said that Manning had been located in his present quarters since tho first of October and during that time many men of drinking habits were observed going in and out or the place. When asked by Judge Man. gan if he had anything other than personal knowledge that liquor was sold there he answered negatively The same sort of answer was given to question put to him by Judge Traceski as to whether any liquor was found in the club rooms proper.
 Sergeant Feeney's testimony was corroborative of that offered by Sergeant O'Mara. He told of asking Manning for the keys'to the up- stairs tenement and of receiving them,
 When asked by the court if Man ming had anything to say relative to the finding of the liquor upstairs the police sergeant said that he would not talk.
 On cross examination by Judge Mangan he admitted that Manning told him that he was the owner of the place. He also reiterated the statement that he knew that Man. ming was the rightful owner. He answered a question put by Judge Mangan relative 10 the complaint re- ceived about the place by stating that none Of these alleged con- plaints came from persons who were willing 10 testify as to the reputation of the club.
 Further testimony was also offer ed by Sergeant Flynn. and Police men kumm, Bloomquist and liar per and concerned the reputation of the club.
 At the conclusion of the police testimony the state rested it's case.
 Judge Mangan addressed the court to state that he did not feel it ne- cessary to put on any defense as in lis opinion the state had failed to prove that the tenement where the liquor was found was in any way connected with the club owner. He said that the key which Manning is alleged to have given 10 Sergeant Feeney was a master or skeleton key and might be used 10 open any door.
 Relative 10 the testimony of the policemen that men of drinking habits were constantly seen enter ing and leaving the place, Judge Mangan said that many a man Of drinking habits had gone in and out Of his law office and none ot them had ever purchased a drink there.
 Prosecutor Woods followed with 8 plea for conviction arguing that the fact that Manning held the key to the upper tenement WAS proof enough of his connection with the place.
 Judge Traceski denied the motion of the state and remarked that the evidence presented failed to prove the case against Manning. AS re gards the opinions expressed in the testimony regarding the reputation of the place he said there was noth- ing that would indicate that this was other than the personal opinion oi the policemen.
