 With reference to Hurwitz, States Attorney Alcorn said that his office had evidence of a. sale of liquor by HurWitz on February 22.
 Racketeers Sent to Jail
 Henry Gallard. 80, of 2252 w. 1S7th street, New York scity, and Walter Character. 20, of 261 w.. t4Srd street, New York, negroes, were sentenced to jail on the charge of attempting to obtain money un- der false pretenses. Gaillards scn- tencc was nine months and that of Character, two months.
 States Attorney Alcorn outlined to the court the details O. the DO tato racket" which the men at tempted to operate in New Britain last month. He said Gaillard called at the places of business of promi- nent residents of the city after as- certaining that they were out of town and represented that cases of liquor had been ordered for deliv- cry C. o. D.
 Gaillard did not actually collect any money because one of the places at which he called was the office of a man who was known not to be interested in purchasing liquor. AL though MT. Alcorn did not refer to him by name, it was evident that he referred to E. J. Skinner, chairman of the board of directors of the Skinner Chuck Co.
 Gallard and Character had an automobile, Mir. Alcorn said, and Character remained in it while Gail- lard made the calls.
 Judge w. r. Mangan who repre- scnted Gaillard and Character, said that the latter had absolutely no record anywhere. He said Charac- ter had nothing to do with the of- fcnse and had no more part in it than had the cases of potatoes which were found in the automobile. AS to Gaillard. Fudge Mangan said there was no question that he must be punished. However, the game he tried to work was not as bad as the ordinary confidence game which is sometimes successfully operated be- cause nobody who was approached was takn in by his representations and anybody who might be misled into giving him money, would be a vlolator of the liquor law.
 Judge Mangan further said that Gaillard, after being arrested, had sent for County Detective Edward ]. Hickey and told him everything he wanted to know about the case. As to a penalty Judge Mangan sug- gested six months in jail for Gail lard. He inadvertently told the court that Gaillard had already been in jail three months and Judge Jen- nlngs remarked that as he listened 10 the states attorney and the de- Tense counsel, he had come to the conclusion that a six months sen- tence vas sufficient.
 MT. Alcorn. however, called the courts attention to the fact that GaillarI had been in jail three weeks instead of three months and Judge Margan hastened to assure the court that lie lad meant to say three weeks.
 Warren Sent to Jail Carl L. Warren of Linden street, New Britain, was sentenced to jail for 30 days on the charge of ob- taining money under false pretenses. Assistant States Attorney Donald Gaffney told the court that Warren had made out check for s1S.5O land signed it with a fictitious name | after which he purchased radio tubes and glycerine and received the balance in cash. That occurred in New Britain.
 He also made out check for s15 in East Hartford but that charge would be nolled. MT. Gaffney said and whatever sentence the court saw fit to impose would cover both counts.
 Attorney Harry M. Ginsburg asked for a suspended jail sentence but Judge Jennings felt that Warren should serve the 50 days in jail.
