A preacher testified that Bron-

and, as his wife had said, was a
good man other than when he
was drunk. The preacher said
further that Bronet was acutely
aware of his weakness, and had
been treated medically to try to
stop his craving for liquor.
Judge Caro- reduced the charge
and fined Bronet $50 and costs.

People who begin to venture to say that
