 40 South Colony street, Meriden and John Bulawa, 19, of 173 Broad street, were arrested by Sergcants Fccncy and OMara and Officer Kiely at 5:15 o'clock last evening in a base ment store at 23S Broad street and each was fined $l25 and costs on recommendation of Mir. Greenstein. Both are first offenders and were represented by Attorney Lawrence J. Colon.
 Officer Kiely testified that he and Sergeant Feency pulled open a screen door and rushed into the store by way of the front entrance, while Sergeant OMara blocked the rear exit. BulaWa took flight towards the rear and threw a bottle of al legged liquor on the stairs but it did not break and Sergeant Fccncy re covered if.
 As to the reputation of the store. Officer Kicly said a number of com- plaiuts have been received and ob- servations by the police disclosed that it was "a cover up" for the sale of liquor, there being only a small stock of merchandise on hand. Five cartons of empty bottles and some drinking glasses were taken by the police.
 Although it was not brought out in the tr.cl, the raiders were in the store about o'clock yesterday afternoon, but Bulawa foiled them by flashing through the rear door, spilling the contents of q bottle as he went. The police figured that a second visit the same day would not be anticipated and they proved to be right in their deductions.
 Police Haid V'isil Store
 Expecting that Ignat.uS Wisk and some of his employees in his store at Ill Beaver street would be in Farm ington town court last night for the trial of Walter "KcyStOnc" WislI and other New Britain young men. Sergeant O'Mara and Officer Kiely drove up to the store about s o'clock and saw q man 20 in, after which Stanley Wisk. brother of Walter and Ignatius locked the door. The man was recognized as a patron O. "spc2keasics' and had been seen by the police about the Broad street store in the afternoon. so the two officers made rush for the door almost on his heels.
 Finding the door locked, Sergeant O'Ma"a gave it a kick and smashed the lock, incidentally giving the prospective customer the scare of his life. Stanley Wisk, bottle of all legged liquor in his hand, was pre- pairing to pour q drink and at sight of the officers he started towards the
 
 the front by a door which opens out and is impossible 10 crash open without great cXcrtion. He was handicapped, however, by the crip- pied condition of his legs. and Of- fiCer Kiclt grabbed the bottle away from him before more than a few spOonsful had been spilled. He was arrested on the spot, and Ienatius was located a short time later in Pennington town court. Officer Fuller of l'armington arrested him and turned him over to Sergeant O'Mara and Officer Kiely.
