FINE $500 FOR BLACK MARKET
SALE OF HALF PINT LIQUOR

In police court Monday morning
January 31st, Judge Dennis O'Brien
fined Charles Lucky, NuckyD
100000 and Costs for selling on the
black market half pint Of liquor
to a soldier. The arrest was OBJ
tanned through the use of marked
bills given to the soldier by Sgt
King Of the Moral Squad. From
evidence given by the soldier in
court, he paid Charles Lucky 81
for the liquor and then tipped him
a dollar. This was done to make
sure that he would have two mark
ed one dollar bills in his pocket at
the time of his arrest or at least
one marked bill.
Charles Lucky, who is a shoe
sinner at the Burlington Station.
said that as he kept changing
money it must have been in that
way that the marked bills got in
his pocket, and that he didn't go
out Of the place to get anything
for the soldier. But his statement
went for naught. Lucky was very
unlucky in police court Monday
morning.
